PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Over the past several months, management of Cypress Environmental Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) has been, and continues to be, focused on addressing the Partnership’s compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2018, by and among the Partnership, as borrower, certain affiliates of the Partnership, as co-borrowers and guarantors, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as lender, issuing bank, swing line lender and collateral agent, the other lenders from time to time party thereto, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which matures on May 31, 2022. The Partnership is in ongoing discussions with the lenders under the Credit Agreement regarding the extension of the maturity date. The Partnership recently received and is considering a proposal for a consensual process that includes retaining an investment bank to solicit investors regarding their interest in recapitalizing the Company. These efforts, which remain ongoing, have required significant amounts of management time that ordinarily would be devoted to preparation of the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) and related matters. Further, the terms of any forbearance, waiver or amendment or, in their absence, an acceleration of the outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement would materially affect the financial statements presented in the Annual Report and the disclosures set forth in the Annual Report. The issues described above, which have caused the Partnership to be unable to timely file the Annual Report, could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “expect,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our preliminary expectations as to revenue and net loss and our beliefs and expectations regarding the timing of the completion of the Partnership’s financial statements and the filing of the Form 10-K, all of which reflect the Partnership’s expectations based upon currently available information and data. Because such statements are based on the Partnership’s current expectations and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected or estimated and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Partnership’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Partnership disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
