Energy Transfer completed the acquisition of SemGroup for $5bn.

Energy Transfer, which owns and operates one of the largest and most diversified portfolios of energy assets in the United States, completed the acquisition of SemGroup, which transports oil, natural gas and other products across North America, for $5bn. The merger consideration consists of $6.80 in cash and 0.7275 of an ET common unit for each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock of SemGroup, or 40% cash and 60% equity. This represents a 65% premium to the closing price of SemGroup shares as of September 13, 2019. The transaction, which is expected to have no material impact on credit metrics, increases Energy Transfer’s portion of fee-based cash flows from fixed-fee contracts and is expected to be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow per common unit. Also, beyond the equity issued for the transaction, no common equity issuances are expected.
