Under the deal, each public common unit holder would receive $4.02 per unit owned, representing a 34% premium MRMC’s to the market May closing price. Initially, Martin Resources offered $3.05 per unit, or about $100.3 million.
The price climbed after New York-based firms capital firms Nut Tree Capital Management and Caspian Capital countered MRMC’s previous offer for Martin Midstream with a non-binding offer of $4 per unit, or roughly $131 million cash.
The firms described their offer in a July 11 letter as a compelling alternative to MRMC’s “below market and conflict-ridden proposal.”
