Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

 

On June 14, 2018, pursuant to the Share and Unit Purchase Agreement dated May 29, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”) disclosed on Kinder Morgan Canada Limited’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2018, an affiliate of the Company, Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P. (the “Borrower”), entered into new, non-revolving, unsecured construction credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), as administrative agent (“Agent”), and The Toronto-Dominion Bank (together with RBC, the “Lenders”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to C$1 billion to facilitate the resumption of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (“TMEP”) planning and construction work until closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Transactions”).  The Credit Agreement provides for a maturity date on the earliest to occur of completion of the Transactions or another disposition of the Company’s interest in the entities or material assets that are subject to the Transactions; termination of the Purchase Agreement; assignment by the Company of its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement; or December 31, 2018.

 

The payment obligations of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Her Majesty in right of Canada (“Guarantor”) pursuant to an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee (“Guarantee”).

 

The Credit Facilities are non-recourse to the Borrower, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective property, assets and undertakings; the Agent and the Lenders’ sole recourse is to the Guarantor under the Guarantee.

 

In connection with the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee, the Borrower and Kinder Morgan Cochin ULC (“KMCU”) entered into an indemnity agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”) in favor of the Guarantor obligating the Borrower to reimburse and indemnify the Guarantor for amounts paid under and pursuant to the Guarantee in certain limited circumstances, namely: (i) a willful breach of KMCU’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement resulting in the termination of the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) if the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement do not close and (a) within six years of the date of execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, Kinder Morgan, Inc. (holder of 100% of the Company’s outstanding Special Voting Shares and approximately 70% of the total outstanding Company Voting Shares), one or more of its affiliates or any person who directly or indirectly purchases the Trans Mountain Pipeline System in a negotiated, arm’s length transaction completes and brings into service the TMEP, or (b) the Company or KMCU consummates a transaction involving a superior proposal in accordance with the Purchase Agreement; or (iii) any person who consummates a transaction pursuant to a superior proposal or otherwise directly or indirectly purchases the Trans Mountain Pipeline System in a negotiated, arm’s length transaction, completes and brings into service the TMEP.  In addition, the Indemnity Agreement includes, for the benefit of the Guarantor, limited rights to indemnification in the event of inaccuracies in certain representations, or the failure of KMCU to perform certain covenants, under the Purchase Agreement.  Except for the indemnities referred to in this paragraph and certain other limited exceptions, the Guarantor has no recourse to the Borrower or KMCU under the Indemnity Agreement.

 

As security for the Borrower’s and KMCU’s limited recourse obligations under the Indemnity Agreement, the Borrower and its subsidiaries granted second ranking security in favor of the Guarantor against their respective assets, and KMCU granted a limited recourse pledge of its equity in the Borrower and the general partner thereof.
