BKV Corporation (NYSE: BKV) details stock-funded power JV buy-in and dilution
BKV Corporation is seeking stockholder approval by written consent for a related-party transaction to increase its stake in BKV‑BPP Power, LLC, which owns two large gas‑fired power plants in Texas. Under a Purchase Agreement with Banpu Power US Corporation, BKV will acquire half of BPPUS’s interest so the joint venture will be owned 75% by BKV and 25% by BPPUS.
The purchase price is based on $376.0 million minus 25% of the Power JV’s net debt at closing, paid 50% in cash and 50% in BKV common stock. Using net debt as of September 30, 2025, BKV estimates issuing about 5,309,105 shares, which would dilute existing holders and increase Banpu’s beneficial ownership from roughly 66% to about 68%.
BKV plans to fund the cash portion with cash on hand and net proceeds of about $170.3 million from a recent offering of 6,900,000 shares. A special committee of independent directors, advised by Moelis & Company LLC, reviewed and approved the deal, which also requires approval from disinterested Banpu Power shareholders in Thailand and certain regulatory and contractual closing conditions.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.

The transaction is a related‑party deal because Banpu ultimately controls BKV, BPPUS and BKV’s majority holder BNAC. To address conflicts, BKV formed an independent special committee, hired Moelis for a fairness opinion on the purchase price TEV, and negotiated expanded governance rights over the JV. Conditions include disinterested Banpu Power shareholder approval at an extraordinary meeting and regulatory clearances, with an outside date of
Dilution is meaningful but not extreme: based on September 30, 2025 JV debt, roughly 5.3 million new shares would lift Banpu’s beneficial stake from about

FAQ
What transaction is BKV Corporation (BKV) proposing in this information statement?
BKV plans to acquire one‑half of Banpu Power US Corporation’s interest in BKV‑BPP Power, LLC, increasing BKV’s ownership of the power joint venture to 75% and leaving BPPUS with 25%. The JV owns the Temple I and II gas‑fired power plants in Texas.
How is the purchase price for the BKV power joint venture stake determined?
The aggregate consideration equals $376.0 million minus 25% of the Power JV’s net indebtedness at closing. That amount (the Purchase Price) will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in BKV common stock, with the share count based on dividing half of the Purchase Price by a $21.6609 volume‑weighted average price.
How many BKV shares are expected to be issued to Banpu Power US Corporation and how will this affect ownership?
Using the Power JV’s net indebtedness as of September 30, 2025, BKV estimates issuing about 5,309,105 shares of common stock to BPPUS. Based on shares outstanding as of December 4, 2025, Banpu’s beneficial ownership of BKV would increase from roughly 66% to about 68%, diluting other stockholders’ percentage interests.
How will BKV Corporation fund the cash portion of the Transaction?
BKV plans to fund the cash portion of the Purchase Price with a combination of cash on hand and net proceeds of approximately $170.3 million from a recently completed underwritten public equity offering of 6,900,000 shares of common stock.
Why did BKV need stockholder approval for the Company Stock Issuance?
Because the shares are being issued as consideration in a transaction involving a substantial security holder and are expected to exceed 5% of BKV’s outstanding common stock, NYSE Section 312.03 required stockholder approval. Banpu North America Corporation, holding about 71% of the shares on the record date, approved the issuance by written consent.
What role did the BKV Special Committee and Moelis & Company LLC play in this deal?
BKV’s Board formed a Special Committee of independent, disinterested directors to evaluate and negotiate the related‑party transaction. The committee hired Moelis & Company LLC as its independent financial advisor. Moelis delivered a written opinion on October 28, 2025 that the Purchase Price TEV to be paid by BKV was fair from a financial point of view as of that date.
What conditions must be satisfied before the Transaction and stock issuance can close?
Key conditions include: BPP Stockholder Approval (at least 75% of disinterested Banpu Power stockholders voting at a Thai extraordinary meeting), absence of legal restraints, accuracy of representations and warranties, performance of covenants including entering related agreements, continued effectiveness of the BKV written consent, and mailing this information statement at least 20 business days before closing.
