On June 30, 2020, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock by a ratio of one-for-twenty. The par value and number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. A corresponding number of Altus Midstream Common Units were also restated as part of the reverse stock split. All corresponding per-share and share amounts have been retroactively restated in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for all periods presented to reflect the reverse stock split.

In conjunction with its ownership of the Class C Common Stock, Apache owns 12,500,000 Altus Midstream Common Units, representing approximately 76.9 percent of the total Common Units issued and outstanding. The financial results of Altus Midstream and its subsidiaries are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as detailed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under the section titled “Principles of Consolidation.”

Apache has the right, at any time, to cause Altus Midstream to redeem all or a portion of the Common Units issued to Apache, in exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis or, at Altus Midstream’s option, an equivalent amount of cash; provided that the Company may, at its option, effect a direct exchange of cash or Class A Common Stock for such Common Units in lieu of such a redemption by Altus Midstream. Upon the future redemption or exchange of Common Units held by Apache, a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by Apache will be cancelled.

Apache’s limited partner interest associated with the Common Units issued with the Class C Common Stock is reflected as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recognized at the higher of (i) its initial fair value plus accumulated earnings/losses associated with the noncontrolling interest and (ii) the maximum redemption value as of the balance sheet date. The redemption value is determined based on a 5-day volume weighted average closing price of the Class A Common Stock (5-day VWAP) as defined in the Amended LPA, a Level 1 non-recurring fair value measurement. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was recorded based on the redemption value as of the balance sheet date of $662.4 million and $575.1 million, respectively .

For further discussion of Apache’s right to receive additional shares of Class A Common Stock, and other outstanding equity instruments that may impact ownership interests and the limited partner interests of Altus Midstream in future periods, see Note 12—Net Income (Loss) Per Share.

On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream issued and sold the Preferred Units in a private offering, and the purchasers of the Preferred Units were admitted as limited partners of Altus Midstream. The Preferred Units will be exchangeable for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the option of the Preferred Unit holders after the seventh anniversary of Closing (as defined below) or upon the occurrence of specified events, unless otherwise redeemed by Altus Midstream. Refer to Note 10—Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units for further discussion.

In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on the Company’s Class A Common Stock, totaling $5.6 million, which was paid to stockholders in the first quarter of 2021. This payment included a payment of approximately $0.5 million to Apache due to its 9.8 percent ownership of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock dividend was funded by a distribution from Altus Midstream to its common unitholders of $1.50 per Common Unit. Refer to Note 2 —Transactions with Affiliates for further discussion of the Common Unit distribution.

On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream issued and sold the Preferred Units in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Closing). The Closing occurred pursuant to a Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement among Altus Midstream, the Company, and the purchasers party thereto, dated as of May 8, 2019. A total of 625,000 Preferred Units were sold at a price of $1,000 per Preferred Unit, for an aggregate issue price of $625.0 million. Altus Midstream received approximately $611.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale after deducting transaction costs and discounts to certain purchasers.

The Preferred Units are accounted for on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity based on the terms of the Preferred Units, including the redemption rights with respect thereto.

The Company applies a two-step approach to measure the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the Preferred Units, by first allocating a portion of the net income of Altus Midstream in accordance with the terms of the Amended LPA described above.

After consideration of the foregoing, the Company records an additional adjustment to the carrying value of the Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end, if applicable. The amount of such adjustment is determined based upon the accreted value method to reflect the passage of time until the Preferred Units are exchangeable at the option of the holder. Pursuant to this method, the net transaction price is accreted using the effective interest method, to the Redemption Price calculated at the seventh anniversary of Closing. The total adjustment is limited to an amount such that the carrying amount of the Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end is equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (i) the carrying amount of the Preferred Units determined in accordance with ASC 810, plus (ii) the fair value of the embedded derivative liability and (b) the accreted value of the net transaction price.

(1)Certain redemption features embedded within the terms of the Preferred Units require bifurcation and measurement at fair value. See Note 13—Fair Value Measurements for discussion of the fair value changes in the embedded derivative liability during the period.

(2)The Preferred Units are redeemable at Altus Midstream’s option at a redemption price (the Redemption Price), which as of March 31, 2021 is calculated as the greater of (i) an 11.5 percent internal rate of return and (ii) a 1.3 times multiple of invested capital. As of March 31, 2021, the Redemption Price would have been based on a 1.3 times multiple of invested capital, which was $812.5 million. This was greater than using an 11.5 percent internal rate of return, which would equate to a redemption value of $713.0 million.
