Item 1.

Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 26, 2015 (the “Schedule 13D”), as amended by that certain Amendment No.1 on Schedule 13D/A filed on July 1, 2016, and further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D/A filed on April 4, 2017 (together with the Schedule 13D, the “Prior Filings”), and relates to common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) of World Point Terminals, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 8235 Forsyth Blvd., Suite 400, St. Louis, Missouri 63105.

 

The Prior Filings continue in effect, except as expressly modified hereby. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prior Filings.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

 

(a)

This Amendment No. 3 is filed by World Point Terminals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Novelly Dynasty Trust, a Missouri trust, the Novelly Family Trust, a Missouri trust, Apex Oil Company, Inc., a Missouri corporation, Apex Holding Co., a Missouri corporation, and Paul A. Novelly. World Point is the sole member of CPT 2010, and the Novelly Trusts collectively own a controlling interest in World Point. Apex Holding is the sole stockholder of Apex, and Mr. Novelly is the sole director of Apex Holding. Each of the foregoing is referred to collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” P.A. Novelly II, Steven G. Twele and Karon M. Burns serve as trustees of each of the Novelly Trusts and have shared investment and voting control over the securities held thereby but may exercise such control only with a majority of the trustees and thus are not deemed to beneficially own any of the securities. No shareholder of Apex Holding has a majority interest in Apex Holding, and therefore, no individual shareholder of Apex Holding is deemed to hold any beneficial ownership in the Common Units indirectly beneficially owned by Apex Holding.

 

 

(b)

The business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 8235 Forsyth Blvd., Suite 400, St. Louis, Missouri 63105.

 

(c)

The principal business of the Reporting Persons is the supply, storage, distribution and marketing of refined petroleum products and the investment in entities involved in such activities. Mr. Novelly’s principal occupation is Chairman of St. Albans Global Management, Limited Partnership, LLLP.

 

(d)-(e)

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f)

Mr. Novelly is a citizen of the United States.

 

In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the executive officers, board of directors and each person controlling the Reporting Persons, as applicable (collectively, the “Listed Persons”), required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule I hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. Except as otherwise noted on Schedule I, none of the Listed Persons have any beneficial interest in any Common Units. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed on Schedule I as a director or executive officer of the Reporting Persons has been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

The Reporting Persons estimate that approximately $159.1 million in cash will be required to acquire all of the outstanding Common Units not already owned by World Point or its affiliates pursuant to the proposed transaction described in Item 4 below. World Point intends to finance the proposed transaction from existing cash and proceeds from the sale of marketable securities on hand or committed borrowings of World Point and its affiliates. The proposed transaction will not be subject to any financing condition.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

  

Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

On April 3, 2017, World Point delivered to the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “GP Board”) a preliminary non-binding proposal (the “Original Proposal”) to acquire all of the Common Units not already owned by World Point or its affiliates (the “Proposed Transaction”), in a two-step transaction pursuant to which (1) World Point would commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Common Units not already beneficially owned by World Point or its affiliates, at a price of $16.80 per Common Unit, net to the holder in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”), and (2) immediately following the consummation of the Offer, the General Partner would assign to World Point the right to purchase all of the remaining Common Units not tendered pursuant to the Offer pursuant to Section 15.1(a) of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”), and, within a reasonable time following such assignment, World Point would exercise the right to purchase all of such Common Units pursuant to Section 15.1(a) of the Partnership Agreement (the “Buyout”), at a price per Common Unit equal to the Offer Price, net to the holder in cash, without interest, upon the principal terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Original Proposal.

 

 

On May 19, 2017, following discussions between World Point and the Conflicts Committee of the GP Board (the “Conflicts Committee”) relating to the Proposed Transaction, World Point, acting upon the recommendation of the special committee formed by the Board of Directors of World Point to consider the Proposed Transaction (the “Special Committee”), delivered to the Conflicts Committee a revised non-binding proposal (the “Revised Proposal”) setting forth the principal terms and conditions upon which World Point would be prepared to move forward with the Proposed Transaction.

 

The Revised Proposal preserves the transaction structure and other principal terms and conditions set forth in the Original Proposal, but proposes to increase the Offer Price to $17.30 per Common Unit, net to the holder in cash, without interest. The Revised Proposal also indicates that the Offer Price would be a net amount of cash, without adjustment, including any adjustment for a pro rata quarterly distribution for the quarter in which the Offer is completed. The Revised Proposal contemplates that, in the definitive agreement in connection with the Proposed Transaction (the “Transaction Agreement”), World Point would agree that, until the closing date of the Buyout or the termination of the Transaction Agreement prior to completion of the Buyout, the GP Board will, subject to compliance with applicable law, cause the Issuer to continue to pay the regular quarterly cash distributions to unitholders, at the minimum quarterly distribution rate of $0.30 per Common Unit, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. However, the Revised Proposal indicates that World Point expects to consummate the Proposed Transaction in a timely manner, and will limit any potential extensions to the Offer accordingly, such that the unitholders tendering their Common Units pursuant to the Offer or selling their Common Units in the Buyout would have sold their Common Units before the expected record date for the quarterly cash distribution with respect to the second quarter of 2017. Accordingly, the Revised Proposal states that if the Proposed Transaction is consummated, World Point does not expect that the quarterly cash distribution with respect to the second quarter of 2017 will become payable to the non-affiliated unitholders.

