At-the-Market Equity Program

17. At-the-Market Equity Program

On February 20, 2025, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., and Evercore Group L.L.C., each acting as a sales agent and/or principal (each, an “Agent,” and collectively, the “Agents”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Partnership may issue and sell from time to time, through the Agents, the Partnership’s Common Units having an aggregate offering amount of up to $100,000.

The Agents use their commercially reasonable efforts, as the sales agents and subject to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, to sell the Common Units offered. Sales of the Common Units were deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the New York Stock Exchange. The Partnership may also agree to sell Common Units to the Agents as principal for their own account on terms agreed to by the Partnership and the Agents. Each Agent will be entitled to a commission from the Partnership on the gross sales price per Common Unit sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement by such Agent acting as the Partnership’s sales agent.

During fiscal 2025, the Partnership issued 1,271,890 Common Units under the Equity Distribution Agreement for net proceeds of $23,459, after $1,058 of agent commissions and offering costs. The net proceeds from the sales of Common Units were used for general limited partnership purposes, including debt reduction and to fund strategic growth initiatives.
