Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 16, 2021, GIP III Stetson I, L.P., in its capacity as the sole member of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), the managing member of EnLink Midstream, LLC (“ENLC”), increased the size of the Board of Directors of the Manager (the “Manager Board”) from eight to nine and elected and appointed Tiffany (“TJ”) Cepak as a director to serve on the Manager Board.

 

Ms. Cepak will serve as an independent director. As an independent director, Ms. Cepak will be paid an annual retainer fee of $97,500 and receive an annual equity award valued at $115,000. Directors do not receive an attendance fee for each regularly scheduled quarterly board meeting or each additional meeting that they attend.  In addition, directors are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with service on the Manager Board.  Ms. Cepak will serve on the Audit Committee and on the Conflicts Committee of the Manager Board.

 

Ms. Cepak most recently served as the Chief Financial Officer of Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc., an oil and natural gas development and production company, from August 2017 until its sale in October 2018. Ms. Cepak also served as the Chief Financial Officer of KLR Energy Acquisition Corp. (and, subsequent to its business combination, Rosehill Resources Inc.) from January 2015 to June 2017 and as Chief Financial Officer of EPL Oil & Gas, Inc. from 2010 until June 2014, when EPL was sold. Ms. Cepak previously held a number of other positions with EPL, since joining them in 2001, including Treasurer, Director of Investor Relations, and Director of Corporate Reserves. Ms. Cepak began her career as a Senior Reservoir Engineer with Exxon Production Company and Exxon Mobil Company with operational roles, including reservoir and subsurface completion engineering. Ms. Cepak currently serves on the board of directors of Ranger Oil Corporation, Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., and California Resources Corporation. Ms. Cepak also served as a director of Yates Petroleum Corporation, a privately owned, independent oil and gas exploration and production company, from October 2015 to October 2016. Ms. Cepak holds a B.S. in Engineering from the University of Illinois and an MBA from Tulane University. Ms. Cepak was selected to serve as a director due to, among other factors, her extensive experience in the energy sector and her engineering, operational and finance experience.

 

Indemnification Agreement

 

ENLC has a practice of entering into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of the Manager’s directors and executive officers (collectively, the “Indemnitees”). In connection with her appointment to the Manager Board, ENLC entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Ms. Cepak. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, ENLC has agreed to indemnify and hold the Indemnitee harmless, subject to certain conditions, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, taxes (including ERISA excise taxes), penalties (whether civil, criminal, or other), interest, assessments, amounts paid or payable in settlements, or other amounts and any and all “expenses” (as defined in the Indemnification Agreements) arising from any and all threatened, pending, or completed claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, or alternative dispute mechanisms, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative, or otherwise, whether made pursuant to federal, state, or local law, whether formal or informal, and including appeals (each, a “proceeding”), in each case, in which the Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party, a witness, or otherwise, including any inquiries, hearings, or investigations that the Indemnitee determines might lead to the institution of any proceeding, related to the fact that the Indemnitee is or was a director, manager, or officer of ENLC or the Manager, or is or was serving at the request of ENLC or the Manager, each as applicable, as a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, fiduciary, trustee, or agent of any other entity, organization, or person of any nature. ENLC has also agreed to advance the expenses of an Indemnitee relating to the foregoing. To the extent that a change in the laws of the State of Delaware permits greater indemnification under any statute, agreement, organizational document, or governing document than would be afforded under the Indemnification Agreements as of the date of the Indemnification Agreements, the Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits so afforded by such change.
