Simplification Transaction

Prior to June 28, 2019, SunCoke owned a 60.4 percent limited partner interest in SunCoke Energy Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") as well as our 2.0 percent general partner interest. The remaining 37.6 percent limited partner interest in the

Partnership was held by public unitholders. On June 28, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common units of the Partnership not already owned by SunCoke (the "Simplification Transaction"). Following the completion of the Simplification Transaction, the Partnership became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunCoke, the Partnership common units ceased to be publicly traded and the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights were eliminated. As of January 1, 2020, the Partnership merged with and into SunCoke Energy Partners Finance Corp. ("Finance Corp."), which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The following table summarizes the effects of the changes in the Company's ownership interest in the Partnership on SunCoke's equity:
