| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Purchase Agreement
On November 13, 2019, 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 RBC Capital Markets, 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’ 5.500% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Notes were priced at par, and the Offering is expected to result in net proceeds to the Issuers of $992,300,000.
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 the net proceeds from the Offering to repay borrowings under its credit facilities and for general partnership purposes, which may include redemptions or repurchases of its outstanding senior notes, repayment of other indebtedness, working capital and funding capital expenditures and acquisitions. Because certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates are lenders under the Partnership’s credit facilities and may be holders of (or manage accounts that hold) the Partnership’s senior notes, 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 November 13, 2019, the Partnership issued two press releases announcing the launch of the Offering and the pricing of the Notes. Copies of the Partnership’s press releases are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and are 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.
