One lawyer calls it the conference for M&A nerds; another says it’s for transaction geeks.
However you want to call it, the University of Texas School of Law’s Mergers and Acquisitions Institute attracts several hundred lawyers each October to Dallas’ swanky Ritz-Carlton to hear about the latest trends in transaction making while earning those all-important continuing legal education hours before year-end.
In between whiskey tastings and Bloody Mary’s, popular topics this year included reps and warranties insurance, an industry that has grown to around 24 carriers versus less than a handful a few years ago.
“Reps and warranties insurance has become extremely common in middle market and private equity deals, with sole recourse for the buyer also becoming more and more common,” Gibson Dunn partner Rob Little said on a panel.
Jones Day partner Alain Dermarkar said attorneys still need to pay attention to indemnity clauses “even with reps and warranties insurance” while Katten partner Mark Solomon thinks rates for the insurance may go up if companies begin to underperform and go into default.
“Reps and warranties insurance is the biggest thing in our industry and affects how we negotiate and puts a focus on due diligence,” he said. “While it’s made it easier to get deals done, no one seems to be worried, saying there’s a lot of dry powder. I’m worried.”
There also was talk of companies’ usage of non-GAAP financial results creating problems between buyers and sellers (“We’re seeing that more and more,” Munsch partner Rob Kibby noted) and buyers trying to use privileged emails against sellers in disputes after deals close (Baker Botts partner Samantha Hale Crispin said Delaware courts have found that “privilege goes to the target” unless otherwise specified in the contract).
Panelists also noted rule changes by CFIUS, or the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., including mandatory filings if the transaction involves critical technology and much higher penalties if companies don’t file at all.
There also was a panel that talked about digital health care and the increase in such deals (“Venture investment has doubled and we have a lot of clients looking to exit,” Wilson Sonsoni partner Scott Craig said) and the patient privacy issues and regulatory challenges they encounter (“It’s harder than it looks,” McDermott partner Joanna Lin commented).
There also was discussion about possible conflict-of-interest in transactions (using a questionnaire can catch problems early on, including coverage of possible shared charitable activities); and continuing gender bias despite clients’ demands for diversity (half of law school graduates are women but only 20% of law firm partners are female, for example).
“You’d be surprised that some firms come to meet us with all men,” AT&T associate general counsel Tamera Woodard said.
What could derail the M&A train, which has been running pretty steadily along with the longest economic expansion in history? Panelists noted continuing trade disputes with China, a possible impeachment of President Trump and higher tax rates if a different administration is elected into office next year.
Rick Lacher, an investment banker at Houlihan & Lokey in Dallas, is optimistic given that there’s still a lot of liquidity in the market from private equity, corporations, family offices and nonbank financial sources. “It won’t return to 2008,” he said. “Hopefully it will be more of a pause than a melt-down.”
Michael Saslaw, a partner at Vinson & Elkins in Dallas, said M&A activity this year has been softer than in 2018 but dealmaking will continue as long as there are multiple bidders for targets. “If the performance of companies falls off and valuations are lower, the seller may have to take less money,” he said.
There also was a panel on the oil and gas industry – “the least popular person at the dance” given its low free cash flow generation and high leverage – and none of the participants would hazard a guess as to when the sector might turn around.
“It’s hard to go to an investment committee and say, ‘Let’s invest in energy,’” NGP general counsel Jeff Zlotky said. “The political headwinds for energy and private equity are not too good right now. And it’s not a seller’s market like the rest of the M&A market.”
Sidley Austin partner Cliff Vrielink said that during the shale boom, a lot of people made a lot of money quickly. “But it’s a highly capital-intensive industry,” he said. “Now Wall Street is asking, ‘Can you do it better?’ There’s a race to quality.”
Raymond James investment banker Carla Tharp said there’s more appetite for strategic M&A than asset deals, but Wall Street still frowns on it. “They say they want consolidation, but then they throw up all over deals,” she said. “And they like oilfield services deals even less.”
The panel agreed that water services and minerals deals have been hot, mostly due to demand for the former and stable cash flows of the latter. Also popular have been transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies, mergers of portfolio companies under a single private equity holder and joint ventures that pair capital with drilling prospects.
But Zlotky said affiliated company mergers are difficult for those being rolled up into a different management team. “That’s a tough discussion to have,” he said.
Meanwhile, Texas lawyers were relatively busy this past week, working on 19 transactions valued at $4.3 billion. That compares with 18 transactions valued at $14.5 billion the week before and 29 transactions worth $3.1 billion at this time last year.

M&A/PRIVATE EQUITY/VENTURE CAPITAL
AT&T sells Latam operations to Liberty for $1.95B
In a move that will likely appease activist investors, Dallas-based AT&T announced Oct. 9 that it planned to sell its wireless and wireline operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to billionaire John Malone’s Liberty Latin America for $1.95 billion.
Charles M. Nalbone in Atlanta led the deal in-house at AT&T, whose general counsel is David McAtee. The company’s outside transactional counsel was Kilpatrick Townsend with attorneys out of Atlanta led by Joel Cartee.
The buyer’s in-house legal counsel was Liberty Latin America chief legal officer John Winter and senior counsel Erik Estrada in Denver and Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico general counsel Carla Framil and corporate counsel Luis Mendez.
Liberty Latin America’s outside counsel included Dorsey & Whitney, with attorneys out of London, Denver and Anchorage; Nelson Mullins out of Washington, D.C.; and Martinez Law’s Omar Martinez out of Houston.
The transaction includes network assets (including spectrum), real estate and leases; customers (including 1.1 million wireless subscribers); and contracts. When the deal closes, around 1,300 AT&T employees will move to Liberty Latin America.
“The combination of AT&T’s leading mobile and wired businesses with Liberty Puerto Rico’s leading high-speed broadband and TV business will create a strong and competitive integrated communications player,” Liberty Latin America CEO and president Balan Nair said in a statement. “We are focused on investing in digital infrastructure, innovation and 5G networks.”
The transaction has to clear the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice but is expected to close within six to nine months.
AT&T has been selling assets to reduce its heavy debt load, some of which was taken on to purchase Time Warner last year for more than $80 billion. It recently sold its 9.5% stake in Hulu back to the streaming video service for $1.43 billion.
To reach its de-leveraging goal, AT&T said it plans to use free cash flow after dividends and continue monetization initiatives. It’s already surpassed its monetization goal of a net $6 billion to $8 billion this year with $11 billion worth of completed or announced asset sales.
AT&T said shareholders should expect that share buybacks will be in the mix in the fourth quarter along with debt repayment.
Activist investor Elliott Management announced in early September that it had amassed a $3.2 billion stake in AT&T and called for the company to sell off parts of its business, including the Latin American wireless operations and DirecTV, as well as make management changes to boost its stock price.
Sidley, V&E advise on Drunk Elephant’s $845M sale to Shiseido
Japan’s Shiseido Co. said Oct. 8 that its unit Shiseido Americas Corp. agreed to buy VMG-backed Drunk Elephant for $845 million to strengthen its leadership in the prestige skincare market.
Sidley Austin said it represented Drunk Elephant Holdings with Texas team members including partner and co-lead Mark Metts and associate Katy Lukaszewski. The other members of the group were in Century City.
Vinson & Elkins advised Drunk Elephant founder Tiffany Masterson and a consortium of majority equity holders.
That team was led by partner Keith Fullenweider with assistance from senior associate Claire Campbell and associates Sara Bloom and Maggie Webber. Advising on tax matters were partner John Lynch and associate Liz Snyder and assisting on employment matters were partners Shane Tucker and Sean Becker with assistance from counsel Regina Ibarra and senior associate Christie Alcalá.
Jones Day was Shiseido Americas’ legal counsel, including Brian West Easley, Ryan T. Dzermiecki, Erin S. de la Mare and Diana Y. Defino.
Jefferies provided Shiseido Americas with financial advice while Drunk Elephant used Financo (Vennette Ho, Mackenzie Moore and Kevin Kim) and Moelis (Tarik Rguem, Emily Smith, Janet Park, Jean-Marie Gianni and Andrew Shore).
Drunk Elephant was founded in 2012 by Tiffany Masterson as a brand that benefits the skin’s health. Masterson is staying on as chief creative director and president, reporting to Shiseido Americas CEO Marc Rey.
The transaction has to clear regulators but is expected to close before year-end.
T&K, Locke Lord work on Tailwater’s $500M investment in Goodnight Midstream
Dallas-based Goodnight Midstream, whose $930 million sale to TPG fell apart last month, said Oct. 8 it closed a capital investment and an incremental commitment from Tailwater Capital of $500 million to expand its operations.
The energy-focused private equity firm has been an investor in Goodnight since 2016.
