Sisecam Resources LP Announces Anticipated Closing Date of Merger, Intention to Delist Its Common Units and Cash Distribution

By: via Business Wire

Sisecam Resources LP (the “Partnership”) (NYSE: SIRE) announced today that it notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of the anticipated closing date of the previously-announced merger transaction (“Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 2023 (“Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Sisecam Chemicals Wyoming LLC (“Purchaser”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sisecam Chemicals Resources LLC (“Parent”) will acquire all of the outstanding common units of the Partnership not already owned by Parent and its affiliates. The Partnership anticipates that the Merger will close on or about May 26, 2023 or such later date that the Partnership’s units cease trading on the NYSE (“Closing Date”).

Upon the closing of the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, unitholders will be entitled to receive the merger consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Following completion of the Merger, the Partnership will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser and the general partner of the Partnership, and the common units of the Partnership will cease to be listed on the NYSE and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership unanimously approved a distribution adjusted pro rata for the quarter of $0.50 per unit payable on the Closing Date to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 25, 2023 or, if later, such date that immediately precedes the Closing Date. Unitholders of record must hold their units through the Closing Date to receive the pro-rated quarterly distribution.
