NuStar Energy LP (NYSE:NS) decided to sell a 50% stake in its asphalt operations to private-investment company Lindsay Goldberg LLC in a $175 million deal, a action that will permit NuStar Energy to repay debt, though it would contribute to Q2 earnings being considerably under previous year.
NuStar Energy, which is one of the biggest United States asphalt corporations in addition to a pipeline and storage organization, reported that it and Lindsay Goldberg also decided to form a joint venture that would own and operate NuStar’s asphalt operations.
Both companies will each have a 50% voting interest and the joint venture would pay NuStar for inventories transferred at the time of the accord’s ending, which is projected to occur by Sept 30. The payment would be funded by a credit facility being arranged for the venture.
