EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

Summit Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Registration Statements”) to terminate all offerings under such Registration Statements and deregister any and all securities that remain unsold pursuant to the Registration Statements:

On August 1, 2024, Summit Midstream Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, the Corporation, Summit SMC NewCo, LLC (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, and Summit Midstream GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Corporate Reorganization”). In connection with the Corporate Reorganization, each outstanding phantom unit award granted under the 2012 LTIP or the 2022 LTIP (the “Partnership Phantom Unit Awards”), was converted into an award of restricted stock units relating to a number of shares of common stock of the Corporation equal to the number of Common Units subject to such Partnership Phantom Unit Award as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Reorganization.

As a result of the completion of the Corporate Reorganization, this Amendment is being filed by the Partnership to withdraw and remove from registration all of the Plan Units and Deferred Compensation that remain unsold under the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Partnership in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the Plan Units or Deferred Compensation registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Partnership hereby removes from registration any and all of the Plan Units or Deferred Compensation registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Partnership certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Amendment to each of the Registration Statements to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on August 9, 2024.

No other person is required to sign this Amendment in reliance upon Rule 478 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
