TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Pursuant to a Common Unit Purchase Agreement dated December 20, 2006, Martin Midstream
Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) sold and issued 470,484 common units, representing limited
partnership interests in the Partnership, to Martin Resource Management Corporation, the owner of
the Partnership’s general partner. The Partnership received proceeds of approximately $15.3
million, including a capital contribution of approximately $0.3 million made by the Partnership’s
general partner in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. Proceeds
from this transaction will be used to repay a portion of indebtedness under the Partnership’s
existing credit facility. The common units were priced at $31.88 per unit, based on the average
closing price of the Partnership’s common units on the Nasdaq during the ten trading days ending on
