PRESS RELEASE
FLINT HILLS RESOURCES HOUSTON CHEMICAL ANNOUNCES EXPIRATION OF CONSENT SOLICITATION RELATING TO THE 6.25% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2020
HOUSTON, Texas, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ Flint Hills Resources Houston Chemical, LLC (the Company) today announced that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 23, 2014, the previously announced solicitation of consents (the Consent Solicitation) from holders of the outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2020 (the Notes) issued by PetroLogistics LP, a predecessor to the Company (PetroLogistics), and FHR Houston Chemical Finance Corp., formerly known as PetroLogistics Finance Corp. (Finance Corp. and together with the Company, the Issuers), to approve amendments (the Proposed Amendments) to the indenture relating to the Notes (the Indenture) had expired without the Issuers receiving the requisite consents for the Proposed Amendments. The Consent Solicitation has not been further extended.
The Proposed Amendments would have amended Section 4.03 of the Indenture to replace the requirement that the Company file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission with a requirement that the Company provide holders of the Notes with a specified set of information that is more typical of debt securities issued in a Rule 144A-for-life transaction. The Proposed Amendments would also have amended Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture to remove the prohibition on the consolidation or merger of Finance Corp. with or into an entity that is not a corporation.
