THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CSI Compressco LP ("CSI Compressco" or the "Partnership") (NASDAQ: CCLP) and the Partnership's wholly owned subsidiary, CSI Compressco Finance Inc. ("Finance Corp" and, together with the Partnership, the "Issuers") today announced that, in connection with their previously announced Exchange Offer for the Issuers' 7.250% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2022 (the "Unsecured Notes"), at least 57.9% of the Unsecured Notes are expected to be accepted for exchange.

As previously announced, Eligible Holders must tender their Unsecured Notes by 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on June 10, 2020 to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration of $900 principal amount of New First Lien Notes or, as applicable and subject to proration as described in the Offering Memorandum, $975 principal amount of New Second Lien Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Unsecured Notes. Other than as described in this announcement, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer remain as set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

All capitalized terms used herein have the meaning defined in the Confidential Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement dated April 17, 2020 (as amended to the date hereof, the "Offering Memorandum").

The Issuers have entered into a support agreement (the "Support Agreement") with certain Eligible Holders (the "Supporting Holders") representing approximately $147.4 million aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Notes, or 49.8%, pursuant to which the Supporting Holders have agreed to tender all of the Unsecured Notes held by them in the Exchange Offer and not withdraw such Unsecured Notes, subject to certain conditions.

Based on the Unsecured Notes tendered to date and the Supporting Holders' commitment to tender their Unsecured Notes, approximately 57.9% of the Unsecured Notes would be tendered and accepted for exchange, comprising sufficient consents to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions in the indenture governing the Unsecured Notes and resulting in the issuance of $50.0 million of New First Lien Notes and approximately $113.0 million of New Second Lien Notes in the Exchange Offer.
