Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 1, 2022, Summit Midstream Holdings, LLC (“SMP Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: SMLP) (“Summit,” “SMLP” or the “Partnership”), completed the acquisition of Outrigger DJ Midstream LLC (“Outrigger DJ”) from Outrigger Energy II LLC, and each of Sterling Energy Investments LLC, Grasslands Energy Marketing LLC and Centennial Water Pipelines LLC (collectively, “Sterling DJ”) from Sterling Investment Holdings LLC, respectively, pursuant to definitive agreements, each dated October 14, 2022 (collectively, the “Transactions”).
As previously reported, as a result of the Transactions, SMLP acquired natural gas gathering and processing systems, a crude oil gathering system, freshwater rights, and a subsurface freshwater delivery system in the DJ Basin for an aggregate cash consideration of $305 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Outrigger DJ and Sterling DJ consolidated asset portfolio is located in Weld, Morgan, and Logan Counties, Colorado and Cheyenne County, Nebraska.
In the Transactions, Summit acquired 100% of the membership interests in Outrigger DJ from Outrigger Energy II LLC for cash consideration of $165 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, and 100% of the membership interests in each of Sterling Energy Investments LLC, Grasslands Energy Marketing LLC and Centennial Water Pipelines LLC from Sterling Investment Holdings LLC for cash consideration of $140 million, subject to post-closing adjustments.
The Transactions were financed through a combination of borrowings under Summit’s ABL Credit Facility and $85 million aggregate principal amount of additional 8.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2026 issued at a price of 99.26% of their face value on November 14, 2022. The Transactions represent a reinvestment of approximately $115 million of the net proceeds received from the previously announced divestitures of Summit’s Lane Gathering and Processing System, in the Delaware Basin, and Bison Gas Gathering System, in the Williston Basin.
Giving effect to the Transactions, SMLP has approximately $335 million drawn on its $400 million ABL Credit Facility.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
In connection with the completion of the Transactions, SMP Holdings and Summit Midstream Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with SMP Holdings, the “Co-Issuers”), called for redemption all of the $85 million aggregate principal amount of the issued and outstanding 8.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2026 (the “Mirror Notes”) issued to certain purchasers pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the temporary notes indenture, dated November 14, 2022, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The consideration paid to each such holder to redeem the Mirror Notes consisted only of an equal principal amount of additional 8.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2026 (the “Additional 2026 Notes”) issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of November 2, 2021, by and among the Co-Issuers, the subsidiaries of Summit Holdings party thereto, the Partnership and Regions Bank, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Additional 2026 Notes Indenture”).
The Additional 2026 Notes constitute an additional issuance of the Co-Issuers’ Additional 2026 Notes pursuant to the Additional 2026 Notes Indenture, under which the Co-Issuers previously issued $700 million in aggregate principal amount of Additional 2026 Notes.
