On February 26, 2019, TLP entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the GP Merger Agreement) with TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the General Partner), pursuant to which the General Partner merged with and into TLP, with TLP continuing as the surviving entity (the GP Merger).
Under the terms of the GP Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the GP Merger, the outstanding membership interests of the General Partner were cancelled and extinguished for no consideration. The issued and outstanding membership interests of TLP were not converted or exchanged in any manner.
The GP Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the GP Merger Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about TLP, the General Partner, or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates.

At the effective time of the TLP Merger on February 26, 2019 (the Effective Time), each TLP common unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those held by Parent, TLP Holdings and Equity Holdings, was converted into the right to receive $41.00 in cash, without interest (the Merger Consideration). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each General Partner Unit automatically converted into (i) one Common Unit of TLP, and (ii) in aggregate, a non-economic general partner interest in TLP. The Incentive Distribution Rights in TLP issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time converted into 100 Common Units in TLP.
The foregoing description of the TLP Merger Agreement and the TLP Merger does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the TLP Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to TLPs Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 26, 2018, and is incorporated herein by reference.

To the extent applicable, the information included under Item 2.01 above and the information included under Item 5.03 below regarding the Certificate of Conversion, Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement is incorporated into this Item 3.03 by reference.
Pursuant to the TLP Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at the Effective Time, each outstanding TLP phantom unit issued pursuant to the TLP Management Services LLC 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the LTIP), if any, and the TLP Management Services LLC Amended and Restated Savings and Retention Plan (as amended, the SAR Plan), and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was treated as converted into a right to receive a cash payment in an amount
equal to $41.00 in cash (without interest and subject to tax withholding, if applicable), and (i) such amount to be covered compensation under the SAR Plan, and to vest and be payable in accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreement or letter (or the SAR Plan, if there is no separate award agreement or letter), and (ii) such amount to be adjusted from and after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the SAR Plan. At the Effective Time, the LTIP was terminated and from and after the Effective Time there is no obligation under the LTIP or the SAR Plan to grant or issue (and no outstanding awards providing for the grant or issuance of) any right with respect to Common Units or other Partnership Interests (as defined in the TLP Merger Agreement).

To the extent applicable, the information included under Item 2.01 above is incorporated into this Item 5.01 by reference.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements to Certain Officers.
In connection with the TLP Merger, at the Effective Time, Steven A. Blank, Barry E. Welch and Jay A. Wiese resigned as directors of the General Partner. The decision of each of Messrs. Blank, Welch and Wiese to resign as directors of the General Partner was not the result of any disagreement with the General Partner or TLP on any matter relating to the operations, internal controls, policies or practices of the General Partner or TLP, and was solely as a result of the TLP Merger.
In connection with the TLP Merger, the board of directors of the General Partner adopted resolutions to terminate the LTIP, effective as of the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, no equity awards or other rights with respect to Common Units or other Partnership Interests (as defined in the TLP Merger Agreement) will be granted or be outstanding under the LTIP.
As a result of the TLP Conversion, the business and affairs of TLP will be overseen by Parent as the sole managing member of TLP, rather than the General Partner, which oversaw the business and affairs of TLP as its general partner prior to the TLP Conversion. The executive officers of the General Partner immediately prior to the Conversion Effective Time will be the executive officers of TLP at the Conversion Effective Time.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On February 26, 2019, the Partnership filed a Certificate of Merger (the TLP Merger Certificate) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the DE Secretary of State) to effect the TLP Merger. Thereafter, to implement the TLP Conversion, TLP filed with the DE Secretary of State the Certificate of Conversion and, in its capacity as the sole and managing member of TLP, the Parent filed with the DE Secretary of State the Certificate of Formation.
At the Conversion Effective Time, TLP converted from a Delaware limited partnership to a Delaware limited liability company pursuant to a plan of conversion (the Plan of Conversion) and the Certificate of Formation and the Limited Liability Company Agreement of TLP became effective.
Immediately thereafter, TLP filed a Certificate of Merger (the GP Merger Certificate) with the DE Secretary of State to effect the GP Merger.
The foregoing description of the TLP Merger Certificate, the Certificate of Conversion, the Certificate of Formation, the Limited Liability Company Agreement and the GP Merger Certificate does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, respectively, to this Current Report and are incorporated by reference herein.
