Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
Effective August 28, 2020, Martin Operating Partnership L.P. (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the "Partnership"), entered into agreements with Robert D. Bondurant, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Martin Midstream GP LLC, the General Partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner"), Randall L. Tauscher, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the General Partner, and Chris H. Booth, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the General Partner (each, a "Named Executive Officer"), providing for the payment of a retention bonus in the amount of $100,000 to each of Messrs. Bondurant, Tauscher and Booth. The agreement to pay the foregoing retention bonuses is evidenced by the Company and each Named Executive Officer in separate agreements ("Retention Bonus Agreements"), the form of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Partnership's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. In all cases, the Retention Bonus Agreements provide for payment of the retention bonus to each Named Executive Officer, less applicable withholdings, within seven (7) days of the effective date of the Retention Bonus Agreement. All or a portion of the retention bonus is subject to clawback from such effective date through August 27, 2022 (the "Retention Period") by the Company and repayment by the Named Executive Officer if the Named Executive Officer voluntarily (i) terminates his employment with Martin Resource Management Corporation ("MRMC") or (ii) discontinues providing services to the Company during the Retention Period. If termination under either of these circumstances occurs on or before August 27, 2021, then 100% of the retention bonus shall be subject to clawback and repaid by the Named Executive Officer pursuant to a repayment schedule set forth in the Retention Bonus Agreement. If termination occurs on or after August 28, 2021 through August 27, 2022, then 50% of the retention bonus shall be subject to clawback and repaid by the Named Executive Officer within fourteen (14) days of termination. These agreements were approved by both the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the General Partner and by the Board of Directors of the General Partner.
