On August 8, 2018, Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Altus Midstream LP, a Delaware limited partnership and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Altus Midstream ”), entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “ Contribution Agreement ”) with Apache Midstream LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Apache Contributor ”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Apache ”), Alpine High Gathering LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Alpine High Gathering ”), Alpine High Pipeline LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Alpine High Pipeline ”), Alpine High Processing LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Alpine High Processing ”), Alpine High NGL Pipeline LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ Alpine High NGL ”), and Alpine High Subsidiary GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Alpine High GP ” and, together with Alpine High Gathering, Alpine High Pipeline, Alpine High Processing and Alpine High NGL, the “ Alpine High Entities ”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire from the Apache Contributor:

 

   

100% of the equity interests in each of the Alpine High Entities; and

 

   

options, currently held by the Apache Contributor, to acquire equity interests in certain third party pipelines that are expected to be placed into service in 2019 and 2020 (the “ Options ”), which include:

In addition, pursuant to a purchase rights and restrictive covenants agreement to be entered into at the Closing (as defined below) as described below in “— Other Ancillary Documents,” the Company will acquire from Apache, at cost, an additional option to acquire a 33% (or approximately 25% if another option holder exercises its option) equity interest in the Permian Highway pipeline when and if such option is agreed to by Apache and the operator of the Permian Highway pipeline.

Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Consummate the Transactions

Under the Contribution Agreement, the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions are subject to a number of customary conditions, including, among others, the following: (i) the absence of specified adverse laws or orders, (ii) the warranties of the other parties being true and correct, subject to the materiality standards contained in the Contribution Agreement, (iii) material compliance by the other parties with their respective pre-closing covenants, subject to the materiality standards contained in the Contribution Agreement, (iv) the approval of the business combination and the Transactions by the Company’s stockholders and (v) the Company having provided the Apache Contributor with a schedule of the Company’s fees through and including the Closing and the fees specified therein shall not have exceeded $30,000,000. The Closing is also conditioned upon the Company having a minimum of $475,000,000 in Available Funds at the time of Closing. “ Available Funds ” means (i) the amount of funds from the trust account (the “ Trust Account ”) that holds the proceeds (including interest but net of franchise and income taxes payable) from the Company’s initial public offering (the “ IPO ”) and the concurrent private placement of warrants to KAAC Sponsor, plus (ii) the proceeds received pursuant to the Private Placements (as defined below), minus (iii) the amount to be paid to the Company’s public stockholders who timely exercise and do not waive their right to have their public shares redeemed for cash at the closing of the business combination, minus (iv) certain amounts payable by the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of all out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses incurred by or on the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ behalf, other than the financing fees described in clause (v) below (including deferred underwriting commissions payable by the Company to the underwriters in the IPO and all costs, fees and expenses related to pursuing the business combination), minus (v) approximately $3.8 million of fees related to the Private Placements and all out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses incurred by the Apache Contributor or its affiliates related to marketing the Transactions that will not otherwise be subject to the COMA (as defined below), plus any amounts payable by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of all out-of-pocket costs, fees, and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company related to obtaining a new credit facility prior to the Closing Date.

None of the parties to the Contribution Agreement is required to pay a termination fee or reimburse any other party for its expenses as a result of a termination of the Contribution Agreement.

The Contribution Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “ Current Report ”), and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement. The Contribution Agreement is filed herewith to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties. In particular, the assertions embodied in the warranties contained in the Contribution Agreement were made as of the execution date of the Contribution Agreement only and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties to each other in connection with the signing of the Contribution Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the warranties set forth in the Contribution Agreement. Moreover, certain warranties in the

 

4


Contribution Agreement may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, you should not rely on the warranties in the Contribution Agreement as characterizations of the actual statements of fact about the parties.

