Insights

Southwest Gas is divesting Centuri shares in a significant secondary offering priced at $19.50 per share, generating substantial capital.

Southwest Gas Holdings has priced its secondary offering of 15 million shares of Centuri Holdings at $19.50 per share, which will generate approximately $292.5 million in gross proceeds. This transaction represents a significant divestiture for Southwest Gas, who is acting as the selling stockholder in this arrangement. The underwriters also have a 30-day option to purchase an additional 2.25 million shares, which could increase proceeds by roughly $43.9 million if fully exercised.

Beyond the public offering, Southwest Gas has arranged a concurrent private placement with Carl Icahn-affiliated investment entities, who will purchase approximately 1.57 million shares at the same $19.50 price point. This additional transaction will generate roughly $30.7 million in proceeds, bringing the potential total divestiture value to around $367.1 million if all options are exercised.

The transaction structure featuring both a public offering and private placement to a prominent activist investor like Icahn suggests this is part of a strategic financial restructuring for Southwest Gas. The company has assembled a strong syndicate of underwriters led by J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo Securities, BofA Securities, and Moelis & Company, indicating the significant scale of this capital markets transaction.

This offering represents a continuation of Southwest Gas's evolving relationship with Centuri, following what appears to be a previous spinoff or partial divestiture. The transaction will close around August 11, subject to customary conditions, and will alter Southwest Gas's ownership position in Centuri, potentially affecting future consolidated financial results and corporate structure.
