Merger Arbitrage Mondays – Investor Group Led By Apollo Acquires Atlas Air

  • August 8, 2022

Merger activity increased last week with nine new deals announced and two deals completed. Four out of the nine deals announced last week were potential deals in the works.

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWW)

Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Purchase, New York, Atlas Air Worldwide operates a fleet of over 100 all-Boeing planes. The company counts all three of the world’s largest logistics companies FedEx, UPS and DHL among its customers and extends its services to the military. Atlas has been training the pilots and engineers that operate Air Force One since October 2007. Over the years, the company signed additional agreements with Amazon that give Amazon the ability to acquire 39.9% of the company. A stockholders agreement that Atlas has with Amazon caps Amazon’s ability to vote in its discretion at 14.9%.

Atlas Air

We wrote in detail about Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings in our Special Situations Newsletter: March 2022, after the company announced a $200 million share buyback in February 2022, that amounted to nearly 9% of the company’s market cap. We wrote the following in the newsletter,

I find companies where the insiders are buying stock with their own money even as the company is buying back its own shares attractive and we track these kinds of companies in our Double Dipper screen for premium members. In the case of Atlas Air Worldwide, we are not seeing insider buying but we are seeing insiders exercise options and not sell all shares beyond the portion required to satisfy tax withholding. Some of these insiders were selling shares when the stock had eclipsed $90 and stopped selling after the recent pullback in the stock.

Rising input costs on account of rising oil prices caused us to exit the position in the model portfolio. We added Atlas Air as a potential deal in the works on August 1, 2022, when The Wall Street Journal reported that a group led by Apollo Global Management (APOwas in advanced talks to buy the airfreight company. Atlas Air’s price after this announcement was $84.99.

The potential deal materialized three days later on August 4, 2022, when Atlas Air entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by the investor group led by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo together with investment affiliates of J.F. Lehman & Company and Hill City Capital in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise valuation of approximately $5.2 billion.

iRobot (IRBT)

iRobot Corporation was founded in 1990 by three members of MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab, who designed robots for space exploration and military defense. The company, headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, designs and builds consumer robots. Roomba, an automated vacuum cleaning robot is one of iRobot’s leading innovations.

iRobot's Roomba

On August 5, 2022, Amazon entered into a definitive merger agreement under which it will acquire iRobot for $61 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.7 billion, including iRobot’s net debt. The spread on the deal is small (2.45%) despite Lina Khan’s increased scrutiny of large tech companies. We wrote the following in a SeekingAlpha article titled ‘The FTC Throws A Wrench Into The Meta Machine

When we report on public company M&A every Monday in our Merger Arbitrage Mondays series of articles, one of the things that I look into is the level of regulatory risk an announced merger or acquisition is likely to run into. Regulatory risk can come from one of several governmental agencies including the FTC, DOJ, FCC, OCC, CFIUS, etc. depending on the industry and location of the company. Over the last decade, we have seen several deals fail because of regulatory issues and some of the larger ones that come to mind include Baker Hughes/Halliburton, Allergan/Pfizer, Office Depot/Staples, Cigna/Anthem and Pacific Biosciences/Illumina.

This is Amazon’s second deal in just over two weeks. The company is already in the process of closing its deal with 1Life Healthcare (ONEM), a deal we wrote about in detail in our August 2022 special situations newsletter. Given Amazon’s strength in consumer devices through its Echo line of product and Ring doorbells/cameras, I would expect increased regulatory scrutiny of the deal and am surprised by the small spread on the deal.

You can find all the active deals listed below in our Merger Arbitrage Tool (MAT) that automatically updates itself during market hours.
