Denver, Colorado—TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (NYSE:TLP) today announced financial results for the three months and year ended June 30, 2005.
The following developments and selected financial information are extracted from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005 which was filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 2005, we entered into a new two-year terminaling services agreement with a marketer of residual fuel oil that is expected to generate approximately $1.3 million in annual revenues.
On May 9, 2005, we entered into a $75 million senior secured credit facility that matures on May 9, 2010.
On May 27, 2005, we closed on the sale of 3,350,000 common units representing limited partnership interests in an initial public offering at a price of $21.40 per common unit, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $63.0 million, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $8.7 million.
On May 27, 2005, we closed on the sale of 450,000 subordinated units representing limited partnership interests in a private placement transaction with an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Capital Group, Inc., resulting in proceeds of approximately $7.9 million.
On June 3, 2005, we closed on the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option to acquire an additional 502,500 common units at the initial public offering price of $21.40 per unit, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.0 million, after underwriting discounts and offering expenses of approximately $0.8 million. We repurchased 502,500 common units from Coastal Fuels Marketing, Inc., a subsidiary of TransMontaigne Inc., at $20.01 per unit to satisfy the over-allotment option.
On July 20, 2005, we announced the declaration of a distribution of $0.15 per unit payable on August 9, 2005 to the unitholders of record on July 29, 2005. That distribution represents the pro rata portion of our minimum quarterly cash distribution of $0.40 per unit for the period from May 27, 2005 through June 30, 2005.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused severe damage along the United States Gulf Coast and into the southeastern United States. We currently are not aware of any significant long-term damage to our facilities as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
