The Explanatory Note to the Form 6-K deemed furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2012 with respect to the completion of Capital Product Partners L.P.’s issuance and sale of Class B Convertible Preferred Units (the “Original Filing”) should be disregarded in its entirety. For the avoidance of doubt, the Original Filing has no effect on the Report on Form 6-K/A deemed furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2012 with respect to a press release of Capital Product Partners L.P. The remainder of the Original Filing is identical to this Report on Form 6-K/A.
Item 1 – Information Contained in this Form 6-K/A Report
On May 22, 2012, Capital Product Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) completed its issuance and sale of 14,444,443 Class B Convertible Preferred Units (the “Class B Units”) to certain investors (the “Purchasers”), including the Partnership’s Sponsor, Capital Maritime & Trading Corp., pursuant to the Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Subscription Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2010 (the “Subscription Agreement”). The net proceeds, together with part of the Partnership’s cash balances, were used to repay debt of $149.6 million across the Partnership’s three credit facilities. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Class B Units, the Partnership has adopted the Second Amendment, dated as of May 22, 2012 (the “Second Amendment to the LP Agreement”), to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership. The Second Amendment to the LP Agreement establishes and sets forth the rights, preferences, privileges, duties and obligations of the Class B Units. The issued Class B Units have certain rights that are senior to the rights of the holders of common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership (the “Common Units”), such as the right to distributions and rights upon liquidation of the Partnership, as described in the Second Amendment to the LP Agreement. In addition, the Partnership entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2012 (“Registration Rights Agreement”), with certain purchasers, relating to the registered resale of Common Units issuable upon the conversion of the Class B Units purchased pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
The Class B Units have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent a registration statement or exemption from registration.
The foregoing description of the Class B Units, the terms of their issuance and the related documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Second Amendment to the LP Agreement, which are filed as exhibits to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
Attached as Exhibit I is the Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Subscription Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2012, by and among the Partnership and each of the purchasers named therein.
Attached as Exhibit II is the Second Amendment, dated as of May 22, 2012, to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of February 22, 2010, as amended.
Attached as Exhibit III is the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2012, by and among the Partnership and each of the holders named therein.
Attached as Exhibit IV is a press release of Capital Product Partners L.P., dated May 23, 2012.
This report on Form 6-K/A is hereby incorporated by reference into the registrant’s registration statement, registration number 333-177491, dated October 24, 2011.
