Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 8, 2017, SemGroup Corporation (the “Corporation”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain of the Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, as guarantors, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Corporation has agreed to sell to the Initial Purchasers (the “Offering”) $325 million aggregate principal amount of the Corporation’s 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Corporation expects to close the Offering on March 15, 2017.

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be approximately $314 million, after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and the Corporation’s estimated expenses of the Offering and the tender offer and any redemption discussed below. The Corporation expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the repurchase for cash of any and all of the Corporation’s outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) pursuant to a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), to redeem any of the 2021 Notes that remain outstanding thereafter and to pay fees and expenses of the Offering, the Tender Offer and any redemption. The Offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is conditioned on, among other things, the closing of the Offering.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is acting as the dealer manager in connection with the Tender Offer. Certain of the Initial Purchasers and/or their respective subsidiaries may hold a portion the 2021 Notes for their own account or the accounts of customers and therefore may receive net proceeds from the Offering to the extent they participate in the Tender Offer. In addition, certain of the Initial Purchasers, or their respective affiliates, are lenders and/or agents under the revolving credit facility under the Corporation’s corporate credit agreement and receive customary fees and expense reimbursement in connection therewith. The Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates have in the past performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, including an agreement by the Corporation to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities. The closing of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement and, as a result, there can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 8, 2017, the Corporation issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. The Notes and the guarantees thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes are expected to be offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The press release is being issued in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
