<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As previously disclosed, on May&nbsp;2, 2008, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (&#147;MMLP&#148;, &#147;we&#148; or
&#147;our&#148;) received a copy of a petition filed in the District Court of Gregg County, Texas (the
&#147;Court&#148;), by Scott D. Martin (&#147;Scott Martin&#148;) against Ruben S. Martin, III (&#147;Ruben Martin&#148;) with
respect to certain matters relating to Martin Resource Management Corporation (&#147;MRMC&#148;), the parent
company of our general partner. Ruben Martin is an executive officer and director of both our
general partner and MRMC. Scott Martin is an executive officer of our general partner and MRMC and a
director of MRMC. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Ruben Martin breached a settlement
agreement with Scott Martin concerning certain MRMC matters. MMLP is not a party to the lawsuit
and the lawsuit does not assert any claims (i)&nbsp;against MMLP, (ii)&nbsp;concerning MMLP&#146;s governance or
operations, or (iii)&nbsp;against Ruben Martin with respect to his service as an officer or director of
our general partner.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May&nbsp;2009, the case went to trial, and on June&nbsp;18, 2009, the Court entered a judgment (the
&#147;Judgment&#148;) with respect to the lawsuit as further described below. In connection with the
Judgment, Ruben Martin has advised us that (i)&nbsp;until July&nbsp;20, 2009, either Ruben Martin or Scott
Martin may file motions to amend, alter, or set aside the Judgment, (ii)&nbsp;Ruben Martin intends to
file one or more such motions, and if such motions are overruled, he
intends to appeal the monetary award and the award of specific
performance contained in the Judgment, and (iii)&nbsp;on June 22, 2009, Scott Martin filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court
indicating his intent to appeal the Judgment. Ruben Martin has further advised us that on June&nbsp;30,
2009 he posted a cash deposit and that the posting of such deposit prevents the enforcement of any of the
provisions in the Judgment until the matter is resolved on appeal. Accordingly, during the
pendency of the appeal process no change in the makeup of the MRMC Board of Directors is expected.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Judgment
awarded Scott Martin monetary damages in the approximate amount of
$3.2 million, attorney&#146;s fees of approximately $1.6 million and interest. In addition, the Judgment grants specific performance and provides that Ruben
Martin is to (i)&nbsp;transfer one share of his MRMC common stock to Scott Martin, (ii)&nbsp;take such
actions, including the voting of any MRMC shares which Ruben Martin owns, controls or otherwise has the
power to vote, as are necessary to change the composition of the Board of Directors of MRMC from a
five-person board, currently consisting of Ruben Martin and Scott Martin as well as Wes Skelton,
Don Neumeyer, and Bob Bondurant (executive officers of MRMC and MMLP), to a four-person board to
consist of Ruben Martin and his designee and Scott Martin and his designee, (iii)&nbsp;take such actions
as are necessary to change the trustees of the MRMC Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the &#147;MRMC ESOP
Trust&#148;), currently consisting of Ruben Martin, Scott Martin and Wes Skelton, to just Ruben Martin
and Scott Martin. The Judgment is directed solely at Ruben Martin and is not binding on any other
officer, director or shareholder of MRMC or any trustee of a trust owning MRMC shares. The
Judgment with respect to (ii)&nbsp;above will terminate on February 17, 2010, and with respect to
(iii)&nbsp;above on the 30th day after the election by the MRMC shareholders of the first successor MRMC
board after February 17, 2010.
