Firm: Baker McKenzie (Sundance Energy Australia Limited).

Deal: Bakers last week announced it had advised Sundance on its capital raising of new equity comprised of $257 million of commitments that have been received for two tranche placements, as well as a fully underwritten entitlement offer to raise $74 million.

Value: $331 million.

Area: Capital markets.

Key players: The transaction team was co-led by partners Steven Glanz and Antony Rumboll, who were both assisted by partner Andrew Reilly and associates Paul Anderson, Ivo Basoski and Emily Hunter.

Deal significance: Since listing on the ASX in 2005, Sundance has been focused on the identification, appraisal, development and production of “large, repeatable resource plays in the US”, according to Bakers.

The funds were raised, predominantly, to acquire Eagle Ford Shale properties from a consortium managed by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.

“We were delighted to act for Sundance Energy Australia on an equity raising that will increase its capitalisation several times over,” Mr Glanz said.
