Allied Waste Industries Overview
About Allied Waste Industries
Allied Waste Industries was an American solid waste management company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It provided collection, transfer, recycling and landfill disposal services to residential, commercial and industrial customers and municipalities, operating landfills, transfer stations and recycling facilities across dozens of states and Puerto Rico. Revenue came from collection contracts, landfill tipping fees and the sale of recyclables. The company grew rapidly through acquisitions, most importantly the North American solid waste business of Laidlaw in 1996 and Browning-Ferris Industries in 1999, which made it the second-largest non-hazardous solid waste company in the United States with annual revenues of over $5 billion. Apollo and Blackstone were large shareholders from 1997. Allied merged with Republic Services in 2008 and the combined company took the Republic name.

Allied Waste Industries Funding History
Allied Waste Industries has raised 1 funding round, plus 1 secondary share sale.
| Date | Stage | Investors | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 1999 | Strategic investment | Apollo Global Management (lead); Blackstone (lead) | - | Allied Waste Industries agreed in March 1999 to acquire Browning-Ferris Industries, the second-largest U.S. waste company, for $45 per share in cash, and financed part of the purchase with $1 billion of senior convertible preferred stock bought by an investor group led by Apollo Management IV and Blackstone Capital Partners III. Other purchasers of the preferred included DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II and Greenwich Street Capital Partners, and the preferred paid a 6.5% dividend and was convertible into Allied Waste common stock at $18 per share. Apollo and Blackstone funds had already been Allied's largest shareholders since 1997, when they bought the stake Laidlaw received in Allied's 1996 purchase of Laidlaw's North American solid waste business, and they held board seats. The BFI acquisition closed on August 2, 1999, at a total cost including assumed and refinanced debt of approximately $9.4 billion. After the purchase Allied became the second largest non-hazardous solid waste management company in the United States behind Waste Management, with annual revenues of over $5 billion and assets of nearly $14 billion. Allied Waste, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, provided collection, transfer, recycling and landfill disposal services to residential, commercial and municipal customers, earning revenue from collection contracts and disposal fees. The preferred was exchanged for common stock in 2003, the sponsors later sold down their holdings, and Allied merged with Republic Services in 2008. |
| Apr 1997 | Secondary | Blackstone; Apollo Global Management | $750M | Funds managed by Apollo and Blackstone agreed in April 1997 to buy a combined 26,376,765 shares, or about 34.4%, of Allied Waste Industries from its two largest shareholders. Under a stock purchase agreement dated April 14, 1997, Apollo Investment Fund III, Apollo Overseas Partners III and Apollo (U.K.) Partners III, together with Blackstone Capital Partners II Merchant Banking Fund and two related Blackstone partnerships, agreed to acquire 11,776,765 shares from TPG Partners and TPG Parallel I for an aggregate purchase price of $111.9 million. Under a securities purchase agreement dated April 21, 1997, the same purchasers agreed to buy 14,600,000 shares from Laidlaw, Inc. for $146.0 million, while Allied retired Laidlaw's warrants and certain subsidiary debt. The two blocks were split between the Apollo and Blackstone groups, which funded their purchases with capital contributions from their investors, and TPG and Laidlaw were to hand over the resignations of their board representatives at closing. The purchasers signed shareholder and investment agreements with Allied that included standstill restrictions and board nomination rights. Laidlaw had received its Allied stake when it sold its North American solid waste business to Allied in December 1996. Allied Waste, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, provided non-hazardous solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and landfill disposal services to residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers. Apollo and Blackstone later backed Allied's 1999 acquisition of Browning-Ferris Industries with $1 billion of preferred stock. |
