The address of the principal office for each of the Reporting Persons is 717 Fifth Avenue, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10022.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
A total of approximately $350,000,010 was paid to acquire the 19,444,445 Preferred Units reported herein, which are convertible into the Common Units as described more fully in Item 4 of
 
 

SCHEDULE 13D
 
 
Page 12 of 19 Pages
 
this Schedule 13D.  The funds used for the purchase of the Preferred Units reported herein were derived from the working capital of Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC.

 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On October 14, 2015, pursuant to a Class B Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement dated September 25, 2015 (the “Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement”) between Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC and the Issuer, the Issuer sold to Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC 19,444,445 newly-created Preferred Units in a privately negotiated transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Private Placement”) for a cash purchase price of $18.00 per Preferred Unit.

The terms of the Preferred Units are set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer dated October 14, 2015 (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”).  Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Reporting Persons have the right, at any time, to request conversion of their Preferred Units into Common Units at the Conversion Rate, subject to the requirement to convert a minimum of $17,500,000 of Preferred Units.  The “Conversion Rate” is equal to the quotient of (i) the aggregate purchase price for the Preferred Units plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon, divided by (ii) the lesser of (a) the purchase price for the Preferred Units and (b) the volume weighted average price for which Common Units are issued by the Issuer during the period beginning on the Private Placement closing date (October 14, 2015) and ending on the date on which the Issuer has issued Common Units in exchange for cash in an aggregate amount equal to at least $75 million.  The initial Conversion Rate, in effect at the time of filing of this Schedule 13D, is 1:1 (i.e., each one Preferred Unit is convertible into one Common Unit).

Under the terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement, the Preferred Units will receive a quarterly distribution of, at the election of the Board, 10.0% per annum if paid in full in cash or 12.0% per annum if paid in part cash (8.0% per annum) and in part paid-in-kind units (4.0% per annum).  In the event the Issuer does not raise at least $75,000,000 through the issuance of additional Common Units prior to September 30, 2016 or if any Class A Preferred Units of the Issuer remain outstanding after March 31, 2016, the cash portion of the distribution rate will increase by 4.0% per annum until consummation of such issuance or conversion, as applicable.

Subject to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement (as defined below), the Preferred Units will have the same voting rights as the holders of the Common Units and shall vote together as a single class with the Common Units.

The Issuer has the right to redeem the Preferred Units as follows: (i) from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018, the Issuer can redeem 33.33% of the Preferred Units at the greater of the current market price of the Common Units and 130% of the purchase price of the Preferred Units plus accrued distributions; (ii) from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, the issuer can redeem 66.67% of the Preferred Units (less any Preferred Units previously redeemed) at the greater of the current market price of the Common Units and 120% of the purchase price of the Preferred Units plus accrued distributions; (iii) from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the issuer can redeem 100% of the Preferred Units at the greater of the current market price of the Common Units and 110% of the purchase price of the Preferred Units plus accrued distributions; and (iv) from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the issuer can redeem 100% of the Preferred Units at the greater of the current market price of the Common Units and the purchase price of the Preferred Units plus accrued distributions.  Subject to the foregoing limitations, if all Preferred Units are not redeemed by December 31, 2021, then the Issuer is
 
 

 
SCHEDULE 13D
 
 
Page 13 of 19 Pages
 
restricted from making cash distributions on any other units until the Preferred Units are redeemed in full as a result of a monthly sweep of adjusted available cash.
 
Also on October 14, 2015, Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer.  Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, with respect to Common Units issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units, the Issuer has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, upon request of the holders of Preferred Units and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than 210 days after such request is made (the “Target Effective Date”).  If the Registration Statement is not declared effective prior to the Target Effective Date, the Issuer will pay liquidated damages as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.  In certain circumstances, the holders of Preferred Units will have piggyback registration rights as described in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Also on October 14, 2015, Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC entered into a Board Representation and Standstill Agreement (the “Board Representation and Standstill Agreement”) with the Issuer and Sanchez Production Partners GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”).  Pursuant to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC has the right to designate two persons to serve on the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the “Board”).  The right to designate one Board member will immediately terminate on such date as Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC no longer owns at least 25% of the outstanding Preferred Units, and the right to designate the second Board member will immediately terminate on such date as no Preferred Units are outstanding.  Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC also has the right to appoint the three independent members to the Board if all of the Preferred Units have not been redeemed by December 31, 2021, with such right continuing until all Preferred Units have been redeemed.

In addition, the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement provides that until the earlier of March 31, 2019 or the existing holders of the General Partner cease to own more than 50% of the General Partner or otherwise control the General Partner, Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC will not, among other things:  (i) acquire any additional equity or debt securities of the Issuer; (ii) enter into any transaction the effect of which would be to “short” any securities of the Issuer; (iii) call (or participate in a group calling) a meeting of the limited partners of the Issuer for the purpose of removing the General Partner; (iv) solicit any proxies or votes for or in support of (a) the removal of the General Partner or (b) the election of any successor general partner of the Issuer, in each case without the Issuer’s consent; or (v) control or influence the management, Board or policies of the Issuer, except through the designated directors to the Board.

Pursuant to the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, on October 14, 2015, Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC designated Jack Howell and Luke Taylor to serve as directors of the Board of the General Partner.  Both directors waived their right to receive any compensation in connection with their service on the Board, other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.

Finally, on October 14, 2015, in connection with the Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, SP Holdings, LLC, as the sole member of the General Partner, entered into Amendment No. 2 to the General Partner’s Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement Amendment”) to provide for Stonepeak Catarina Holdings LLC’s right to designate members of the Board and to provide certain consent rights by such designees regarding, among other matters, certain indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or a change in control of the Issuer or the General Partner.

The summaries contained herein of the Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement, Amended Partnership Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Board Representation and Standstill Agreement, and LLC Agreement Amendment (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are included as Exhibits B, C, D, E and F, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, which have some restrictions on the potential actions described in this Item 4, depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Units, conditions in the securities markets, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Schedule 13D. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, acquire or cause affiliates to acquire Common Units or other securities of the Issuer, dispose, or cause affiliates to dispose, of some or all of the Preferred Units or other securities of the Issuer or continue to hold, or cause affiliates to hold, Preferred Units or other securities of the Issuer (or any combination or derivative thereof).

In addition, without limitation, subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, as unitholders, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, unitholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or take other actions concerning any extraordinary corporate transaction (including but not limited to a merger, reorganization or liquidation) or the business, operations, assets, strategy, future plans, prospects, corporate structure, board composition, management, capitalization, dividend policy, charter, bylaws, corporate documents, agreements, de-listing or de-registration of the Issuer.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have no present plans, proposals or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons and any other person named in Item 2 with respect to the Issuer, subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the foregoing is subject to change at any time.
