LOGO

Executive Summary We understand Blackstone is evaluating the Step 2 transaction of buying in the remaining TGE public units with proceeds from new equity and $500 million of debt financing The existing capital structure would present the following constraints to be considered: · Existing HoldCo TLB – Limits incremental pari accordion to $200mm without amendment – Limits incremental OpCo debt via 5.75x “look-through” OpCo leverage covenant provides for ~$1.0bn incremental OpCo debt capacity · OpCo RCF – Currently $1.35bn drawn with $901mm available for draws We have evaluated the following financing alternatives: 1) $500mm accordion to existing $1.155bn TLB · Requires consents from existing lenders for a onetime increase of accordion size from $200mm to $500mm—we estimate this would cost 10 bps on a standalone, non-fungible basis · New TLB would price at L+ 425 bps, 99.5 OID · Alternatively, the Company could execute the add-on on a fungible basis with concurrent re-price of the existing TLB to L+425bps at the same 99.5 OID (with no amendment fee)(1) 2) $500mm Sister HoldCo TLB at a new entity collateralized by newly acquired units · No consents required, however, increases structural complexity · New TLB would price at L+ 425 bps, 99.5 OID 3) $500mm of new OpCo senior unsecured bonds · No consents required, however, results in reduced OpCo debt capacity due to increased leverage to ~5.0x (vs. 5.5x and 5.75x limitations in the OpCo RCF and HoldCo TLB covenants, respectively) · New 10-year bond would price at ~5.75% (1) Assumes executed contemporaneous with the roll-off of the existing 101 Soft Call in September. 1
