Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the initial Schedule 13D (“Original 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 30, 2021 by
Sisecam Chemicals USA Inc. (“Sisecam US”), Sisecam Chemicals Wyoming LLC (“New Wyoming”), Sisecam Chemicals Resources LLC (“New Resources”), Soda Sanayii A.S. (“Soda”) and Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikalari A.Ş. (“Sisecam Turkey”), as amended and
supplemented by the Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on July 6, 2022, as further amended and supplemented by the Amendment No.2 filed with the SEC on February 2, 2023 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), by Sisecam US, New Wyoming, New Resources
and Sisecam Turkey, with respect to the common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) of Sisecam Resources LP (the “Issuer”). The Schedule 13D shall not be modified except as specifically provided herein.
| Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
No change to this Item.
| Item 2. | Identity and Background |
No change to this Item.
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The information in Item 3 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement described in Item 4 of this Amendment No.3 (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference), New Resources funded the Merger through a
combination of cash on hand, dividend flows, income from dividends, loans from its parent entities and the proceeds of a $110 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) by and among New Resources and (i) each of New Resources’
subsidiaries (including the Issuer and each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, other than Sisecam Wyoming LLC (“SWY”) and SWY’s subsidiaries), as guarantors, (ii) Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent, (iii) Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and
Societe Generale, as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, and (iv) several other banks, financial institutions, institutional investors and other entities party thereto.
The foregoing description of the Term Loan Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by the full text of the Term Loan Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit E and incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The information in Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On May 26, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer
surviving and continuing to exist as a Delaware limited partnership.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Issuer became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership GP and New Wyoming. Pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding common unit of the Issuer (the “Common Units”), other than those held by New Wyoming and its permitted transferees (the “Parent Units”), was converted into
the right to receive $25.00 per Common Unit in cash without any interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). Each issued and outstanding Parent Unit, each issued and outstanding Incentive Distribution Right (as defined in the Issuer’s First
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of September 18, 2013, (as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”) in the Issuer, and the Partnership GP’s general partner interest in the Issuer was not cancelled, was not converted
into (and did not entitle the holder thereof to receive) Merger Consideration, and remained outstanding following the Merger.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Issuer (i) notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Certificate of Merger relating to the Merger had been
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and had become effective as of the Effective Time and (ii) requested that the NYSE file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 with the SEC to delist and
deregister the Common Units under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The trading of Common Units was suspended before the opening of trading on the Closing Date. Additionally, the Issuer
intends to file a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act with the SEC requesting the suspension of the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Consequently, this Amendment No. 3 constitutes an
exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
The information in Item 5 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
(a) New Wyoming is the record and beneficial owner of 19,808,749 common units, which, based on 19,808,749 common units outstanding as of May 26, 2023, represents 100.0% of the outstanding common
units of the Issuer.
None of Sisecam US, New Resources, or Sisecam Turkey directly owns any common units of the Issuer; however, New Resources, as the owner of all of the ownership interests in New Wyoming, Sisecam US,
as the owner of 60% of the ownership interests of New Resources, and Sisecam Turkey, as the owner of all of the ownership interests in Sisecam US, may be deemed to share with Ciner Enterprises, Inc. the beneficial ownership of the 19,808,749 common
units representing 100.0% of the outstanding common units of the Issuer held of record by New Wyoming and beneficially by New Resources as of the date hereof.
(b) The information set forth in rows 7 through 11 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Except as described elsewhere in this Amendment, none of the Reporting Persons has affected any transactions in the common units of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 7. | Material to Be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following exhibits:
Exhibit E – Credit Agreement, dated
as of May 26, 2023, by and among Sisecam Chemicals Resources LLC, Guarantors defined therein, Alter Domus (US) LLC, as Administrative Agent, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and Societe Generale, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners*
