Item 3.03.                                          Material Modification to Rights of Securities Holders.

 

On September 13, 2012, the board of directors of Crosstex Energy GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of Crosstex Energy, L.P. (the “Partnership”), adopted Amendment No. 4 to the Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement Amendment”) to (i) convert the General Partner’s obligation to make capital contributions to the Partnership to maintain its 2% interest in connection with the issuance of additional limited partner interests by the Partnership to an option of the General Partner to make future capital contributions to maintain its then current general partner percentage interest and (ii) amend certain terms and conditions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Units (the “Preferred Units”), including, among other corresponding modifications, the following amendments:

 

·                  Distributions In-Kind (PIK): for each quarter through the quarter ending December 31, 2013 (the “PIK Period”), the Partnership will pay distributions in-kind on the Preferred Units (“PIK Preferred Units”) without penalty and without affecting the Partnership’s ability to pay cash distributions on the Common Units.

 

·                  PIK Preferred Unit Price: during the PIK Period, the fixed price used to determine the number of PIK Preferred Units to be paid instead of cash distributions will increase from $8.50 per Preferred Unit to $13.25 per Preferred Unit.

 

·                  Optional Redemption: the existing right of the holders of Preferred Units to convert the Preferred Units into Common Units was modified so that such right may not be exercised until the earlier of (i) the business day following the record date for the distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 and (ii) February 10, 2014.

 

·                  Mandatory Redemption: the right of the Partnership to convert the Preferred Units into Common Units on January 19, 2013 was modified so that such right may not be exercised until the business day following the distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2013 (subject to the satisfaction of the existing conditions applicable to such right).

 

The foregoing description of the Partnership Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Partnership Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
