This Schedule relates to the Simplification Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2018, by and among AMGP GP, AMGP, IDR Holdings, Preferred Co, NewCo, Merger Sub, AMP GP, and AM (the “Simplification Agreement”).

 

AMGP has filed with Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”), which contains a joint proxy statement and a prospectus (the “proxy statement/prospectus”) and constitutes (i) a prospectus of AMGP under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to AMGP (or its successor entity) securities to be issued pursuant to the Simplification Agreement, (ii) a notice of meeting and a proxy statement of AMGP under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the special meeting of AMGP shareholders, at which AMGP shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Simplification Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (iii) a notice of meeting and a proxy statement of AM under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the special meeting of AM unitholders, at which AM unitholders will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Simplification Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. A copy of the Form S-4 is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(3) and a copy of the Simplification Agreement is attached as Annex A to the proxy statement/prospectus. All references in this Schedule to Items numbered 1001 to 1016 are references to Items contained in Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act.

 

The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the proxy statement/prospectus of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. The information contained in the proxy statement/prospectus, including all annexes thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the proxy statement/prospectus is in preliminary form and is subject to completion. Terms used but not defined in this Schedule shall have the meanings given to them in the proxy statement/prospectus.

 

The Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (together with the exhibits and annexes thereto and as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 13E-3”), was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 5, 2018 by AMGP. Due to the large number of exhibits to be filed with the Schedule 13E-3, this Amendment is being filed to file electronically Exhibits (c)(67) through (c)(75) to Item 16 herein which were not filed with the original Schedule 13E-3. Unless set forth below, all previous Items of the Schedule 13E-3 are unchanged.
