Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The information in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement described in Item 4 of this Amendment No.7 (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference), New Resources funded the Merger through a combination of cash on hand, dividend flows, income from dividends, contributions from its parent entities and the proceeds of a $110 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) by and among New Resources and (i) each of New Resources’ subsidiaries (including the Issuer and each of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, other than Sisecam Wyoming LLC (“SWY”) and SWY’s subsidiaries), as guarantors, (ii) Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent, (iii) Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and Societe Generale, as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, and (iv) several other banks, financial institutions, institutional investors and other entities party thereto.

The foregoing description of the Term Loan Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Term Loan Facility, which is attached hereto as Exhibit M and incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The information in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On May 26, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer surviving and continuing to exist as a Delaware limited partnership.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Issuer became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership GP and New Wyoming. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding common unit of the Issuer (the “Common Units”), other than those held by New Wyoming and its permitted transferees (the “Parent Units”), was converted into the right to receive $25.00 per Common Unit in cash without any interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). Each issued and outstanding Parent Unit, each issued and outstanding Incentive Distribution Right (as defined in the (as defined in the Issuer’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of September 18, 2013 (as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”) in the Issuer, and the Partnership GP’s general partner interest in the Issuer was not cancelled, was not converted into (and did not entitle the holder thereof to receive) Merger Consideration, and remained outstanding following the Merger.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Issuer (i) notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Certificate of Merger relating to the Merger had been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and had become effective as of the Effective Time and (ii) requested that the NYSE file a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 with the SEC to delist and deregister the Common Units under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The trading of Common Units was suspended before the opening of trading on the Closing Date. Additionally, the Issuer intends to file a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act with the SEC requesting the suspension of the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Consequently, this Amendment No. 7 constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
