Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”) previously announced that it had entered into a membership interest purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Saddle Butte Pipeline LLC (“Saddle Butte”), Saddle Butte Fort Berthold Gathering, LLC and Saddle Butte Assets, LLC, pursuant to which the Partnership agreed to purchase 100% of Saddle Butte’s Williston Basin crude oil pipeline and terminal system and natural gas gathering and processing operations for $950 million in cash (the “Saddle Butte Acquisition”). The purchase price was adjusted for certain pre-closing items and is subject to customary post-closing adjustments as well as to a contingent payment of $50 million that is subject to aggregate crude oil gathering volumes exceeding certain thresholds by mid-2014.

On December 31, 2012 and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Saddle Butte transferred the equity interests in Saddle Butte Fort Berthold Gathering, LLC and Saddle Butte Assets, LLC (collectively, “the Saddle Butte Subsidiaries”) to Targa Badands LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, for aggregate consideration of $975.8 million, subject to certain post closing adjustments and a contingent payment as described above. The Partnership used cash on hand, cash funded through borrowings under the Partnership’s senior secured revolving credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of the Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 to fund the aggregate consideration for the Saddle Butte Acquisition.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated into this report by reference.
