Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Kinetik and its subsidiaries agreed on August 30, 2025, to sell their 27.5% stake in EPIC Crude Holdings to a Plains subsidiary, with the Kinetik sellers expected to receive about $500 million of upfront cash plus about $96 million tied to a future capacity expansion. The company said it will use the cash proceeds for general corporate purposes, and the sale is expected to close in early 2026, subject to closing conditions including Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance.

Key points

  • Upfront cash of about $500 million for the 27.5% interest, after purchase price adjustments
  • Up to about $96 million additional contingent payment, due if a capacity expansion of EPIC Crude is formally sanctioned
  • Implied valuation of $2.85 billion for 100% of EPIC Crude, with $350 million for the contingent consideration
  • Expected closing by early 2026, subject to customary conditions and Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance
