HOUSTON, June 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- American Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: AMID) ("American Midstream" or the "Partnership") today announced that it and American Midstream Finance Corporation (together with the Partnership, the "Issuers") have extended the expiration time for the previously announced consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitation") to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Date") and amended certain terms of the Consent Solicitation. Holders of the Notes (as defined below) who have previously delivered consents in connection with the Consent Solicitation do not need to redeliver such consents or take any other action in response to this announcement in order to consent to the Consent Solicitation.
As previously announced, the Issuers are soliciting consents from holders of their $425,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding 8.500% Senior Notes due 2021 Notes (the "Notes") to amend (the "Proposed Amendments") certain provisions of the indenture governing the Notes. The Proposed Amendments to the indenture will eliminate the requirement to file certain reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") upon consummation of the pending merger (the "merger") with an affiliate of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund V, L.P. ("ArcLight"), remove certain other requirements that will no longer be applicable to the Partnership following the Partnership's expected conversion from a limited partnership into a member-managed limited liability company, which is expected to occur after consummation of the merger, and reduce the number of days of non-compliance by the Partnership with its obligations under the reporting covenant of the indenture that would constitute an event of default under the indenture.
Adoption of the Proposed Amendments requires the consent of holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the "Requisite Consents"). Consents may be revoked at any time up to, but will become irrevocable upon, the earlier of the execution and delivery of the Proposed Amendments (which is expected to be promptly after receipt of the Requisite Consents) or the Expiration Date. If the Requisite Consents are received, then upon execution of the Proposed Amendments, consummation of the merger and payment of the consent fee, the Proposed Amendments will be operative and binding upon all holders of the Notes, regardless of whether such holders have delivered consents.
The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, unless extended or earlier terminated. Only holders of record of the Notes as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 17, 2019, are eligible to deliver consents to the Proposed Amendments in the Consent Solicitation. Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the merger, the Issuers will pay an aggregate consent payment of $2,125,000 for the benefit of holders of the Notes, on a pro rata basis, who delivered valid and unrevoked consents to the Proposed Amendments on or prior to the Expiration Date.
The Consent Solicitation is being made solely on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 20, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated June 3, 2019 (as amended, the "Consent Solicitation Statement"). A more complete description of the Consent Solicitation and the Proposed Amendments can be found in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The effectiveness of the Proposed Amendments is subject to a number of conditions. The Issuers may, in their sole discretion, terminate, amend or extend the Consent Solicitation at any time as set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
The Issuers have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to serve as information agent and tabulation agent for the Consent Solicitation. Questions concerning the terms of the Consent Solicitation and requests for copies of the Consent Solicitation Statement and the form of consent should be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. at (212) 269-5550 (collect) or (800) 870-0653 (toll free), or via email at [email protected]. Wells Fargo Securities is serving as solicitation agent for the Consent Solicitation. Questions regarding the Consent Solicitation may be directed to Wells Fargo Securities, at (704) 410-4756 (collect) or (866) 309-6316 (toll free).
This announcement does not constitute a solicitation of consents of holders of the Notes and shall not be deemed a solicitation of consents with respect to any other securities of Partnership or its subsidiaries. No recommendation is being made as to whether holders of the Notes should consent to the Proposed Amendments. The solicitation of consents is not being made in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such solicitation under applicable state or foreign securities or "blue sky" laws.
