Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On April 7, 2008, TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., the general partner of TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) executed a Second Amendment to the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the “Amendment”), to be effective as of January 1, 2007. The Amendment is intended to simplify the preparation by the Partnership of annual federal income tax information reports (on Schedule K-1) to the unitholders. The Amendment modifies the income and loss allocations made between the general partner (including the general partner’s incentive distribution rights) and the Partnership’s unitholders after a follow-on offering of Partnership units. The Amendment is not expected to materially change the amount of net taxable income or loss allocated to the Partnership’s unitholders or the economic rights of the Partnership’s unitholders as compared to the general partner. A copy of the Amendment is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report and is incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.
