Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 8.01 Other Events
     On May 15, 2007, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. (the “Underwriter”) in connection with an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,200,000 of its common units (“Common Units”) at a price of $42.25 per Common Unit before an underwriting discount of $1.527 per unit. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership has granted the underwriters a 30 day option to purchase up to an additional 180,000 Common Units to cover any over-allotments in connection with the Offering. The Common Units to be sold in the Offering have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Partnership’s existing shelf registration statement (File No. 333-117023). The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on May 18, 2007, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Partnership will use the anticipated net proceeds of $49.8 million from the Offering, plus up to an additional $7.5 million if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full, to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness incurred under its revolving loan facility to fund both $50.0 million in recent acquisitions and $72.3 million in recent expansion capital expenditures. This net proceeds amount includes a capital contribution from the Partnership's general partner of approximately $1.0 million to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership.
     A copy of the prospectus supplement and related base prospectus for the Offering may be obtained from A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., One North Jefferson, St. Louis, Missouri 63103, Telephone 800-278-5373.
     Neither this Current Report, nor the attached press release, constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Offering is being made only by means of a prospectus and related prospectus supplement.
     The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. In addition, filed herewith are certain legal opinions issued by Baker Botts L.L.P. in connection with the Offering.
