We’ll keep it short and sweet this week. Our holiday gift to you.
There will be more deals coming before the end of the year, and lots of analysis. But this year was a tough year. You don’t need The Roundup to tell you, or even remind you, of that.
Let’s just say we hope the end of this year, however bittersweet, is the beginning of a much longer appreciation of what we have, what we can do, what we can be.
We’d like to think that this brutal year has brought out the best in us. For many, it has. What’s important to realize is that there were those who were taking care of others and caring about their needs long before this pandemic befell us. They didn’t need bad times to get them there. And what that means is that their example will be there to follow, long after the virus has gone.
Kudos to them. Kudos to you. And kudos to all of us for making it this far.
There were 18 transactions at a reported value of $9.8 billion for the week ending December 19. Of those, 14 were M&A or funding deals; 4 were capital markets transactions. The M&A deals were worth $8.5 billion, while the capital markets deals tallied a reported $1.3 billion. That meant work for 110 Texas lawyers at 14 different firms.

Latham Advises AST SpaceMobile in $1.4B Merger with SPAC
AST & Science, a Midland headquartered company with a proprietary technology that makes cellular broadband networks accessible via space, has announced its combination with New Providence Acquisition Corp., an Austin-based SPAC in a deal that boasts an enterprise value of $1.4 billion.
Upon completion of the merger, AST & Science, operating with the brand name SpaceMobile, will become a public company listed on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol “ASTS.” The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021.
Latham & Watkins represented AST & Science in the transactions with a corporate team led by Los Angeles partner Brad Helms and Houston partner Ryan Maierson, supported by firm offices in Los Angeles, Orange County, Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.
New Providence currently holds approximately $232 million in cash in trust, the proceeds from its IPO in September 2019. The $1.4 billion pro forma enterprise value is 1.4 times the estimated EBITDA for calendar 2024, about $1 billion.
The combined company expects to receive up to $462 million in gross proceeds, $232 held in cash by New Providence and a $230 million PIPE, led by AST SpaceMobile’s strategic partners, including: Vodafone, Rakuten and American Tower, as well as UBS O’Connor and a broad base of financial institutions.
The company says its unique technology allows third party providers to provide global broadband services on existing devices to an initial subscriber base of 1.3 billion users. The technology, according to the company, allows such connection virtually anywhere in the world, even in locations without cellular towers or intrinsically costly communications infrastructures.
All AST SpaceMobile shareholders are retaining 100% of their equity in the combined company. The cash proceeds are expected to be used to fund phase one of the commercial launch of AST SpaceMobile’s space assets.
Abel Avellan, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile, will continue to lead the business post-transaction. The combined company will have an equity value of approximately $1.8 billion. AST SpaceMobile says it is positioned to “rapidly scale its revenue streams as it deploys its space assets for nearly complete global coverage, while benefitting from operating leverage and low maintenance capital costs via its super-wholesale, business-to-business model.”
“AST SpaceMobile’s low-latency, space-based platform will allow hundreds of millions of people across the world to access high-speed, cellular broadband service in areas where there was previously no such service,” said Avellan. “Universal broadband access has become a global necessity, and we are uniquely positioned to leverage our innovative technology solution and efficient business model to democratize broadband cellular access across the globe.”
Although AST & Space describes their system as proprietary, the company has filed with FCC for authority to operate “a constellation of 243 spacecraft in sixteen orbital planes at an altitude of 700 km to provide fixed-satellite service and mobile-satellite service to fixed and mobile devices employing the LTE broadband communications architecture.”
Although the project has received support from Sen. Ted Cruz, NASA expressed concerns to the FCC that the satellites will interfere with a string of its own orbital satellites known as the “A Train.” To date, there has been no decision by the FCC.
Kirkland Advises Vista Equity Partners on $3.5B Acquisition of Pluralsight
Austin-based Vista Equity announced Dec. 15 it had acquired Pluralsight, Inc. a technology workforce development company based in Utah.
Under terms of the agreement Vista, along with Partners Group will acquire all outstanding shares of Pluralsight for $20.26 per share, reflecting a 25% premium over the 30-day average of the company’s stock prior to the announcement.
Pluralsight provides software training and workflow platforms for sophisticated technology development. Their packages are aimed at managers, engineers, IT and security teams involved in creating and maintaining digital platforms.
Kirkland & Ellis advised Vista on the transactions, but the deal team included no Texas lawyers. Vista GC David Breach was a partner at Kirkland for 14 years before joining Vista in 2015, and founding partner of its San Francisco office.
Headed by CEO Robert F. Smith, Vista’s exclusively technology-based portfolio includes three tiers of funding for companies at all stages of development. Founded by Smith in 2000, Vista Equity Partners Fund VII LP raised $16 billion in 2019, the largest-ever fund raise in the U.S.
