The merger, which would have resulted in MRMC acquiring all outstanding MMLP common units not already owned by MRMC and its subsidiaries, was terminated by mutual consent with approval from the Conflicts Committee.

MMLP will continue operating as a standalone publicly traded company. The special meeting of unitholders scheduled for December 30, 2024, has been cancelled, and the proposals in MMLP's definitive proxy statement filed on November 27, 2024, have been withdrawn.

Nut Tree Capital Management and Caspian Capital, holding approximately 13.6% of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (MMLP) common units, have issued a letter urging unitholders to vote 'AGAINST' the proposed merger with Martin Midstream Resource (MRMC). The merger, valued at $4.02 per common unit, is scheduled for consideration at a unitholder meeting on December 30, 2024. The investors claim MMLP has made false and misleading statements to push through the merger, which they argue would enrich Ruben Martin and MRMC at the expense of other MMLP unitholders.
