Financial Metrics
This filing is a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding a corporate governance and legal structure change.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
- Legal Jurisdiction: The Partnership is now governed by the Texas Business Organizations Code (TBOC) instead of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
- Governing Documents: The Delaware Partnership Agreement has been replaced by the Texas Partnership Agreement.
- Continuity: The Partnership is deemed the same entity without interruption. All property, debts, obligations, and liabilities remain vested in the entity. All unitholders, options, warrants, and employee benefit plans converted automatically to the Texas entity with the same terms.
- Trading and Identification: No change occurred to the CUSIP, trading symbol (USAC), or federal tax identification number.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management asserts that the rights and obligations of unitholders under the new Texas Partnership Agreement are substantially the same as those under the prior Delaware agreement. The change was made to align the legal domicile with the company's principal executive offices in Dallas, Texas.
Updated Risk Factors: The filing includes updated risk factors (Exhibit 99.1) to reflect the change in governing law and jurisdiction. Specifically, legal claims regarding the partnership agreement or state law must now be brought exclusively in the Business Court in the First Business Court Division of the State of Texas, rather than the Court of Chancery in Delaware.
Unusual Items: None. The transaction was a standard statutory conversion.
