Warrant to Purchase Common Units

 

On February 5, 2014, High Point Infrastructure Partners, LLC (“HPIP”), American Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) and American Midstream GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) entered into a settlement (the “Settlement”) with AIM Midstream Holdings, LLC (“AIM”) regarding the action filed in Delaware Chancery Court by AIM against HPIP, the Partnership and the General Partner, pursuant to which AIM sought rescission of the Partnership’s August 2013 equity restructuring agreement between the parties (the “Equity Restructuring”), or, in the alternative, monetary damages. Under the Settlement, among other things:

 

·      HPIP and AIM agreed to enter into an amendment to the limited liability company agreement of the General Partner (the “LLC Amendment”) to, among other things, amend the Sharing Percentages (as defined therein) such that HPIP’s sharing percentage thereafter shall be 95% and AIM’s Sharing Percentage shall be 5%;

 

·      HPIP agreed to transfer all of the 85.02% of the Partnership’s outstanding Incentive Distribution Rights held by HPIP to the General Partner such that the General Partner will, immediately after the transfer, own 100% of the outstanding Incentive Distribution Rights; and

 

·      the Partnership issued to AIM a warrant to purchase up to 300,000 common units of the Partnership at an exercise price of $0.01 per common unit (the “Warrant”), which Warrant, among other terms, (i) is exercisable at any time on or after February 8, 2014 until the tenth anniversary of February 5, 2014, (ii) contains cashless exercise provisions and (iii) contains customary anti-dilution and other protections.

 

The Partnership had previously issued a warrant similar to the Warrant in connection with the Equity Restructuring, but such warrant was subsequently cancelled pending resolution of the Equity Restructuring dispute.
