Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), (i) each outstanding common unit representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (each, a "Common Unit") other than Common Units owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, including P66 Company and P66 PDI (each, a "Public Common Unit"), will be converted into the right to receive 0.50 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock" and the shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, the "Merger Consideration"), and (ii) (a) each Partnership LTIP Award (as defined in the Merger Agreement), other than Director LTIP Awards (as defined in the Merger Agreement), whether vested or not, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will cease to relate to or represent any right to receive Common Units and will be converted, at the Effective Time, into an equivalent award of Parent RSUs (as defined in the Merger Agreement), adjusted by the Exchange Ratio, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Partnership LTIP Award, including any applicable payment timing provisions and dividend equivalent rights, as applicable, except as otherwise adjusted by the Merger Agreement and (b) each Director LTIP Award (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall become fully vested and shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, with respect to each Common Unit subject thereto, the Merger Consideration (or, to the extent set forth under the terms of the applicable Director LTIP Award, cash in an amount equal to the value of the Merger Consideration determined based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock as of the closing date) (plus any accrued but unpaid amounts in relation to distribution equivalent rights). In connection with the Merger, (i) the General Partner's non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership and (ii) the Common Units owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, including P66 Company and P66 PDI, shall not be cancelled, shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration and shall remain outstanding following the Merger as a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership and as Common Units, respectively.

The Conflicts Committee (the "Conflicts Committee") of the board of directors of the General Partner (the "GP Board") has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are in the best interests of the Partnership and the holders of Public Common Units, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (iii) recommended that the GP Board approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and resolve to direct that the Merger Agreement be submitted to a vote of the limited partners of the Partnership (the "Limited Partners") for approval. The GP Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Conflicts Committee) has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are in the best interests of the Partnership and the Limited Partners, (ii) authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, (iii) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to a vote of the Limited Partners and (iv) authorized the Limited Partners to act by written consent pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R Partnership Agreement (as defined below).

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership

On October 26, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the General Partner executed and delivered Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (as amended, the "Third A&R Partnership Agreement" and the amendment related thereto, the "LPA Amendment"), which was adopted and became effective on such date. Among other things, the LPA Amendment provides for the automatic conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Units into Common Units upon the occurrence of a Partnership Rollup Event (as defined in the Third A&R Partnership Agreement) that does not constitute a Series A Cash Change of Control (as defined in the Third A&R Partnership Agreement).

The foregoing summary of the LPA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securityholders.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, the GP Board authorized the Limited Partners to act by written consent pursuant to the terms of the Third A&R Partnership Agreement in order to provide their approval for the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger , and the LPA Amendment. The GP Board set October 26, 2021 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining the Limited Partners entitled to execute and deliver written consents approving the Merger Agreement, the LPA Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement and the LPA Amendment, P66 PDI, which as of the Record Date held 169,760,137 Common Units, representing approximately 70.21% of the outstanding Common Units and Series A Preferred Units (on an as-converted basis), delivered the Written Consents and Stonepeak Screwdriver SPV LLC, which as of the Record Date held 11,608,624 Series A Preferred Units, representing approximately 84% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units, delivered a written consent approving the LPA Amendment (the "Stonepeak Consent"). The Merger Written Consent was sufficient to approve the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and the LPA Written Consent together with the Stonepeak Consent were sufficient to approve the LPA Amendment.
