KNOT Offshore Partners LP Announces Results of Adjourned 2025 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners

January 5, 2026

ABERDEEN, Scotland -- KNOT Offshore Partners LP (NYSE:KNOP) (the Partnership) today announced that its adjourned 2025 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners was convened on January 5, 2026, but failed to reach the requisite quorum.

Given the passage of time from the record date of November 6, 2025 for determining unitholders entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting, a new record date and meeting date will be determined. Notice of the rescheduled meeting and proxy materials will be provided to unitholders of record as of the new record date when available.

About KNOT Offshore Partners LP
