Item 4 of the Statement is amended and supplemented by the following:

 

Merger Agreement

 

On January 1, 2018, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Original Agreement) with AROC, the General Partner and Archrock GP.  On January 11, 2018, following the formation of Amethyst Merger Sub LLC as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AROC (Merger Sub), AROC and Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Amendment and the Original Agreement as amended by the Amendment, the Merger Agreement) with the Issuer, the General Partner and Archrock GP solely for the purpose of joining Merger Sub as a party to the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AROC (the Merger).

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Common Unit other than Common Units owned by AROC and its subsidiaries (each, a Public Common Unit) will be converted into the right to receive 1.40 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of AROC (the AROC Common Stock).  In connection with the Merger, all of the Issuers incentive distribution rights, which are owned indirectly by AROC, will be canceled and will cease to exist.

 

The board of directors of AROC and the board of directors of Archrock GP (the Archrock GP Board) have each approved the Merger Agreement.  The Conflicts Committee of the Archrock GP Board (the Conflicts Committee)

and the Archrock GP Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Conflicts Committee) have determined that the Merger is in the best interests of the Issuer, including the holders of Public Common Units, and each has resolved to recommend that the holders of the Common Units approve the Merger Agreement.  In addition, the AROC Board has resolved to recommend that AROCs stockholders approve the issuance of AROC Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the AROC Share Issuance).

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from the parties, and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the Merger and (2) the obligation to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated.

 

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (1) approval of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (2) approval of the AROC Share Issuance by a majority of the shares of AROC Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting of AROC stockholders; (3) expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, if required; (4) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (5) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the AROC Share Issuance; (6) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of AROC Common Stock issuable pursuant to the AROC Share Issuance; (7) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (8) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants.

 

The Issuer will hold a special meeting (the Special Meeting) of its unitholders to obtain the vote of certain of its unitholders to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of each of the Original Agreement and the Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
