ZUG, Switzerland -- Transocean Ltd. has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding common units of Transocean Partners LLC not already owned by Transocean in a share-for-unit merger transaction.
In the merger, Transocean Partners common unitholders will receive 1.1427 Transocean shares for each Transocean Partners common unit. The Transocean Partners unit price implied by the exchange ratio represents a 15% premium to Transocean Partners' closing price on July 29. Transocean expects to issue approximately 22.7 million shares in the merger. Completion of the transaction is conditioned upon approval by Transocean Partners' common unitholders and is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter.
Following completion of the transaction, Transocean Partners will be 100% owned by Transocean, and therefore Transocean will have indirectly acquired the 51% ownership interests in the Discoverer Inspiration, the Discoverer Clear Leader and the Development Driller III that are currently owned by Transocean Partners. Additionally, Transocean Partners' common units will cease to be publicly traded on the NYSE.
"We are excited about this merger, as it provides significant and immediate benefits to Transocean in the form of simplified administration and governance, tangible cost savings and improved liquidity," said Jeremy Thigpen, president and CEO of Transocean. "The contemplated all-equity transaction is entirely consistent with Transocean's current liquidity objectives."
"Transocean Partners common unitholders will benefit from a premium to the current unit price and receive shares in an entity with significant financial flexibility, a demonstrated access to capital and meaningfully improved market liquidity of its shares," said Kathleen McAllister, CEO and CFO of Transocean Partners. "Additionally, we expect that common unitholders will also benefit from Transocean's significantly larger and more diverse fleet and its industry-leading contract backlog."
"Then there was a woman, a lion of a woman."
