TXO Energy Partners, L.P. Announces Pricing of Initial Public Offering

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MorningStar Partners, L.P., which will be renamed “TXO Energy Partners, L.P.” (“TXO”), announced today the pricing of its initial public offering of 5,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in TXO (the “common units”) at price to the public of $20.00 per common unit. TXO has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 common units at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. TXO’s common units are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “TXO.” The offering is expected to close on January 31, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

TXO expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $88.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and excluding any exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units. TXO intends to use the net proceeds to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

Upon the closing of the offering, the public will own an approximate 17% limited partner interest in TXO, or an approximate 83% limited partner interest if the underwriters exercise, in full, their option to purchase additional common units.
