Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
Purchase Agreement
On December 14, 2020,
Archrock Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Archrock Partners Finance Corp. (“Finance
Corp.” and, together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), and Archrock, Inc., as parent guarantor (the “Company”),
and the other subsidiary guarantors thereto (together with Company, the “Guarantors”), entered into a purchase agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers listed in Schedule
1 thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), with respect to a private offering (the “Offering”) by the Issuers
of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) of the Issuers, along with
the related guarantees (the “Guarantees”) of the Notes. The Offering is expected to close on or about December 17,
2020, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Notes and Guarantees
will be issued and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereunder. The Initial Purchasers intend
to resell the Notes and Guarantees (i) inside the United States to “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in
Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act in private sales exempt from registration under the Securities Act
in accordance with Rule 144A, and (ii) to other eligible purchasers pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United
States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) in accordance with Regulation S.
The Notes and Guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered
or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act and applicable state laws.
The issue price
for the Notes and Guarantees was 104.875% of their principal amount. The Partnership intends to use the approximately
$309.6 million of net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting
discounts and estimated offering expenses (but disregarding accrued interest to the date of issuance of the Notes), to
partially repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants and includes the terms and conditions for the sale of the Notes, indemnification (including
indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act) and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary
in agreements of this type.
Certain of the Initial
Purchasers or their affiliates perform and have performed commercial and investment banking and advisory services for the Partnership
from time to time for which they receive and have received customary fees and expenses. In particular, affiliates of certain of
the Initial Purchasers are lenders under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility and therefore may receive their pro
rata share of any proceeds from the sale of the Notes that are used to repay borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving
credit facility. The Initial Purchasers may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Partnership
in the ordinary course of their business, for which they will receive fees and expenses.
In addition, the Issuers
and the Guarantors have agreed with the Initial Purchasers not to offer or sell any debt securities for a period of 90 days after
the date of the Purchase Agreement without the prior consent of RBC Capital Markets, LLC.
The summary of the
Purchase Agreement set forth in this Item 1.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to such agreement,
a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
