Caspian Capital has stopped its effort to acquire Martin Midstream Partners after the latter company backed out of a merger agreement Caspian opposed.
Caspian said Tuesday it welcomed natural gas distributor Martin Midstream's decision in December to terminate its merger agreement with Martin Resource Management.
Caspian, a wealth management company, reiterated a previously stated opinion that Martin Resource's offer of $3.05 a unit was lower than Martin Midstream's true value. In July, Caspian put in an offer of $4 a unit, and later upped it to $4.50 a unit.
Caspian said it also ended its work with Nut Tree Capital Management. The two companies had collaborated in December to urge unitholders to vote against the merger with Martin Resources.
