GENESIS ENERGY, L.P. PRICES PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON UNITS
Houston - December 4, 2007 - Genesis Energy, L.P. (AMEX:GEL) announced today that it has priced its offering of 8,000,000 common units at a price to the public of $22.00 per unit, representing a 1,000,000 unit increase above the original planned offering of 7,000,000 common units. In connection with the public offering, the Partnership’s general partner will purchase 638,898 common units at the same price, less the underwriting commission. The Partnership has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 1,200,000 common units to satisfy any over-allotments.
UBS Investment Bank and Wachovia Securities acted as joint book-running managers of the offering and Goldman Sachs & Co., RBC Capital Markets Corporation, Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Sanders Morris Harris acted as co-managing underwriters.
Excluding the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Partnership will receive net cash proceeds from the offering (after payment of underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses), the concurrent offering to the Partnership’s general partner and the proportionate capital contribution by the Partnership’s general partner of $185.3 million. Genesis will use the net proceeds from this offering for general partnership purposes, which may include, among other things, temporarily repaying a portion of the indebtedness under its credit facility and, ultimately, funding a portion of its future growth expenditures.
