Shares of Martin Midstream Partners climbed in post-market trading after the company said it is selling itself to Martin Resource Management at a premium price.
The stock was up 10% to $3.06. Through Thursday's close, shares have surged 50% since the beginning of the year.
The natural gas distribution company said Martin Resource will acquire all of its outstanding common units it doesn't already own in an all-cash transaction.
Martin Resource will pay $4.02 per unit, representing a 34% premium to Martin Midstream Partners' closing price prior to the company's initial proposal, made on May 24.
The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.
