INVESTOR ALERT: Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Flex Ltd. — FLEX

RADNOR, PA / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2018 / The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP alerts Flex Ltd. (NASDAQ: FLEX) (“Flex”) investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of Flex Ordinary Shares between January 26, 2017 and April 26, 2018, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

Investors who purchased Flex securities during the Class Period may, no later than July 9, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. For additional information or to learn how to participate in this action please visit https://www.ktmc.com/new-cases/flex-ltd#join.

According to the complaint, Flex purportedly provides design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain services and solutions.

The Class Period commences on February 23, 2017, when Flex published a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

According to the complaint, on April 26, 2018, Flex issued a press release disclosing that the company’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent outside counsel, was investigating allegations by an employee that the company improperly accounted for obligations in a customer contract and certain related reserves.

Following this news, Flex’s share price fell $3.61 per share, or more than 21%, on high trading volume, to close at $13.03 per share on April 27, 2018.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants failed to disclose: (1) that the company’s internal controls over financial reporting were materially weak and deficient; (2) that the company had improperly accounted for obligations in a customer contract and certain related reserves; and, (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, the company’s financial statements and the defendants’ statements about Flex’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Investors who wish to discuss this action and their legal options are encouraged to contact Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (James Maro, Jr., or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (888) 299-7706 or at info@ktmc.com.

Flex investors may, no later than July 9, 2018, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class in the action. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check prosecutes class actions in state and federal courts throughout the country. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check is a driving force behind corporate governance reform, and has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of institutional and individual investors from the United States and around the world.

www.active-investors.com/registration-sg/?symbol=KRP

Management Comments

Commenting on acquiring the mineral and royalty interests from Haymaker, Bob Ravnaas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kimbell, said:
“Through this combination of highly complementary minerals portfolios, Kimbell is uniquely positioned to be a major participant in the best-performing, highest-growth oil and gas basins in the Lower 48.”

Karl Brensike, CEO of Haymaker, added:

“We believe this acquisition will kick off a new phase of consolidation across the sector, as private equity looks to divest their mineral interests to longer-term holders. Kimbell’s diversified asset base and access to capital through their proposed tax structure will position them to continue to make accretive acquisitions over the coming years.”

Details of the Transaction

The acquisition is a layered transaction wherein Kimbell has agreed to acquire certain subsidiaries of both Haymaker Resources, LP (owned by KKR & Co. L.P. and Haymaker management) and Haymaker Minerals and Royalties LLC (owned by Haymaker management and other investors). As part of this transaction, Kimbell will acquire the mineral and royalty interests held by Haymaker. The entire transaction is valued at $404 million, of which the mineral and royalty interests are valued at approximately $242 million. Kimbell will pay approximately $210 million in cash and 10 million common units of Kimbell. The Kimbell units are valued at approximately $194 million based on Kimbell’s unit price of $19.40 at the time of closing on May 25, 2018. The Boards of Directors of both Kimbell and Haymaker have approved the transaction. The deal is effective from April 01, 2018, and is expected to close in Q3 2018, subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

At the close of the acquisition, Haymaker’s private equity sponsors, KKR & Co. L.P., Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., and Haymaker management will jointly own approximately 37% stake in Kimbell.

The combined Company will be managed by Kimbell’s management team under the leadership of Bob Ravnaas, the current CEO of Kimbell, on completion of the deal.

Financing for the Acquisition

Kimbell plans to finance the cash portion of the deal using a mix of equity sale plus fresh debt. Accordingly, Kimbell has partnered with an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“Apollo”) to raise $110 million via a private placement of 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units. The highlight of these preferred units is that they will offer a 7% cash distribution which will be payable quarterly in arrears. The Company can redeem the Series A Preferred Units at any time for cash. Once the transaction completes two years, Apollo has the option of converting some or all of the Series A Preferred Units if the unit price is at a 30% premium to its offer price. These units will have voting rights once they are converted to common units of Kimbell.

The Company has also finalized a fully-underwritten $200 million revolving credit facility with Frost Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, and Credit Suisse AG. The Company plans to use $114 million from this revolving credit facility to finance the cash portion of the deal. Once the transaction is completed, the Company will have approximately $64 million as credit available under the new revolving credit facility, which will help the Company’s overall liquidity position.

Benefits of the Deal

Once the acquisition is completed, the Company will have a total of 11.1 million gross acre position across 73 active rigs on its properties. This represents 7% of total active rigs in the US and 95% of all rigs in the Lower 48 are located in counties where Kimbell will hold mineral interest positions. The deal allows Kimbell to strengthen its position in the Permian Basin with the addition of mineral interests in the Midland Basin.

The deal is expected to be accretive to the Company’s distributable cash flows immediately. The deal is expected to result in a 12% increase in Kimbell’s free cash flow on a pro-forma basis in Q1 2018. The deal is also expected to increase production by over 50% on a per unit basis and result in general and administrative (G&A) expenses savings of 50% per Boe on a run-rate basis.

The acquisition is highly beneficial to Kimbell and will increase the Company’s net royalty acres per unit by 10% on a pro-forma basis.

Proposal to Become a Taxable Entity

The Company has proposed to change its tax status to that of a taxable entity. The change in tax status will allow the Company to attract large domestic and international investors, which will increase its liquidity and support its growth strategy. KKR, Kayne, Haymaker management, and Apollo who constitute a majority of unitholders in the Company required to approve the change in tax status have agreed to vote in favor of the change. The Board of Directors at Kimbell will finalize the actual tax structure and file the details with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also distribute the information to its other unitholders.
