Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 14, 2016, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with NuStar Logistics, L.P. (“NuStar”) to sell certain of its terminalling assets located in Corpus Christi, Texas for gross consideration of $107.0 million plus the reimbursement of certain capital expenditures and prepaid items (the “Transaction”.) Pursuant to the Agreement, the Partnership is selling its 900,000 barrel crude oil storage terminal known as the Corpus Christi Crude Terminal (or CCCT), its refined product barge terminal, certain pipelines and related easements as well as dockage and trans-loading assets (collectively known as the “Assets”) to NuStar. The Partnership expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $93.0 million after transaction fees and expenses, in addition to certain cash payments previously received by the Partnership in conjunction with its mandated relocation of certain dockage assets. The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust approval. The Partnership expects to close the Transaction prior to year-end 2016.
The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the Partnership and NuStar. The Agreement also contains indemnification obligations of both the Partnership and NuStar.
The preceding summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any discrepancy between the preceding summary and the text of the Agreement, the text of the Agreement shall control.
The Agreement has been included to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide factual information about the Partnership or NuStar and should not be relied on by any other person or entity for any purposes. The Agreement contains representations and warranties that each of the parties have made to each other as of specific dates and to evidence their agreement on various issues. The assertions and other statements or disclosures embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between such parties and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations or other factors agreed to by each such party in connection with the negotiated terms, which qualifications and limitations are not necessarily reflected in the Agreement. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between each party rather than establishing matters as fact. Based on the foregoing, you should not rely on the representations, warranties and disclosures included in the Agreement as statements of factual information.
