Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NYSE: MMLP) announced the closing of two separate purchase agreements with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Martin Resource Management Corp., the owner of Martin Midstream GP LLC.
In the first transaction, MMLP purchased certain specialty lubricant product packaging assets from Cross Oil Refining & Marketing Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent. Total consideration for the packaging assets consisted of $121.8 million in cash, including working capital of approximately $36.8 million at closing, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase of the packaging assets was funded using availability under the partnership's existing credit facility.
In the second transaction, the partnership purchased all of the remaining Class A equity interests in Redbird Gas Storage LLC for $150.0 million in cash. Redbird was formed by the partnership and MRMC in 2011 to invest in Cardinal Gas Storage Partners. Cardinal is a joint venture between Redbird and Energy Capital Partners that is focused on the development, construction, operation and management of natural gas storage facilities across North America. Prior to closing, MMLP owned both a 10.7% Class A and a 100% Class B interest in Redbird. Redbird is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMLP, which effectively owns a 38.1% fully diluted membership interest in Cardinal. The purchase of the remaining Class A equity interests in Redbird was also funded using availability under the Partnership's existing credit facility.
