KNOT Offshore Partners LP Announces that Unitholders Remain Unaffected by U.S. Internal Revenue Service Regulations Effective January 1, 2023

KNOT Offshore Partners LP (NYSE:KNOP) (“the Partnership”) today announced that the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) final regulations concerning publicly traded partnerships that are taxed as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“PTP”) that are coming into effect on January 1, 2023, will not affect its unitholders.

These regulations oblige brokers, withholding agents and qualified intermediaries to withhold a 10% tax on a non-U.S. partner’s disposition of an interest in a PTP. As a result, certain non-U.S. brokers may not permit non-U.S. persons to hold such PTP interests in their brokerage account.

KNOP elects to be treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore interests in the Partnership are not subject to these regulations.
