Legado Capital Achieves $72 Million ABS Financing for Energy Sector Acquisition
Legado Capital Advisors, LLC today announced its successful completion of a substantial $72 million asset-backed securities (ABS) issuance for Revolution Resources III, LLC, often referred to as Revolution III. This financial milestone not only underscores Legado Capital's commitment to supporting energy sector investments but also enables Revolution III to pursue its acquisition of Amplify Energy’s Oklahoma assets, marking a significant step in its expansion strategy.
The announcement comes as Revolution III seeks to deepen its foothold in the Oklahoma oil market, a region known for its productive energy resources. By securing this financing, Revolution III, a portfolio company under Mountain Capital Management, LLC, is set to enhance its operational capacity and streamline its asset acquisition processes.
Victor Mendoza, the Managing Partner at Legado Capital Advisors, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the partnership: “It was a privilege to collaborate with both Revolution III and Mountain Capital for this ABS issuance. This transaction establishes a robust framework for future acquisition financings, and we are eager to work alongside the Mountain Capital team in leveraging the ABS structure to create more value.”
Key Highlights of the ABS Assets
- - 340 Producing Wellbores: Revolution III will have access to a diverse array of producing wellbores.
- - 98.5% Operated: The majority of the operations will be managed directly, ensuring control over production processes.
- - Stable Production Decline: The financing is structured to accommodate a stable decline in production rates, which is a common scenario within the oil industry.
This financing is crucial as it provides long-term and structured capital, backing Mountain Capital’s strategic growth endeavors. It is a testament to the growing investor confidence in Mountain Capital’s disciplined acquisition approach and Revolution III's operational efficiency and formidable execution.
Legado Capital played multiple roles in this financing, acting as the sole structuring agent, sole placement agent, and sole rating advisor.
