Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On August 14, 2015, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. ("the Partnership") notified the Royal Bank of Canada, the administrative agent of its revolving credit facility, that it was reducing the aggregate committed sum (as defined in the underlying credit agreement) from $900.0 million to $700.0 million. The Partnership can exercise the accordion feature of its revolving credit facility at any time and expand the facility up to an aggregate committed sum of $900.0 million. As a result of the decreased capacity, the Partnership expects to reduce the amount of commitment fees under its revolving credit facility by approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements about the Partnership's outlook and all other statements in this release other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements and all references to financial estimates rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Partnership's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. While the Partnership believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors, including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in the Partnership's annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
