October 01, 2021 03:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glass Mountain Pipeline Holdings LLC (the “Company” or “Glass Mountain”) announced today that, with the support of its equity sponsor GEPIF Glass Mountain Pipeline LLC (the “Sponsor”) and lenders holding 66.97% of the Company’s revolving and term loans (the “Consenting Lenders”), it has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) that provides for the elimination of over $230 million in debt from the Company’s balance sheet and a $45 million investment from the Sponsor. Pursuant to the RSA, lenders will receive their pro rata share of (i) a $69,177,939.86 first lien term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) issued by a new borrower entity (the “New Borrower”) that will be the direct parent of Glass Mountain and Navigator Panhandle HoldCo LLC, and (ii) a cash payment of $44,038,698.89. The New Term Loan Facility will be secured by the collateral for the existing loans and a first-priority pledge of the equity interests of the New Borrower, its direct subsidiaries, and each guarantor.

The Company and its advisors continue to work with the Company’s lenders to gain 100% support of the transaction such that the RSA can be effectuated on an out-of-court basis in October 2021. To the extent that threshold cannot be achieved, the parties to the RSA have already agreed to a prepackaged plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. While the Company hopes to receive the support of 100% of its lenders, the Company anticipates that the chapter 11 plan, pursuant to which all general unsecured claims would be unimpaired and paid in full, would be confirmed and consummated quickly and efficiently. The Company does not anticipate any change in its day-to-day operations or the services it provides to its customers throughout this process.

Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Gray Reed & McGraw LLP are serving as legal counsel to the Company and PJT Partners LP is serving as the Company’s investment banker.

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP is serving as legal counsel and Perella Weinberg Partners L.P. and Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. are serving as financial advisors to an ad hoc group of Consenting Lenders.
