HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Genesis Energy, L.P. (NYSE: GEL) announced today, in connection with our previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for our 7.750% Senior Notes due 2028 ( “Notes”), that we have increased the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes that we will accept for purchase in the Tender Offer from $490 million to any and all of the Notes on the terms and conditions of the offer to purchase, dated as of February 18, 2026; and, as a result, there is no longer a limit on the maximum amount of Notes that we will purchase in the Tender Offer, acceptances of tendered Notes shall no longer be subject to proration, and we will accept any additional Notes tendered by holders after the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) (as amended by the terms set forth herein, the “Offer to Purchase”).

Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 3, 2026, unless extended (such time and date as the same may be extended the “Early Tender Deadline”), will be eligible to receive a purchase price of $1,001.25 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, including an early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes tendered. Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 18, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date as the same may be extended the “Expiration Time”), will be eligible to receive a purchase price of $971.25 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered. Tendering holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date. Settlement for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Deadline is expected to occur on March 5, 2026 and settlement for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time is expected to occur on March 20, 2026, in each case assuming the Early Tender Deadline and Expiration Time, respectively, are not extended by us and that the Tender Offer is not terminated by us.

The Tender Offer is contingent upon, among other things, the receipt by us after the date hereof of net proceeds from one or more offerings of senior notes by us (the “Financing”) which will provide us with an amount of funds that is sufficient in our reasonable discretion to fund the purchase of all the Notes that would be accepted for payment in the Tender Offer, assuming the Tender Offer were fully subscribed. The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Notes being tendered. We may amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offer in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law. We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law, to terminate the Tender Offer at any time prior to the Expiration Time. We will not be required to purchase any of the Notes tendered unless certain conditions have been satisfied.

We currently intend to call for redemption any and all of the Notes that remain outstanding following the consummation or termination of the Tender Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture governing the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or redeem any of the Notes that remain outstanding after the Tender Offer; and, in the case of redemption, the selection of any particular redemption date is in our discretion. We cannot assure you that we will redeem the Notes. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the Notes.

LADERA RANCH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”) (NYSE: SMA), an internally managed real estate investment trust and a premier owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the United States and Canada, today announced that it has completed an amended and restated senior unsecured credit facility in the initial amount of $500 million with a syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, Bank of Montreal, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., M&T Bank, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The financing will provide SmartStop with additional flexibility to support its continued growth across the United States and Canada.

“We are extremely pleased to close this new credit facility, capping off a 12-month process to transform our investment-grade balance sheet,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and CEO of SmartStop. “This financing further strengthens our balance sheet, lowers our cost of debt, ladders out our debt maturities, and provides the flexibility we need to drive our growth strategy across the U.S. and Canada. The strong support from our banking partners reflects their confidence in our platform, the quality of our portfolio, and our team’s exceptional dedication.”

The agreement also includes an accordion feature that allows SmartStop to request up to an additional $1.1 billion in borrowing capacity. Initial advances under the Credit Facility bear interest on a pricing grid that is approximately 30 basis points lower than the previous revolving credit facility.

The new facility has a four-year term and includes an option for a 12-month extension, allowing SmartStop to further align its borrowing capacity with its long-term strategic plans. The company will also be able to borrow in either U.S. or Canadian dollars, offering added versatility as it expands its portfolio in both markets.
