This statement on Schedule 13D this (“Statement”) relates to the common limited partner units (the “Common Units”) of TransMontaigne Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 1670 Broadway, Suite 3100, Denver, Colorado 80202.

 

This Schedule 13D represents Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by NGL Energy Partners LP (“NGL”), NGL Energy Holdings LLC, (“NGL GP”), H. Michael Krimbill, NGL Energy Operating LLC (“NGL Operating”), TransMontaigne Inc. (“TMG”), TransMontaigne Product Services Inc. (“TPSI”) and TransMontaigne Services Inc. (“TSI”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

 

On August 15, 2014, NGL and the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., the general partner of TLP (“TMG GP”), terminated discussions regarding NGL’s proposal to purchase all of the outstanding publicly-held Common Units of TLP.

 

Notwithstanding the termination of discussions surrounding a proposed transaction, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board of Directors, other unitholders of the Issuer and TMG GP and other relevant parties concerning the business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, operations, management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer, which discussions may include proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

The Reporting Persons may review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, the market price of the Common Units, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including purchasing additional Common Units or disposing of all or a portion of their Common Units.
