RATTLER MIDSTREAM LP

Rattler is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “RTLR.” Rattler was formed by Diamondback in July 2018 to own, operate, develop and acquire midstream infrastructure assets in the Midland and Delaware Basins of the Permian Basin. Rattler Midstream GP LLC (“Rattler’s General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diamondback, serves as the general partner of Rattler. As of June 30, 2020, Diamondback owned approximately 71% of Rattler’s total units outstanding.

Prior to the completion of Rattler’s initial public offering (the “Rattler Offering”) in May 2019, Diamondback owned all of the general and limited partner interests in Rattler. The Rattler Offering consisted of 43,700,000 common units representing approximately 29% of the limited partner interests in Rattler at a price to the public of $17.50 per common unit, which included 5,700,000 common units issued pursuant to an option to purchase additional common units granted to the underwriters on the same terms which closed on May 30, 2019. Rattler received net proceeds of approximately $720 million from the sale of these common units, after deducting offering expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions.

In connection with the completion of the Rattler Offering, Rattler (i) issued 107,815,152 Class B Units representing an aggregate 71% voting limited partner interest in Rattler in exchange for a $1 million cash contribution from Diamondback, (ii) issued a general partner interest in Rattler to Rattler’s General Partner, in exchange for a $1 million cash contribution from Rattler’s General Partner, and (iii) caused Rattler LLC to make a distribution of approximately $727 million to Diamondback. Diamondback, as the holder of the Class B units, and Rattler’s General Partner, as the holder of the general partner interest, are entitled to receive cash preferred distributions equal to 8% per annum on the outstanding amount of their respective $1 million capital contributions, payable quarterly.
