Monday December 15, 2008 Navivest

In return, Hexion will receive a billion dollars in total, for breakup fees, as well as the settlement of legal claims which Huntsman had filed against Apollo, after Apollo tried to back out of the deal as the credit crisis picked up steam.

Apollo will pay Huntsman a $325 million dollar break-up fee, $425 million to settle the legal claims and affiliates of Apollo Management will also pay Huntsman $250 million and in return, will receive 10-year convertible notes.

The deal was first announced back in July

But make no mistake about it, while leverage may not be part of the name any more, it remains a big part of every private equity deal.

LBO firms, or “franchises”, as Henry Kravis, co-founder of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR), likes to call his shop, acquire publicly traded operating companies. Then they streamline management and operations to increase profitability and hope to cash out
