Such consideration is further discussed in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub merged with and into OMP (the “LP Merger”), with OMP surviving the LP Merger as a direct subsidiary of the Issuer, and GP Merger Sub merged with and into the General Partner (the “GP Merger” and, together with the LP Merger, the “Mergers”), with the General Partner surviving the GP Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, (i) 6,520,944 common units representing limited partner interest in OMP (the “OMP Common Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and owned by OMS Holdings (such OMP Common Units, the “Sponsor Cash Units”), were converted into the right to receive $150,000,000 in cash in the aggregate and each other OMP Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time owned by OAS or its subsidiaries (other than OMP) (together with the Sponsor Cash Units, the “Sponsor Units”) were converted into the right to receive 0.7680 Crestwood Common Units; (ii) each OMP Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Sponsor Units) was converted into the right to receive 0.8700 Crestwood Common Units; and (iii) all of the limited liability company interests of the General Partner issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive $10,000,000 in cash in the aggregate.

The foregoing summary of the Mergers does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit A hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, Oasis entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer, OMS Holdings, and Oasis Investment Holdings. The Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, grants Oasis and certain of its affiliates (the “Unitholders”) certain rights to require the Issuer to file and maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the resale of the Crestwood Common Units owned by the Unitholder (including by having their Crestwood Common Units registered for resale in certain other registration statements filed by the Issuer or in certain underwritten offerings proposed by the Issuer) and, under certain circumstances, to require the Issuer to initiate three underwritten offerings for such Crestwood Common Units, subject to a minimum threshold.

Also pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Unitholders agreed not to directly or indirectly sell or otherwise dispose of its Crestwood Common Units for a period ending 90 days following the Closing Date of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Additionally, for a period of two years following the Closing Date, the Issuer has a right of first offer in connection with certain sales by the Unitholders of the Crestwood Common Units.

The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit B hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Director Nomination Agreement

On the Closing Date, Oasis entered into a Director Nomination Agreement with the Issuer and Crestwood GP (the “Director Nomination Agreement”). The Director Nomination Agreement grants Oasis certain designation rights pursuant to which Oasis may cause the board of directors of Crestwood GP to elect the designees selected by Oasis. At the closing, Oasis may cause the board of directors of Crestwood GP to nominate certain designees selected by Oasis to the slate of nominees recommended by Crestwood GP for election for each applicable special or annual election of the Issuer at which directors are to be elected. For so long as Oasis and its affiliates own at least 15% of the issued and outstanding Crestwood Common Units, Oasis may designate two director nominees. Oasis may designate one director nominee if Oasis and its affiliates hold at least 10% (but less than 15%) of the issued and outstanding Crestwood Common Units. If Oasis and its affiliates own less than 10% of the issued and outstanding Crestwood Common Units, Oasis will cease to have any rights to designate a director nominee under the Director Nomination Agreement.

On February 1, 2022, John Lancaster, Jr. and John Jacobi were elected to serve on Crestwood GP’s board of directors, in each case designated by Oasis under the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Director Nomination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Director Nomination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit C hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, each of the other individuals named in Item 2 above, do not have, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons and each other individuals named in Item 2 with respect to the Issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time. In determining from time to time whether to sell the Crestwood Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.
