Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On March 14, 2014, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), Martin Midstream Finance Corp. (“FinCo” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”) and certain subsidiary guarantors (the “Guarantors”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, acting as representative (the “Representative”) of a group of initial purchasers named therein (the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Initial purchasers agreed to purchase $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7.250% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “Additional Notes”). The Additional Notes will be issued under the same indenture as the $250.0 million of the Issuers’ 7.250% senior notes due 2021 (the “Existing Notes”) that were issued on February 11, 2013. The Additional Notes are being issued under the same indenture as the Existing Notes and are part of the same series and will have identical terms, although the Additional Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer and will bear a different CUSIP number than the Existing Notes until they are exchanged for registered notes.
The Additional Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, the Additional Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Issuers offered and will sell the Additional Notes only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Issuers and the Guarantors, on one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Issuers also agreed not to issue certain debt securities for a period of 60 days after March 14, 2014 without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. In addition, the Purchase Agreement contemplates the execution of a registration rights agreement relating to the Additional Notes.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Partnership will use the net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility that it will borrow to pay the redemption price of approximately $182.8 million on its 8.875% notes due 2018 that have been called for redemption.
