On November 4, 2021, DCP Midstream, LP (the “Partnership”), DCP Midstream Operating, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and certain of their affiliates (collectively, with the Partnership and the Operating Partnership, the “Partnership Entities”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as the representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), providing for the issuance and sale by the Operating Partnership, and the purchase by the Underwriters (the “Offering”) of $400 million aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 3.250% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). Upon issuance, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnership.
The Offering was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Nos. 333-249270 and 333-249270-01) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 2, 2020, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated November 4, 2021 and filed with the Commission on November 5, 2021, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Operating Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay indebtedness under its revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. Certain of the Underwriters and/or their affiliates are lenders under the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit facility. To the extent that the Operating Partnership uses proceeds from the Offering to repay indebtedness under its revolving credit facility, such Underwriters and/or their affiliates may receive a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership Entities have agreed, among other things, to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On November 4, 2021, the Partnership issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Notes to be issued and sold pursuant to the Offering. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Current Report on Form 8-K, this press release is deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such press release be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the intended use of the net proceeds from the Offering, the anticipated closing date of the Offering and other aspects of the Offering. Although management believes that expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition, these statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other assumptions that are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control, including market conditions, customary closing conditions, other factors described in the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus for the Offering. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Partnership’s actual results may vary materially from what management anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.
Investors are encouraged to closely consider the disclosures and risk factors contained in the Partnership’s annual and quarterly reports filed from time to time with the Commission and in the prospectus supplement and related base prospectus for the Offering. The forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this report.
