CDT Roundup: 16 Deals, 11 Firms, 42 Lawyers, $2B

November 26, 2019 Claire Poole

How’s this for irony: The U.S. is awash with private equity money at a time when deal activity is low.

According to Buyouts, U.S.-based private equity and mezzanine fund managers have attracted $274.9 billion so far this year, compared with $178.7 billion at the same time last year. 

That figure makes 2019 the biggest year ever for private equity fundraising in the U.S., surpassing the high of $238 billion back in 2017, according to data provider PitchBook.

Two of the biggest funds combined this year were from Blackstone, which raised $26 billion for its eighth flagship fund, and Advent International, whose ninth fund surpassed its $16 billion target by $1.5 billion, according to PitchBook.

More is coming before year-end: Los Angeles-based Platinum Equity is nearing $10 billion for its fifth flagship buyout fund, $2 billion more than was orginally expected last year; and Neuberger Berman’s Dyal Capital Partners and Blackstone are targeting a combined $13 billion for their own general partner stakes funds, PitchBook reported.

Wylie Fernyhough, a senior analyst at PitchBook, said that private equity firms are trying to amass capital because they can, not necessarily because they predict a crash in prices seen during the global financial crisis.

“General partners want to make money—for their limited partners and themselves—and they’ll raise as much as they can up to the point that they can still deliver on performance,” he said.

So with all this money floating around, where are the deals? S&P Global Market Intelligence reported that U.S. deal value in the third quarter was down 51.4% over the second and off 32.9% over a year ago. The firm assigned the blame to geopolitical events, economic worries, trade wars and the beleaguered oil and gas industry.

The U.S. still reigned as the number-one dealmaking country, generating 3,160 transactions worth $218 billion. Technology/media/telecom saw the most action followed by energy/utilities, industrials, health care and financials.

Could the flood of private equity money juice next year’s M&A activity? Investment bank and law firms – which are beginning to suffer from the lack of deals – are clearly hoping that’s the case.

In the Lone Star State, worldwide dealmaking involving Texas lawyers continued to slide last week in terms of value, to 16 transactions worth just shy of $2 billion – versus 15 deals valued at $3.82 billion the previous week and 18 transactions worth $6.2 billion this time last year.

M&A/PRIVATE EQUITY/VENTURE CAPITAL

Akin Gump advises AT&T on $500M sale of Game Show Network stake to Sony

Sony Pictures Entertainment, a unit of Japan’s Sony Corp., announced Nov. 18 that it acquired AT&T’s 42% stake in the Game Show Network for about $500 million, giving it 100% ownership.

AT&T’s in-house attorney on the deal was senior legal counsel Mitch Menezes in Dallas. Menezes received assistance from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld with a team led by corporate partner Tom Yang.

Other members were counsel Nick Houpt and associates Alyson Rotunda and Laura Lindsay Tatum in Dallas; tax partner Alison Chen in Houston and tax associate Michael Farrell in Dallas; and an attorney from its New York office on employee benefits (partner Rolf Zaiss).

Latham & Watkins lawyers in Los Angeles and New York represented Sony.

The price included $380 million for the equity stake and around $130 million in dividends.

The sale is part of AT&T’s strategy to sell non-strategic assets to pay down debt it took on from its $80 billion acquisition of Time Warner last year. The company sold its 9.5% stake in Hulu to Disney in April for $1.43 billion and its Puerto Rican and U.S. Virgin Islands wireless and wireline businesses to billionaire John Malone’s Liberty Latin American Ltd. in October for $1.95 billion.

The Game Show Network cable channel will continue to be managed by CEO and president Mark Feldman and carried on AT&T’s DirecTV. Sony said the deal will bolster its catalog of game shows and first-run series, including “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune.”

Game Show Network programming includes “Deal or No Deal” and “Family Feud” along with classics like “The $25,000 Pyramid” and “Match Game.” It also has a collection of mobile games, including one based on “Wheel of Fortune.”

Morgan Lewis advises Sandvik on sale of most of Varel for $100M

Morgan Lewis said last week it advised Swedish engineering firm Sandvik on an agreement to sell most of its Varel International Energy Services business in Carrollton, Texas, to Blue Water Energy and Nixon Energy Investments for $100 million. Sandvik is keeping 30%.

The deal was led by partners out of the firm’s New York office with help from Houston partner Humberto Padilla and associate David Canales. White & Case represented Blue Water (Richard Jones in London).

Piper Sandler unit Simmons Energy was Blue Water’s financial advisor.

Sandvik offers tools and tooling systems for advanced metal-cutting, tools and solutions for the mining and construction industries and stainless steels, powder-based alloys and specialty alloys. Its customers are in the oil and gas, mining and industrial markets.

London-based Blue Water has been picking up other assets in energy-related areas, with portfolio company Excellence Logging buying surface data logging equipment, technology and associated contracts from Weatherford at the end of last year for $50 million. 

Nixon Energy is led by Jim Nixon, who previously was CEO of Varel and stayed on at Sandvik after it bought Varel.

V&E advises Pensa on $10M funding from Signia, ATX

Pensa Systems, an Austin developer of retail inventory tools, said Nov. 20 it raised $10 million in a round led by existing investors Signia Venture Partners and ATX Venture Partners.

Vinson & Elkins counseled Pensa, including partners Wes Watts and Paul Tobias and associate Vaughn Miller in Austin. The investors handled it internally without outside counsel.

Others providing funding were returning investors Commerce Ventures, Capital Factory and Revtech Ventures as well as retail industry veterans David Ritter, formerly head of the retail store practice at McKinsey & Co., and James McCann, who previously ran grocery operations at Ahold-Delhaize, Tesco and Carrefour.

Existing seed investors include ZX Ventures, the investment arm of Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Mick Mountz, the founder and CEO of warehouse automation robotics developer Kiva Systems (which was bought by Amazon), among others.

ATX managing director Chris Shonk joined Pensa’s board and McCann and Ritter joined the company’s advisory board, which includes Mountz; Tom Gruen, a pioneer in out-of-stock and category management analytics; and researchers in robotics and machine learning from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Texas at Austin.

The new funds will be used to accelerate delivery and deployment of Pensa’s retail inventory visibility system, which uses advanced computer vision, patent-pending artificial intelligence and autonomous drones to see and understand what’s on store shelves. 

The system helps brands and retailers minimize stockouts (a situation in which an item is out of stock), optimize product planning and increase revenue. Pensa claims the system’s approach detects stockouts with 98%-plus shelf accuracy and is scalable across store locations. 

Pensa estimates that retailers lose an estimated $1 trillion in sales each year due to stockouts and that its system provides brands and retailers with an opportunity to improve store operations, adjust shelf assortments and optimize the supply chain to boost sales and profit margins.

Kastner Gravelle aids Active on $1.8M Cloudsnap investment with Mercury

Austin-based Cloudsnap announced Nov. 21 that it added $1.8 million in growth funding from Active Capital of San Antonio and the Mercury Fund of Houston and appointed former Rackspace executive Matt Bradley as CEO.

Cloudsnap integrates with nearly 100 business applications, has added 300 customers this year and is growing sales faster than 10% per month.
