NGP Capital Resources Company
Announces Sale of Alden and Gatliff Investments
NGP Capital Resources Company (NASDAQ: NGPC) (the "Company") today announced that on Thursday, July 28, 2011, the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in Alden Resources, LLC ("Alden") and Gatliff Services, LLC ("Gatliff") to Globe Specialty Metals Inc. (NASDAQ: GSM) ("Globe") for cash proceeds totaling $73.2 million and a contingent cash "earn-out" payment of up to $6.8 million payable within three years. The contingent payment is dependent upon Alden's ability to achieve certain production and operating margin levels during the next three years.
Alden is a miner and processor of specialty coal marketed primarily to manufacturers of silicon metals. Gatliff owns a coal preparation plant that processes Alden's coal, and has recently completed significant upgrades to the plant. Globe is a producer of silicon metal and silicon-based alloys, and is one of Alden's largest customers.
"Our initial investment in Alden was made in January 2007, and since that time it has grown to be the largest investment in our portfolio", said Kelly Plato, the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. "The sale to Globe allowed us to realize a favorable return and represents a successful exit that will also provide us with greater flexibility and diversification in our portfolio as we reinvest the proceeds during the coming months".
Steve Gardner, the Company's President and CEO stated, "The successful resolution of our investment in Alden is the direct result of the hard work, skill and professionalism of our investment, accounting and treasury teams. I want to specifically recognize the dedication and perseverance of Chris Ryals and Aaron Killian, who were the investment team members most closely involved with the Alden investment".
As a result of this transaction, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company will recognize previously reserved interest income of $4.5 million attributable to Alden's Tranche B Term Loan, and net unrealized depreciation on investments totaling $9.8 million before income taxes. In July 2011, the Company will recognize interest and royalty income of approximately $2.1 million related to Alden and Gatliff, including the acceleration of original issue discount of $1.1 million. Also in July, the Company will record realized capital losses of approximately $3.7 million, with a corresponding decrease in unrealized depreciation of approximately the same amount.
