Business Wire News

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genesis Energy, L.P (NYSE: GEL) announced today that it has successfully syndicated and closed on a refinancing of its existing revolving credit facility with $950 million in new commitments from existing lenders, including a new $650 million revolving credit facility and a $300 million Term Loan A, both due March 15, 2024. Proceeds from the Term Loan A will be used to repay an equivalent amount outstanding under the existing revolving facility.


Grant Sims, CEO of Genesis Energy said, “Given improving business and economic conditions and our increasing free cash flow profile, we thought it was timely and prudent to proactively reduce the size, and extend the tenor, of our senior secured facility. With this extension, we now have no maturities until 2024. The new facility provides us with ample liquidity and flexibility to allow our base businesses to continue to recover in advance of first production and significant additional cash flow to come on-line from our two large growth projects in the Gulf of Mexico, Argos and King’s Quay, which are on schedule for the first and second quarters of 2022, respectively. All of this comes in advance of first production of soda ash from our fully expanded Granger facility anticipated in the back half of 2023.

We very much value the relationships with the banks in our group and are very appreciative of their continued support of Genesis. As always, we intend to be prudent as we evaluate additional opportunities to reduce leverage, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to reaching our target long-term leverage ratio of 4.0x.

Turning briefly to our operations for the first quarter, we would re-confirm our expectation for our offshore segment returning to a normalized quarterly run rate of around $85 million of Segment Margin. Additionally, we set an all-time record for first quarter production from our Westvaco soda ash facility. Finally, we experienced a de minimus financial impact from the winter storms that gripped much of Texas and Louisiana in February and March.”

As mentioned above, the new facility is comprised of a $650 million revolving facility and a $300 million Term Loan A, the proceeds from which will be used to pay down the balance under our existing revolver. The term loan will begin amortizing at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021 at $15 million per quarter through the fourth quarter of 2022, increasing to $25 million a quarter thereafter with the balance due at maturity. The relevant covenants contained in the new facility are summarized below:

  • Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio:
    • 5.85x 1Q2021 and 2Q2021
    • 5.75x 3Q2021 through 1Q2022
    • 5.50x thereafter
  • Maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio: 2.50x
  • Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio: 2.50x

The consummation of the Tender Offer is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, including the Company entering into a new senior secured term loan credit facility on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company, the net proceeds of which, together with cash on hand, are sufficient to fund the purchase of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase.

As previously announced, in connection with the Consent Solicitation (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), after receipt of at least a majority of the principal amount of the Notes on April 6, 2021, the Company and the Trustee executed a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture giving effect to the Proposed Amendments. The Supplemental Indenture became effective upon execution by the Company and the Trustee and the proposed amendments will become operative upon the Company accepting and making payment for all Notes tendered by the Early Settlement Date, subject to further terms described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.

Subject to the Aggregate Maximum Purchase Price, the Company will purchase Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline and on or prior to the Expiration Time on or about April 26, 2021 (the “Final Settlement Date”), assuming that the conditions to the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation are satisfied or waived.

EIG-led consortium to acquire 49% equity stake in new entity, Aramco Oil Pipelines Co., with rights to 25-years of tariff payments for oil transported through Aramco’s stabilized crude oil pipeline network

One of the world’s largest energy infrastructure transactions

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EIG, a leading institutional investor to the global energy sector and one of the world’s leading infrastructure investors, today announced that it has entered into a lease and lease-back agreement with Saudi Arabian Oil Co. ("Aramco"), under which a consortium of investors led by EIG will acquire a 49% equity stake in Aramco Oil Pipelines Company (“Aramco Oil Pipelines”), a newly formed entity with rights to 25-years of tariff payments for oil transported through Aramco’s stabilized crude oil pipeline network. The transaction is valued at approximately $12.4 billion with Aramco holding the remaining 51% stake in the new entity, indicating a total equity value of Aramco Oil Pipelines of approximately $25.3 billion.


The pipeline network, which includes all of Aramco’s existing and future stabilized crude pipelines in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, connects oilfields to downstream networks. The pipeline network transports 100% of Aramco’s crude oil produced in the Kingdom under its Concession Agreement.

