Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. is seeking shareholder approval for a stock-for-stock business combination with Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc., documented in a Form S-4/A proxy statement/prospectus. Before closing, Helix will convert from a Minnesota to a Delaware corporation and be renamed Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc.; its common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the new ticker HOS.
In the first merger, each share of Hornbeck common stock will be exchanged for 10.27167 shares of Converted Helix Common Stock. Immediately afterward, Hornbeck will merge into a Helix subsidiary, leaving the combined company as a single Delaware entity. Existing Helix shareholders are expected to own about 65% and Hornbeck securityholders about 35% of the issued and outstanding common stock at closing, and roughly 45%/55% on a fully diluted, as-converted basis including options and Jones Act Warrants.
The transaction includes detailed treatment of Hornbeck options, RSUs, Creditor Warrants and Jones Act Warrants, and Helix equity awards, all largely converting into or settling in shares of the combined company. The deal is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. holders and will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition under ASC 805, with Hornbeck as the accounting acquirer. A Helix special meeting will vote on multiple required merger proposals (share issuance, authorized share increase, second merger, plan of conversion, Jones Act and D&O citizenship provisions) and several governance and compensation-related optional proposals.
