Amendments to Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws |
On April 15, 2008, Calumet GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Calumet
Specialty Products Partners, L.P., (the “Partnership”) executed Amendment No. 2 to the First
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the “Amendment”), to be
effective as of January 1, 2007. The Amendment is intended to simplify the preparation by the
Partnership of annual federal income tax information reports to its unitholders on Schedule K-1 and
modifies the income and loss allocations (including allocations relating to incentive distribution
rights) made between the General Partner and the Partnership’s unitholders after a follow-on
offering of Partnership units. The Amendment is not expected to materially change the amount of net
taxable income or loss allocated to the Partnership’s unitholders or the economic rights of the
Partnership’s unitholders as compared to the allocations or economic rights of the General Partner.
A copy of the Amendment is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report and is incorporated into this
Item 5.03 by reference.