Other Ancillary Agreements

The Contribution Agreement contemplates the execution by the parties of various agreements at the Closing, including, among others, (i) a registration rights agreement relating to the resale of securities issuable to the Apache Contributor, (ii) a stockholders agreement relating to the nomination of directors of the Company following the Closing by the Apache Contributor and KAAC Sponsor, (iii) a partnership agreement of Altus Midstream defining the rights of the parties thereto, including the Company, (iv) a construction, operations and maintenance agreement (the “ COMA ”) pursuant to which Apache will provide services to the Company and its subsidiaries related to the design, development, construction, operation, management, and maintenance of certain gathering, processing, and other midstream assets on behalf of the Company, (v) a purchase rights and restrictive covenants agreement providing the Company with certain rights with respect to certain midstream assets and business opportunities of Apache, including the right of the Company to acquire from Apache, at cost, a 33% (or approximately 25% if another option holder exercises its option) equity interest in the Permian Highway pipeline when and if such option is agreed to by Apache and the operator of the Permian Highway pipeline, and (vi) a warrant agreement relating to the issuance of the Warrants to the Apache Contributor.

Option Letter

On August 8, 2018, the Company, Apache, and the Apache Contributor entered into a letter agreement with respect to certain of the Options (the “ Option Letter ”). Pursuant to the Option Letter, the Apache Contributor is required to comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the agreements governing such Options and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the ability of the Company or its designated subsidiaries to exercise such Options from and after Closing. The Option Letter also imposes certain obligations on Apache with respect to certain commercial agreements associated with such Options. If, as a result of a breach of the obligations of the Apache Contributor or Apache, as applicable, under the Option Letter, the Company is not able to exercise one or more of the Options, certain of the Common Units (together with a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock) received by the Apache Contributor at Closing will be subject to forfeiture. The maximum number of Common Units (and associated shares of Class C Common Stock) subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Option Letter is 40,000,000.

The foregoing description of the Option Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Option Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Subscription Agreements

In connection with its entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “ Subscription Agreements ”) with certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors, including certain funds and accounts managed by Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., a California limited partnership, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell in private placements an aggregate of 57,234,023 shares of Class A Common Stock to investors for aggregate consideration of approximately $572.3 million (the “ Private Placements ”). The proceeds from the Private Placements will be used to fund a portion of the cash consideration required to effect the business combination. The Subscription Agreements provide that the Company must register the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued thereunder pursuant to a registration statement that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) within 30 calendar days after the Closing. In the event that (i) the registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC by the earlier of (x) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the registration statement) following the closing of the business combination and (y) the 10th business day after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, due to the Company’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts; (ii) after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, (x) the registration statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective or (y) a holder is not permitted to utilize the registration statement to resell shares of Class A Common Stock; or (iii) after the date one year following the Closing Date, and only if the registration

 

5


statement is not effective or available to sell shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such that the Company is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) (or Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act, if applicable), as a result of which unaffiliated holders are unable to sell shares of Class A Common Stock without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act) (each event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a “ Registration Default ” and the date on which such Registration Default occurs, a “ Default Date ”), then on each Default Date and on each monthly anniversary of each Default Date until the applicable Registration Default is cured, the Company will pay to each holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 0.50% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder for any shares of Class A Common Stock that may not be disposed by the holder without restriction on the Default Date; provided, however, that in no event will the Company be required to pay to a holder an aggregate amount that exceeds 5.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder for any shares of Class A Common Stock that may not be disposed.

The closings under the Subscription Agreements will occur substantially concurrently with the Closing of the business combination and are conditioned thereon, as well as on other customary closing conditions. The Subscription Agreements will be terminated, and be of no further force and effect, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) if any of the conditions to the closing under the Subscription Agreements are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the closing, and (iii) December 31, 2018, if the Closing has not occurred by such date.

The shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company will pay a placement fee of approximately $3.8 million in the aggregate in connection with such sales.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Sponsor Forfeiture Agreement

On August 8, 2018, the Company and KAAC Sponsor entered into a Sponsor Forfeiture Agreement (the “ Forfeiture Agreement ”) with the Apache Contributor, pursuant to which KAAC Sponsor will at the Closing forfeit to the Company (a) 1,862,606 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Class  B Common Stock ”), (b) a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the number of Assigned Shares and (c) 3,182,140 of the warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued to KAAC Sponsor in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO.

