A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Partnership pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended [(the “Securities Act”)], or the Exchange Act, other than to the extent that such filing incorporates any or all of such information by express reference thereto.

In addition to the information described in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Press Release also reported the Partnership’s belief that it should have at least $25 million of availability under the Partnership’s credit facility, which would represent a leverage ratio of approximately 3.75:1.0, and that, accordingly, the Partnership may need to preserve its operating cash and manage its leverage for a few more quarters by not making distributions.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing made by the Partnership pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, other than to the extent that such filing incorporates any or all of such information by express reference thereto.
