Introductory Note

 

On March 12, 2019, Antero Midstream GP LP (“AMGP”) and Antero Midstream Partners LP (“Antero Midstream”) completed the transactions (the “Closing”) contemplated by the previously announced Simplification Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2018 (the “Simplification Agreement”), by and among AMGP, Antero Midstream, AMGP GP LLC, Antero IDR Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of AMGP (“IDR Holdings”), Arkrose Midstream Preferred Co LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMGP (“Preferred Co”), Arkrose Midstream Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Arkrose Midstream Newco Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of New AM (“NewCo”) and Antero Midstream Partners GP LLC, the general partner of Antero Midstream.

 

Pursuant to the Simplification Agreement, (i) AMGP was converted from a limited partnership to a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware, and its name was changed (the “Name Change”) to Antero Midstream Corporation (which we refer to as “New AM” or the “Company” and the conversion, the “Conversion”), (ii) Merger Sub was merged with and into Antero Midstream, with Antero Midstream surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (the “Merger”) and (iii) all the issued and outstanding Series B Units representing limited liability company interests of IDR Holdings (the “Series B Units”), the holder of all of Antero Midstream’s incentive distribution rights, were exchanged for an aggregate of approximately 17.35 million shares of the common stock of New AM, par value $0.01 per share (“New AM Common Stock”), (the “Series B Exchange”). The Conversion, the Merger, the Series B Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the Simplification Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Transactions.”  References herein to “New AM” or the “Company” refer to Antero Midstream GP LP prior to the Name Change and Antero Midstream Corporation following the Name Change.

 

On March 12, 2019, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) to report the Closing and related matters in Items 1.01, 1.02, 2.01, 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 5.02, 5.03 and 9.01 of Form 8-K. Due to the large number of events to be reported under the specified items of Form 8-K, this Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend the Original Form 8-K to include additional matters related to the Closing under Item 1.02.
