July 18, 2008 8:35 AM EDT

Citi downgrades SemGroup Energy Partners LP (Nasdaq: SGLP) from Buy to Hold. Price target lowered from $32 to $14.

Citi analyst says, "After the close SGLP issued a press release confirming that its general partner was experiencing liquidity issues and is exploring various alternatives including a potential reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code...While a significant liquidity event such as this does not directly translate to SGLP, the general partner makes up for ~80% of SGLP's cash flows as a result of throughput and terminal agreements it has with the partnership. Because SGLP derives a substantial majority of its cash flows from the general partner, a significant liquidity event at the general partner increases SGLP's counterparty risk."

SemGroup Energy Partners, L.P. (SemGroup Energy Partners) owns, operates and develops a portfolio of midstream energy assets.
