Sale of Common Units Under Equity Distribution Agreement |
Sale of Common Units Under Equity Distribution Agreement | (9) Sale of Common Units Under Equity Distribution Agreement During the third quarter of 2016, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement and in the first quarter of 2017 amended and restated the Equity Distribution Agreement to reflect AMP GP’s succession as our general partner (as amended and restated, the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which the Partnership may sell, from time to time through brokers acting as its sales agents, common units representing limited partner interests having an aggregate offering price of up to $250 million. The offer and sale of common units under the program has been registered with the SEC on an effective registration statement on Form S-3. Sales of the common units may be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, at market prices, in block transactions, or as otherwise agreed to between the Partnership and the sales agents. Proceeds are expected to be used for general partnership purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness and funding working capital or capital expenditures. The Partnership is under no obligation to offer and sell common units under the Distribution Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership issued and sold 777,262 common units under the Distribution Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of $25.5 million, net of $0.6 million of compensation payable to the sales agents for sales made during the period, and $0.4 million of other offering costs. As of September 30, 2017, the Partnership had the capacity to issue additional common units under the Distribution Agreement up to an aggregate sales price of $157.3 million.
