Quarterly Distribution Declared

On January 19, 2012, the Partnership 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 first quarter of fiscal 2012 payable on February 7, 2012, to holders of record on January 30, 2012. 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, $4.8 million was paid to the common unit holders, $0.06 million was paid to the General Partner and $0.03 million was paid to management pursuant to the management incentive compensation plan.
