Presidio and EQV (NYSE: FTW) pursue up to $1B acquisition facility
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
EQV Ventures Acquisition Corp. filed an 8-K describing a press release in which Presidio Investment Holdings mandated an affiliate of Goldman Sachs to arrange up to $1.0 billion in potential acquisition financing following completion of their proposed business combination.

Insights
EQV’s deal target outlines a proposed up to $1.0B acquisition financing facility with Goldman Sachs, but execution depends on closing the merger and final documents.
The disclosure centers on Presidio mandating an affiliate of Goldman Sachs to arrange up to $1.0 billion in potential acquisition financing after its business combination with EQV Ventures Acquisition Corp. The facility is intended to fund acquisitions of producing oil and gas assets and may later be refinanced with investment grade asset-backed securities.
However, the text emphasizes that the parties have only reached commercial agreement on certain high-level terms. Entry into the facility is conditioned on consummation of the business combination, negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, future qualifying acquisitions, diligence, funding approvals and customary closing conditions, and there is no guarantee it will be completed.
The filing also highlights procedural milestones: the Registration Statement on Form S‑4 was declared effective on January 30, 2026, and EQV shareholders are scheduled to vote on the proposed business combination on February 27, 2026. Actual impact on capital structure and acquisition pace will depend on shareholder approval, closing of the merger and final terms of any executed facility.

Presidio Announces Proposed $1 Billion Acquisition Financing Facility with Goldman Sachs
Acquisition Facility expected to accelerate asset acquisition strategy
Fort Worth, TX, Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Presidio Investment Holdings LLC (“Presidio” or the “Company”), a differentiated oil and gas operator focused on the acquisition and optimization of mature, producing oil and natural gas assets in the United States, and EQV Ventures Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: FTW) (“FTW”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by EQV Group, today announced that Presidio has mandated an affiliate of Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) to arrange up to $1.0 billion in potential acquisition financing for Presidio following the completion of its business combination.
Goldman Sachs Bank USA with one or more of its affiliates is expected to serve as sole lead arranger, structuring agent and syndication agent in up to $1.0 billion of potential acquisition financing (the “Facility”). The parties have reached commercial agreement on certain high-level terms for the Facility. The closing of the Facility remains subject to the negotiation and execution of terms and definitive transaction agreements, future acquisitions of producing properties, and is subject to acquisition diligence and funding and other relevant approvals, and customary closing conditions.
The Facility is expected to provide Presidio with significant capital flexibility to pursue acquisitions of producing oil and gas assets. The Facility is designed to support the aggregation of assets prior to issuing long-term investment grade asset-backed securities, which may be used to repay such Facility. Presidio intends to deploy the Facility to drive dividend growth and long-term shareholder returns by acquiring producing, cash-flowing assets and harvesting meaningful upside through Presidio’s strategy of operational optimization. Presidio’s business model drives value through the application of modern oilfield practices, proprietary technology including machine learning and AI, and strategic consolidation.
“Presidio pioneered the use of ABS to fund producing oil and gas assets at scale—paving the way for the billions of ABS energy issuances since then—and is now pleased about the opportunity to mandate Goldman Sachs to help us innovate further in the space. This new financing structure is intended to be used at the signing of future acquisitions, allowing us to demonstrate surety of funding to sellers, at an attractive cost of capital for Presidio. We believe this will enable us to capture more producing assets than we expected and enhance returns on equity,” said Will Ulrich, Co-Founder and co-CEO of Presidio. “Goldman Sachs brings deep experience across energy investing, commodity based structured capital solutions, and asset-backed financing. We are delighted to work with them to accelerate our growth.”
Chris Hammack, Co-Founder and co-CEO of Presidio, continued, “we have an incredible track record of creating value by acquiring and optimizing producing oil and gas assets. I am excited to implement both our existing optimization experience and new AI driven workflows to create shareholder value. This proposed financing facility has the potential to provide capital to enhance our scale, so we can create alpha on new acquisitions.”
Rationale for the Facility:
| ● | Working with world-class, industry leading bank experienced in securitizations and commodity-based capital solutions |
| ● | Expected to provide committed financing upon signing future acquisitions of producing properties allowing for seller confidence in closing with an attractive cost of capital for the Company |
| ● | Low-cost debt financing allows for future potential dividend increases from acquisitions |
| ● | Flexibility to optimize timing of future long-term investment grade Asset-Backed Security financing |