As part of the transaction, Aramco will lease the usage rights in its stabilized crude oil pipelines network to Aramco Oil Pipelines, and Aramco Oil Pipelines will grant back to Aramco the exclusive right to use, transport through, operate and maintain the pipeline network during the 25-year period in exchange for a quarterly, volume-based tariff, payable by Aramco. The tariff will be backed by minimum volume commitments. Aramco will at all times retain title to, and operational control of, the pipeline network and will assume all operating and capital expense risk. The transaction will not impose any restrictions on Aramco’s actual crude oil production volumes that are subject to production decisions issued by the Kingdom.

This is an extraordinary opportunity for EIG’s investors, and we are proud to partner with Aramco in this marquee global infrastructure asset,” said R. Blair Thomas, EIG’s Chairman and CEO. “This transaction aligns perfectly with EIG’s philosophy of investing in high-quality assets with contracted cash flows in critical infrastructure. We look forward to a long-term partnership with Aramco and to delivering value for our investors through this landmark investment.”

Aramco President & CEO, Amin H. Nasser, said: “This landmark transaction defines the way forward for our portfolio optimization program. We are capitalizing on new opportunities that also align strategically with the Kingdom’s recently-launched Shareek program. Aramco’s strong capital structure will be further enhanced with this deal, which in turn will help maximize returns for our shareholders. Additionally, our long-term partners in this venture will benefit from investment in one of the world’s most impressive energy infrastructures. Moving forward, we will continue to explore opportunities that underpin our strategy of long-term value creation.”

The transaction is expected to close as soon as practicable, subject to customary closing conditions, including any required merger control and related regulatory approvals.

HSBC Bank plc acted as financial advisor to EIG in connection with the transaction, and Latham & Watkins served as EIG’s legal advisor.

Purchase of leading solar developer and installer significantly expands project pipeline, geographic presence in California, and adds proprietary rooftop solar technology

BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Catalyze today announced it has acquired award-winning solar developer and installer PermaCity, representing a major strategic transaction in Catalyze’s recently-announced market consolidation strategy. Catalyze is a leading national independent power producer that develops, constructs, owns and operates renewable distributed generation and storage projects for commercial and industrial (C&I) customers.


With a commitment to deliver more than 400 megawatts (MWs) of projects within the next few years, PermaCity expands Catalyze’s project pipeline to more than 2 gigawatts and establishes a stronghold in the large California distributed solar market.

The transaction is expected to produce substantial synergies between the two companies as Catalyze will use PermaCity’s revolutionary and proprietary rooftop solar panel mounting technology, “SolarStrap,” to deploy rooftop solar projects more quickly, efficiently, and profitably nationwide. In addition, PermaCity will now be able to provide battery storage solutions in partnership with Catalyze for their existing and future customers.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, PermaCity was founded in 2003 by Jonathan Port. The company has developed more than 100 MWs of installed and operating solar generation on more than 9 million square feet of commercial roofs, including the Westmont Industrial Complex, the largest solar roof in the U.S. at 16.4 MWs, the L.A. Convention Center, Fox Studios, and many others.

By acquiring PermaCity, not only are we adding an experienced professional team from the most successful C&I solar developer and installer in Southern California, we also gain the ability to implement the SolarStrap rooftop installation strategy which enables us to rapidly and efficiently deploy hundreds of rooftop projects for our customers,” said Catalyze Chief Executive Officer Steve Luker. “This standardization of rooftop installations will drive down costs, decrease construction time and allow us to deploy more capital across a larger number of rooftop projects, all of which is critical in meeting requirements from large customers with multiple installations occurring in parallel across the country.”

PermaCity will now operate as a business unit of Catalyze and Port will continue to lead the PermaCity division while also joining Catalyze’s executive leadership team. As part of the transaction PermaCity also has access to Catalyze’s proprietary origination-to-operations software integration platform, REenergyze™, battery storage and integration expertise, supply chain, project capital, tax equity partners, and shared services.

We looked at several options for financing projects, but the magnitude of the opportunity created by integrating PermaCity and Catalyze went far beyond that of any other mere capital provider and we can now offer more complete solutions to customers plus pursue previously unavailable opportunities,” said Port. “Catalyze’s REenergyze™ platform is a game changer for this sector, and the combination of their integrated battery storage solutions and PermaCity’s demonstrated experience with SolarStrap technology creates the ability to dominate the C&I market.”

