BY Business Wire | CORPORATE | 02/06/25 04:59 PM EST

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TransMontaigne Partners LLC (?TransMontaigne?) today announced that it has priced its offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the ?Notes?) at an issue price of 100% in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ?Securities Act?). The Notes offering is expected to close on February 21, 2025, and is subject to market conditions and other factors.

TransMontaigne intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to redeem all of its 6.125% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the ?2026 Notes?), to repay indebtedness under its revolving credit facility, to make a distribution to TLP Finance Holdings, LLC, its direct parent (?TLP Finance?), to repay TLP Finance?s term loan due 2025 and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes. TransMontaigne delivered a conditional notice of redemption to redeem the 2026 Notes in full, at par plus accrued interest, on February 5, 2025.

The Notes will initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of TransMontaigne?s subsidiaries that guarantee its credit facility.

The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States, only to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Neither this press release nor anything contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Notes.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
