Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. Announces First Quarter 2015 Distribution

Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:SXE) (“Southcross” or the “Partnership”) today announced that the board of directors of its general partner has declared a cash distribution for the first quarter of 2015 of $0.40 per common unit. The distribution will be paid on May 14, 2015 to unitholders of record on May 8, 2015.

In addition, the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner declared a $0.3257 per unit distribution for the first quarter of 2015 on the Partnership’s Class B convertible units. The distribution on the Class B convertible units will be paid in the form of additional Class B convertible units.

As previously announced, to support the Partnership’s acquisition of certain assets from TexStar Midstream Services LP in August 2014, Southcross Holdings LP, the owner of the Partnership’s general partner and all of the Partnership’s subordinated units, elected to forgo distributions on any subordinated units that would cause the Partnership’s distributions to exceed its distributable cash flow for any quarterly period. This election will continue until the Partnership has distributable cash flow in excess of total distributions on the Partnership’s common and subordinated units. To the extent that distributable cash flow for the first quarter 2015 exceeds the total of the common and cash pay general partner unit distributions, Southcross intends to make a cash distribution with respect to the subordinated units up to the amount of the distributable cash flow available. The amount of subordinated unit distributions, if any, will be calculated in conjunction with Southcross’ filing of its Form 10-Q which is expected to take place on or before May 11, 2015.
