On February 11, 2021, Sprague Resources Holdings LLC (“Sprague Holdings”), the sole owner of the incentive distribution rights of Sprague Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), provided notice to the Partnership that Sprague Holdings had made an IDR Reset Election (the “IDR Reset Election”), as defined in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”). Pursuant to the IDR Reset Election, Sprague Holdings will relinquish the right to receive incentive distribution payments based on the minimum quarterly and target cash distribution levels set at the time of the Partnership’s initial public offering and the Partnership will issue 3,107,248 common units to Sprague Holdings. Pursuant to the IDR Reset Election, the minimum quarterly distribution amount will be increased from $0.4125 per common unit per quarter to $0.6675 per common unit per quarter and the levels at which the incentive distribution rights participate in distributions will be reset at higher amounts based on current common unit distribution rates and a formula in the Partnership Agreement. The IDR Reset Election is expected to be consummated on March 5, 2021.
