Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 17, 2017, StoneMor Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) issued a press release announcing that the previously announced review of certain historical transactions undertaken by the Partnership remains ongoing and, as a result, the Partnership remains unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”), putting it in default under its revolving credit agreement. The press release also announced that the Partnership is working with the lenders to secure a waiver or other relief to extend the date by which the Form 10-K must be filed and will likely also seek a waiver or other relief from its lenders to extend the date by which its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 must be filed. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
