- Conversion expected to enable further diversification, enhance growth potential and expand shareholders’ rights
- Hi-Crush Inc.’s common stock to begin trading under the ticker symbol HCR on the New York Stock Exchange on June 3, 2019
HOUSTON, May 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hi-Crush Partners LP (NYSE: HCLP), “Hi-Crush” or the “Partnership”, announced today that unitholders approved the proposed Plan of Conversion (the “Conversion”) at the Special Meeting of Unitholders held on May 22, 2019.
Pursuant to the Conversion, after the market close on May 31, 2019, the outstanding common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Units”) will each be exchanged for one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the “Common Stock”) of Hi-Crush Inc. (the “Corporation”). Unitholders will receive, in exchange for their Units, 100% of the Common Stock to be outstanding immediately following the Conversion. Beginning on June 3, 2019, the Corporation’s Common Stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “HCR”. As of May 20, 2019, there were 101,105,766 Common Units outstanding, and upon completion of the one-for-one conversion, Hi-Crush expects to have the same number of Common Shares outstanding.
“We thank all unitholders who voted and appreciate the overwhelming support we received in favor of Conversion,” said Robert E. Rasmus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hi-Crush. “The Conversion remains critical to the future success of Hi-Crush, enables diversification and enhances growth potential, while better aligning our corporate structure and evolving business model. The conversion to a C-Corp will also streamline corporate governance, delivering benefits to our shareholders through enhanced protections and rights commonly associated with the traditional structure. In addition, we believe that the Conversion will increase Hi-Crush’s access to, and lower the cost of, capital through an expanded field of potential investors.”
Following completion of the Conversion on May 31, 2019, the business currently conducted by the Partnership will be conducted by the Corporation, with no change to operating management or the board of directors.
