Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed 2026-04-02 (appears timely).
- Sale/disposition: 2,372 Common Units @ $17.88 = $42,411.
- Derivative activity: conversion/exercise entries for 2,372 units (price N/A) and a grant of 2,286 phantom units (award).
- Footnotes:
- Phantom units are cash-settled and their cash payment is treated as a disposition of phantom units in exchange for the underlying Common Units and an immediate disposition of those underlying units to the issuer (F1, F2, F5).
- Phantom units are paid in cash based on the 20-day average closing price before vesting (F2, F5).
- The award includes tandem distribution-equivalent rights accruing quarterly over the vesting period (F6).
- Several Common Units reported may be held indirectly by related trusts; the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership beyond any pecuniary interest (F3, F4).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
Context
- This looks like a cash settlement/cashless conversion of phantom/derivative units followed by an immediate disposition to the issuer, rather than an open-market sale — a common form of compensation settlement, not necessarily a market-driven sell signal.
- The filing also records a new grant of phantom units (cash-settled awards) that will pay based on a 20-trading-day average price when they vest.
- No indication in the filing excerpt that this was a gift, 10b5-1 plan, or late filing.
