Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: MMLP ; the &#147;Partnership&#148; or &#147;MMLP&#148; ) announced today that it has signed a
definitive agreement to acquire the operating assets of A &#038; A Fertilizer, Ltd. (&#147;A &#038; A&#148;) for a
total estimated purchase price of $6.0&nbsp;million, after adjustments for working capital and other
adjustments. A &#038; A is a manufacturer and distributor of liquid sulfur based fertilizer products to
the continental United States. The A &#038; A manufacturing facility is located at the Partnership&#146;s

feedstocks used in these new product lines. In addition, we expect to benefit from an overall
reduction in certain operating and administrative costs as a result of this asset acquisition.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Upon full integration of the A&#038;A assets, MMLP expects the transaction to be accretive to its
