Item 8.01. Other Events.

Effective February 22, 2021, in connection with making the distribution decision for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, all of the members of the board of directors of Ciner Resource Partners LLC, our general partner, approved a continuation of the suspension of quarterly distributions to our unitholders in an effort to achieve greater financial and liquidity flexibility as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Management and the board of directors of our general partner will continue to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether it is appropriate to reinstate a distribution to our unitholders, which will depend in part on our cash reserves, liquidity, total debt levels and anticipated capital expenditures.
