This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including statements regarding the deregistration of the Common Units under the Exchange Act, the Partnership’s status as a public reporting company and its obligations to file various reports with the SEC. Words and phrases such as “expect,” “plan,” “intent,” “believes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “subject to” and similar expressions are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relating to the Partnership are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about the Partnership, its interests, market conditions, and the energy industry in general on the date this press release was issued. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include those factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Partnership’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Partnership’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The Partnership provides no assurance with respect to whether any market for the common units will be maintained or any price at which the common units may trade. Investors are cautioned that trading unregistered securities quoted on the OTC Pink Market is more limited, subject to greater liquidity risk and additional restrictions than trading registered securities listed on a national securities exchange. Investing in unregistered securities is not suitable for all investors. Investors should consult their own attorneys, accountants and/or other advisors as to the legal, tax, regulatory, accounting, economic and related aspects of investment in unregistered securities and its suitability for them.
