This Amendment No. 12 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D first filed August 14, 2014, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 filed on December 8, 2014, that certain Amendment No. 2 filed on May 15, 2015, that certain Amendment No. 3 filed on February 17, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 4 filed on April 6, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 5 filed on April 13, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 6 filed on May 2, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 7 filed on August 12, 2016, that certain Amendment No. 8 filed on January 13, 2017, that certain Amendment No. 9 filed on August 15, 2017, that certain Amendment No. 10 filed on November 14, 2017 and that certain Amendment No. 11 filed on November 14, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), and as amended by this Amendment No. 12 (this “Schedule 13D”), and is being filed jointly by the Filing Parties with respect to the Common Units, Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units of SXE (as hereinafter defined).  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended.

 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The information previously provided in response to Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end of Item 3 the following:

 

“On February 9, 2018 and May 3, 2018, SHB received an additional 320,890 and 326,506, respectively, Class B PIK Units as distributions on the Class B Convertible Units.”

 

 Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Items 4(a)-(j) of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end thereof the following:

 

On July 29, 2018, Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (SXE or the “Issuer”) by written notice to American Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“AMID”), terminated the previously reported Merger Agreement as a result of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement not being completed on or prior to June 15, 2018 (this date for such termination right as originally reported in this Schedule 13D was June 1, 2018, and such date was extended to June 15, 2018) .

 

Simultaneously, on July 29, 2018, Southcross Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership that indirectly owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of SXE GP (“Holdings”), by written notice to AMID, terminated the previously reported Contribution Agreement as result of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement not being completed on or prior to June 15, 2018, due to AMID’s Funding Failure (as defined in the Contribution Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, AMID was obligated to pay Holdings a fee of $17,000,000 as a result of such termination, which amount has been paid.

 

Concurrent with the termination of the Merger Agreement and Contribution Agreement, the previously reported Voting and Support Agreement entered into between AMID, SXE, and SXE GP terminated pursuant to its terms as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement.

 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) and (b) As of August 2, 2018, 48,658,197 Common Units, 18,982,577 Class B Convertible Units and 12,213,713 Subordinated Units are outstanding. The Class B Convertible Units convert into Common Units at the Class B Conversion Rate on the Class B Conversion Date; the initial Class B Conversion Rate is 1.0 (i.e., one Common Unit for each Class B Convertible Unit). The Subordinated Units convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis on the expiration of the Subordination Period. Because such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of SXE, such Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result of the relationship of the Filing Parties to SHB, each of the Filing Parties is deemed to be the beneficial owner, with shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of 57,040,968 Common Units, which constitutes approximately 72.8% of the outstanding Common Units (giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding Class B Convertible Units and Subordinated Units).
