(“NGP”), and the additional contributors party thereto (together with NGP, the “Contributors”). Pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Contribution Agreement, ETP agreed to acquire from the Contributors (i) 100% of the membership interests in PennTex Midstream (ii) 6,301,596 Common Units and 20,000,000 Subordinated Units; (iii) 100% of the membership interests in PennTex GP; and (iv) 100% of the Issuer’s incentive distribution rights (the “Acquisition”), for an aggregate consideration of $640,442,212, as adjusted, consisting of (i) $320,221,106 in cash, which was funded with a combination of proceeds from Common Units recently issued under ETP’s At‑The-Market program and borrowings under its revolving credit facility and (ii) a number of common units representing limited partner interests of ETP equal to $320,221,106 divided by the price of the ETP common units as of the closing date of the Acquisition. Additionally, in conjunction with the Acquisition, ETE has agreed to a waiver of its incentive distribution rights in the amount of $33 million annually that will run in perpetuity.
