On September 16, 2005, Rentech, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with RFC-Sand Creek Development, LLC (“RFC”) to purchase the remaining 50% of the membership interests in Sand Creek, LLC (“Sand Creek”) that the Company did not already own for a purchase price of $1.4 million (reported under Item 1.01 in the Company’s Form 8-K dated September 22, 2005). The Company successfully closed this transaction with RFC on October 7, 2005 and now owns 100% of the membership interests of Sand Creek.
Sand Creek’s principal asset is a 17 acre piece of property in Commerce City, Colorado which is the site of a 1,000 barrel per day methanol plant that has been inactive since the mid 1990’s. The Company plans to build and operate a Fischer-Tropsch coal-to-liquids Product Development Unit facility on the Commerce City property.
A copy of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K dated September 22, 2005 and incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.
