Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is an amendment to the current report on Form 8-K of Antero Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership”), filed on January 29, 2019 (the “Original Form 8-K”).  Following the initial filing of the Original Form 8-K, the Partnership discovered that one item number tag was inadvertently omitted from the submission (Item 5.02) and one item number tag was inadvertently included in the submission (Item 5.01).  Additionally, the Partnership discovered a typographical error in one of the item numbers in the Original Form 8-K.  The Original Form 8-K includes disclosure required pursuant to Item 5.02, and no disclosures were omitted as a result of the error.  The Partnership is amending the Original Form 8-K solely to correct the tagging and typographical errors in the submission.

 

Item 1.01.                Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with the appointment of Paul J. Korus as a member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Antero Midstream Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Antero Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership” and together with the General Partner, the “Companies”), the Companies entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Korus pursuant to which the Companies will be required to indemnify Mr. Korus to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of his service to the Companies and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him to which he could be indemnified.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indemnification Agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

 

Item 5.02                   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On January 24, 2019, Richard W. Connor notified the Partnership of his intent to resign from the Board effective immediately for personal reasons. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Partnership or any of its affiliates on any matter relating to the Partnership’s operations, policies or practices.

 

On January 28, 2019, Paul J. Korus was appointed to the Board and to serve as chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee. The Board determined that Mr. Korus meets the independence requirements under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Partnership’s independence standards, and that there are no transactions between the Partnership and Mr. Korus that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. Korus and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Korus was selected to serve as a director of the Board.

 

Mr. Korus will receive the standard non-employee director compensation for serving on the Board. The specific terms of such compensation are described further in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2018.

 

In connection with his appointment to the Board, the Companies entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Korus.  The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 7.01                   Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On January 29, 2019, the Partnership issued a press release announcing Mr. Connor’s resignation from, and Mr. Korus’ appointment to, the Board. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

 

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 (including the exhibit) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
