Acquisitions and Divestitures    

On May 10, 2017, we acquired a 100% interest in Delta, Na Kika and Refinery Gas Pipeline for $630.0 million in consideration (the “May 2017 Acquisition”). As part of the May 2017 Acquisition, SPLC and Shell GOM Pipeline Company LP (“Shell GOM”) contributed all but the working capital of Delta and Na Kika to Pecten, and Shell Chemical LP (“Shell Chemical”) contributed all but the working capital of Refinery Gas Pipeline to Sand Dollar. The May 2017 Acquisition closed pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 4, 2017 (the “May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement”), among the Operating Company, us, Shell Chemical, Shell GOM and SPLC. Shell Chemical, Shell GOM and SPLC are each wholly owned subsidiaries of Shell. We funded the May 2017 Acquisition with $50.0 million of cash on hand, $73.1 million in borrowings under our Five Year Revolver (as defined in Note 7—Related Party Debt), and $506.9 million in borrowings under our Five Year Fixed Facility (as defined in Note 7—Related Party Debt) with Shell Treasury Center (West) Inc. (“STCW”), an affiliate of Shell. Total transaction costs of $0.8 million were expensed as incurred. The terms of the May 2017 Acquisition were approved by the Board of Directors of our general partner (the “Board”) and by the conflicts committee of the Board, which consists entirely of independent directors. The conflicts committee engaged an independent financial advisor and legal counsel. In accordance with the May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement, Shell Chemical has agreed to reimburse us for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the conversion of a section of pipe from the Convent refinery to Sorrento from refinery gas service to butane service. The May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement contains other customary representations, warranties and covenants.

In connection with the May 2017 Purchase and Sale Agreement, we granted Shell Chemical a purchase option and right of first refusal with respect to Refinery Gas Pipeline and certain other related assets and the ownership interests in Sand Dollar. The purchase option may be triggered by, among other things, (i) a third party obtaining the right to use any or all of a Refinery Gas Pipeline; (ii) the loss of all volume on a Refinery Gas Pipeline that would result in it being permanently shutdown for two years or more; (iii) the termination of a transportation services agreement between Shell Chemical and Sand Dollar (“Refinery Gas Pipeline Agreement”); (iv) the expiration of the term of a Refinery Gas Pipeline Agreement; or (v) a change of control of our general partner; provided, however, that in the case of (i) through (iv), the purchase option would only be applicable to the Refinery Gas Pipeline impacted by such event. In addition, in the event that Sand Dollar receives an offer to sell all or a portion of the Refinery Gas Pipelines or the ownership interests in Sand Dollar from a third party, Shell Chemical has a right of first refusal with respect to such Refinery Gas Pipelines or ownership interests, as applicable, for so long as any Refinery Gas Pipeline Agreement between Shell Chemical and Sand Dollar is in effect. 

In connection with the May 2017 Acquisition we acquired historical carrying value of property, plant and equipment, net and other assets under common control as follows:

Delta

40.1

Na Kika

Refinery Gas Pipeline

We recognized $429.3 million of consideration in excess of the book value of net assets acquired as a capital distribution to our general partner in accordance with our policy for common control transactions. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we adjusted the historical carrying value of property, plant and equipment acquired in connection with the May 2017 Acquisition. The adjustment resulted in a decrease to property, plant and equipment of $9.9 million with a corresponding increase to the capital distribution to our general partner. For the period from closing through September 30, 2017, we recognized $40.1 million in revenues and $18.9 million of net earnings related to the assets acquired.

On April 28, 2017, Zydeco divested a small segment of its pipeline system (the “April 2017 Divestiture”) to Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US (“SOPUS”) as part of the Motiva JV separation. The April 2017 Divestiture closed pursuant to a Pipeline Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “April 2017 Pipeline Sale and Purchase Agreement”) dated April 28, 2017 among Zydeco and SOPUS. We received $21.0 million in cash consideration for this sale, of which $19.4 million is attributable to the Partnership. The cash consideration represents $0.8 million for the book value of net assets divested, and $20.2 million in excess proceeds received from our Parent. The April 2017 Pipeline Sale and Purchase Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and indemnification by SOPUS.

On August 9, 2016, we acquired a 2.62% equity interest in Explorer from SPLC (the “August 2016 Acquisition”) for $26.2 million. The August 2016 Acquisition was made in connection with SPLC’s right, as a current shareholder of Explorer, to acquire a portion of the equity interest being divested by another shareholder of Explorer. SPLC separately owns a 35.97% equity interest in Explorer. The August 2016 Acquisition closed on August 9, 2016 pursuant to a Share Purchase and Sale Agreement among us, the Operating Company and SPLC, and is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. We funded the August 2016 Acquisition with $26.3 million of cash on hand. Total transaction costs of $0.1 million were incurred. The terms of the August 2016 Acquisition were approved by the Board.

On May 23, 2016, we acquired an additional 30.0% interest in Zydeco, an additional 1.0% interest in Bengal and an additional 3.0% interest in Colonial for $700.0 million in consideration (the “May 2016 Acquisition”). The May 2016 Acquisition closed pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (the “May 2016 Contribution Agreement”) dated May 17, 2016 among us, the Operating Company and SPLC and became effective on April 1, 2016, and is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. We funded the May 2016 Acquisition with $345.8 million from the net proceeds of a registered public offering of 10,500,000 common units representing limited partner interests in us (the “May 2016 Offering”), $50.4 million of cash on hand and $296.7 million in borrowings under the Five Year Revolver (as defined in Note 7—Related Party Debt) with STCW, an affiliate of Shell. The remaining $7.1 million in consideration consisted of an issuance of 214,285 general partner units to our general partner in order to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in us. Total transaction costs of $0.4 million were incurred in association with the May 2016 Acquisition. The terms of the May 2016 Acquisition were approved by the Board and by the conflicts committee of the Board, which consists entirely of independent directors. The conflicts committee engaged an independent financial advisor and legal counsel. In accordance with the May 2016 Contribution Agreement, SPLC has agreed to reimburse us for our proportionate share of certain costs and expenses incurred by Zydeco after April 1, 2016 with respect to a directional drill project to address soil erosion over a two-mile section of our 22-inch diameter pipeline under the Atchafalaya River and Bayou Shaffer in Louisiana. Such reimbursements will be treated as an additional capital contribution from the general partner at the time of payment. The May 2016 Contribution Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and indemnification by SPLC.

In connection with the May 2016 Acquisition we acquired book value of net assets under common control as follows:

We recognized $606.3 million of consideration in excess of the book value of net assets acquired as a capital distribution to our general partner in accordance with our policy for common control transactions. This capital distribution was comprised of $599.2 million in cash and $7.1 million in general partner units issued.
