Item 7.01.     Regulation FD Disclosure.

The Board of Directors of NGL Energy Partners LP’s (“NGL”) general partner has determined to suspend distributions on its 9.00% Class B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class B Preferred Units”) and 9.625% Class C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (“Class C Preferred Units”) and to maintain the previously announced suspension of distributions on its Common Units in accordance with the restricted payment covenants of the indenture for NGL’s senior secured notes due in 2026.

The quarterly distributions on NGL’s Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units have been suspended beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2021 and distributions on NGL’s Common Units have been suspended beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2020. As required under the terms of the Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units, unpaid distributions will continue to accrue at the rates prescribed to them.

The Board of Directors will maintain the suspension on distributions to the Common Units and the Class B Preferred Units and Class C Preferred Units until the Board of Directors deems it prudent to resume distributions and such distributions are consistent with the terms of the Partnership’s various debt agreements.
