Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. announced that as previously announced, the Board of Directors suspended the cash distribution to unitholders for the 2020 Quarter. While the company continue to believe that a sustainable distribution is an important contributor to long-term value for ARLP’s unitholders, strengthening and protecting its balance sheet is its immediate objective. Consequently, at its quarterly meeting last week, the Board extended the suspension of distributions through the quarter ending September 30, 2020. The Board will continue to evaluate economic conditions and intends to reassess its distribution decision following the third quarter of this year.
