Joseph W. Craft III ("Craft") indirectly owns 20,641,168 Common Units of AHGP through his ownership of Alliance Resource GP, LLC for which he shares voting and dispositive power with Kathleen S. Craft.
Held through the JWC III Rev Trust, of which Mr. Craft is trustee.
These AHGP common units are held by certain current and former members of management of ARLP other than Mr. Craft with whom he may be deemed to comprise a group under Rule 13d-5(b) of the Exchange Act. Mr. Craft disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities.
These AHGP common units are held through Alliance Management Holdings III, LLC ("AMH III"), which acquired 600,000 Common Units of AHGP in connection with the AMH Liquidation and the AMH II Liquidation. Mr. Craft is the sole director of AMH III and owns 42.43% of the membership interests in AMH III. Mr. Craft disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein.
The units involved are subject to a Transfer Restrictions Agreement that, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13d-5(b), may cause the Management Group to comprise a group under Exchange Act Rule 13d-5(b). A special committee of the board of directors of Alliance GP, LLC, the general partner of AHGP, authorized the release of certain units from the restrictions of the Transfer Restrictions Agreement of each holder that is subject to the agreement. The units "disposed of" reflected in column 4 are units so released. Mr. Craft has not sold or otherwise disposed of any AHGP units.
AMH III entered into option agreements to sell 314,005 common units of AHGP for an exercise price of $30.00 per common unit, the options are exercisable from July 1, 2011 through July 1, 2013. AMH III received consideration of $3.36 per common unit for each option. The amounts shown represent the exercise of those options by individuals other than Mr. Craft. Mr. Craft is not selling these or any other AHGP units.
