We welcome Mr. Jerry Kalogiratos to lead the Partnership to its next phase. The Board and I have worked successfully with Jerry over the past eight years. Jerry has been involved in the day-to-day operations of the Partnership and in all its asset and financing transactions since the Partnership’s 2007 IPO. We have great confidence in Jerry’s skills and ability to execute our growth strategy that aims to further increase our distributions.”
