OCI N.V. (Euronext: OCI) (“OCI”) today announced that as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 3 July 2018 (the “Expiration Time”) 9,290,248 common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) in OCI Partners LP (NYSE: OCIP) (“OCIP” or the “Partnership”), including those Common Units delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery, were validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the tender offer (the “Offer”) by OCIP Holding II LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of OCI. OCI has made payment to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., which is acting as the Depositary in connection with the Offer, for the accepted Common Units.
Upon purchase of the tendered Common Units, OCI will own 86,064,387 Common Units, representing 98.93% of the outstanding OCIP Common Units. As OCI owns at least 90% of the outstanding OCIP Common Units, OCI intends to exercise the right, assigned to OCIP Holding II LLC by the general partner of OCIP, to purchase all of the remaining Common Units that were not tendered in the Offer and remain outstanding on 3 July 2018 (the “Buyout”). A notice of election to purchase such Common Units, pursuant to Section 15.1(b) of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership Agreement of OCIP, will be mailed to each unitholder of record who did not tender its Common Units in the Offer, and such holder will receive, for each Common Unit, $11.50 in cash, which represents the price paid by OCI for the Common Units in the Offer.
Upon the exercise of the Buyout, OCI will own all of the economic interests of the Partnership and will be entitled to all of the benefits resulting from those interests. In addition, on or around 16 July 2018, the Common Units will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or publicly traded.
