Common Unit Purchase Agreement
On August 22, 2014, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) announced that it had issued common units of the Partnership pursuant to a Common Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Common Unit Purchase Agreement”) dated August 20, 2014 with Martin Product Sales LLC (“MPS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Resource Management Corporation (“MRMC”), under which MPS invested $45.0 million in cash in the Partnership in exchange for 1,171,265 common units (the “Investment”). In connection with the Investment, the Partnership’s general partner, Martin Midstream GP LLC (the “General Partner”), contributed capital to the Partnership of $0.9 million in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. The pricing of $38.42 per common unit is based on the 10-day weighted average price of the Partnership’s common units for the ten trading days ending August 8, 2014.
Proceeds from the Investment were used by the Partnership to repay a portion of its indebtedness under its revolving credit facility. The foregoing description of the Common Unit Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Common Unit Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Relationships
MRMC now owns indirectly approximately 19.7% of the outstanding limited partnership common units, and it controls the Partnership's General Partner, by virtue of its 51.0% voting interest in MMGP Holdings, LLC (“MMGP Holdings”), the sole member of the Partnership's General Partner. Certain affiliated investment funds managed by Alinda Capital Partners own 49.0% of the voting interest (50.0% of the economic interest) of MMGP Holdings. The Partnership's General Partner owns a 2.0% general partnership interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights. MPS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MRMC. As such, certain individuals, including officers and directors of MRMC, serve as officers and/or directors of the Partnership’s general partner and of MPS.
