21 July 2022business combination▼ BadMajor
Amendment No. 1 to the Rattler buy-in carries two things the June filing did not. A unitholder has sued Rattler and the general partner's directors over the deal since it was first filed, and the updated price table shows the offer had almost stopped being a premium: Diamondback stock had fallen from $133.43 to $112.52, cutting the value of the fixed 0.113-share ratio from $15.08 to $12.71 a unit against Rattler's own $12.64 market price.

Diamondback moved to buy in the public units of Rattler Midstream, the gathering and water business it had spun off in 2019, offering 0.113 Diamondback shares per public unit - about $15.08 a unit on the day before announcement. Because Diamondback already held roughly 74% of the economics and controlled the general partner, this went to unitholders as an information statement rather than a vote they could lose; Evercore advised the conflicts committee, which had negotiated the ratio up through successive Diamondback proposals.
