Explanation of responses
- F1Represents the proportionate interest of the Reporting Person in 2,332,878 common units of StoneMor Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") issued and sold to StoneMor GP Holdings LLC ("GP Holdings") by the Partnership, which purchase was funded by the purchase of common units of GP Holdings (the "GP Holdings Units") by a trust for the pecuniary benefit of American Cemeteries Infrastructure Investors, LLC ("ACII") (collectively, the "Transaction").
- F2The Reporting Person is a member of GP Holdings.
- F3The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the common units except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
- F4The purchases reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on May 16, 2016.
- F5The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The common units were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $8.95-8.98 inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to StoneMor Partners L.P., any holder of common units of StoneMor Partners L.P., or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of common units purchased at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote (5) to this Form 4.
- F6These common units are held in a trust for the benefit of the reporting person's child. The reporting person's spouse is trustee of the trust.
- F7Each of the remaining members of GP Holdings has a preemptive right to purchase from ACII their respective pro rata share of the GP Holdings Units purchased by ACII in the Transaction, based on their respective ownership interests in GP Holdings prior to the Transaction. The purchase price of such GP Holdings Units upon exercise of the preemptive rights is the same purchase price paid for the GP Holdings Units by ACII in the Transaction (which translates to a price of $8.57 per underlying common unit of the Partnership).
- F8Represents the Reporting Persons's proportionate interest in the aggregate number of common units underlying the preemptive rights. If all holders of preemptive rights exercise their preemptive rights in full, the Reporting Persons's proportionate interest in the 2,332,878 common units held by GP Holdings will be 16,927 common units. If not all of the holders exercise their preemptive right, the remaining holders may purchase an over-allotment amount on a relative pro rata basis of those holders desiring an over-allotment amount.
