Registration Rights Agreement

 

Also on June 24, 2016, the Issuer and the Purchasers entered into an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 11, 2016, by and among the Issuer and the Original Purchasers (as amended, the Registration Rights Agreement). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has filed a registration statement to register the public resale of the Common Units issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units and exercise of the Warrants. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement grants the Purchasers piggyback registration rights under certain circumstances. These registration rights are transferable to affiliates of the Purchasers and, in certain circumstances, to third parties.

 

Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement

 

On June 13, 2017, NGL Energy Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Issuer, executed the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer (the Partnership Agreement). Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, at any time after May 11, 2019, the Purchasers and NGL Blocker have the right to convert any Preferred Units held by them for a number of Common Units equal to the product of the number of Preferred Units converted and the conversion ratio then in effect. If the Common Units are trading at or above $12.035 (the initial conversion price), the Preferred Units will be converted on a one-to-one basis. However, if the Common Units are trading below the initial conversion price, then the conversion ratio will be equal to the quotient of the initial conversion price and the greater of (i) the adjusted volume weighted average price of the Common Units for the 15 trading days immediately preceding May 11, 2019 or (ii) $5.00. Any conversion of the Preferred Units may be settled in common units, cash or a combination. The Preferred Units do not become convertible until May 13, 2019 and are currently redeemable by the Issuer for cash.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Board Representation Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Partnership Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

General
