Ocean Park Advises on Sale of Terra Biodiesel Holding’s Biodiesel Plant

July 20, 2016 – Terra Biodiesel Holding, LLC (“Terra”) closed the sale of its biodiesel plant located in St. Joseph, Missouri to an undisclosed strategic buyer. Ocean Park Advisors (“OPA”) acted as exclusive advisor to the seller.

“OPA was instrumental in developing both operating and sales strategies,” said David Warfield, partner of Thompson Coburn LLP, who represented Terra. “Their Mergers and Acquisitions expertise, under-standing of the biodiesel sector and industry relationships contributed to this successful transaction.”

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The assets include a biodiesel refinery situated on an approximately 13-acre parcel of land. The sale also includes a license agreement for certain production technologies.

“This sale marks the twenty-first successful biofuels transaction for Ocean Park, which further solidifies our position as a leading advisor in the renewable fuels and chemicals industries,” said Bruce Comer, an Ocean Park managing director.

“We are extremely pleased with the successful closing. The biodiesel industry has strong momentum and is being consolidated into stronger hands as we move forward,” added John Campbell, another Ocean Park managing director.
