Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
As previously disclosed, on February 4, 2019, SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (“SXCP”) and SunCoke Energy Partners GP LLC (“SXCP General Partner”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SunCoke Energy, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary SC Energy Acquisition LLC (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into SXCP, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and SXCP will continue as a surviving limited partnership (the “Merger”). The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the affirmative vote or consent of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding common units of SXCP (the “SXCP Common Units”).
The board of directors of the SXCP General Partner set May 16, 2019 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining holders of SXCP Common Units entitled to execute and deliver written consents with respect to the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger. On May 24, 2019, Sun Coal & Coke LLC, which as of the Record Date beneficially owned 28,499,899 SXCP Common Units representing approximately 61.7% of the outstanding SXCP Common Units, delivered a written consent approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the Merger in all respects (the “SC&C Written Consent”). While, as a result of the delivery of the SC&C Written Consent, no further action by any unitholder of SXCP is required under applicable law, or otherwise, to adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, the consent process for holders of SXCP Common Units with respect to the Merger Agreement and the Merger will remain open until 9:00 a.m., Central Time, on June 27, 2019.
