LISLE, Ill., Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: SXCP) announced today that it and its wholly owned subsidiary, SunCoke Energy Partners Finance Corp. ("Finance Corp." and together, the "Issuers"), intend to offer to eligible purchasers an additional $70 million aggregate principal amount of their 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the "New Notes"). The New Notes are being offered as additional notes under an indenture pursuant to which the Issuers previously issued $630 million aggregate principal amount in May 2017.

SXCP intends to use the net proceeds received from this offering to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

The New Notes may be resold by the initial purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
