Item 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under An Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

On April 20, 2016, Emerge Energy Services LP (the “Partnership”) notified PNC Bank, National Association (the “Agent”) of an event of default under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated July 27, 2014, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries, the Agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), as a result of the Partnership’s failure to maintain compliance with the financial covenant requiring the Partnership to maintain $25 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.

The Partnership, Agent and Lenders are currently in advanced discussions to obtain a waiver regarding this event of default and to otherwise arrive at a long-term solution to the Partnership’s liquidity requirements, including the reduction of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility through the possible sale of its fuels business, as previously disclosed. The Partnership expects that it will be able to continue to use the Credit Agreement to fund operations and that it will achieve an expeditious solution. However, the Partnership can give no assurance as to the success of any potential alternative solution, or that the Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement will not be accelerated due to the event of default.
