- Financing summary: The July 2017 Odessa asset purchase was announced at $350 million plus a spark-spread-based earn-out and was to be funded with cash on hand. The August 2017 closing filing reports approximately $355 million of aggregate purchase consideration plus a five-year earn-out; the purchase price was funded by cash on hand, not disclosed project financing. Separately, the April 2016 purchase by Luminant of La Frontera’s Lamar and Forney portfolio—not Odessa-Ector—involved approximately $1.313 billion of aggregate consideration, including repayment of approximately $950 million of existing project-financing debt and $1.1 billion of cash-on-hand/additional borrowings; that portfolio transaction should not be treated as Odessa-Ector sale consideration or project financing. — Vistra Corp.
