Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 2.01.
On the Closing Date: (i) 6,520,944 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Partnership Common Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”) and owned by OMS Holdings (such Partnership Common Units, the “Sponsor Cash Units”), were converted into the right to receive $150,000,000 in cash in the aggregate and each other Partnership Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time owned by Oasis Petroleum or its subsidiaries (other than the Partnership) (together with the Sponsor Cash Units, the “Sponsor Units”) was converted into the right to receive 0.7680 common units representing limited partner interests in Crestwood (“Crestwood Common Units”); (ii) each Partnership Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Sponsor Units) was converted into the right to receive 0.8700 (the “Public Holder Exchange Ratio”) Crestwood Common Units; and (iii) all of the limited liability company interests of the General Partner issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive $10,000,000 in cash in the aggregate.
On the Closing Date, each award of restricted units that corresponded to Partnership Common Units, vested or unvested (each, a “Partnership Restricted Unit Award”), that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, automatically became fully vested and, without any action on the part of the Partnership, Crestwood or the holder thereof, was cancelled and converted into a right to receive a number of unrestricted Crestwood Common Units equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Partnership Common Units subject to such Partnership Restricted Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Public Holder Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Crestwood Common Unit and less any units withheld to satisfy any tax withholding obligations.
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and Mergers does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 28, 2021 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture, (i) the Issuers assumed all of the Partnership’s and OMP Finance’s respective obligations under the OMP Senior Notes and the OMP Indenture and (ii) added certain guarantors named in the First Supplemental Indenture.
Pursuant to the OMP Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture (the “Indenture”), interest on the OMP Notes accrues at a rate of 8.000% per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof from March 30, 2021, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The OMP Notes will mature on April 1, 2029.
The OMP Notes are the Issuers’ senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of the Issuers’ future subordinated indebtedness. The Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture) are guaranteeing the OMP Notes pursuant to the Indenture. All of CMLP’s future restricted subsidiaries that either guarantee any of the Issuers’ or a Guarantor’s other indebtedness or are classified as domestic restricted subsidiaries under the Indenture and are obligors with respect to certain other debt will also guarantee the OMP Notes. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the future senior unsecured indebtedness of such Guarantor and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor. The OMP Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ secured indebtedness (including all borrowings and other obligations under CMLP’s revolving credit facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any of CMLP’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the OMP Notes (other than liabilities owed to CMLP).
The Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem some or all of the OMP Notes at any time on or after April 1, 2024 at the redemption prices listed in the Indenture. Prior to April 1, 2024, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a portion of the OMP Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the OMP Notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, any time prior to April 1, 2024, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem OMP Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the OMP Notes issued prior to such date at a redemption price of 108%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.
If CMLP experiences a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), it will be required to make an offer to repurchase the OMP Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of repurchase. If CMLP sells certain assets and fails to use the proceeds in a manner specified in the Indenture, it will be required to use the remaining proceeds to make an offer to repurchase the OMP Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.
The Indenture contains certain covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit CMLP’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain redeemable or preferred equity, make certain investments, declare or pay dividends or make distributions on equity interests or redeem, repurchase or retire equity interests or subordinated indebtedness, transfer or sell assets including equity of restricted subsidiaries, agree to payment restrictions affecting CMLP’s restricted subsidiaries, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, incur liens and designate certain of CMLP’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. Certain of these covenants are subject to termination upon the occurrence of certain events.
The foregoing summary of the OMP Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of (i) the OMP Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021 and incorporated herein by reference and (ii) the First Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
In connection with the consummation of the LP Merger, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) was notified that each outstanding Partnership Common Unit was converted into the right to receive the merger consideration described in Item 2.01 above, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The Partnership requested that NASDAQ file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the delisting of the Partnership Common Units. The Partnership Common Units ceased being traded following the close of trading on January 31, 2022 and will no longer be listed on NASDAQ. Furthermore, the Partnership intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the reporting obligations of the Partnership under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

GP Merger

Treatment of Partnership Equity Awards
Each Partnership Restricted Unit Award that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically became fully vested and, without any action on the part of the Partnership, Crestwood or the holder thereof, was cancelled and converted into a right to receive a number of unrestricted Crestwood Common Units equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Partnership.
Common Units subject to such Partnership Restricted Unit Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Public Holder Exchange Ratio, rounded up or down to the nearest whole Crestwood Common Unit and less any units withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.
The information set forth in Items 1.01, 2.01, 3.03 and 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 5.01.
As a result of the Mergers, a change in control of the Partnership occurred on February 1, 2022, and each of the Partnership and the General Partner became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Crestwood. As a result of the Second Mergers, the Partnership and the General Partner ceased to exist.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On January 31, 2022, the Partnership entered into a First Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of March 30, 2021 (the “Partnership Agreement” and, such First Amendment, the “LPA Amendment”). The LPA Amendment amended Section 6.1 of the Partnership Agreement to allocate unrealized gain and loss among the capital accounts of the holders of Partnership Common Units in order to cause such holders’ capital accounts to be consistent with the differing exchange ratios provided for in the Merger Agreement.