The foregoing description of the Forfeiture Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Forfeiture Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes certain statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may include, for example, statements about Apache’s and the Company’s ability to effect the business combination; the benefits of the business combination; the future financial performance of the Company following the business combination; changes in the Company’s, the Alpine High Entities’ or Apache’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Current Report, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Apache’s or the Company’s views as of any subsequent date, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, Apache’s or Altus Midstream’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include: (i) the

 

7


occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the business combination or give rise to the termination of the definitive agreements relating to the business combination; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Apache or the Company following announcement of the proposed business combination; (iii) the inability to complete the business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company, or other conditions to closing in the definitive agreements relating to the business combination; (iv) the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company, the Alpine High Entities or Apache as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed business combination; (v) Apache’s or the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably following the business combination; (vi) costs related to the business combination; (vii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (viii) the possibility that the Company, the Alpine High Entities or Apache may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities pursuant to the proposed business combination or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

Once the Special Meeting to consider and vote upon the Stockholder Proposals has been called and noticed, Buyer will not postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting without the consent of Contributor, other than (i) for the absence of a quorum, in such event Buyer shall postpone the meeting up to ten (10) Business Days (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Buyer has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, is necessary under applicable Law, and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the holders of Buyer Common Stock prior to the Special Meeting, or (iii) a postponement of up to ten (10) Business Days to solicit additional proxies from holders of Buyer Common Stock to the extent Buyer has determined in good faith that such postponement is reasonably necessary to obtain the approval of the Stockholder Proposals.

(d)    The Buyer Board will recommend in the Proxy Statement that the holders of Buyer Common Stock approve the Stockholder Proposals (the “ Buyer Board Recommendation ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the required stockholder approval of the Stockholder Proposals at the Special Meeting, the Buyer Board may withdraw, modify, or qualify in any manner the Buyer Board Recommendation (any such action a “ Change in Recommendation ”) only if the Buyer Board shall have concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors and financial advisors, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation is necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Buyer Board shall not be entitled to make a Change in Recommendation pursuant to this sentence unless (i) such Change in Recommendation is based upon an Intervening Event that first occurred during the Interim Period and (ii) Buyer has provided to Contributor three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Contributor that the Buyer Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail. Buyer agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, any Change in Recommendation will not (y) change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Buyer Board or (z) relieve Buyer or the KAAC Partnership of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, including Buyer’s obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of voting on the Stockholder Proposals.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1     Trust Account Waiver . Reference is made to the final prospectus of Buyer, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-216514) (the “ Prospectus ”), and dated as of March 29, 2017. Contributor and each Company acknowledges that it has read the Prospectus and understands that Buyer has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “ IPO ”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO initially in an amount of approximately $377.3 million for the benefit of Buyer’s public stockholders and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that Buyer may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to Buyer’s public stockholders in the event they elect to exercise their Buyer Stockholder Redemption Right, (b) to Buyer’s public stockholders if Buyer fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the IPO, (c) to pay any income Taxes with any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, or (d) to Buyer after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Buyer entering into this Agreement with Contributor and the Companies regarding the Transactions, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Contributor and each Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right,

 

-50-


title, interest, or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with, or relating in any way to, any proposed or actual business relationship between Buyer, Contributor, or any Company, this Agreement, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity, or any other theory of legal liability. Contributor and each Company hereby irrevocably waives any such claims it may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts, or agreements with Buyer and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement). Contributor and each Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Buyer to induce it to enter in this Agreement, and Contributor and each Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable under applicable Law. To the extent Contributor or any Company commences any Proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to, or arising out of any matter relating to Buyer, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Buyer, Contributor and each Company hereby acknowledges and agrees its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Contributor or such Company (or any party claiming on such Person’s behalf) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein; provided, that (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit Contributor’s or any Company’s right to pursue a claim against Buyer for legal relief against assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief, and (z) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Contributor or any Company may have in the future against Buyer’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds). In the event Contributor, any of the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates commences any action or proceeding permitted by this Section  10.1 based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Buyer, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or Buyer’s public stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Buyer shall be entitled to recover from Contributor or such Company, as applicable, the associated reasonable legal fees and reasonable costs in connection with any such action, in the event Buyer fully prevails in such action or Proceeding in a final, non-appealable decision.

