SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of the issuance of these financial statements and determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure, except for the following:
Dividend
The 2013 fourth quarter dividend was paid in the first quarter of 2014. On January 3, 2014, our Board declared a dividend of $0.125 per share, payable January 23, 2014 to common stockholders of record as of January 13, 2014.
Lease Agreement with Arc Terminals
On January 21, 2014, our subsidiary, LCP Oregon, closed on a Purchase and Sale Agreement. LCP Oregon acquired the Portland Terminal Facility, with certain associated real property rights (the “Acquisition”) for $40 million in cash.
LCP Oregon entered into a long-term triple net Lease Agreement on January 21, 2014, relating to the use of the Portland Terminal Facility (the “Portland Lease Agreement”) with Arc Terminals Holdings LLC ("Arc Terminals"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Arc Logistics. Arc Logistics will guaranty the obligations of Arc Terminals under the Portland Lease Agreement. The Portland Lease Agreement grants Arc Terminals substantially all authority to operate, and imposes on them the responsibility for the operation of, the Portland Terminal Facility. During the initial term, Arc Terminals will make base monthly rental payments (to be increased on the fifth anniversary by the change in the consumer price index for the prior five years, and every year thereafter by the greater of 2 percent or the change in the consumer price index) and variable rent payments based on the volume of liquid hydrocarbons that flowed through the Portland Terminal Facility in the prior month. The base rent in the initial year of the Portland Lease Agreement increases to approximately $417,522 per month starting with August 2014 and each month thereafter. The base rent is also expected to increase during the initial year of the Portland Lease Agreement based on a percentage of specified construction costs at the Portland Terminal Facility incurred by LCP Oregon, estimated at $10 million. Variable rent is capped at 30 percent of total rent, which would be the equivalent of the Portland Terminal Facility’s expected throughput capacity.
On January 21, 2014, we closed a follow on public offering of 7,475,000 shares of common stock, raising approximately $49 million in gross proceeds at $6.50 per share (net proceeds of approximately $46 million after underwriters’ discount). The number of shares includes additional shares that were sold pursuant to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of CorEnergy’s public offering of 6,500,000 shares. The net proceeds from this offering were used to finance the Acquisition.
We financed the Acquisition with cash. Currently, the Portland Terminal Facility accounts for a significant portion of our total assets and the lease payments under the Portland Lease Agreement accounts for a significant portion of our total revenue.
Loan Agreement with Black Bison
On March 13, 2014, our subsidiary Corridor Bison, LLC ("Corridor Bison") entered into a Loan Agreement with Black Bison Water Services, LLC ("Water Services"), pursuant to which Corridor Bison agreed to loan to Water Services up to $11,500,000 (the "Loan"). The proceeds of the Loan are to be used by Water Services and its affiliates to finance the acquisition and development of real property that will provide water sourcing, water disposal, or water treating and recycling services for the oil and natural gas industry. Water Services' initial Loan draw in the amount of $4,265,000 was used to acquire real property in Wyoming and to pay Loan transaction expenses.
Interest will initially accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at an annual base rate of 12 percent, which base rate will increase by 2 percent of the current base rate per year. In addition, starting in April 2015 and continuing for each month thereafter, the outstanding principal of the Loan will bear variable interest calculated as a function of the increase in volume of water treated by Water Services during the particular month. The base rent plus variable rent is capped at 19 percent per annum. The Loan matures on March 31, 2024 and is to be amortized by quarterly payments beginning March 31, 2015 and annual prepayments based upon free cash flows of the Borrower and its affiliates commencing in April 2015. The Loan is secured by the real property and equipment held by Water Services and the outstanding equity in Water Services and its affiliates. The Loan is also guarantied by all affiliates of Water Services.
As a condition to the Loan, Corridor Bison acquired a Warrant to purchase up to 15 percent of the outstanding equity of Black Bison Intermediate Holdings, LLC ("Intermediate Holdings"). Corridor Bison paid $34,000 for the Warrant, which amount was determined to represent the fair value of the Warrant as of the date of purchase. The exercise price of the Warrant, $3.16 per Unit, was determined based on the value of 15 percent of the contributed capital of Intermediate Holdings as of the date of purchase and increases at a rate of 12 percent per annum. The Warrant grants to Corridor Bison certain rights with respect to the management of the Intermediate Holdings and Water Services.
