Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Event | NOTE I – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 11, 2014, the Board of Compressco Partners GP Inc. confirmed that the conditions set forth in the definition of "Subordination Period" contained in the Partnership Agreement of Compressco Partners will be met upon the payment of the August 15, 2014 cash distribution. As a result, effective August 18, 2014, the 6,273,970 subordinated units of Compressco Partners will automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into common units. After the conversion of our subordinated units, we will no longer have any subordinated units and our common units will no longer be entitled to arrearages in cash distributions. The conversion of these subordinated units does not impact the amount of cash distributions paid to us by Compressco Partners or the total number of outstanding units of Compressco Partners. These subordinated units were issued to us by Compressco Partners in connection with its initial public offering. On August 4, 2014, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated July 20, 2014, a subsidiary of Compressco Partners acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of CSI for $825.0 million cash, subject to an adjustment based on working capital. See Note B - Acquisitions for further discussion of this acquisition and related financings.
