Genesis Energy Raises Distribution

Genesis Energy is lengthening its streak of unit holder payout increases. The company has declared its latest distribution, which is to be $0.5225 per unit paid on November 14 to shareholders of record as of November 1. That amount is $0.025, or 5%, higher than the preceding disbursement of $0.4975, which was paid in August. It is 11% higher than the $0.4725 handed out in November 2012.
