Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, on January 18, 2023,
Genesis Energy, L.P. ("Genesis"), Genesis Energy Finance Corporation (together
with Genesis, the "Issuers") and certain subsidiary guarantors of Genesis
entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the group of underwriters named in
the Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the Issuers agreed to sell
$500 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes due
2030 (the "Notes"), guaranteed by certain subsidiary guarantors of Genesis
(the "Guarantees" and, together with the Notes, the "Securities"). Genesis
intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the
purchase price and accrued and unpaid interest for all of its 5.625% senior
unsecured notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes") validly tendered and accepted for
payment in its concurrent cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") and the
redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2024 Notes that remain
outstanding after the Tender Offer, and the remainder for general partnership
purposes, including repaying the borrowings outstanding under its credit
facility. The offering closed on January 25, 2023.
The terms of the Securities are governed by an Indenture (the "Base Indenture")
among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and the Trustee (as
defined below), dated as of May 21, 2015, as supplemented by the Eighteenth
Supplemental Indenture thereto (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with
the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), dated as of January 25, 2023, among the
Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and Regions Bank, as trustee
(together with, as to any time prior to September 30, 2020, U.S. Bank National
Association, as predecessor trustee, each, in such capacity, the "Trustee"). The
Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and rank equal in right of
payment with all of Genesis' other existing and future senior unsecured
indebtedness, including the 2024 Notes, $534.8 million aggregate principal
amount of the Issuers' 6.500% senior notes due 2025, $339.3 million aggregate
principal amount of the Issuers' 6.250% senior notes due 2026, $981.2 million
aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 8.000% senior notes due 2027, and
$679.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers' 7.750% senior notes
due 2028. The Guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the subsidiary
guarantors and rank equal in right of payment with the existing and future
senior unsecured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors. Interest on the
Notes will accrue at a rate of 8.875% per year and is payable on April 15 and
October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2023. The Notes will mature on
April 15, 2030. The terms of the Notes are further described in the Prospectus
Supplement dated January 18, 2023, relating to the Securities, filed with the
