Notes Offering

On December 7, 2016, American Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) and American Midstream Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“American Midstream Finance”), issued a press release announcing that, subject to market and other conditions, the Partnership and American Midstream Finance intend to offer for sale $300 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2021 in a private offering to eligible purchasers that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

A copy of such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Pro Forma Financial Information

As previously announced, on October 23, 2016, the Partnership agreed to acquire 100% of JP Energy Partners LP (“JPE”) in a unit-for-unit merger with JPE surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership.

The Partnership is filing its unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financial Information”) to show the impact of the pending mergers on the Partnership’s condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, and on its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, as set forth in Exhibit 99.2 to this report and presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Pro Forma Financial Information is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Partnership and JPE as well as the entities underlying (i) the purchases by American Midstream Emerald, LLC, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Partnership (“Emerald”), of membership interests in certain midstream entities from Emerald Midstream, LLC (the “Emerald Acquisitions”) and (ii) the purchase by the Partnership of a 26.33% interest in Pinto Offshore Holdings, LLC (the “Delta House Acquisition”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to (i) the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership with and into JPE, with JPE surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (the “JPE Merger”), and (ii) the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s general partner (the “General Partner”) with and into JPE Energy GP II LLC (“JPE GP”), with JPE GP surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the General Partner (together with the JPE Merger, the “Mergers”), as if such Mergers had occurred on September 30, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations gives effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2013, and as if the Emerald Acquisitions and Delta House Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2015.

Exhibit 99.2 is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
