17. DISPOSITIONS, ACQUISITIONS AND DROP DOWN TRANSACTIONS

Tioga Midstream Disposition.  In February 2019, Tioga Midstream, LLC, a subsidiary of SMLP, and certain affiliates of SMLP (collectively, “Summit”) entered into two Purchase and Sale Agreements (the “Tioga PSAs”) with Hess Infrastructure Partners LP and Hess North Dakota Pipelines LLC (collectively, “Hess Infrastructure”), pursuant to which Summit agreed to sell the Tioga Midstream system to Hess Infrastructure for a combined cash purchase price of $90 million, subject to adjustments as provided in the Tioga PSAs (the “Tioga Midstream Sale”). On March 22, 2019, Summit closed the Tioga Midstream Sale and recorded a gain on sale of $0.9 million based on the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value for Tioga Midstream at closing. The gain is included in the Gain on asset sales, net caption on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The financial results of Tioga Midstream (a component of the Williston Basin reportable segment) are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the period from January 1, 2019 through March 22, 2019.

2016 Drop Down.  In 2016, SMLP acquired a controlling interest in OpCo, the entity which owns the 2016 Drop Down Assets. These assets include certain natural gas, crude oil and produced water gathering systems located in the Utica Shale, the Williston Basin and the DJ Basin, as well as ownership interests in Ohio Gathering.

The net consideration paid and recognized in connection with the 2016 Drop Down (i) consisted of a cash payment to SMP Holdings of $360.0 million funded with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and a $0.6 million working capital adjustment received in June 2016 (the “Initial Payment”) and (ii) includes the Deferred Purchase Price Obligation payment due in 2020. 

In March 2019, the Partnership amended the Contribution Agreement related to the 2016 Drop Down and fixed the Remaining Consideration at $303.5 million, with such amount to be paid by the Partnership in one or more payments over the period from March 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, in (i) cash, (ii) the Partnership’s common units or (iii) a combination of cash and the Partnership’s common units, at the discretion of the Partnership. At least 50% of the Remaining Consideration must be paid on or before June 30, 2020 and interest will accrue at a rate of 8% per annum on any portion of the Remaining Consideration that remains unpaid after March 31, 2020. 

The present value of the Deferred Purchase Price Obligation is reflected as a liability on our balance sheet until paid. As of September 30, 2019, the Remaining Consideration, which reflects the net present value of the $303.5 million Deferred Purchase Price Obligation, was $295.8 million on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet using a discount rate of 5.25%.
