7 月 31 日，US Silica以 18.5 亿美元现金被阿波罗全球管理公司 收购，正式成为一家私营公司。

该公司将不再在纽约证券交易所交易，但将继续以 US Silica 的名称和品牌在首席执行官 Bryan Shinn 领导的现任管理下运营。

阿波罗基金的一家附属公司收购了 US Silica 股票的所有流通股。股东有权以每股 15.50 美元的价格收购 US Silica 的普通股。每股 15.50 美元的收购价比 US Silica 4 月 25 日（即 4 月 26 日宣布交易前的最后一个完整交易日）的收盘价 13.06 美元高出 18.7 %。

辛恩表示：“与阿波罗基金完成的这笔交易开启了美国二氧化硅历史上激动人心的新篇章。”

“我们能够凭借实力迈出这一步，证明了公司良好的基础和员工的奉献精神。我们期待抓住眼前的增长机遇，”他说。

Apollo 合伙人 Gareth Turner 表示，“US Silica 拥有高质量的储备基础和创新文化，能够提供以绩效为导向的客户解决方案，我们相信，凭借我们丰富的行业专业知识，US Silica 是一个强大的平台，我们可以在此基础上取得未来的成功。”

Piper Sandler & Co. 担任 US Silica 的财务顾问，Morrison & Foerster LLP 担任法律顾问。

Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz 担任 Apollo Funds 的法律顾问，法国巴黎银行证券公司和巴克莱银行担任 Apollo Funds 的财务顾问。

U.S. Silica is officially a private company after closing a $1.85 billion cash deal to be acquired by Apollo Global Management on July 31.

The company, which will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange, will continue to operate under the U.S. Silica name and brand and under current management led by CEO Bryan Shinn.

An affiliate of Apollo funds acquired all of the outstanding shares of U.S. Silica stock. Shareholders are entitled to receive $15.50 per share in cash for each share of U.S. Silica common stock owned. The per-share purchase price of $15.50 represents an 18.7% premium to U.S. Silica's closing share price of $13.06 on April 25, the last full trading day before the transaction was announced on April 26.

“The closing of this transaction with Apollo Funds begins an exciting new chapter in the storied history of U.S. Silica,” Shinn said.

“Our ability to take this step from a position of strength is a testament to the company's excellent foundation and the dedication of our employees. We look forward to executing on the growth opportunities in front of us," he said.

Gareth Turner, partner at Apollo, said, the U.S. Silica’s “high-quality reserve base and culture of innovation to provide performance-driven customer solutions, U.S. Silica is a strong platform which we believe we can build on for future success, leveraging our significant industry expertise."
