Director Appointment and Departures
On March 15, 2023, EnLink Midstream LLC (“ENLC”) announced that GIP III Stetson I, L.P. (“GIP III”), in its capacity as the sole member of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), the managing member of ENLC, appointed Matthew C. Harris, a Founding Partner of Global Infrastructure Partners (“GIP”), as a director to serve on the Board of Directors of the Manager (the “Manager Board”), effective as of March 24, 2023. Mr. Harris will take the place of William J. Brilliant, a GIP Partner who informed the Manager Board of his decision to resign from the Manager Board effective as of the same date. Mr. Brilliant served as a director on the Manager Board since July 2018. Mr. Harris will also serve as the Chairman of the Manager Board and Leldon Echols will serve as Lead Independent Director.
Also on the same date, ENLC announced that Kyle Vann, who has served as a director on the Manager Board since January 2019 and served as a member of the Board of Directors of the general partner of EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (the “General Partner Board”) from April 2006 until January 2019, informed the Manager Board of his decision to retire from the Manager Board. Mr. Vann’s retirement will also be effective as of March 24, 2023. Mr. Vann’s retirement and Mr. Brilliant’s resignation from the Manager Board did not result from any disagreement with the Manager or ENLC. As a result of these director changes, the Manager will decrease the size of the Manager Board from eight to seven.
Mr. Harris previously served as a director of the Managing Member from July 2018 until March 2020 and as a director on the General Partner Board from July 2018 until January 2019. Mr. Harris is a Founding Partner of GIP and his responsibilities include managing GIP’s energy transition and decarbonization investment and capital formation strategy globally and energy industry investment activities, including crude oil and refined product, natural gas, electricity including renewable power and battery storage, LNG and carbon capture and storage. He is a member of GIP’s Executive Committee, of its Investment Committees and its Portfolio Valuation Committee. Mr. Harris has been intimately involved in GIP’s investment, management, and strategic activities since its formation in 2006. Prior to the formation of GIP in 2006, Mr. Harris was Co-Head of the Global Energy Group at Credit Suisse and served as Head of the EMEA Emerging Markets Group. Prior to his tenure at Credit Suisse, he was a senior member of the Mergers and Acquisitions Group at Kidder Peabody & Co. Incorporated. Mr. Harris serves as Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Columbia University Climate School Advisory Board and the UCLA College of Social Sciences Dean’s Advisory Board and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Whole Health Institute and the World Wildlife Fund. He holds a B.A. (cum laude) from the University of California at Los Angeles. Mr. Harris was selected to serve as a director due to, among other factors, his investment and strategic experience, his leadership skills, and his experience in mergers and acquisitions.
Mr. Harris will not receive any separate compensation for his service as a director. Mr. Harris will serve as the Chairman of the Governance and Compensation Committee of the Manager Board.
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 his appointment to the Manager Board, ENLC entered into an Indemnification Agreement with Mr. Harris. 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.
