HOUSTON,
Nov. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Summit Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: SMLP) (the
"Partnership") announced today that it has amended its previously
announced offer to purchase (the "Tender Offer") for cash up to
$25,000,000.00 aggregate purchase
price of its 9.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative
Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the "Series A Preferred
Units"). For each Series A Preferred Unit that is accepted in
the Tender Offer, the holder will receive $250.00 (the "Purchase Price"), a 25% increase
over the initial offer of $200.00. Assuming that the Tender Offer is
fully subscribed, the number of Series A Preferred Units that will
be purchased at the Purchase Price under the Tender Offer is
100,000. Additionally, the Partnership has amended the Tender
Offer to remove the condition that holders of at least 75,000
Series A Preferred Units validly tender (and not properly withdraw)
their Series A Preferred Units prior to the Expiration Date (as
defined below) (the "Minimum Tender Condition"). Pursuant to the
Partnership's removal of the Minimum Tender Condition, the Tender
Offer is no longer conditioned upon the tender of a minimum amount
of Series A Preferred Units.
There are no other material changes to the Tender Offer, which
is still scheduled to expire at 11:59
p.m., New York City time,
on December 9, 2020, unless extended
(the "Expiration Date"). The Partnership will pay the Purchase
Price for each Series A Preferred Unit it purchases promptly after
the Expiration Date and the acceptance of the Series A Preferred
Units for purchase.
The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer will be
set forth in the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of
Transmittal that are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under cover of Schedule TO-I and TO-I/A.
