Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 5, 2014, Hi-Crush Operating LLC, a subsidiary of Hi-Crush Partners LP (the “Partnership”), entered into an amended and restated amendment to its supply agreement with Weatherford U.S., L.P., on behalf of itself and its affiliates including Weatherford Artificial Lift Systems, L.L.C. (collectively, “Weatherford”). The amended and restated amendment significantly increases the annual committed volumes under the amendment signed in March and extends the term by two more years. The supply agreement requires Weatherford to pay a specified price for a specified minimum volume of frac sand each month.
The Partnership intends to submit a FOIA Confidential Treatment Request to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requesting that it be permitted to redact certain portions of the amendment to the supply agreement. The omitted material will be included in the request for confidential treatment. The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment to the supply agreement, a redacted copy of which will be attached as an exhibit to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information in this Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements give our current expectations, and contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition, or forecasts of future events. Words such as “may,” “assume,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “could,” “future” or “believe” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements. They can be affected by assumptions used or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statements can be guaranteed. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in the Partnership’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including those described under Item 1A of the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and any subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results may vary materially. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the risk factors in our reports filed with the SEC or the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include: the volume of frac sand we are able to sell; the price at which we are able to sell frac sand; the outcome of any pending litigation; changes in the price and availability of natural gas or electricity; changes in prevailing economic conditions; and difficulty collecting receivables. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. The Partnership’s forward looking statements speak only as of the date made and the Partnership undertakes no obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
