The Partnership has general partner and limited partner units. At December 31, 2019, the Partnership had a total of 43,700,000 common units issued and outstanding and 107,815,152 Class B units issued and outstanding, of which no common units and 107,815,152 Class B units were owned by Diamondback, representing approximately 71% of the Partnership’s total units outstanding. The Operating Company units and the Partnership’s Class B units owned by Diamondback are exchangeable from time to time for the Partnership’s common units (that is, one Operating Company unit and one Partnership Class B unit, together, will be exchangeable for one Partnership common unit).

At the closing of the Partnership’s IPO, the board of directors of the General Partner adopted a policy pursuant to which the Partnership will pay, to the extent legally available, cash distributions of $0.25 per common unit to common unitholders of record on the applicable record date within 60 days after the end of each quarter beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2019. The Partnership’s first distribution was prorated for the period from the closing of the IPO through September 30, 2019. On February 13, 2020, the board of directors of the General Partner revised the cash distribution policy to provide that the Partnership will pay, to the extent legally available, cash distributions of $0.29 per common unit to common unitholders of record on the applicable record date after the end of each quarter beginning the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The board of directors of the General Partner may change the Partnership’s distribution policy at any time and from time to time. The partnership agreement (discussed below) does not require the Partnership to pay cash distributions on the Partnership’s common units on a quarterly or other basis.
