Diamondback (FANG) to Buy Rest of Rattler in All-Stock Deal
Read MoreHide Full Article
Diamondback Energy (FANG - Free Report) said last week that it reached a deal to buy the remaining 26% stake that it does not already own in its publicly traded pipeline business Rattler Midstream LP . The transaction is primarily aimed at simplifying the corporate structure of the oil and gas explorer.
FANG said that the all-stock deal would fold the outstanding units of Rattler Midstream into the parent at a ratio of 0.113 Diamondback Energy shares for each partnership unit, with the offer representing a premium of 17.3% based on the May 13 closing price. The firms said the deal will benefit both and allow them to take advantage of the combined entity's scale and streamlined structure.
Investors should know that Rattler Midstream was formed by Diamondback Energy to operate the Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company’s Permian midstream assets. The partnership went public in 2019 and owned some 600 miles of pipeline to carry crude, natural gas, and drilling and waste water.
Diamondback Energy said the deal was approved by both the boards and is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
Founded in 2007, Midland, TX-headquartered Diamondback Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration & production company with its primary focus on the Permian Basin, where it has around 414,000 net acres. Its activities are concentrated in the Wolfcamp, Spraberry, Clearfork, Bone Spring, and Cline formations. The upstream operator focuses on growth through a combination of acquisitions and active drilling in America's hottest and lowest-cost shale region.
