SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. Closes on Private $200 Million Debt Offering

SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) announced today that it and its wholly owned subsidiary, SunCoke Energy Partners Finance Corp., have closed on their previously announced offering of an additional $200 million aggregate principal amount of SXCP’s 7.375 percent senior unsecured notes. These notes were issued at a price equal to 102.000 percent of the principal amount, plus accrued interest from August 1, 2014, resulting in a yield to worst of 6.799 percent.

SXCP intends to use the majority of the net proceeds from the sale to repay $135 million of debt assumed from SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC) and pre-fund SXC’s approximately $45 million obligation to indemnify SXCP for the anticipated cost of an environmental project at SXCP’s Granite City, Ill., cokemaking facility. SXCP acquired a 75 percent interest in the Granite City facility from SXC in a deal that closed on January 13, 2015. SXCP intends to use the remainder of the proceeds to pay transaction costs for the acquisition and for general partnership purposes.

“The dropdown of the Granite City cokemaking facility is nicely accretive for SXCP by increasing distributable cash flow while benefiting SXC by reducing its debt, increasing its ownership interest in SXCP and funding a $45 million environmental project obligation at Granite City,” said Fritz Henderson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P.