(a)    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of Law; provided, however, that no Law, theory, or public policy shall be given effect which would undermine, diminish, or reduce the effectiveness of the waiver of damages provided in Article IX , it being the express intent, understanding, and agreement of the Parties that such waiver is to be given the fullest effect, notwithstanding the negligence (whether sole, joint, or concurrent), gross negligence, willful misconduct, strict liability, or other legal fault of any Party.

(b)    The Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in Delaware over any dispute between or among the Parties arising out of this Agreement, and the Parties irrevocably agree that all such claims in respect of such dispute shall be heard and determined in such courts. The Parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such dispute arising out of this Agreement brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. The Parties agree that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

(c)    Should any term or provision of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid or unenforceable, such decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the other terms or provisions of this Agreement, which other terms and provisions shall remain in full force and effect and the application of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

Reference is made to the following agreements: (1) the Equity Purchase Option Agreement dated as of December 20, 2017 by and between Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC and Apache Midstream LLC (“ Apache Midstream ”) (the “ GCX Option Agreement ”); (2) the Shin Oak Pipeline Equity Option Agreement dated as of May 23, 2018 and entered into by and between Enterprise Products Operating LLC and Apache Midstream (the “ Shin Oak Option Agreement ”); (3) the Option Agreement to Purchase Partners Interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP dated as of May 10, 2018 and entered into by and among EPIC Midstream Holdings, LP, EPIC Crude Holdings, LP, EPIC Crude Holdings GP, LLC, and Apache Midstream (the “ EPIC Option Agreement ” and, together with the GCX Option Agreement and the Shin Oak Option Agreement, the “ Option Agreements ”); and (4) the Contribution Agreement entered into as of even date hereof by and among Apache Midstream, Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. (“ Kayne ”), and the Companies (as such term is defined in the Contribution Agreement) (the “ Contribution Agreement ”). Kayne, Apache Corporation (“ Apache ”), with respect to Sections 2(a)(ii), 2(b) and 2(c) only, and Apache Midstream are each sometimes herein referred to individually as a “ Party ” and sometimes collectively referred to as the “ Parties .” For purposes of this letter agreement and Apache Midstream’s and Apache’s obligations hereunder, “commercially reasonable efforts” means Apache Midstream’s and Apache’s efforts in accordance with reasonable commercial practice and without incurrence of unreasonable expense, and provided always that “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not require Apache Midstream or Apache to provide, or to cause any of their respective affiliates to provide, any guaranty or credit support or to take any actions or incur any expenses not required or set forth in the Option Agreements.

Kayne, Apache, with respect to Sections 2(a)(ii), 2(b) and 2(c) only, and Apache Midstream hereby agree as follows:

 

  1.

Apache Midstream Obligations . Apache Midstream shall comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of each of the Option Agreements and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the ability of Kayne or its designated subsidiaries to exercise the options from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (“ Closing ”) in accordance with the terms set forth in the Option Agreements.

 

1


  2.

Option Agreements . In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the obligations set forth in Section  1 of this letter agreement:

 

  a.

GCX Option Agreement .

(i) Apache Midstream shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Kayne’s designated subsidiary to be determined an Eligible Person (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC, dated as of December 19, 2017 (the “ LLC Agreement ”)) at the time such designated subsidiary is proposed to be admitted as a Member of the Company (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement). If Kayne’s designated subsidiary is not determined to be an Eligible Person at the time such designated subsidiary is proposed to be admitted as a Member of the Company, then (A) prior to the expiration of the option set forth in the GCX Option Agreement, Apache Midstream shall exercise in full the option set forth in the GCX Option Agreement within the time specified for such exercise in the GCX Option Agreement and (B) as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter and provided that Apache Midstream is admitted as a Member (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) in accordance with the LLC Agreement, (1) Apache Midstream shall transfer and assign to Kayne’s designated subsidiary the equity interests in the Company that Apache Midstream received upon the exercise of such option and (2) Kayne shall reimburse Apache Midstream for any capital costs incurred by Apache Midstream in connection with the exercise of such option.

(ii) To the extent within Apache’s control and until the earlier of Kayne’s designated subsidiary’s admission as a Member of the Company under Section 2(a)(i) or December 31, 2018, Apache shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not cause the termination of any of the Transportation Agreements (as such term is defined in the GCX Option Agreement); provided, however, that this Section 2(a)(ii) does not apply to any Apache termination right in any Transportation Agreement (as such term is defined in the GCX Option Agreement), and nothing in this Section 2(a)(ii) shall prevent or prohibit Apache from exercising any such termination right pursuant to any or all of such Transportation Agreements (as such term is defined in the GCX Option Agreement), and the Parties agree that any such termination shall not, in any circumstances, be a breach of this Section 2(a)(ii).

 

  b.

Shin Oak Option Agreement . To the extent within Apache’s control, Apache shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not cause the failure of the condition precedent set forth in Section 3(g)(iii) of the Shin Oak Option Agreement or termination of the NGL Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Shin Oak Option Agreement).

 

  c.

EPIC Option Agreement . Apache shall (i) to the extent within Apache’s control, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to occur in the Transportation Agreement (as such terms are defined in the EPIC Option Agreement) and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any necessary equity commitment letter pursuant to and as required, if applicable, under Section 3(l)(ii) of the EPIC Option Agreement.

(v)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Acquired Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A Shares issued by the Issuer have been listed; and

(vi)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares contemplated hereby and to enable Subscriber to sell the Acquired Shares under Rule 144.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event that the Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “ Suspension Event ”); provided , however , that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration

 

15


Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Acquired Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided , however , that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Acquired Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(e)    Indemnification.

(i)    The Issuer agrees to indemnify, except if such transaction is consummated during a Suspension Event, to the extent permitted by law the Subscriber, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“ Prospectus ”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by such Subscriber expressly for use therein.

(ii)    In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Subscriber is participating, such Subscriber shall furnish to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Issuer, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided , however , that the liability of each such Subscriber shall be several and not joint and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Acquired Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

16


(iii)    Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one (1) counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv)    The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Issuer and each Subscriber participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Issuer’s or such Subscriber’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

(v)    If the indemnification provided under this Section  6(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6(e)(i) , (ii) and (iii)  above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section  6(e) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

7.     Termination . This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Contribution Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section  3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing, or (c) the Outside Date (as defined in the Contribution Agreement); provided , that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Contribution Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

8.     Trust Account Waiver . Reference is made to the final prospectus of the Issuer, filed with the Commission (File No. 333-216514) (the “ IPO Prospectus ”), and dated as of March 29, 2017. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that the Issuer has established a trust account (the “ Trust Account ”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “ IPO ”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Issuer’s public stockholders (the “ Public Stockholders ”) and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO), and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, the Issuer may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Issuer shares in connection with the consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “ Business Combination ”), (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Issuer fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, as necessary to pay taxes, if any, or (d) to the Issuer after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Issuer entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, it and its Representatives do not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “ Released Claims ”). Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that Subscriber or its Representatives may have against the Trust Account now (including any distributions therefrom) or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Issuer or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with the Issuer or its affiliates). Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Issuer and its affiliates to induce the Issuer to enter in this Subscription Agreement, and

 

18


Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against Subscriber and each of its Representatives under applicable law. To the extent Subscriber or any of its Representatives commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Issuer or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Issuer or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber’s and its Representatives’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber or its Representatives (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event Subscriber or any of its Representatives commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Issuer or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of monetary damages or injunctive relief, the Issuer and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from Subscriber the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event the Issuer or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “ Representatives ” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.

APACHE CORPORATION AND KAYNE ANDERSON ACQUISITION CORP. ANNOUNCE AGREEMENT TO

CREATE ALTUS MIDSTREAM COMPANY, A $3.5 BILLION PURE-PLAY, PERMIAN BASIN MIDSTREAM

C-CORP; COMPANIES TO CO-HOST CONFERENCE CALL TO DISCUSS TRANSACTION

AT 4 PM CENTRAL TIME AUG. 8

 

   

Anchored by Apache’s gathering, processing and transportation assets at Alpine High, Altus Midstream will be a publicly traded, pure-play, Permian Basin midstream C-corp.

 

   

Altus Midstream will also own options for equity participation in five planned pipelines from the Permian Basin to various points along the Texas Gulf Coast.

 

   

Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. is contributing $952  million in cash, which comprises $380  million in proceeds raised in its initial public offering and $572  million in proceeds raised in a private placement of Class  A shares.

 

   

The new company will have no debt at closing and cash on-hand will be used to fund ongoing midstream investments.

 

   

Gross volumes projected to approach more than 1  billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day of gas, producing approximately 100,000 barrels per day of NGLs by the end of 2020.

 

   

Long-term growth opportunities for Altus Midstream driven by Alpine High upstream development, investments in long-haul pipelines and third-party gathering and processing volumes.

 

   

Apache will own approximately 71  percent of Altus Midstream with the ability to increase to approximately 74  percent subject to performance earn outs.

 

   

Upon expected closing of the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2018, Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. will change its name to Altus Midstream Company.

HOUSTON, Aug. 8, 2018 – Apache Corporation (NYSE, NASDAQ: APA) and Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: KAAC, KAACU, KAACW) have announced an agreement pursuant to which Apache will contribute its midstream assets at Alpine High to Altus Midstream LP, a partnership jointly owned by Apache and KAAC. At closing, KAAC will be renamed Altus Midstream Company (together with Altus Midstream LP, “Altus Midstream” or the “company”). Altus Midstream will be structured as a C-corporation anchored by substantially all of Apache’s gathering, processing and transportation assets at Alpine High, a world-class, unconventional resource play in the Delaware Basin. The company will also own options for equity participation in five gas, NGL and crude oil pipeline projects from the Permian Basin to various points along the Texas Gulf Coast.

“The transaction with Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. creates a premier midstream enterprise to service Alpine High, an enormous, highly economic upstream resource base in the Permian Basin, the most active oil and gas region in the world. Alpine High contains more than 5,000 feet of vertical hydrocarbon bearing formations across approximately 340,000 contiguous net acres,” said John Christmann IV, chief executive officer and president of Apache.

“For Apache, this is a very strategic transaction with a world-class partner at an attractive valuation. Since our discovery of Alpine High, we have invested nearly $1 billion in an extensive network of fit-for-purpose infrastructure to meet the current and future processing and transport needs of the play. Today’s announcement is a strong endorsement of the quality of investment we have made to date.

“This transaction facilitates the allocation of Apache’s capital to the development of the vast Alpine High upstream resource base. In turn, focused capital development in the upstream should bring significant growth to Altus Midstream for many years to come,” concluded Christmann.

Kevin McCarthy, chairman of the board of directors of KAAC, stated, “We are very excited to partner with Apache to form Altus Midstream. This transaction fits all the criteria we outlined at the time of KAAC’s initial public offering and creates a pure-play, Permian-focused midstream c-corp. We

believe investors will appreciate the clear alignment of interests between Altus Midstream and Apache as well as the company’s investor-friendly structure. Altus Midstream does not have incentive distribution rights and is well positioned to execute on its growth plans. We look forward to working with our partners to create value for Altus Midstream’s shareholders.”

Brian Freed, Apache’s senior vice president, Midstream and Marketing, who will become the chief executive officer of the new company, said, “We are launching Altus Midstream with the support and financial strength of Apache and Kayne Anderson, two highly respected industry leaders. We have a strong growth platform at Alpine High with a large, contiguous acreage dedication in a proven play, infrastructure in-place to accommodate a significant ramp in volume, and options for equity participation in five planned pipelines that will provide connectivity from the Permian Basin to the Texas Gulf Coast.

“Altus Midstream expects to have more than $900 million of cash and no debt at closing and is projected to be free-cash-flow positive by 2021. With this strong financial position, the company will have substantial borrowing capacity to accommodate its growth plans. We see great opportunities to expand our asset base in Alpine High, in surrounding areas of the Delaware Basin, and elsewhere in the Permian Basin. We will have the financial capacity to expand our footprint both in terms of our physical asset base as well as the ability to access volumes from third-party operators outside of Alpine High,” concluded Freed.

Disclaimer FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The information in this presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this presentation, regarding Apache Corporation’s (“Apache”) business, operations, and future financial and operating performance and forecasts, and Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp.’s (“KAAC”) proposed business combination transaction with a wholly owned subsidiary of Apache involving certain midstream assets currently owned by Apache (the “business combination”), KAAC’s ability to consummate the business combination, the benefits of the business combination, and KAAC’s future financial performance following the business combination, as well as KAAC’s strategy, future operations and financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, including any oral statements made in connection therewith, the words “could,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, KAAC and Apache disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation. KAAC and Apache caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of KAAC and Apache, incident to the development, production, gathering, transportation and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, low prices for oil and/or natural gas, global economic conditions, inflation, increased operating costs, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment, supplies, services and qualified personnel, processing volumes and pipeline throughput, uncertainties related to new technologies, geographical concentration of operations, environmental risks, weather risks, security risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, regulatory risks (including if KAAC were to become an investment company in the future), the uncertainty inherent in estimating oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production, reductions in cash flow, lack of access to capital, KAAC’s ability to satisfy future cash obligations, restrictions in existing or future debt agreements or structured or other financing arrangements, the timing of development expenditures, managing growth and integration of acquisitions, and failure to realize expected value creation from acquisitions. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact KAAC’s operations and projections can be found in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. KAAC’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. NO OFFER OR SOLICITATION This presentation is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities pursuant to the proposed business combination or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. RESERVE INFORMATION Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing, and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions could impact Apache’s strategy and change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Estimated Ultimate Recoveries, or “EURs,” refers to estimates of the sum of total gross remaining proved reserves per well as of a given date and cumulative production prior to such given date for developed wells. These quantities do not necessarily constitute or represent reserves as defined by the SEC and are not intended to be representative of all anticipated future well results. USE OF PROJECTIONS This presentation contains projections for Apache and KAAC, including with respect to its EBITDA, capital expenditures and distributable cash flow. KAAC’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, have not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been repeated for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected information. Even if the assumptions and estimates are correct, projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside KAAC’s control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results are indicative of the future performance of KAAC after completion of the business combination or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the projected information. Inclusions of the projected information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the projected information will be achieved. 2 Disclaimer FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The information in this presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, low prices for oil and/or natural gas, global economic conditions, inflation, increased operating costs, lack of availability of drilling and production equipment, supplies, services and qualified personnel, processing volumes and pipeline throughput, uncertainties related to new technologies, geographical concentration of operations, environmental risks, weather risks, security risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, regulatory risks (including if KAAC were to become an investment company in the future), the uncertainty inherent in estimating oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production, reductions in cash flow, lack of access to capital, KAAC’s ability to satisfy future cash obligations, restrictions in existing or future debt agreements or structured or other financing arrangements, the timing of development expenditures, managing growth and integration of acquisitions, and failure to realize expected value creation from acquisitions. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact KAAC’s operations and projections can be found in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. KAAC’s SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. NO OFFER OR SOLICITATION This presentation is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities pursuant to the proposed business combination or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. RESERVE INFORMATION Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing, and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions could impact Apache’s strategy and change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. Estimated Ultimate Recoveries, or “EURs,” refers to estimates of the sum of total gross remaining proved reserves per well as of a given date and cumulative production prior to such given date for developed wells. These quantities do not necessarily constitute or represent reserves as defined by the SEC and are not intended to be representative of all anticipated future well results. USE OF PROJECTIONS This presentation contains projections for Apache and KAAC, including with respect to its EBITDA, capital expenditures and distributable cash flow. KAAC’s independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, have not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been repeated for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projected information. Even if the assumptions and estimates are correct, projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside KAAC’s control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the projected results are indicative of the future performance of KAAC after completion of the business combination or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the projected information. Inclusions of the projected information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the projected information will be achieved. 2


Disclaimer USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and distributable cash flow of KAAC. KAAC believes EBITDA and distributable cash flow are useful because they allow KAAC to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to financing methods or capital structure. KAAC does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to similar financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The computations of EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. KAAC excludes certain items from net (loss) income in arriving at EBITDA and distributable cash flow because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of operating performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDA and distributable cash flow are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of EBITDA or distributable cash flow. KAAC’s presentation of EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring terms. INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA This presentation has been prepared by KAAC and Apache and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by KAAC and Apache to be reliable, including independent industry publications, governmental publications or other published independent sources. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of KAAC and Apache, which are derived from their review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above. Although KAAC and Apache believe these sources are reliable, they have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES KAAC and Apache own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks, and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses.

Forecast Key Assumptions ► Certain projected metrics throughout this presentation are based on the following assumptions: § “Effective Date” for transaction closing of September 30, 2018 (actual closing date currently expected to be in November 2018) § ~$920 million of cash and no borrowings at close § Financing plan does not include future issuances of common equity § No dividend expected to be paid through 2020 § Altus gathering and processing (“G&P”) volumes are based on (i) Apache’s public guidance for Alpine High production in 2019-2020, (ii) Altus assumptions for Apache volume in 2021, which is based on Earn-Out consideration target of ~1.57 Bcf/d and (iii) Altus assumptions around third party volumes on the system § Expect 60%-70% of volumes to be rich gas and 30%-40% to be lean gas • Rich gas at higher end of the range in 2019, trending towards lower end by 2021 § G&P EBITDA margin of 45%-55% for full year 2019, trending toward 60%-70% in 2020 and beyond § Revenue per mcf increase in 2020 vs 2019 for rich gas is primarily attributable to an incremental high pressure gathering fee which takes effect as cryogenic processing plants come online § Guidance for joint venture pipelines is based on (i) expected in-service dates and assumed option exercise dates for the five joint venture pipelines and (ii) projections for each joint venture pipeline provided by each operator, as adjusted by Altus for its contribution to each pipeline 32 Forecast Key Assumptions ► Certain projected metrics throughout this presentation are based on the following assumptions: § “Effective Date” for transaction closing of September 30, 2018 (actual closing date currently expected to be in November 2018) § ~$920 million of cash and no borrowings at close § Financing plan does not include future issuances of common equity § No dividend expected to be paid through 2020 § Altus gathering and processing (“G&P”) volumes are based on (i) Apache’s public guidance for Alpine High production in 2019-2020, (ii) Altus assumptions for Apache volume in 2021, which is based on Earn-Out consideration target of ~1.57 Bcf/d and (iii) Altus assumptions around third party volumes on the system § Expect 60%-70% of volumes to be rich gas and 30%-40% to be lean gas • Rich gas at higher end of the range in 2019, trending towards lower end by 2021 § G&P EBITDA margin of 45%-55% for full year 2019, trending toward 60%-70% in 2020 and beyond § Revenue per mcf increase in 2020 vs 2019 for rich gas is primarily attributable to an incremental high pressure gathering fee which takes effect as cryogenic processing plants come online § Guidance for joint venture pipelines is based on (i) expected in-service dates and assumed option exercise dates for the five joint venture pipelines and (ii) projections for each joint venture pipeline provided by each operator, as adjusted by Altus for its contribution to each pipeline 32