Kirkland Advises Oaktree in $700M Commitment to Partnership with BKV
Thai-backed Banpu Kalnin Ventures (BKV) has gotten a $100 million equity injection from funds managed by Oaktree Capital for its acquisition of Devon Energy’s assets in the Barnett Shale of North Texas.
In addition, Los Angeles-headquartered Oaktree has agreed to invest another $600 million “in future mutually agreed upon opportunities in natural gas,” according to a release announcing the deal on Dec. 16.
BKV closed the Devon deal earlier this year, paying $570 million in cash for the natural gas assets. It could pay up to another $260 million in contingent payments over the next four years, depending on oil and gas prices.
Kirkland & Ellis advised Oaktree with a team led from Houston by transactional partners Adam Larson, Jhett Nelson and David Thompson, along with Dallas associates Key Hemyari and Tori Newton; tax issues were advised by New York partners Michael Beinus and Vivek Ratnam.
Fox Rothschild advised BKV, with a team that included lawyers in Pennsylvania and New York.
“BKV’s strong management team, data-driven approach, technological capabilities and demonstrated strategy to consolidate US natural gas assets is attractive to Oaktree,” said Oaktree managing director Brook Hinchman.
“As ESG has become increasingly important to the energy sector and U.S. natural gas has become an increasingly important fuel source for global power production, we are excited to support BKV’s expansion in the U.S. and Banpu’s advancement of a sustainable energy future.”
Oaktree vice president Robert LaRoche will join the BKV board of directors.
“Our partnership with Oaktree brings additional strategic alignment and support towards realizing BKV’s aspiration of becoming a technology-driven natural gas E&P champion,” saidBKV chief executive Christopher Kalnin.
Kirkland, V&E Advise TC Energy On Simplification Deal With TC Pipeline
Canadian midstream giant TC Energy has taken steps to simplify its corporate structure by acquiring the remaining shares of its pipelines-focused master limited partnership in a deal valued at $1.68 billion.
Under the terms of the deal announced Dec.15, TC Energy will acquire the remaining common units of the TC Pipelines subsidiary in exchange for .7 common shares of the parent company’s stock. At closing, expected in the first half of 2021, TCP will cease to be a publicly traded MLP and will be wholly owned by TC Energy.
The deal was approved by TCP’s board of directors after its conflicts committee consulted with its independent legal and financial advisors on the agreement.
A Kirkland & Ellis team led by Houston-based transactional partners Sean Wheeler, Kim Hicks and Cephas Sekhar advised the committee on the deal.
Meanwhile, Vinson & Elkins advised TC Energy with a team led by Houston-based partner Gillian Hobson with counsel Chris Mathiesen of New York.
A slew of Houston-based lawyers assisted on the deal, including Houston-based associates David Bumgardner, Alex Lewis, Madison Guidry, and Brandon Brunet.
Also in Houston, partner Ryan Carney and associate Chistine Mainguy advised on tax while counsel Larry Pechacek advised on environment.
The team also included a trio of lawyers from Dallas, with partner Shane Tucker and senior associate Missy Spohn advising on executive compensation/benefits and partner Craig Zieminski advising on litigation.
Patrick Keys, based in Calgary, Alta., is TC Energy’s general counsel. He has been with the company in various roles since 1998, and prior to joining pursued a general commercial litigation practice with Calgary firm MacKimmie Matthews.
JP Morgan Securities is acting as exclusive financial advisor to TC Energy.
TC Energy said the $1.68 billion price tag represents a 19.5% premium to the TCP closing price before the original offer as of Oct. 2.
“The acquisition of TC PipeLines, LP provides us with the opportunity to consolidate our ownership interest in eight FERC regulated natural gas pipelines that are an integral part of our overall North American network,” said TC Energy chief executive Russ Girling. “In addition, completion of the transaction will serve to further simplify our corporate structure.”
NexStar Media Buys BestReviews for $160M, Kirkland Advises
Nexstar Media Group on Dec. 16, that it is purchasing BestReviews, an online consumer product recommendations company, from the Tribune Publishing Company for $160 million.
BestReviews, owned 60% by Tribune and 40% by its founders, BR Holding Company, is described as an independent online research company that analyzes and tests consumer products to aid consumers in their purchases. The company monetizes its 9 million monthly visitors by sharing revenues on purchases generated by its portal.
In addition to its product reviews, BestReviews produces DIY and seasonal lifestyle articles linked to online retailers on content covering 8,000 product categories in tandem with a network of more than 50 retailers.
Texas-based NexStar was advised on the deal by Kirkland & Ellis with lawyers from New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Boston. Employment and labor associate Nick Ustaski from Houston was the sole Texas lawyer on the team. It should be noted that Ustaski was also the sole Texas lawyer involved in Kirkland’s representation of global plastics and materials giant Trinseo in its $1.24 billion purchase last week of Arkema PMMA.
Nexstar is a diverse media company owning the largest number of full power local television stations with 197 in 115 markets.
NexStar CEO Tom Carter said the acquisition is part of the company’s strategic diversification into digital media enterprises.
