Pursuant to Stonepeak Catarina’s right under the Letter Agreement described in Amendment No. 9, on April 29, 2022, SP Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stonepeak Catarina and the sole member of the General Partner, provided notice to the Board of its election to receive the first quarter 2022 quarterly distribution on the Class C Preferred Units in the form of Common Units (in lieu of payment-in-kind Class C Preferred Units), pursuant to which Stonepeak Catarina will acquire 24,721,910 Common Units on May 20, 2022 (the “Q122 Distribution”).

Also on April 29, 2022, Stonepeak Catarina and the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Warrant to exclude from the Warrant the 3,708,287 Common Units included in the increase to the Issuer’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, effective March 6, 2015, resulting from the issuance of the Q122 Distribution. The foregoing description of Amendment No. 7 to the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of Amendment No. 7 to the Warrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit T hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with their regular review of their investment in the Issuer, and based on current market conditions and other factors, the Reporting Persons are currently evaluating strategic alternatives for their investment in the Issuer.  Towards that end, the Reporting Persons have engaged in and/or may engage in discussions and negotiations with, among others, members of the Issuer’s management, members of the Board, shareholders of the Issuer, advisors or other persons, regarding, among other things, the review and evaluation of strategic alternatives, Issuer operations, financial condition, governance and control, and other matters related to the Issuer. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans or make other proposals which may relate to or result in: (i) the purchase of additional securities of the Issuer or related derivatives of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (ii) the sale of all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer or related derivatives of the Issuer now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; (iii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, business combination, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) a purchase, sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (v) a change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (vi) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vii) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (viii) causing a class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or deregistered under the Act; or (ix) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.  Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and not rise to the level of a plan or proposal, and may be modified or withdrawn at any time.  Any transaction that the Reporting Persons may pursue may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons.
