Neutral Impact 3 of 5 product/contract Written later

Alliance Resource Partners disclosed a Master Supply, Distribution and Services Agreement, dated July 1, 2026, between its subsidiary Matrix Design Africa and Saminco Solutions LLC. The Supplier is affiliated with Joseph W. Craft III, who leads the managing general partner, so the deal is a related-party transaction that the Conflicts Committee approved and determined to be fair and reasonable to unitholders.