“The planned accretive acquisition of BestReviews diversifies our digital content portfolio while presenting the company with new and significant revenue channels by leveraging our media content, national reach and significant consumer digital usage across multiple platforms. With Nexstar owned and operated digital properties ranking number one by Comscore for local news and information in terms of unique users, we are ideally positioned to quickly scale BestReviews through increased content syndication and brand awareness,” Carter said.
Kirkland, Hunton Advise on Stakeholder Purchase of Santa Fe Midstream
San Antonio-based Stakeholder Midstream said Dec. 15 that it was building on its recent acquisitions in the prolific Permian basin with the purchase of fellow private equity-backed player Santa Fe Midstream.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition includes substantially all of Plano-based Santa Fe’s assets, including its 30-30 Gas Treating and Processing Plant, low-pressure gas gathering pipelines, downstream residue and natural gas liquids lines, all located in Yoakum County.
Kirkland & Ellis served as legal counsel to Santa Fe Midstream, with a Dallas-heavy team led by transactional partners Kevin Crews and Thomas Laughlin with assistance from Dallas associates Danny Nappier and Abbey Zuech. The team also included tax partners David Wheat, who splits his time between Houston and Dallas, and Lane Morgan of Dallas.
Meanwhile, Hunton Andrews Kurth served as legal counsel to Stakeholder Midstream with partners Parker Lee and Taylor Landry in the lead roles from the firm’s New York and Houston offices, respectively, assisted from Houston by international transactions associate Ming Lei. Tax partner Allison Mantor of Houston, also advised, along with M&A partner Daryl Robertson from Dallas, partner Alan Marcius, also from Dallas on labor and employment and Houston associates Madison Amons and Jason Reiner on real estate.
Stakeholder, which is backed by Encap Flatrock Midstream, said the Santa Fe system will complement its own Campo Viejo Processing Plant and gathering system currently serving San Andres producers on the Northwest Shelf of the Permian Basin. The deal brings the combined systems’ gas processing capacity to about 85 million cubic feet per day, with total gathering pipeline mileage to around 450 miles and total acreage dedications to the combined gas systems to more than 200,000 acres.
Earlier this year, Stakeholder purchased a crude oil gathering system owned collectively by Walsh Petroleum and Burk Royalty. The deal brought pipeline mileage on its San Andres Crude Gathering System to about 150 miles with acreage dedications amounting to around 150,000 acres. The San Andres Crude Gathering System includes 60,000 barrels of storage capacity and is connected to Phillips 66, Plains All American and the Centurion Pipeline System.
Earthstone Acquires Latham-Advised Independence Resources for $185.9M
Woodlands-based Earthstone Energy said Dec. 18 it would expand its Permian Basin footprint by acquiring privately held Independence Resources Management for around $185.9 million in cash and stock.
The final price tag could be less than that, however: In a release, Earthstone noted the cash portion was estimated at $135.2 million as of Nov. 30, but it was expected to be lower at closing “based on current forecasts.”
The stock portion, meanwhile, is expected to contain about 12.7 million shares of Earthstone’s Class A common stock valued at $50.8 million based on a closing share price of $3.99 on Dec.16.
Latham & Watkins is representing Independence in the transaction with a corporate deal team led by Houston partners Jeff Muñoz and Thomas Brandt, with associates Alice Parker, Bo Rose and Luke Strother. Advice was also provided on tax matters by Houston partner Jim Cole, with associate Marianne Standley; and on benefits and compensation matters by Washington, D.C. partner Adam Kestenbaum. Denver-based law firm Jones & Keller is representing Earthstone.
RBC Capital Markets and Wells Fargo Securities acted as financial advisors to Earthstone. Jefferies acted as financial advisor to Independence.
The assets to be acquired include 4900 core net acres in Midland and Ector counties and another 38,500 net acres in the eastern Midland basin. Earthstone expects to see a jump in production, from 17,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the third quarter of 2020 to 25,700 Boepd after the deal closes, expected in the first quarter of next year.
Earthstone will also get a bump to its credit facility, with the borrowing base to increase from the current $240 million to $360 million following the deal. It will need that cushion, as it intends to fund the cash portion of its purchase with both cash on hand and new borrowings under the credit facility.
“This transaction is another important step in the execution of our growth strategy to further increase our scale with high-quality accretive acquisitions,” said Earthstone chief executive Robert J. Anderson.
“This is consistent with our stated strategy to be a consolidator in the Permian Basin and positions us well for additional value-enhancing transactions. We will maintain strict financial discipline as we consider future transactions, both as it relates to valuation and to maintaining our balance sheet strength.”
The deal will also result in changes to Earthstone’s board of directors. Independence Resources Management backer Warburg Pincus will have the right to appoint one member to the Earthstone board, bringing the total number of directors to nine. Meanwhile, Earthstone shareholder Encap Investments will get to keep its three existing directors.
No changes to Earthstone management will occur in connection with the deal.
