REPORT
Special Meeting of Unitholders
A
special meeting of unitholders (the
Special Meeting
) of VTTI Energy Partners LP (the
Partnership
) was held on September 13, 2017 to consider and vote on proposals (i) to adopt and approve the Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 8, 2017 (the
Merger Agreement
), by and among the Partnership, VTTI Energy Partners GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, VTTI B.V., the Partnerships indirect parent
(
VTTI
), VTTI MLP Partners B.V., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of VTTI (
MLP Partners
), and VTTI Merger Sub LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of MLP Partners (
Merger Sub
), and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as a Marshall Islands limited partnership and as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of VTTI (the
Merger
) and (ii) to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and approve the
transactions contemplated thereby at the time of the Special Meeting. The proposals are described in detail in the proxy statement filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to the Partnerships Transaction Statement on Schedule
13E-3
filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) on July 18, 2017.
At the Special Meeting, holders of 17,197,924 common units representing limited partner interests in the partnership (the
Common
Units
) and holders of 20,125,000 subordinated units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the
Subordinated Units
) were present or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum. A summary of the voting
results for the proposals is set forth below:
Proposal 1: Adoption and Approval of the Merger Agreement
The Partnerships unitholders adopted and approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.
Approval of the proposal required the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the Common Units held by the Partnerships unitholders other than by VTTI, MLP Partners, and their respective affiliates (the
Unaffiliated
Common Units
) and of holders of at least a majority of the Subordinated Units, in each case outstanding as of the record date for the Special Meeting, voting as separate classes. The following are the tabulated votes For and
Against this proposal, as well as the number of Abstentions:
