Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
          On November 14, 2006, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) paid to the holders of its common and subordinated units a cash distribution of $0.61 per unit for the third quarter of 2006. Immediately following payment of this cash distribution, 850,672 of the Partnership’s subordinated units held by Martin Product Sales LLC, Martin Resource LLC and Midstream Fuel Service LLC were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into 850,672 common units of the Partnership. The conversion occurred pursuant to the terms of the Partnership’s Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) as a result of the Partnership’s achievement of certain financial goals set forth in the Partnership Agreement. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the converted subordinated units are to be allocated among the existing holders of the subordinated units on a pro rata basis based on the number of subordinated units held by each such holder. The common units into which the subordinated units have been converted are being issued in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
