Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BERY#NYSE">BERY</a>) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. On Monday, the company disclosed an agreement to sell its Specialty Tapes business to Nautic Partners, LLC, for around $540 million, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42179476/berry-global-announces-agreement-to-sell-specialty-tapes-business-to-nautic-partners" rel="noreferrer noopener">subject to closing adjustments</a>.
The divestment aligns with its strategy of focusing on higher-growth, consumer-oriented markets. The company plans to use proceeds from the sale to reduce debt.
The sale is expected to close in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Including the cash received from its recent HHNF spin-off and the Tapes sale, Berry's pro forma net debt as of September 30, 2024, is expected to be approximately $5.9 billion, representing a 3.5x LTM net leverage ratio.
Berry CEO, Kevin Kwilinski, said, &#8220;Over the past year, Berry has undergone a significant transformation, completing the spin-off of our HHNF business, enhancing our product mix and optimizing our portfolio. The sale of Tapes further supports these efforts and the continued focus on our high-growth consumer portfolio.&#8221;
This month, Berry Global agreed to merge&nbsp;with Amcor plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMCR#NYSE">AMCR</a>) in an all-stock transaction, with the deal valuing Berry&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/11/42069248/amcor-and-berry-seal-the-deal-73-59-per-share-merger-to-forge-packaging-powerhouse" rel="noreferrer noopener">stock at $73.59 per share</a>.
The companies anticipate a $650 million benefit from synergies by the end of year three, including $530 million in annual pre-tax cost savings, $60 million in financial savings, and $60 million from growth synergies.
Berry Global&nbsp;noted the sale of the Tapes business further reinforces the strategic rationale for the combination and has no material impact on the financial profile of the combined entity.
Price Action: BERY shares are down 1.47% at $70.50 at the last check Tuesday.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
Joshua Robinson, co-founder of Darwin Financial Company, announced a $55-million financing deal with INYOAG LLC. The funds will help develop a solar-powered mine in Inyo County, California where there are proven reserves of silver, lead, zinc, tungsten, and copper. Here&#8217;s our conversation with Robinson:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: What is the deal structure between Darwin Financial and base metals miner INYOAG? </h4>
Robinson: The deal structure is a $55M project financing package split into three components: $17.5 million and $12.5 million in six-year notes tied to sulfide and oxide production respectively, plus a $20-million conditional equity commitment that only triggers if the mine hits $10 million in monthly revenue. We get 17% of gross revenues from both production tracks, structured through secure lockbox arrangements. It&#8217;s not a straight equity investment, we specifically designed it this way to provide further upside exposure.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Are you looking for additional investors/joint venture partners? </h4>
Yes, we&#8217;ve deliberately structured this to create multiple layers of upside potential, which is pretty unique in the mining space. We&#8217;ve created a hybrid model that offers both near-term cash flow from production and significant expansion potential. We&#8217;re already seeing interest from established mining players, but we&#8217;re particularly excited about bringing new investors into the space who understand the strategic value of critical minerals.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What are the downsides to depending on foreign sources of critical minerals?</h4>
China&#8217;s recent actions really highlight the urgency here. They&#8217;ve already implemented export controls on germanium and gallium, and just added antimony to that list. This isn&#8217;t theoretical anymore, it&#8217;s actively happening. We need to build regional resilience in our supply chains, particularly for these minerals that are crucial for defense and technology. The Darwin Mine gives us a unique opportunity to establish a domestic source for multiple critical minerals in a single asset, which is rare to find.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Will the mine be powered by solar? </h4>
The 100MW facility wouldn&#8217;t just power the mine. It would generate significant excess clean energy that we can sell back to the grid. What&#8217;s particularly interesting is that we can develop utility-scale energy storage systems using minerals we&#8217;re already producing. It creates a virtuous cycle where our mining operations directly support clean energy deployment
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">What are your 2025 goals?</h4>
For 2025, our key goals are reaching 300 tons per day on sulfide production within six months and 200 tons per day on oxide within nine months of funding. That puts us at $ 10 million in monthly revenue, which then triggers the deeper mine development program.
