Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 29, 2015, Sprague Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) issued a press release announcing that the Board of Directors of its general partner, Sprague Resources GP LLC, has declared a cash distribution of $0.4875 per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

The distribution will be paid on August 14, 2015 to unitholders of record as of the close of business August 10, 2015. A copy of the Partnership’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference.

This release is intended to be a qualified notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b).

Accordingly, the Partnership’s distributions to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest applicable effective tax rate.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the above information and the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K are being furnished under Items 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and exhibit be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
