NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE:NGL) (the “Partnership” or “NGL”) announced

outstanding 10.75% Class A Convertible Preferred Units (“Class A
Preferred Units”) for a total redemption price of $13.2385 per unit,

years, including the participation of Jared Parker on our Board of

Grand Mesa Pipeline and manage a very challenging industry cycle. 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,”

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.”

Oaktree will no longer hold Board representation rights and NGL has
accepted Mr. Parker’s resignation from the Board of Directors of the
