Subsequent Events | 19) Subsequent Events Acquisition In the first two months of fiscal 2012, the Partnership purchased the customer lists and assets of two home heating oil, propane and diesel dealerships for an aggregate cost of approximately $24.1 million, including working capital of $4.5 million. Quarterly Distribution Declared On October 25, 2011, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.0775 per unit, or $0.31 per unit on an annualized basis, on all common units in respect of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 payable on November 14, 2011 to holders of record on November 4, 2011. In accordance with our Partnership Agreement, the amount of distributions in excess of the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.0675, are distributed 90% to the holders of common units and 10% to the holders of the general partner units (until certain distribution levels are met), subject to the management incentive compensation plan. As a result, $5.0 million was paid to the common unit holders, $0.06 million was paid to the general partners and $0.04 million was paid to management pursuant to the management incentive compensation plan.
