Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 2) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2017 (the Statement), relating to the common units representing limited partner interests (the Common Units) of VTTI Energy Partners LP, a Marshall Islands limited partnership (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Statement.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The total consideration paid for the Common Units in connection with the Merger (as defined herein) was approximately $472 million. The consideration was funded through capital contributions from the Reporting Persons to VTTI Merger Sub LLC (Merger Sub).
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Statement is amended and supplemented as follows:
On September 15, 2017, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VTTI. At the Effective Time, each Common Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Unvested LTIP Units and those Common Units held by MLP Partners) was converted into the right to receive $19.50 in cash. The Unvested LTIP Units were cancelled at the Effective Time without payment therefor, and the Common Units held by MLP Partners were not cancelled, were not converted into merger consideration and remain outstanding as Common Units. As a result, the Reporting Persons became the beneficial owners of all of the Common Units of the Issuer.
Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuers Common Units ceased to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
CUSIP No. Y9384M101 | 13D | Page 11 of 14 Pages |
