The Partnership’s common units commenced trading on the OTC Pink Market on November 16, 2023. The Partnership expects its common units to trade under the symbol “USDP.” The Partnership is under no obligation to develop or maintain a market in the common units. The Partnership cannot provide assurance that its common units will continue to trade on the OTC Pink Market, that brokers will continue to provide public quotes of the Partnership’s common units, that a market for the Partnership’s common units will develop or be maintained, or that the trading volume of the Partnership’s common units will be sufficient enough to generate an efficient trading market. Holders of common units may not be able to sell or otherwise transfer such common units.

Please refer to “Risk Factors - If we cannot regain compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards or we fail to maintain compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards, the NYSE will delist our common units, which could negatively affect us, the price of our common units and our unitholders’ ability to sell our common units. Based on the current price of our common units, we expect the NYSE will suspend our common units from trading on or about November 17, 2023 and immediately initiate delisting procedures.” under Item 1A of the Partnership Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as filed with the SEC on November 7, 2023.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including statements regarding the impact of the Partnership’s inability to remain in compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards; the timing of any process involving the any delisting of the common units; and the timing, nature and impact the common units’ trading on the OTC Pink Market. Words and phrases such as “expect,” “plan,” “intent,” “believes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “subject to” and similar expressions are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relating to the Partnership are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about the Partnership, its interests, market conditions, and the energy industry in general on the date this press release was issued. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include actions by NYSE Regulation, brokers and other third parties, equity market conditions, and those factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Partnership’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Partnership’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
