Enbridge on Tuesday said it agreed to purchase three U.S. based
utilities from Dominion Energy for $14 billion, which will
facilitate the creation of the largest natural gas utility
franchise in North America.
Dominion said the sale comes amid its ongoing business review.
The $14 billion deal will see Enbridge acquire the East Ohio Gas
Company, Public Service Company of North Carolina, and Questar Gas
and its related Wexpro companies.
Enbridge said the purchase price comprises a $9.4 billion cash
consideration and $4.6 billion of assumed debt. It has obtained
debt financing commitments totaling $9.4 billion from Morgan
Stanley and Royal Bank of Canada for the cash consideration
component of the deals.
Enbridge also carried out a $4 billion Canadian dollar ($2.93
billion) bought-deal offering of common shares on Tuesday, which it
said is expected to "fully address the company's planned discrete
common equity issuance needs to finance this transaction."
