Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about June 23, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the purchase of its outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”) in a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its credit agreement. The offering of the Notes is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Tender Offer. To the extent the Tender Offer is not completed or is completed but the Partnership purchases less than all of the 2027 Senior Notes in the Tender Offer, the Partnership intends to redeem any 2027 Senior Notes that remain outstanding on or about August 1, 2025.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute a notice of redemption or an offer to purchase the 2027 Senior Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer.

Some of the Initial Purchasers and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Partnership or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions. For example, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as the dealer manager for the Tender Offer and will receive certain fees in connection therewith. In addition, certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates may own a portion of the 2027 Senior Notes that are subject to the Tender Offer and accordingly may receive a portion of the proceeds from the offering. Certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates may be agents and/or lenders under the Partnership’s credit agreement. For example, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, is a lender, issuer of letters of credit and co-syndication agent under the credit agreement, and Bank of America, N.A., an affiliate of BofA Securities, Inc., is the administrative agent and a lender under the credit agreement.
