Item 8.01  Other Events.

 

On March 23, 2020, 160,000 shares of common stock of Targa Resources Corp. (the “Company”), par value $0.001 per share (“common stock”), owned by Rene R. Joyce, a director of the Company and of the general partner of Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”), were sold pursuant to an involuntary margin call effected by Mr. Joyce’s broker. Following the sale, Mr. Joyce continues to beneficially own approximately 906,871 shares of common stock, including previously granted unvested stock-based compensation, 795,642 of which remain pledged. Given the recent volatility in the capital markets, it is possible that additional involuntary sales effected by Mr. Joyce’s broker could occur. No other directors or executive officers of the Company or the general partner of the Partnership have any common stock pledged against margin loans.
