Talos (TALO) Announces Zama's Stake in Its Mexican Subsidiary
Read MoreHide Full Article
Talos Energy Inc. (TALO - Free Report) announced that Zamajal, S. A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Carso, has agreed to acquire a 49.9% stake in TALO’s Mexican subsidiary — Talos Mexico. Talos will continue to own the majority of Talos Mexico's shares. The transaction is slated to close by the third quarter of 2023, subject to approval by the Federal Economic Competition Commission of Mexico.
Zamajal agreed to pay $124.75 million for the aforementioned stake. The first $49.90 million is payable upon initial production, while the remaining $74.85 million will be paid at closing.
Grupo Carso is one of the world's largest conglomerates, with its headquarters in Mexico City.
Timothy S. Duncan, president and chief executive officer of Talos, expressed his delight at the company’s partnership with Carso. He stated that the collaboration dates back to the 2015 offshore lease sales in Mexico. Duncan added that Carso's investment is a testament to the economic potential of Zama and the joint venture could benefit from the conglomerate’s critical presence in Mexico.
According to Duncan, the transaction provides significant upfront cash proceeds while establishing a baseline Zama valuation for Talos shareholders, who retain a significant upside valuation as the project advances toward its first production.
In March 2023, TALO announced that the Zama Unit Development Plan was officially submitted to Mexico's National Commission of Hydrocarbons for approval. In order to oversee the ongoing development and operation of Zama, an integrated project team comprised of representatives from all four Zama Unit Holders was created.
The planning, drilling, construction and completion of all Zama wells, along with the planning, execution and delivery of Zama's offshore infrastructure will be co-led by Talos.
