Drop Down Transaction | Drop Down Transaction: CMTC has proposed that it would agree to drop down three 9,000 TEU containerships and two medium range product tankers at attractive prices, as well provide the Partnership with a right of first refusal over six additional medium range product tankers, in exchange for amending the target distributions to holders of Incentive Distribution Rights ('Drop Down Transaction'). This proposal is subject to unitholders approval at the Annual General Meeting of the Partnership, scheduled for August 21, 2014. |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
