Experience
Acquisition of International Resource Partners for James River Coal Company, The firm assisted James River Coal Company (James River) in its acquisition of International Resource Partners (IRP) for $475 million in cash. We assisted our client in its due diligence process, negotiating and documenting the purchase transaction, and advising on specialty areas including tax, litigation and executive benefits, and in a simultaneous negotiation of a $400 million bridge loan commitment from the company's financial advisor, Deutsche Bank Securities. We prepared three separate offering documents covering offerings of $180 million of common stock in an SEC registered offering and $230 million of convertible notes and $275 million of senior notes in private placements to institutional investors. James River launched a $150 million tender offer for all of its outstanding senior notes and increased the size of the offerings to cover that use of funds. All three offerings closed and the client received total proceeds of approximately $685 million. The closing of the $150 million tender offer as well as the $475 million acquisition of IRP are expected to mature in 2012.
Acquisition of ISP Sports by IMG Worldwide Holdings, Represented ISP Sports in its acquisition by IMG Worldwide Holdings to form IMG College, an approximately $500 million business unit, as the leading college sports media rights company in the country.
