Regulation FD Disclosure, Other Events, Financial Statements and Exh
of this transaction, with the total additional distributions pursuant to these
two disproportionate distribution mechanisms capped at approximately
$50 million.
Consummation of the transaction is conditioned on antitrust approval, receipt of
certain third party consents and certain other customary closing conditions. The
transaction is also conditioned upon obtaining financing pursuant to a specified
financing plan that would provide funding for payments from ETP Enogex to ETP
and OGE at the closing of the transaction as well as other financings for ETP
Enogex to provide longer-term credit capacity. Specifically, the financing plan
(the "Financing Plan") specifies that (a) ETP Enogex would, at a minimum, enter
into a $700 million senior secured revolving credit facility, (b) ETP Enogex
would issue approximately $800 million of senior unsecured notes and
(c) Transwestern Pipeline Company, LLC would issue approximately $800 million in
senior unsecured notes. ETP Enogex's senior secured credit facility would be
expected to be undrawn at closing and available for future capital expenditures
and working capital. The proceeds from the issuance of the ETP Enogex senior
notes and the Transwestern senior notes would be expected to be used to (i) make
a $266 million cash payment to OGE, (ii) prepay all of the currently outstanding
Transwestern notes, (iii) repay any intercompany loans made by the Partnership
to Transwestern, (iv) repay amounts outstanding under Enogex's credit facility
and (v) repay any intercompany loans made by OGE to Enogex. Each of the parties
have agreed that, as a condition to the parties' obligations to consummate the
transaction, the terms of the Financing Plan must be at least as favorable to
ETP Enogex as certain agreed upon terms, which the Partnership believes
approximate existing market terms.
Upon consummation of the transaction, each of OGE and ETP will agree that,
subject to certain exceptions, the following projects and activities must be
owned, developed, operated and conducted through ETP Enogex: (i) all intrastate
natural gas and natural gas liquids transportation assets in the designated area
described below, (ii) all natural gas and natural gas liquids processing and
storage assets in the designated area, (iii) all interstate natural gas and
natural gas liquids pipelines if any portion is located within the designated
area, (iv) any expansion or extension of the Transwestern pipeline and
(v) extensions of the Midcontinent Express pipeline. The designated area
includes the State of Oklahoma and the counties in the Texas Panhandle, New
Mexico, Arkansas, Colorado and Utah where the assets of Enogex and Canyon Gas
Resources are currently located. Each of OGE and ETP and their respective
affiliates would be precluded from making acquisitions of which a majority of
the assets (based on fair market value) are located inside the designated area.
However, upon consummation by ETP Enogex of such an acquisition that includes
assets in Texas that are outside the designated area, ETP Enogex would be
required to offer ETP the opportunity to acquire any assets located in Texas
that are outside the designated area for the fair market value of such assets.
Neither party would be precluded from making acquisitions of which a majority of
the assets (based on fair market value) are located outside the designated area.
However, upon consummation of such an acquisition, OGE or ETP, as applicable,
would be required to offer ETP Enogex the opportunity to acquire any assets
located within the designated area for the fair market value of such assets.
