Under the terms of the agreement, the total value of the transaction is approximately $295M, consisting of $180M for all of the voting and nonvoting equity interests in Penn Maritime Inc. and Maritime Investments and approximately $115M for the retirement of Penn's debt. The $180M consideration paid to Penn equity holders will include a combination of cash of approximately $152M and 500,000 shares of Kirby common stock. | |
