Item 7.01 Re gulation FD Disclosure

On May 18, 2020, the Registrant will hold its 2020 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners. As previously reported in the April 3, 2020 Notice of Annual Meeting, the Partnership will no longer hold an in-person meeting, and instead the Partnership will hold its 2020 Annual Meeting in a “live virtual” meeting format only, via webcast, at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DMLP2020.

The Partnership’s 2020 Annual Meeting slides are attached as Exhibit No. 99.1. The 2020 Annual Meeting will not include a live discussion of the slides, as the Partnership intends to host a live presentation at a later date. Management believes the opportunity for Unitholders to participate in a live discussion is appropriate and desirable.
