HOUSTON -- Oil States International has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire Piper Valve Systems. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Piper Valve Systems designs and manufactures high-pressure valves and manifold components for oil and gas industry projects located offshore, onshore and subsea.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, Piper is expected to generate approximately $34.0 million of revenues. Subject to customary post-closing adjustments, total transaction consideration was $48.0 million, funded from amounts available under Oil States' existing credit facility.
