On April 4, 2019, EnLink Midstream, LLC (“ENLC”) and EnLink Midstream Partners, LP, a subsidiary of ENLC (the “Guarantor”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with RBC Capital Markets, LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), with respect to the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by ENLC of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), at a price to the public of 100.0% of their face value.

 

The Offering was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-229806), as amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 that became effective automatically upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 4, 2019.  The closing of the Offering occurred on April 9, 2019.

 

In the Underwriting Agreement, ENLC and the Guarantor agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
