Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Calumet Shreveport Refining, LLC (“Calumet Shreveport”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, is party to the Supply and Offtake Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2017 (the “Supply Agreement”) with Macquarie Energy North America Trading Inc. (“Macquarie”). As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K dated November 15, 2017, Macquarie had consented to permit the Partnership to deliver its unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 (the “3Q Financial Statements”) on or before December 15, 2017. However, the Partnership expects to be unable to deliver the 3Q Financial Statements by such extended date due to financial reporting difficulties caused by the implementation of an enterprise resource planning system.

Effective December 12, 2017, Macquarie consented in writing to postpone the due date for delivery of the 3Q Financial Statements until December 31, 2017.
