NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (the “Partnership” or “NGL”) announced today that it has redeemed all 12,473,191 of the remaining issued and outstanding 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units (“Class A Preferred Units”) for a total redemption price of $13.2385 per unit, calculated as 110% of $12.035 per unit (the Class A Preferred Unit Price), or $165.1 million in total, plus all accrued but unpaid and accumulated distributions to, but not including, the redemption date of May 11, 2019.

We appreciate the partnership with the Oaktree team and look forward to future opportunities for our firms to work together.”

“Mike, Trey and the entire NGL team have done a terrific job growing value for NGL’s unit holders through a particularly challenging market,” stated Jared Parker, co-portfolio manager of Oaktree’s Infrastructure Investing strategy. “We are pleased to have contributed to the company’s success. We value our partnership with NGL and look forward to continuing to work together on new opportunities.”
