Following extensive negotiations, the Conflicts Committee unanimously and in good faith determined that the merger transaction with Martin Resource Management Corporation (&#8220;MRMC&#8221;) is fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, MMLP and the unaffiliated holders of the MMLP common units.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The transaction provides an attractive premium valuation to MMLP unitholders, whereby each holder of the common units other than MRMC and its subsidiaries would receive $4.02 per common unit owned, representing a 34.00% premium to the market closing price prior to MRMC&#8217;s initial proposal made on May 24, 2024, and an 11.33% premium to the trailing 30-trading day volume-weighted average price as of October 3, 2024, the date the merger agreement was executed.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div style="text-indent:36pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Notably, the proposals submitted by Nut Tree and Caspian never represented a credible alternative or viable path forward.
