Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously announced, Geokinetics Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Geokinetics") entered into a definitive purchase agreement
with Petroleum Geo-Services ASA ("PGS") under which Geokinetics will acquire the onshore seismic data acquisition and multi-client data library business of PGS ("PGS Onshore") in a cash
and stock transaction valued at approximately $210 million, on a cash free, debt free basis, which includes net working capital of $37.5 million. The final purchase price is subject to
certain customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2010 and is subject to normal closing conditions and regulatory approvals; there is
no financing condition.
Under
the purchase agreement, Geokinetics agreed to purchase seven corporations or other entities owned by PGS or its subsidiaries, and to acquire assets and assume liabilities from four
other subsidiaries of PGS. The entities and assets acquired represent substantially all of PGS Onshore.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, total revenues of PGS Onshore declined 32% from $208.1 million to $141.6 million primarily as a result of a challenging
market environment. During this period, the PGS Group experienced lower activity levels in North America, including Alaska and Canada, and North Africa and significantly lower multi-client library
sales, offset by higher activity in Mexico. Multi-client library sales, which are concentrated in the United States, declined 93% primarily as a result of continuing decreased capital expenditures by
U.S. clients due to difficult economic conditions and declining natural gas prices in the United States.
A
multi-year 3D seismic contract in Mexico was awarded to PGS Onshore by PEMEX in the third quarter of 2008. The surveys under the contract are expected to be
conducted into 2012 and the area to be surveyed is in excess of 2,000 square kilometers. The revenues from this contract contributed to the higher activity in Mexico for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
Total
revenues of PGS Onshore increased by 13% to $278.8 million in 2008 as compared to 2007, following a 14% decline in total revenues in 2007 to $245.7 million as
compared to total revenues of $263.8 million in 2006.
Revenues
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 increased primarily due to increased activity in Latin America and redeployment of transition zone operations in Alaska,
offset by reduced activity in North Africa. Multi-client library sales declined 15% in 2008 to $68.6 million from $81.2 million in 2007 as a result of decreased capital expenditures by
U.S. clients.
Revenues
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, declined primarily due to lower activity in Africa and adverse weather conditions in the United States. In 2007, multi-client
library sales increased 80% to $81.2 million from $45.2 million in 2006 as a result of significant client funding of new multi-client projects.
In
this Current Report on Form 8-K, Geokinetics incorporates by reference certain historical financial information of PGS Onshore, attached as
Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 hereto, and unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Geokinetics, attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of Geokinetics as of September 30, 2009, for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 includes the purchase of PGS Onshore and the related financing transactions, including the common stock issued to PGS, the concurrent offering of notes, the
preferred stock
restructuring,
the execution of the new senior secured credit facility and the common stock offering.
