Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
 
Items 4(a)-(j) of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end thereof the following:
 
Contribution Agreement
 
On October 31, 2017, Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (“SXE” or the “Issuer”), and Southcross Energy Partners GP, LLC, the general partner of the Issuer (“SXE GP”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with American Midstream Partners, LP (“AMID”), and American Midstream GP, LLC, the general partner of AMID (“AMID GP”), and Cherokee Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMID (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, SXE will merge with Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with SXE continuing its existence under Delaware law as the surviving entity in the Merger and wholly owned subsidiary of AMID.
 
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on October 31, 2017, AMID and AMID GP, entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Southcross Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership that indirectly owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of SXE GP (“Holdings”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, Holdings will form a new wholly owned subsidiary (“SXH Holdings”) and (i) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) Holdings will contribute to SXE Holdings all of the equity interest in Southcross Holdings Intermediary LLC, Southcross Holdings Guarantor GP LLC and Southcross Holdings Guarantor LP, which in turn directly or indirectly own 100% of the limited liability company interest of SXE GP and 100% of the partnership interest of SHB (which directly holds the securities of Issuer as reported herein), and (ii) at the Effective Time Holdings will contribute all of its equity interest in SXE Holdings to AMID and AMID GP in exchange for (1) the number of common units representing limited partner interest in AMID (each an “AMID Common Unit”) equal to $185,697,148, subject to certain adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, divided by $13.69, (2) 4.5 million new Series E convertible preferred units of AMID, (3) options to acquire 4.5 million AMID Common Units, and (4) 15% of the equity interest in AMID GP (the transactions contemplated thereby and the agreements ancillary thereto, the “Contribution”). The Contribution Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants by each of the parties. The closing under the Contribution Agreement is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (ii) the absence of certain legal impediments prohibiting the transactions and (iii) with respect to AMID’s obligation to close only, the conditions precedent contained in the Merger Agreement  having been satisfied and the Merger having become effective substantially concurrently with the closing of the Contribution Agreement.
 

The Contribution Agreement contains provisions granting both parties the right to terminate the Contribution Agreement for certain reasons. The Contribution Agreement further provides that, upon termination by Southcross Holdings of the Contribution Agreement in the event of a Funding Failure (as defined in the Contribution Agreement), AMID may be required to pay a reverse termination fee in an amount equal to $17 million.
 
The foregoing summary of the Contribution Agreement set forth in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit A.
 
Merger Agreement
 
On October 31, 2017, SXE and SXE GP entered into the Merger Agreement with AMID.
 
At the Effective Time each SXE Common Unit issued and outstanding or deemed issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 0.160 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of an AMID Common Unit (the “Merger Consideration”), except for those SXE Common Units held by affiliates of SXE and SXE GP, which will be cancelled for no consideration. Each SXE Common Unit, Subordinated Unit (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and Class B Convertible Unit (as defined in the Merger Agreement) held by Southcross Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time, will be canceled for no consideration in connection with the closing of the Merger. The SXE Incentive Distribution Rights (as defined in the Merger Agreement) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled for no consideration in connection with the closing of the Merger. Any equity interest in SXE owned upon consummation of the Contribution and immediately prior to the Effective Time by AMID, SXE or any of their respective subsidiaries will be canceled for no consideration in connection with the Merger.
 
The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (i) holders of at least a majority of the outstanding SXE Common Units (except for those SXE Common Units held by SXE GP or its affiliates) voting as a class (“SXE Unitholder Approval”), at least a majority of the outstanding Subordinated Units, voting as a class, and at least a majority of the Class B Convertible Units, voting as a class, for the approval of the SXE Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) closing of the Contribution in accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreement.
 
SXE has agreed, subject to certain exceptions with respect to unsolicited proposals, not to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any unsolicited alternative business combinations. However, the board of directors of SXE GP (the “SXE GP Board”) may, subject to certain conditions, change its recommendation in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement if, in connection with (i) the receipt of an alternative proposal, it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect such a change in recommendation would not be in the best interest of SXE and would be inconsistent with its duties under the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of SXE, as amended or supplemented dated as of April 4, 2014 (the “Partnership Agreement”) and applicable law or (ii) a material event, circumstance, change or development that arises or occurs after the date of the Merger Agreement and that was not reasonably foreseeable at the time of the Merger Agreement, it determines in good faith that the failure to effect such a change in recommendation would be inconsistent with its duties under the Partnership Agreement and applicable law.
 
The Merger Agreement may be terminated by each of SXE and AMID under certain circumstances, including if the Merger is not consummated by June 1, 2018. The Merger Agreement also provides for certain termination rights for both SXE and AMID, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, under certain specified circumstances, SXE may be required to reimburse AMID’s expenses, subject to certain limitations, up to $0.5 million (“AMID Expenses”) or to pay AMID a termination fee of $2 million less any previous AMID expenses reimbursed by SXE (the “Termination Fee”).
 

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement set forth in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit B.
 
Voting Support Agreement
 
In connection with the Merger Agreement, Holdings, Holdings GP and SHB (together with Holdings and Holdings GP, the “Southcross Holdings Parties”) entered into a voting and support agreement with AMID (the “Voting Support Agreement”). Under the Voting Support Agreement, the Southcross Holdings Parties are required to vote their Subordinated Units and Class B Convertible Units, as applicable, in favor of the Merger. At least a majority of the outstanding Subordinated Units voting separately as a class must approve the Merger and at least a majority of the outstanding Class B Convertible Units voting separately as a class must approve the Merger. The Southcross Holdings Parties own of record or beneficially 12,213,713 Subordinated Units, representing all of the issued and outstanding Subordinated Units and 18,335,181 Class B Convertible Units, representing all of the issued and outstanding Class B Convertible Units. The SXE Common Units owned by the Southcross Holdings Parties are excluded from determining the SXE Unitholder Approval.
 
The foregoing summary of the Voting Support Agreement set forth in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Support Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit C.”
 
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 
“(a) and (b) As of November 13, 2017, 48,614,187 Common Units, 18,335,181 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units are outstanding.  The Class B Convertible Units convert into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate on the Class B Conversion Date; the initial Class B Conversion Rate is 1.0 (i.e., one Common Unit for each Class B Convertible Unit). The Subordinated Units convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis on the expiration of the Subordination Period. Because such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of SXE, such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result of the relationship of the Filing Parties to SHB, each of the Filing Parties is deemed to be the beneficial owner, with shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of 57,040,968 Common Units, which constitutes approximately 72.1% of the outstanding Common Units (giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units).

(d)           As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against any Southcross Holdings Party or, to the knowledge of any Southcross Holdings Party, any other Person or, to the knowledge of any Southcross Holdings Party, threatened against any Southcross Holdings Party or any other Person that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by AMID of its rights under this Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under this Agreement.
 
(e)            Each Southcross Holdings Party understands and acknowledges that AMID and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement, and AMID and AMID GP are entering into the Contribution Agreement, in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Southcross Holdings Parties set forth in this Agreement and would not enter into the Merger Agreement and Contribution Agreement if any Southcross Holdings Party did not enter into this Agreement.
