   Final NEWS RELEASE

Kinetik Announces $1.0 Billion Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes Offering

MIDLAND/HOUSTON, June 1, 2022 – Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: KNTK) (“Kinetik”) announced today that its subsidiary, Kinetik Holdings LP (the “Issuer”), intends to offer $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of sustainability-linked senior notes due 2030 (the “Senior Notes”) in an offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Senior Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Kinetik.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with borrowings under a new 3-year unsecured term loan facility with a group of commercial banks, to refinance all of its existing consolidated indebtedness.

The interest rate on the Senior Notes will be linked to Kinetik’s performance against sustainability performance targets related to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) and methane emissions reduction targets and the representation of women in corporate officer positions. Those targets are set forth in Kinetik’s recently published Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework (the “Framework”). Kinetik published the Framework on May 16, 2022 and obtained a second party opinion (“SPO”) on the Framework from ISS ESG. The Framework and the SPO are available on Kinetik’s website.

The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The Senior Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The Offering may be made only by means of an offering memorandum.

Forward-looking statements

This news release 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,” “seeks,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospects,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about Kinetik’s future plans, expectations, and objectives for Kinetik’s operations, including statements about strategy, synergies, and future operations, the Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2022. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Description of the transaction and redemption and exchange of Common Units for Class A Common Stock

Description of the transaction

On October 21, 2021, the Company and the Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with Contributor to purchase 100% of the equity interests in BCP and BCP Raptor Holdco GP, LLC, the general partner of BCP (“BCP GP”), in exchange for an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class C Common Stock”), and an aggregate of 50,000,000 Common Units of the Partnership. The transaction closed on February 22, 2022, at which time BCP and BCP GP became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Partnership. Immediately following the transaction, legacy shareholders of the Company held approximately 25% of the Company’s outstanding shares (approximately 20% held by Apache Midstream LLC (“Apache Midstream”)) and legacy BCP and BCP GP unitholders held approximately 75% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.

Redemption and exchange of common units for Class A Common Stock

In January 2022, a direct exchange by the Company and Apache Midstream was effectuated, pursuant to which the Company exchanged 12,500,000 Common Units held by Apache Midstream for 12,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and cancelled a corresponding number of Apache Midstream’s 12,500,000 shares of Class C Common Stock.

Immediately following consummation of the transaction, a direct redemption occurred between the Company and certain Contributor members, pursuant to which the Company exchanged with those Contributors 2,650,000 Common Units for 2,650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and cancelled a corresponding number of the Contributors’ 2,650,000 shares of Class C Common Stock.

Basis of pro forma presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses. Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the Redemption and Exchange of Common Units for Class A Common Stock and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the combined company after the consummation of the transaction and the Redemption and Exchange of Common Units for Class A Common Stock.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements are based on the ALTM historical consolidated financial statements and the BCP historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the transaction and reasonably estimable synergies. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the transaction and the Redemption and Exchange of Common Units for Class A Common Stock as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with BCP considered the accounting acquirer of ALTM. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying ALTM assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill.


Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the transaction are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the transaction based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated combined financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the transaction. The Company and BCP have not had any historical relationship prior to the transaction. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

3.

Accounting treatment for the transaction

The Company will be the legal acquiror of BCP. However, for accounting purposes, the transaction will be treated as a reverse merger and accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. As such, the Company will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the transaction, BCP unitholders will have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, BCP will control a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and BCP’s senior management will comprise the majority of the senior management of the combined company upon consummation of the transaction.

Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the net assets of BCP will be stated at historical carrying values and its consolidated financial statements will be presented as the predecessor to the combined company in the historical financial statements following the consummation of the transaction. Furthermore, for accounting purposes, the assets and liabilities of the Company will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date, with any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, if any, to be recorded as goodwill. Based on the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, no goodwill was recognized in the transaction. The results of the Company will be presented within the consolidated results of BCP from the date of acquisition going forward.

Preliminary estimated purchase price and purchase price allocation

Management performed a preliminary estimation of fair values of the Company assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, BCP has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the Company assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related purchase price allocation. The preliminary fair value estimates are subject to change based on the final valuations. BCP estimated the preliminary fair value of the Company assets and liabilities based on discussions with the Company’s management, preliminary valuation studies, due diligence, and information presented in the Company public filings. The final purchase price and purchase price allocation may be different than what is presented herein, and such differences could be material.


Preliminary estimated purchase price

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimate of the purchase price:
