   <p align="left">STAMFORD, Conn., Oct.  26, 2017  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Star Group, L.P. (the &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;Star&#8221; or the &#8220;Partnership&#8221;) (NYSE:SGU), a home energy distributor and services provider, today announced that on October 25, 2017, at its special meeting, unitholders voted in favor of the previously-announced proposals to have the Company be treated as a corporation, instead of a partnership, for federal income tax purposes (commonly referred to as a &#8220;check-the-box&#8221; election) along with amendments to the Company&#8217;s partnership agreement to effect such changes in income tax classification. In addition, the Company changed its name, effective October 25, 2017, to Star Group, L.P., which will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker &#8220;SGU.&#8221; The name change was made to more closely align the Partnership&#8217;s name with the expanded scope of its products and services it offers.<br></p>    <p align="left">Star will remain a Delaware limited partnership, and the distribution provisions of the Partnership, including the incentive distributions, will not change.&#160;</p>    <p align="left"><strong>About Star Group, L.P.</strong><br>Star Group, L.P. is a full service provider specializing in the sale of home heating products and services to residential and commercial customers to heat their homes and buildings.
