Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Purchase Agreement
On August 11, 2020, Targa Resources Partners LP (the Partnership), a subsidiary of Targa Resources Corp., entered into a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), among the Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Targa Resources Partners Finance Corporation (Finance Corp and, together with the Partnership, the Issuers), certain subsidiary guarantors named therein (the Guarantors) and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 thereto (the Initial Purchasers), pursuant to which the Issuers agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers (the Offering) $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers 4.875% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the Notes). The Notes were priced at par, and the Offering is expected to result in net proceeds to the Issuers of $992,200,000.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions under which the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Relationships
The Initial Purchasers or their respective affiliates have performed investment banking, financial advisory and commercial banking services for the Partnership and certain of its affiliates, for which they have received customary compensation, and they may continue to do so in the future. The Partnership intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the concurrent cash tender offer (the Tender Offer) to purchase for cash, subject to certain conditions, any and all of the Partnerships 6 3⁄4% Senior Notes due 2024 (the 2024 Notes), to pay fees and expenses thereof, and to redeem any 2024 Notes that remain outstanding after consummation of the Tender Offer. The Partnership will use the remaining net proceeds from the Offering to reduce borrowings under the Partnerships senior secured revolving credit facility. Because certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates are lenders under the Partnerships credit facilities and may be holders of (or manage accounts that hold) the notes subject to the Tender Offer, such Initial Purchasers and affiliates will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering. The Partnership has entered into commodity swap transactions with certain of the Initial Purchasers with terms the Partnership believes to be customary in connection with these transactions.
The description set forth above in Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On August 11, 2020, the Partnership issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Notes. A copy of the Partnerships press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
The press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which the offer, solicitation or sale of such securities would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
Item 9.01 | Financial Statements and Exhibits. |
