|
|
Purpose of the Transaction
|
The MLP Fund (collectively with Mr. Swank, Swank Capital and MLP Advisors, the Reporting
Persons) purchased the Common Units based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were
undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Although the Reporting Persons
have no specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Units, consistent with their
investment purpose, the Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time may acquire additional
Common Units or dispose of any or all of their Common Units depending upon an ongoing evaluation of
the investment in the Common Units, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities,
liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations.
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Units was for investment, and the acquisition of
the Common Units was made in the ordinary course of business and was not made for the purpose of
acquiring control of the Issuer.
Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in
communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer
and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more
representatives or regulators of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including, but not limited to,
its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected, may result in any of
the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Units of the Issuer, an
extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer and/or changes in the board of directors
or management of the Issuer.
Page 7 of 10
In addition, effective as of June 29, 2011, Mr. Jerry V. Swank, managing member of Swank
Capital, and Mr. Daniel L. Spears, a Portfolio Manager at MLP Advisors, will join the board of
directors of the Issuer (the Board).
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons
have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in
paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. The
Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position
