Preliminary Note

This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 9”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by the Reporting Persons on February 1, 2016, as amended and restated by Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 4, 2019 (the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the Common Units of Summit Midstream Partners, LP (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:.

On November 7, 2019, the Issuer and SMPH entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to that certain Contribution Agreement between SMPH and the Issuer dated February 25, 2016, as amended, pursuant to which the Issuer, on November 15, 2019, made a cash payment of $51.75 million and issued 10,714,285 Common Units to SMPH (the “November 2019 Prepayment”). In addition, the parties agreed to further reduce by $19.25 million the remaining portion of the consideration due to SMPH under the Contribution Agreement. Following the Second Amendment and the November 2019 Prepayment, the remaining portion of the consideration due to SMP Holdings is $180.75 million (the “Remaining Consideration”). The parties also agreed to extend the final date by which the Issuer is obligated to deliver the Remaining Consideration to January 15, 2022. The Remaining Consideration remains payable to SMPH in (i) cash, (ii) Common Units or (iii) a combination of cash and the Common Units, and interest continues to accrue (and is payable quarterly in cash) at a rate of 8% per annum on any portion of the Remaining Consideration that remains unpaid after March 31, 2020. The form(s) of Remaining Consideration to be delivered by the Issuer to SMPH continue to be determinable by the Issuer in its sole discretion. The terms of the Second Amendment were approved by the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the general partner of the Issuer, which consists entirely of independent directors.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) – (b)

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of Common Units and percentage of Common Units beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of Common Units as to which each Reporting Person has the 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 of, as of the date hereof, based on 93,493,473 Common Units outstanding at January 31, 2020 and gives effect to the Second Amendment issuance of 10,714,285 Common Units, as described above.

SMPH is the record holder of 45,318,866 Common Units and SMLP is the record holder of 5,915,827 Common Units.

ECP is the general partner of ECP GP, which is the general partner of each of the ECP Funds, which collectively hold more than a majority of the membership interests in Summit and are entitled to appoint all the directors of Summit. Summit is the sole member of SMPH. Accordingly, ECP, ECP GP and the ECP Funds may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the 45,318,866 common units held by Summit and SMPH.

The ECP Funds, other than ECP Summit Co-Invest, also hold all of the membership interests in SMLP. Accordingly, ECP, ECP GP and the ECP Funds, other than ECP Summit Co-Invest, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own all of the Common Units held by SMLP.

 

(c)

Except as set forth above, during the past 60 days none of the Reporting Persons or the Related Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Units.

 

(d)

None.

 

(e)

Not applicable.
