SLB Acquisition Holdings, LLC is a consortium based in St.Louis, Missouri. It was founded in 2012 by American businessman Thomas H. Stillman and 15 local investors including the former US UN ambassador and senator John C. Danforth.

History

On May 10, 2012 , it became clear that SLB Acquisition Holdings, LLC has acquired St. Louis Blues, the Peoria Rivermen, the lease and daily care of Scottrade Center, as well as a majority stake in Peabody Opera House from SCP Worldwide for a purchase price of $ 130 million.[1]

"We are honored and humbled to take ownership of the St. Louis Blues. Our new ownership group is 100 percent local, and we are 100 percent committed to the Blues and to St. Louis. We see the Blues as an important civic institution, and we know what the Blue Note means to this city and to the best fans in the NHL." - Majority Owner and Chairman Thomas H Stillman
