Summit Midstream Partners, LP Closes Previously Announced Marcellus Shale Acquisition
Dallas, Texas (June 21, 2013) - Summit Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: SMLP) announced today that it has closed the previously announced acquisition of certain natural gas gathering pipelines and compression assets located in the liquids-rich window of the Marcellus Shale Play, primarily in Doddridge County, West Virginia, from an affiliate of MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. ("MarkWest"). The assets were acquired by Mountaineer Midstream Company, LLC ("Mountaineer"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of SMLP for $210 million in cash.
The Mountaineer system consists of over 40 miles of newly constructed, high-pressure natural gas gathering pipelines, certain rights-of-way associated with the pipeline, and two compressor stations with over 21,000 horsepower of compression. This rich-gas gathering and compression system serves as a critical inlet to MarkWest's world-class Sherwood Processing Complex, which is currently being expanded from 400 MMcf/d to 800 MMcf/d. The Mountaineer system is capable of delivering 550 MMcf/d to the Sherwood Processing Complex and is underpinned by a long-term, fee-based contract with an affiliate of Antero Resources Corporation.
The acquisition was funded with (i) $110 million of borrowings under SMLP's revolving credit facility, (ii) approximately $98 million in proceeds from SMLP's issuance of 3,107,698 common units to Summit Midstream Partners Holdings, LLC ("Summit Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Midstream Partners, LLC, and (iii) approximately $2 million in proceeds from SMLP's issuance of 63,422 general partner units to Summit Midstream GP, LLC, our general partner (the "General Partner"). The value of the common and general partner units that were issued as partial consideration for the Mountaineer acquisition was based on the volume weighted daily average price of SMLP's common units for the five trading days prior to entry into that certain Unit Purchase Agreement, dated June 4, 2013, by and among SMLP, Summit Holdings and the General Partner.
