Genesis Energy, L.P. (NYSE:GEL) today announced that the underwriters of its previously announced registered public offering of common units have exercised their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional common units in full.

All closing conditions for the acquisition, other than those that are to be satisfied at the closing of the acquisition, have been satisfied or waived.
