Item 8.01

Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on May 28, 2020, Summit Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), closed on a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with affiliates of Energy Capital Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ECP”) to acquire all the outstanding limited liability company interests of Summit Midstream Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Summit Investments”). We refer to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement as the “GP

Buy-In

Transaction.”

The May 2020 acquisition of Summit Investments was a transaction between entities under common control. As a result, the Partnership recast its financial statements for the period that the entities were under common control by Summit Investments to retrospectively reflect the May 2020 acquisition.

The Partnership is filing this Current Report on Form

8-K

to update certain items in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”) and the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q

for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (the “2020 Quarterly Report”). Under GAAP, the GP

Buy-In

Transaction was deemed a transaction among entities under common control with a change in reporting entity. Although the Partnership is the surviving entity for legal purposes, Summit Investments is the surviving entity for accounting purposes; therefore, the historical financial results of the Partnership prior to the GP

Buy-In

Transaction are

presented as those of Summit Investments. Prior to the GP

Buy-In

Transaction, Summit Investments controlled the Partnership and the Partnership’s financial statements were consolidated into Summit Investments.

The following items of the 2019 Annual Report are being retrospectively adjusted to reflect the GP

Buy-In

Transaction for all periods presented:

•

Item 6. Selected Financial Data;

•

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;

•

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data; and

•

Exhibit 21.1 List of Subsidiaries.

These items replace the same items filed in the Partnership’s 2019 Annual Report as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2020.

The following items of the 2020 Quarterly Report are being retrospectively adjusted to reflect the GP

Buy-In

Transaction for all periods presented:

•

Item 1. Financial Statements and Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; and

•

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

These items replace the same items filed in the Partnership’s 2020 Quarterly Report as filed with the SEC on May 8, 2020.

8-K

should be read in conjunction with the other information included (but not replaced as described above) in the 2019 Annual Report and in the 2020 Quarterly Report. More current information is contained in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form
