Use of Proceeds
We expect the net proceeds of this offering to be approximately $494 million after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities, a portion of which will have been incurred to fund the cash requirements of the PNGS Acquisition (which will include repayment of all of PNGS’s debt). Amounts repaid under our credit facilities may be reborrowed for general partnership purposes, including providing partial funding for the potential redemption of our outstanding 7.13% senior notes due 2014.
Pro Forma Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
Giving effect to our public offering of $500 million of senior notes in July 2009 and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, the repayment of $175 million of 4.75% senior notes upon maturity in August 2009 and this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, as of the beginning of each pro forma period presented, our ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been as follows:
Pro Forma | ||||
Year ended | Six months ended | |||
December 31, 2008 | June 30, 2009 | |||
Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges(1) | 2.48x | 3.20x |
(1) | Includes interest costs attributable to borrowings for inventory stored in a contango market of $15 million for the pro forma year ended December 31, 2008 and $2 million for the pro forma six months ended June 30, 2009. |
Revised Capitalization Disclosure
In the “As Adjusted for this Offering” column of the capitalization table on page S-12 of the preliminary prospectus supplement, Cash and cash equivalents is $7 million, Hedged inventory facility is $436 million, Working capital borrowings is $3 million, Other is $2 million, Total short-term debt is $441 million, Long-term debt under credit facilities and other is $11 million, 7.13% Senior notes due 2014 is $250 million, Senior Notes offered hereby is $500 million, Unamortized premium/(discount), net is $(9) million, Total long-term debt is $4,402 million and Total capitalization is $8,200 million. Amounts repaid under our credit facilities may be reborrowed for general partnership purposes, including providing partial funding for the potential redemption of our outstanding 7.13% senior notes due 2014.
As of June 30, 2009, on a pro forma basis as described under “Capitalization,” and as further adjusted to give effect to this offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under “Use of proceeds,” the Notes and the guarantees would have been effectively subordinated to $0.4 billion of short-term secured indebtedness.
