On February 11, 2021, in connection with the Consent Solicitation, the Issuers, certain subsidiary guarantors and the Trustee entered into the Third Supplemental Indenture (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”, together with the Third Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures”) to the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, respectively, to adopt certain amendments to allow the Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

On February 12, 2021, Calumet Shreveport Refining, LLC (“Calumet Shreveport”), a subsidiary of the Partnership, entered into an Act of Sale and Deimmobilization and a Master Lease Agreement (together with Property Schedule No. 1 thereto, the “Lease Agreement”) with Stonebriar Commercial Finance LLC (“Stonebriar”) related to a sale and leaseback transaction (the “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) whereby Calumet Shreveport sold and leased back certain of its property comprising the Shreveport refinery fuels terminal, truck rack and related piping and equipment for consideration of approximately $70 million.
