Over the 1 month after I Know First issued its forecast on March 25, 2018, Legacy Reserves’s stock price jumped from $4.51 to $5.81 per share, outperforming the market by about 18%. What happened that drove the growth? The reason lies in the company’s Corporate Transition.
Legacy Reserves announcement that it would transition from an MLP to a C-Corp led the company to more than 11% rise on March 26, 2018. To enable the move, investors will receive one share of New Legacy’s common stock for each unit currently owned. In addition to that, the company will also convert its outstanding preferred shares into common stock. These moves will reduce complexity and enable the company to move forward with a simplified corporate structure. “As a result of the Transaction, Legacy will become a newly-traded C-Corp stock with a less complicated balance sheet and an enhanced opportunity to raise capital and grow the business”, Said Mr. Paul T. Horne, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy’s general partner, commented.
I Believe that the Corporate Transition is the main reason for the company’s growth during the 1-month time period.
