AltaGas Decides to Retain 10% Stake in MVP as Long-Term Investment

AltaGas is a Canada-based corporation that owns and operates both midstream (pipeline) and utilities businesses. AltaGas is a minority owner of the 303-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), which stretches from Wetzel County, West Virginia, to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. AltaGas issued a press release yesterday stating that it has decided to continue owning its minority stake in MVP (a 10% ownership stake) and, instead of selling its stake to raise capital, will issue new common stock to raise $400 million. The company will not only retain its ownership stake in the original MVP, but also its stake in expanding MVP by another 600 MMcf/d (called MVP Boost) and in extending MVP into North Carolina (called MVP Southgate).
