29 Aug 2008asset acquisition disposition● NeutralMajor
Stone completed its acquisition of Bois d'Arc Energy on August 28, 2008, after both companies' shareholders approved it on August 27. It paid about $935 million in cash and issued about 11.3 million new shares (each Bois d'Arc share got 0.165 Stone shares plus $13.65 cash). The cash came from about $510 million of cash on hand and $425 million drawn on a new $700 million credit facility maturing July 1, 2011. Comstock now owns about 13% of Stone and is locked up for one year with further restrictions for up to three years. Stone's two subordinated note issues (2011 and 2014) are now also guaranteed by the Stone subsidiary that took over Bois d'Arc. This completes the merger challenged in the July lawsuit; the filing does not say how that lawsuit ended.

A Bois d'Arc Energy shareholder filed a class action in Clark County, Nevada, against Bois d'Arc, its directors, Comstock, Stone Energy and a Stone subsidiary, seeking to block the planned Bois d'Arc merger, rescind the April 30, 2008 merger agreement and win damages. Stone says it will defend vigorously and cannot predict the outcome; its shareholder vote on issuing shares for the merger is set for August 27, 2008.
