Item 8.01    Other Events.
On November 4, 2015, Rice Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Partnership and Rice Energy Inc. (“Rice”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on November 4, 2015, the Partnership acquired from Rice all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Rice Water Services (PA) LLC (“PA Water”) and Rice Water Services (OH) LLC (“OH Water”), two wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of Rice that own and operate Rice’s water services business.
Accordingly, we have recast certain information within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2015 (the “Previously Filed Annual Report”), to reflect the acquisition of PA Water and OH Water for all periods presented in the following sections:
Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
We have also recast certain information within our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as filed with the SEC on November 5, 2015 (the “Previously Filed Quarterly Report,” and together with the Previously Filed Annual Report, the “Previously Filed Reports”) to reflect the acquisition of PA Water and OH Water for all periods presented in the following sections:
Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements.
Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
As this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed only for the purpose described above and only affects the Items specified above, the other information in the Previously Filed Reports remains unchanged. No attempt has been made in this Current Report on Form 8-K to modify or update disclosures in the Previously Filed Reports except for within the Items noted above. This current report on Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Previously Filed Reports or modify or update any related disclosures. Information within the Previously Filed Reports not affected by this Current Report on Form 8-K is unchanged and reflects the disclosure made at the time of the filing of the Previously Filed Reports. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Previously Filed Reports.
