Key Details

  • IPO price: $25.00 per share; total shares sold in offering: 23,575,000 (includes 3,075,000 overallotment).
  • Recapitalization issuances: 91,773,571 Class A shares to existing stockholders; 87,141,865 Class B shares to Opco interest holders. Maximum Class A shares issuable on Opco redemptions: 87,141,865.

Why It Matters

  • These filings confirm SOLV Energy’s transition to a public company: the completed IPO establishes new public float and recapitalizes prior holders, while corporate governance documents and the equity plan set the company’s public capital structure and compensation framework.
  • The $200M revolving credit facility gives the company committed liquidity through 2031 but is secured and includes customary covenants and fees; investors should note the interest margins and unused-fee schedule disclosed in the Credit Agreement.
  • The A&R Opco LLC Agreement includes a mechanism that could convert vested LLC interests into up to 87,141,865 additional Class A shares (or cash), which is a material outstanding redemption/convertibility feature affecting potential future share issuance.
