This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) relates to the Class A Shares Representing Limited Partner Interests (the “Class A Shares”) of Tallgrass Energy, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2019 (the “Original 13D”).

The information in Schedule 1 attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) – (b) of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Calculations of the percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and assumes that there are 278,759,900 Class A Shares outstanding (other than for (i) Class A Acquiror and the Prairie Secondary Acquirors, which assumes 178,104,779 Class A Shares outstanding, (ii) Up-C Acquiror 1, which assumes 276,171,961 Class A Shares outstanding and (iii) Up-C Acquiror 2, which assumes 180,692,718 Class A Shares are outstanding), which takes into account the number of TE Units that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as applicable, which are exchangeable together with Class B Shares for a corresponding number of Class A Shares, pursuant to the TGE LP Agreement (defined in Item 6 below).

The aggregate number and percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

Class A Acquiror directly holds 21,751,018 Class A Shares.

Up-C Acquiror 1 directly holds 98,067,182 Class B Shares and a corresponding number of TE Units, and Up-C Acquiror 2 directly holds 2,587,939 Class B Shares and a corresponding number of TE Units.

Secondary Acquiror 1 directly holds 116,379 Class A Shares, and Secondary Acquiror 2 directly holds 169,704 Class A Shares.

Holdings Manager is the general partner of each of the Up-C Acquirors, Class A Acquiror and each of the Prairie Secondary Acquirors. Blackstone Infrastructure is the sole member of Holdings Manager. BIA GP L.P. is the general partner of Blackstone Infrastructure. BIA GP L.L.C. is the general partner of BIA GP L.P. Blackstone Holdings III L.P. is the sole member of BIA GP L.L.C. Blackstone Holdings III GP L.P. is the general partner of Blackstone Holdings III L.P. Blackstone Holdings III GP Management L.L.C. is the general partner of Blackstone Holdings III GP L.P. The Blackstone Group L.P. is the sole member of Blackstone Holdings III GP Management L.L.C. Blackstone Group Management L.L.C. is the general partner of The Blackstone Group L.P. Blackstone Group Management L.L.C. is wholly-owned by Blackstone’s senior managing directors and controlled by its founder, Stephen A. Schwarzman.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons (other than the Acquirors to the extent they directly hold the securities reported on this Schedule 13D) is the beneficial owner of the Class A Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such Class A Shares and any assertion or presumption that it or he and the other persons on whose behalf this Schedule 13D is filed constitute a “group.”

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-39538 (the “Release”), this filing does not reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by the Harvest Fund Advisors LLC business, a subsidiary business of The Blackstone Group L.P., whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of the rest of The Blackstone Group L.P. and its other affiliates in accordance with the Release.

By virtue of an Equityholders Agreement, dated March 11, 2019, by and among certain of the Reporting Persons and their equityholders, Jasmine Ventures Pte. Ltd. and certain of its affiliates (“GIC”), and Enagas Holding USA, S.L.U. and certain of its affiliates (“Enagas”), may each be deemed to be a member of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons, GIC and Enagas are members of any such group. Each of GIC and Enagas (collectively, the “Separately Reporting Persons”) has separately made a Schedule 13D filing reporting the Class A Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own. Collectively, the Reporting Persons, GIC and Enagas beneficially own an aggregate of 122,692,222 Class A Shares, representing approximately 44.01% of the outstanding Class A Shares. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by GIC and Enagas.

Item 5(c) of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto, as of March 24, 2019, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in Class A Shares since the filing of the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Original 13D is hereby amended as follows:

The information under the heading “10b5-1 Purchase Plan and Secondary Acquirors” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

10b5-1 Purchase Plan and Secondary Acquirors

In connection with Closing, the BIP Funds, Enagas and GIC Investor pre-funded the Prairie Secondary Acquirors, each of which are managed by Holdings Manager, with an aggregate of $400 million in cash consisting of $229.5 million from the BIP Funds, $99.6 million from Enagas and $70.9 million from GIC Investor, for the purpose of making potential future acquisitions of additional Class A Shares (including Class A Shares issuable upon the vesting of employee equity awards and upon the exchange of TE Units and the corresponding Class B Shares).

On March 14, 2019, the Prairie Secondary Acquirors entered into a 10b5-1(c) purchase plan (the “10b5-1 Purchase Plan”) pursuant to which they collectively may purchase up to $150 million of the Issuer’s outstanding Class A Shares, subject to certain volume and pricing thresholds and compliance with the conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The purchase program commenced on March 14, 2019. The amount and timing of share purchases under the plan may vary and will be determined based on market conditions, share price and other factors. The program does not require the Prairie Secondary Acquirors to purchase any specific number of Class A Shares, and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without notice, to the extent permitted by law and TGE’s insider trading policy. Share purchases made under the program will not impact total Class A Shares outstanding. The form of the 10b5-1 Purchase Plan is attached hereto as an exhibit.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Management Side Letters, Director Designation Agreement, TGE GP LLC Agreement, TGE LP Agreement, TE LLC Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Equityholders Agreement and form of 10b5-1 Purchase Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
