EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 16, 2016, Western Gas Equity Partners, LP (“WGP”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) to report, among other things, the closing of the acquisition by Western Gas Partners, LP (“WES”) on March 14, 2016, of a 100% interest in Springfield Pipeline LLC (“Springfield”) from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation for $750.0 million, consisting of $712.5 million in cash and 1,253,761 WES common units. WES financed the cash portion of the acquisition through: (i) the issuance of 14,030,611 WES Series A Preferred units to private investors for net proceeds of $440.0 million, (ii) the issuance of 835,841 WES common units to WGP for proceeds of $25.0 million and (iii) $247.5 million in borrowings on WES’s revolving credit facility. WGP financed the purchase of WES common units through borrowings on its $250.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. Springfield owns a 50.1% interest in a gathering system consisting of 548 miles of gas gathering lines (with a capacity of 795 MMcf/d) and 241 miles of oil gathering lines (with a capacity of 130 MBbls/d) which gathers Eagleford shale production in Dimmit, La Salle, Maverick and Webb counties in South Texas.
WGP has no independent operations or material assets other than its partnership interests in WES. The consolidated financial results of WES are included in WGP’s consolidated financial statements due to WGP’s 100% ownership interest in WES’s general partner and the control WES’s general partner has over WES.
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Initial Report to include the financial statements of Springfield and the unaudited pro forma financial statements of WGP required by Items 9.01(a) and 9.01(b) of Form 8-K, and to include exhibits under Item 9.01(d) of Form 8-K. No other modifications to the Initial Report are being made by this Amendment.
