/EIN News/ -- HOUSTON, Feb. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“Buckeye”) announced today that it has received the requisite consents to implement the Proposed Amendments (as defined below) to the indentures (the “Indentures”) governing its (i) 4.150% Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), (ii) 4.350% Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and 5.600% Notes due 2044 (the “2044 Notes”), (iii) 3.950% Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), (iv) 4.125% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), (v) 6.750% Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) and (vi) 5.850% Notes due 2043 (the “2043 Notes” and, collectively with the 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2044 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2033 Notes, the “Notes”) in connection with its previously announced solicitations of consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) from holders of the applicable Notes. The Consent Solicitations were made pursuant to a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated February 13, 2020 (as amended or supplemented, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), to seek consents from holders of Notes to substantially conform the reporting covenant in the applicable Indenture (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the reporting covenant contained in the indenture governing Buckeye’s 4.125% Senior Notes due 2025 and 4.500% Senior Notes due 2028, which were issued on February 19, 2020.

Buckeye has been advised that it has received consents from holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of each applicable series of Notes (not including any Notes held by Buckeye or any of its affiliates) (the “Requisite Consents”). In connection with the receipt of the Requisite Consents, Buckeye has executed a supplemental indenture to the Indentures to effect the Proposed Amendments with respect to each series Notes. Buckeye expects to pay the applicable consent fees to holders of Notes on the applicable record date on February 28, 2020 or promptly thereafter.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as solicitation agent for the Consent Solicitations and D.F. King & Co., Inc. acted as the information agent for the Consent Solicitations.

Neither the Consent Solicitations nor any related documents have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, nor have any such documents been filed with or reviewed by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority of any country. No authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Consent Solicitation Statement or any related documents, and it is unlawful and may be a criminal offense to make any representation to the contrary.

The Consent Solicitations were made solely on the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement. Under no circumstances shall this press release constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes or any other securities of Buckeye or any of its affiliates. The Consent Solicitations were not made to, nor will Buckeye accept deliveries of consents from, holders in any jurisdiction in which the Consent Solicitations or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction. This press release also is not a solicitation of consents to the Proposed Amendments to the Indentures.
