Item 8.01.             Other Events.
 
On February 17, 2015, EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) acquired a 25% limited partner interest (the “Transferred Interest”) in EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP (“Midstream Holdings”) from Acacia Natural Gas Corp I, Inc. (“Acacia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of EnLink Midstream, LLC (“ENLC”), in a drop-down transaction (the “EMH Drop Down”). As consideration for the Transferred Interest, the Partnership issued 31.6 million Class D Common Units in the Partnership to Acacia. After giving effect to the EMH Drop-Down, the Partnership indirectly owns a 75% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings, with Acacia owning the remaining 25% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings.
Due to ENLC's control of the Partnership through its ownership and control of EnLink Midstream GP, LLC (“General Partner”), the general partner of the Partnership, the acquisition of the Transferred Interest is considered a transfer of net assets between entities under common control. As such, the Partnership is required to recast its financial statements to include the activities of the Transferred Interests as of the date common control commenced. Exhibits 12.1, 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K give retroactive effect to the acquisition of the Transferred Interests as if the Partnership owned the Transferred Interests effective as of March 7, 2014.
The Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2015, is hereby recast by this Current Report on Form 8-K as follows:
the Computation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges of the Partnership included herein on Exhibit 12.1 supersedes Exhibit 12.1 filed under Part IV, Item 15 of the 2014 Form 10-K;

the Selected Financial Data of the Partnership included herein on Exhibit 99.1 supersedes Part II, Item 6 of the 2014 Form 10-K;

the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Partnership included herein on Exhibit 99.2 supersedes Part II, Item 7 of the 2014 Form 10-K; and

the Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Partnership included herein on Exhibit 99.3 supersedes Part II, Item 8 of the 2014 Form 10-K, except for the Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm with regard to internal control over financial reporting, included at page F-2 and F-3 of the 2014 Form 10-K, respectively, which are not impacted by this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Current Report on Form 8-K does not revise or update any sections of the 2014 Form 10-K other than as noted above. This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2014 Form 10-K, and any references herein to Items 6, 7 and 8 under Part II of the 2014 Form 10-K refer to Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and 99.3 hereto, respectively. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, future references to the Partnership’s historical financial statements should be made to this Current Report on Form 8-K as well as future quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K, respectively.
