statements are identified by words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;will&#148; or similar expressions. These forward-looking
statements and all references to the transaction described herein rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, including (i)&nbsp;the ability of the parties to consummate the transaction in
the anticipated timeframe or at all, including MRMC&#146;s ability to fund the aggregate merger consideration; risks related to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the transaction in the anticipated timeframe or at all; risks
related to obtaining the requisite regulatory approval and MMLP unitholder approval; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; significant transaction costs associated with the
transaction; and the risk of litigation and/or regulatory actions related to the transaction, (ii)&nbsp;uncertainties relating to MMLP&#146;s future cash flows and operations, (iii)&nbsp;MMLP&#146;s ability to pay future distributions,
(iv)&nbsp;future market conditions, (v)&nbsp;current and future governmental regulation, (vi)&nbsp;future taxation, and (vii)&nbsp;other factors, many of which are outside MMLP&#146;s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially
from such statements. While MMLP believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, it cautions that there are inherent difficulties in anticipating or predicting certain important factors. A discussion of these factors,
including risks and uncertainties, is set forth in MMLP&#146;s annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the SEC as well as MMLP&#146;s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on November&nbsp;27, 2024. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made, and MMLP disclaims any intention or obligation to revise any forward-looking statements, including financial estimates, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except
where required to do so by law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION </B></P>
