During the last five years, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons knowledge, any person named on Annex A hereto, has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding has been or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 is hereby amended by the addition of the following paragraph as the fifth paragraph thereof:
The Reporting Persons estimate that approximately $390 million in cash will be required to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Units not owned by TNGP or its affiliates, including related fees and expenses, pursuant to the Transaction (as defined in Item 4 of this Statement). CF Holdings intends to use cash on hand, including cash from its subsidiaries, to finance the purchase of such Common Units by TNGP in the Transaction. | |
|
|
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transactions. |
Item 4 is hereby amended by the addition of the following paragraphs to the end thereof:
Pursuant to Section 17.1 of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of TNCLP, as amended (the Partnership Agreement), on February 7, 2018, TNGP and TNCLP entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the Assignment and Assumption Agreement), pursuant to which TNCLP assigned to TNGP the right to acquire all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Common Units not owned by TNGP or its affiliates (the Subject Units). The foregoing description of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement is a summary and qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto.
On February 7, 2018, CF Holdings and TNCLP each issued a press release announcing that, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, TNGP will acquire the Subject Units on April 2, 2018, at a price per Subject Unit equal to $84.033 in cash (the Purchase Price), without interest thereon (the Transaction). The Purchase Price is equal to the average of the daily closing prices of the Common Units for the 20 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date that was five days prior to the date on which the Call Notice was mailed to the holders of record of Common Units, as required under the Partnership Agreement.
The purpose of the Transaction is for CF Holdings, through its subsidiaries, to acquire all of the Common Units not already owned by CF Holdings and its subsidiaries. The Subject Units currently represent approximately 24.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Units. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, TNGP will directly own approximately 24.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Units and accordingly, the Reporting Persons will increase their aggregate ownership of the Common Units from approximately 75.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Units to 100% of the issued and outstanding Common Units. Upon the consummation of the Transaction, there will be no public market for the Common Units and no holders of the Common Units other than the Reporting Persons. Following the consummation of the Transaction, the Reporting Persons intend to cause the Common Units to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and to terminate the registration of the Common Units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and suspend the Partnerships obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
The Reporting Persons presently expect that the Subject Units will be retained following the consummation of the Transaction, at which time TNCLP will become a wholly owned subsidiary of CF Holdings. The Reporting Persons expressly reserve the right to make any changes to their plans concerning TNCLP or the Subject Units that they deem appropriate following the Transaction, which could include the acquisition or disposition of additional securities of TNCLP, a merger, reorganization or other extraordinary transaction involving TNCLP or its subsidiaries, changes to the present board of directors or management of TNCLP, changes to TNCLPs corporate structure, present capitalization or dividend policy and/or changes to TNCLPs charter or the Partnership Agreement, or other actions similar to the foregoing. | |

LP Holdings is the direct beneficial owner of 13,889,014 Common Units, which represent approximately 75.1% of the outstanding Common Units. By virtue of TNGPs right to acquire voting and investment power over the Subject Units on April 2, |
2018 pursuant to the Transaction, TNGP may be deemed to be the direct beneficial owner of the Subject Units, numbering 4,612,562 Common Units, which represent approximately 24.9% of the outstanding Common Units. By virtue of its ownership of all the outstanding equity of LP Holdings, CF Sales may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the 13,889,014 Common Units beneficially owned by LP Holdings, which represent approximately 75.1% of the outstanding Common Units. By virtue of its ownership of all the outstanding equity of CF Sales and all of the outstanding common stock of TNGP, CF Enterprises may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the 13,889,014 Common Units beneficially owned by LP Holdings and CF Sales and the 4,612,562 Common Units beneficially owned by TNGP, which together represent 100% of the outstanding Common Units.

(c)
Except for the transactions described elsewhere in this Statement, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named on Annex A hereto, has effected any transaction in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

|
Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
As described in Item 4 of this Statement, TNCLP and TNGP are parties to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 4, pursuant to which TNCLP assigned to TNGP the right to acquire the Subject Units. The description of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement contained in this Statement is a summary and qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement. Pursuant to the Transaction, as described in Item 4 of this Statement, TNGP will acquire all of the Subject Units on April 2, 2018, at a price per Subject Unit equal to the Purchase Price, without interest thereon.
As non-employee directors of TNGP, Coleman L. Bailey, Michael A. Jackson and Anne H. Lloyd receive compensation in the form of phantom units in TNCLP. A phantom unit entitles the holder to a cash payment equal to the value of a Common Unit at the time of vesting, but does not give the holder thereof the right to acquire or vote any Common Units. Each phantom unit vests automatically on the earlier of (i) a directors separation from service that (other than a removal for cause) or (ii) the date of the first meeting of the board of directors of TNGP of the calendar year following the date of grant of the award. In addition, each phantom unit entitles the holder to additional phantom units when quarterly cash distributions are made to holders of Common Units. Pursuant to TNGPs Non-Employee Director Phantom Unit and Deferred Compensation Plan, non-employee directors of TNGP receive an annual award of a number of phantom units to be determined based on the closing prices of the Common Units. The foregoing description of TNGPs Non-Employee Director Phantom Unit and Deferred Compensation Plan is a summary and qualified in its |
entirety by the terms of such plan and the forms of phantom unit agreements and award agreements issued thereunder, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 to TNCLPs Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and incorporated by reference as exhibits hereto. | |
