Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On April 15, 2021, Summit Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), announced the final results of its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) its 9.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (Liquidation Preference $1,000) (the “Series A Preferred Units”) tendered in the Exchange Offer for up to 2,400,000 newly issued common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”), which expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 13, 2021 (the “Expiration Date”).

Based on information provided by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary of the Exchange Offer, 18,662 Series A Preferred Units were properly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) as of the Expiration Date. On April 15, 2021, the Partnership accepted for exchange all such Series A Preferred Units and will issue an aggregate of approximately 559,860 Common Units, subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Partnership will promptly deliver the Common Units to be issued in exchange for the Series A Preferred Units properly tendered and accepted for exchange.

The issuance of Common Units to the holders of Series A Preferred Units in exchange for their Series A Preferred Units will be made by the Partnership pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) thereunder, on the basis that the Exchange Offer constituted an exchange with existing holders of the Partnership’s securities and no commissions or other remuneration was paid or given, directly or indirectly, to any party for soliciting such exchanges.
