Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

On July 2, 2018, the Company entered into a fourth amended and restated revolving credit facility agreement with a bank syndicate of twelve participants, that enables us to borrow up to $300 million ($450 million during the heating season of December through April of each year) on a revolving line of credit for working capital purposes (subject to certain borrowing base limitations and coverage ratios), provides for a $100 million five-year senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”), allows for the issuance of up to $25 million in letters of credit, and extends the maturity date of the previous agreement to July 2, 2023. Proceeds from the new term loan were used to repay the $66.3 million outstanding balance of the existing term loan and $33.7 million of the revolving credit facility borrowings.

Consistent with the third amended and restated revolving credit facility, under the Company’s fourth amended and restated credit agreement, in order to repurchase Common Units we must maintain Availability of $45 million, 15.0% of the facility size of $300 million (assuming the non-seasonal aggregate commitment is outstanding) on a historical pro forma and forward-looking basis, and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.15 measured as of the date of repurchase.

Quarterly Distribution Declared

In July 2018, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.1175 per unit, or $0.47 per unit on an annualized basis, on all Common Units with respect to the third quarter of fiscal 2018, payable on August 7, 2018, to holders of record on July 30, 2018. The amount of distributions in excess of the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.0675 are distributed in accordance with our Partnership Agreement, subject to the management incentive compensation plan. As a result, $6.3 million will be paid to the Common Unit holders, $0.2 million to the General Partner unit holders (including $0.17 million of incentive distribution as provided in our Partnership Agreement) and $0.2 million to management pursuant to the management incentive compensation plan which provides for certain members of management to receive incentive distributions that would otherwise be payable to the General Partner.

Common Units Repurchased and Retired

In accordance with the Plan III common unit repurchase program, during July 2018 the Company repurchased and retired 0.1 million Common Units at an average price paid of $9.72 per unit.