Goodnight general counsel Grant Adams handled the legal work in-house.
Thompson & Knight assisted Dallas-based Tailwater, including Wes Williams, Anna Marie Dempsey, Marc Lombardi, Nathan Stone, Dasha Hodge, Tonya Maksimenko, Mitch Gibbons, Dean Hinderliter, Katie Gerber and Holt Foster. Locke Lord also counseled Tailwater, including Houston partner Eric Larson and associate Jennie Simmons.
Goodnight moves fresh water and waste water for oil and gas companies in the Bakken Shale of North Dakota, the Permian Basin of West Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas. Its facilities and trans-basin pipeline systems in the Delaware Basin include more than 700,000 barrels per day of throughput capacity.
The Goodnight platform consists of 500 miles of produced water pipelines with 1.6 million barrels per day of throughput capacity. It said it recently signed five new long-term customer contracts in the Delaware and Bakken that will assure its eighth consecutive year of double digit volume growth on its greenfield systems.
Patrick Walker, CEO and co-founder of Goodnight, said in a statement that the investment will provide capital from a partner who understands that long-term growth requires a strong balance sheet.
“With this capital flexibility, we will continue to meet the increasing demand from our customers for scalable produced water infrastructure solutions and remain focused on providing safe, reliable and environmentally sustainable produced water logistics services to our customers,” he said.
Tailwater co-founder Jason Downie said Goodnight’s future is bright, with co-founder and managing partner Edward Herring noting that favorable market dynamics are driving further investment in the sector and Goodnight’s customer contract wins.
Tailwater manages $3.4 billion in committed capital. Its team has executed 100 energy transactions in the upstream and midstream sectors representing $19 billion in transaction value.
RigUp attracts $300M in funding from Andreessen Horowitz

Other participants included existing investors such as Founders Fund, Bedrock Capital and Quantum Energy Partners and new investors including Baillie Gifford and Brookfield Growth Partners.
Andreessen Horowitz has backed such household names as Facebook, Lyft and Pinterest.
Quantum’s in-house advisors on the funding included general counsel Jim Baird and VP Rob Meister. Lawyers in WilmerHale’s New York office represented RigUp, as they did when it raised $60 million in February that valued the company at $300 million valuation.
David George, general partner at Andreessen Horowitz who will join RigUp’s board, said the company stands alone in serving the energy labor market with technology and provides better “time-to-hire” and visibility for independent contractors searching for the right projects and energy companies looking to fill jobs with higher quality personnel.
Founded in 2014 by CEO Xuan Yong and COO Mike Witte, RigUp has 300 employees across the U.S., matching skilled contract workers with energy companies in the upstream, renewables, midstream and downstream sectors and keeping their compliance requirements up-to-date and even paying them.
RigUp said this year it will exceed $2 billion in gross service volume on its platform, more than a 200% increase over 2018.
The company plans to use the latest investment to continue expansion into renewable energy, midstream oil and gas and downstream operations and hire at its Austin headquarters and its Denver office.
Josh Raffaelli led the deal from Brookfield Growth Partners.

DLA Piper advises BuildFax on sale to Verisk
DLA Piper partner Jenifer Smith advised Daily Mail and General Trust-backed BuildFax on its sale earlier this month to publicly traded data analytics provider Verisk Analytics Inc. of New Jersey for an undisclosed sum.
BuildFax’s property condition and history data is expected to enhance Verisk’s solutions, providing insurers with internal and external views of property risks and changes to buildings over time.
The Austin-based target uses building permit, contractor and inspection data to provide information about the condition of properties to some of the largest insurance and financial institutions in the world.
The data from BuildFax is expected to enhance property analytics to Verisk unit ISO, which said it’s been using BuildFax data for years in its Roof Age tool.
“Property insurers have traditionally made underwriting decisions without important information about the condition of a building’s roof, electrical system, and plumbing,” ISO president Neil Spector said in a statement. “The data that BuildFax provides about building conditions is transforming property underwriting, both at inception and renewal.”
BuildFax president Holly Tachovsky said becoming part of the Verisk family will enable the company to augment its solutions, expand its reach and provide added value to its customers.
“The insights that BuildFax has been able to extract from building permit, contractor and inspection data will significantly expand the analytics that we can provide property insurers,” Verisk COO Mark Anquillare said. “These analytics will be able to help insurers in their continuing efforts to underwrite potential and existing customers with increased speed and precision.”