 

As under the Original Proposal, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Revised Proposal would be subject to certain conditions set forth in the Revised Proposal. In particular, World Point’s obligation to consummate the Offer and accept and pay for the Common Units tendered pursuant to the Offer would be subject to the condition that the number of Common Units tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer) shall represent, together with the Common Units then owned by World Point and its affiliates, more than 80% of the total number of Common Units then outstanding (the “Minimum Tender Condition”). In addition, World Point’s obligation to consummate the Offer would be subject to the condition that the Offer Price shall not be less than an amount equal to the greater of (i) the average trading price of the Common Units during the 20-day trading period preceding the date that is three business days prior to the date on which notice of the Buyout is given by World Point and (ii) the highest price paid by World Point or its affiliates for any Common Units purchased within the preceding 90-day period (the “Formula Price”), for any reason, including, among other things, as a result of any increase in the trading price of the Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that occurs after the date hereof (the “Price Condition”).

 

The purpose of the Proposed Transaction is for World Point and its affiliates to acquire all of the outstanding Common Units not already owned by World Point or its affiliates, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Revised Proposal. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. If any conditions to the consummation of the Proposed Transaction (including, without limitation, the Minimum Tender Condition and the Price Condition) are not satisfied, World Point may not be able to complete the Proposed Transaction. In particular, if an insufficient number of Common Units is tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer), such that following the expiration of the Offer, World Point and its affiliates do not own more than 80% of the total number of Common Units then outstanding, World Point will not be able to exercise the right to purchase all of the remaining Common Units not tendered pursuant to the Offer pursuant to Section 15.1(a) of the Partnership Agreement. Moreover, World Point does not expect to pay for any Common Units not tendered pursuant to the Offer a purchase price that is higher than the Offer Price. Accordingly, if the Formula Price exceeds the Offer Price for any reason, including, among other things, as a result of any increase in the trading price of the Common Units on the NYSE that occurs after the date hereof, World Point does not intend to complete the Buyout.

 

 

The Revised Proposal indicates that it has been approved by the Special Committee and constitutes World Point’s best and final offer in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Revised Proposal is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other than as described in this Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any matters set forth in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D.

Upon conversion of the Subordinated Units into Common Units on November 14, 2016, as described in the Prior Filings, (i) CPT 2010 is the direct holder of 16,485,507 Common Units, (ii) World Point is the direct holder of 6,423,007 Common Units, (iii) Apex is the direct holder of 1,550,000 Common Units, (iv) the Novelly Dynasty Trust is the direct holder of 250,000 Restricted Common Units (all of which vested on April 23, 2017) and (iv) Global is the direct holder of 957,662 Common Units.

 

World Point is the sole member of CPT 2010 and therefore indirectly beneficially owns the Common Units held by CPT 2010. The Novelly Dynasty Trust and the Novelly Family Trust collectively own a controlling interest in World Point and therefore may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Units beneficially owned by World Point. P.A. Novelly II, Steven G. Twele and Karon M. Burns serve as trustees of each of the Novelly Trusts and have shared investment and voting control over the securities held thereby but may exercise such control only with a majority of the trustees and therefore are not deemed to beneficially own any of the Common Units held directly or indirectly by World Point.

 

Apex Holding is the sole shareholder of Apex and therefore indirectly beneficially owns the Common Units held by Apex. No shareholder of Apex Holding has a majority interest in Apex Holding, and therefore, no individual shareholder of Apex Holding is deemed to hold any beneficial ownership in the Common Units indirectly beneficially owned by Apex Holding. Paul A. Novelly is the sole director and Chief Executive Officer of Apex Holding and thus may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Units indirectly held by Apex Holding. Mr. Novelly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units held indirectly by Apex Holding except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

Mr. Novelly is the Chairman of Global and, as such, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Units held by Global, but disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Units held by Global except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

 

(c)

Timothy J. Duehren is President of Apex Oil Company, Inc.  Mr. Duehren is enrolled in a dividend reinvestment plan.  Following the Issuer’s regular quarterly distribution for the first quarter of 2017 paid on May 15, 2017, Mr. Duehren acquired 29.6767 Common Units pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan, at a price of $16.6248 per Common Unit, on May 16, 2017.
