NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arc Logistics Partners LP ARCX ("Arc Logistics" or the "Partnership") today announced that it has filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the special meeting of its common unitholders to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the previously announced Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 29, 2017, by and among Arc Logistics, Arc Logistics GP LLC ("Arc GP"), Lightfoot Capital Partners GP LLC ("LCP GP"), Lightfoot Capital Partners, LP ("LCP LP" and, together with LCP GP, "Lightfoot") and Zenith Energy U.S., L.P. and certain of its affiliates (together with such affiliates, "Zenith"), a portfolio company of Warburg Pincus, and the merger contemplated thereby.

The special meeting will be held on December 18, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time at 666 Fifth Avenue, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10103. Arc Logistics expects to commence mailing the definitive proxy statement and other related proxy materials on or about October 30, 2017 to Arc Logistics common unitholders of record as of October 20, 2017. Only Arc Logistics common unitholders of record at the close of business on October 20, 2017 will be entitled to vote at the special meeting. The deadline for Arc Logistics common unitholders to submit their proxy is 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on December 17, 2017.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Zenith will acquire Arc GP, the general partner of Arc Logistics (the "GP Transfer"), and all of the outstanding common units in Arc Logistics (the "Merger" and, together with the GP Transfer, the "Proposed Transaction"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, all Arc Logistics common unitholders, other than Lightfoot, will receive $16.50 per common unit in cash for each common unit they own, which represents a premium of approximately 15% to the Partnership's common unit price as of August 28, 2017 (which is the day prior to the announcement of the Merger). LCP LP will receive $14.50 per common unit in cash for the approximately 5.2 million common units held by it, and LCP GP will receive $94.5 million for 100% of the membership interests in Arc GP.

Arc Logistics common unitholders who have questions about the proxy statement or voting their common units should contact MacKenzie Partners, Inc., the Partnership's proxy solicitor, toll free at 1-800-322-2885.

Subject to satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding common units of Arc Logistics, the parties currently expect to close the Proposed Transaction on or about December 21, 2017. Lightfoot, the owner of Arc GP and approximately 26.8% of the outstanding common units, has executed an agreement to vote in support of the proposal at the special meeting. Additionally, the transaction is subject to (i) the closing of the purchase by Zenith and Lightfoot from EFS Midstream Holdings LLC of certain of the interests in Arc Terminals Joliet Holdings LLC, which indirectly owns among other things a crude oil unloading facility and a 4-mile crude oil pipeline in Joliet, Illinois, and (ii) the closing of the purchase by Zenith of a 5.5% interest (and, subject to certain conditions, an additional 4.2% interest) in Gulf LNG Holdings Group, LLC, which owns a liquefied natural gas regasification and storage facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi, from Lightfoot.
