Sale of Offshore Petroleum Limited Partnership
On December 18, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), Offshore Petroleum Investment Partnership, a Delaware general partnership (the “Investment Partnership”), entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CV Energy Corporation (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Apache”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date, the Purchaser acquired from the Investment Partnership 100% of the limited partnership interest (the “Partnership Interest”) in Offshore Petroleum Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Operating Partnership became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Apache.
Liquidation and Cancellation of Offshore Petroleum Investment Partnership
In accordance with the Plan of Dissolution and Liquidation of the Investment Partnership, dated effective February 20, 2024 (as amended, the “Plan of Dissolution”), Apache, as the liquidation manager (the “Liquidation Manager”) named in the Plan of Dissolution, was responsible for the winding-up and liquidation of the business and affairs of the Investment Partnership (the “Liquidation”). On the Effective Date, upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Apache, in its capacity as the Liquidation Manager, completed the Liquidation of the Investment Partnership in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution. In light of the fact that, under the Purchase Agreement, no cash consideration was paid to the Investment Partnership in respect of the Partnership Interest, no liquidating distributions were paid to the Investing Partners (as defined in the Partnership Agreement of the Investment Partnership, dated October 31, 1983, as amended) under the Plan of Dissolution.
Following the Liquidation, on December 27, 2024, the Investment Partnership filed a Statement of Cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon acceptance of the Statement of Cancellation by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the legal existence of the Investment Partnership was cancelled under the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act.
A copy of the Statement of Cancellation is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
