The holders of a requisite principal amount of Antero Midstream Partners LP’s (“Antero Partners”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Antero Midstream Corporation (“Antero Midstream”), and Antero Midstream Finance Corporation’s (together with Antero Partners, the “Issuers”), outstanding 5.375% Senior Notes due 2024, of which there is an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million outstanding (the “2024 Notes”), delivered their consents by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 12, 2019 to amend (the “Amendment”) the Indenture, dated as of September 13, 2016 (as supplemented by that First Supplemental Indenture, dated January 17, 2017, the “2024 Notes Indenture”), among the Issuers, each guarantor of the 2024 Notes party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the 2024 Notes to provide that so long as Antero Partners is a consolidated subsidiary of a parent company for financial reporting purposes, Antero Partners’ ongoing reporting requirements under the 2024 Notes Indenture may be satisfied by reports of such parent company; provided, however, that such parent company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2024 Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture (the “Proposed Amendment”). Accordingly, on April 15, 2019, the Issuers, Antero Midstream, the other guarantors party thereto, and the Trustee executed and delivered that Second Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) to give effect to the Amendment.

 

In furtherance of its previously disclosed intention to guarantee each series of Antero Partners’ notes outstanding as of the completion of the simplification transaction, on April 15, 2019, Antero Midstream entered into that certain First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), with the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, which supplements the Indenture, dated as of February 25, 2019 (the “2027 Notes Indenture”), governing the Issuers’ 5.75% Senior Notes due 2027, of which there is an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million outstanding (the “2027 Notes”), to add Antero Midstream as a guarantor of the 2027 Notes under the 2027 Notes Indenture. The Second Supplemental Indenture also adds Antero Midstream as a guarantor of the 2024 Notes under the 2024 Notes Indenture.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the First Supplemental Indenture and Second Supplemental Indenture do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, a description of the material terms and conditions of the 2024 Notes can be found in Antero Partners’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and of the 2027 Notes can be found in Antero Midstream’s Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2019, each of which is also incorporated herein by reference.
