Recent Transaction
A recent highlight was KBCM’s role in the largest disclosed Gulf of Mexico upstream transaction since 2019. It closed in February 2023, and KBCM served as buy-side advisor to Talos Energy (“Talos”) (NYSE: TALO) in its $1.1 billion acquisition of EnVen Energy Corporation, a private deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico producer principally owned by private equity sponsor Bain Capital. The strategic transaction expanded Talos's Gulf of Mexico operations with high-margin, oil-weighted assets, was accretive to Talos shareholders on 2023E free cash flow per share, and was de-leveraging. KeyBanc Capital Markets was selected as a buy-side advisor because of its deep relationships and extensive experience in the Gulf of Mexico.
