Based on the above, STX propose to acquire the $37M per annum revenue from Walyering at around fair value and will acquire the remining TPD Perth Basin assets for free.
To facilitate the transaction, TPD will spend approx. $10M in cash and may incur up to $6M in new debt from STX to facilitate the SOA.
