Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 1, 2020, Enviva Development Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("DevCo"), Enviva Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership"), and Enviva Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Sponsor") consummated the transactions contemplated by the previously announced Contribution Agreement, dated June 18, 2020 (the "Contribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, DevCo contributed to the Partnership all of the limited liability company interests in Enviva Pellets Greenwood Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Greenwood Holdings II") and indirect owner of a wood pellet production plant in Greenwood, South Carolina (the "Greenwood plant"), for total consideration of $132.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, which the Partnership paid in part to DevCo and in part to satisfy certain payment obligations of DevCo (such transaction, the "Greenwood Drop-Down"). In addition, Greenwood Holdings II's liabilities included a $40.0 million, third-party promissory note bearing interest at 2.5% per year that the Partnership guaranteed at closing.
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and the Greenwood Drop-Down, the Sponsor assigned five biomass off-take agreements to the Partnership (collectively, the "Associated Off-Take Contracts"). The Associated Off-Take Contracts call for aggregate annual deliveries of 1.4 million metric tons per year ("MTPY"), mature between 2031 and 2041 and have an aggregate revenue backlog of $5.3 billion. The Sponsor also assigned two fixed-rate shipping contracts and partially assigned two additional fixed-rate shipping contracts to the Partnership. The Associated Off-Take Contracts were assigned to fully contract wood pellets produced by the Greenwood plant and by a separate third-party plant to be acquired by the Partnership to the Partnership's customers. The shipping contracts were assigned to facilitate transportation of those produced wood pellets.
The Greenwood plant is currently permitted to produce approximately 500,000 MTPY of wood pellets and transports its production via rail service to the Partnership's terminal at the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina.
The Partnership plans to invest $28.0 million to expand the Greenwood plant's production capacity to 600,000 MTPY by the end of 2021, subject to receiving the necessary permits.
Make-Whole Agreement
On July 1, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Greenwood Drop-Down, the Partnership and the Sponsor entered into a Make-Whole Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor will reimburse the Partnership for any construction cost incurred for the planned expansion project in excess of $28.0 million.
Management Services Fee Waiver
On July 1, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Greenwood Drop-Down, the Partnership and Enviva Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Enviva Management") and wholly owned subsidiary of the Sponsor, entered into an agreement pursuant to which (i) an aggregate of approximately $37.0 million in management services and other fees that otherwise would be owed by the Partnership under the Partnership's management services agreement with Enviva Management will be waived with respect to the period from the closing of the Greenwood Drop-Down through the fourth quarter of 2021 and (ii) Enviva Management will continue to waive certain management services and other fees during 2022 unless and until the Greenwood plant's production volumes equal or exceed 50,000 metric tons in any calendar month, in each case, to provide cash flow support to the Partnership during the planned expansion project.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth above in Item 1.01 with respect to the consummation of the Greenwood Drop-Down is incorporated herein by reference. The amount and composition of the consideration for the Greenwood Drop-Down was approved by a conflicts committee (the "Conflicts Committee") consisting of the independent members of the board of directors (the "Board") of Enviva Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership. The Conflicts Committee retained legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the Contribution Agreement. In approving the terms of the Contribution Agreement, the Conflicts Committee based its decision in part on an opinion from its independent financial advisor that the consideration to be paid by the Partnership for the Greenwood Drop-Down is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partnership and the Unaffiliated Common Unitholders (as defined in such opinion).