Catalyze, which is backed by leading energy investors EnCap Investments L.P. and Yorktown Partners LLC, recently purchased two community solar projects in upstate New York and integrated battery storage provider Prisma Energy Solutions at the beginning of the year.

We couldn’t be more excited about the integration of PermaCity into the growing Catalyze family,” said Catalyze Vice President of Corporate Development Kenton Harder. “The highly-fragmented C&I solar industry is ripe for consolidation and efficiency gains. Catalyze, with its combination of powerful proprietary technologies, financial strength, and battery storage savvy, is in an even stronger position to lead a market consolidation effort with PermaCity on board.”

About Catalyze

Catalyze is a developer and independent power producer of renewable distributed generation, storage and electric vehicle projects, unlocking the commercial and industrial markets at scale through a first-of-its-kind approach. The company owns and operates integrated renewable assets and combines its proprietary technology, financial strength and battery and electric vehicle savvy to deliver standardized, yet configurable systems that meet their partners’ unique needs. These offerings enable property owners and customers to extract greater value from their assets, take increased responsibility and ownership of their energy profile, and ultimately become part of the clean energy transition.

AMES, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (“REG”) (NASDAQ: REGI) announced today that it will redeem all of its outstanding 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2036 (CUSIP No. 75972A AC7) (the “Notes”) on June 15, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed. Because the Redemption Date is the interest payment date relating to the regular record date of June 1, 2021, the holder of a Note as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2021 will be entitled, notwithstanding the redemption of the Notes, to receive, on the Redemption Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and, accordingly, the Redemption Price to be paid to the redeeming holder of a Note will not include accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. As of April 11, 2021, there was approximately $31.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding.


The Notes may be converted at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 11, 2021, which is the second business day immediately before the Redemption Date, in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes, dated as of June 2, 2016 (the “Indenture”) and the Notes. REG has determined that Notes surrendered for conversion will be settled in cash up to the principal amount of the Notes surrendered for conversion and shares of REG common stock for the remainder of the conversion obligation, if any, in excess of the principal amount (provided that REG will pay cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Notes are currently convertible at a conversion rate of 92.8074 shares of REG common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.

Unless REG defaults in making payment of the Redemption Price, interest on the Notes will cease to accrue from and after the Redemption Date and thereafter the only remaining right of a holder of Notes will be the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender of Notes to the Paying Agent. Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company to collect the Redemption Price.

Additional Information

Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee for the Notes, is sending a Notice of Full Redemption to all registered holders.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a notice of redemption of the Notes or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Green Hydrogen Market (Value, Volume) - Analysis By Technology, Application, By Region, By Country (2021 Edition): Market Insights, Covid-19 Impact, Competition and Forecast (2021-2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


Global Green Hydrogen Market in terms of Value was USD 908.15 Million in 2020 with Europe leading regional market share.

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water for which electric power is utilised, which is generated by renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar energy.

The major factors driving the growth of the global green hydrogen market is the growing demand for renewable energy resources. The adoption rate of green hydrogen is increasing significantly due to the increasing government investments and subsidies promoting clean fuel usage, including hydrogen. These resources are being considered as eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuel, which is likely to drive the global market during the forecast period.

Among the Technology segment in the Green Hydrogen market (Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer, Alkaline Electrolyzer, Solid Oxide Electrolyzer), Alkaline Electrolyzer segment leads the market. Alkaline electrolyzer operate by the principle of transportation of hydroxide ions via the electrolyte.

These are transferred from the cathode to the anode, while hydrogen is generated on the cathode side during the process. These electrolyzer use potassium or sodium hydroxide based liquid alkaline solution as an electrolyte. This type of electrolyzer is supplied by many companies, such as Tianjin Mainland Hydrogen Equipment Co., Ltd. (THE), one of the leading suppliers of this equipment.

Based on Application (Power Generation, Transport and Others), Power Generation segment gains a considerable share. Power demand has been increasing to a noteworthy extent. An increase in the global population, rapid industrialisation in emerging economies, and the migration of population into urban areas are likely to drive the demand for energy and power.

The European Region dominates the Green Hydrogen market. The region has an extensive oil and gas infrastructure, which has tremendous potential to be converted into infrastructure for hydrogen production, storage, and transportation while also creating job opportunities.

Scope of the Report

  • The report analyses the Green Hydrogen market By Value and By Volume.
