The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their investments in the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may communicate with the board of the general partner of the Issuer (the “Board”), members of management and/or other stockholders from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or otherwise work with management and the Board with a view to maximizing stockholder value. Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and may not rise to the level of a plan or proposal. Subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons may seek to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer) from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, including in connection with extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a tender offer, merger or consolidation that would result in thede-listing of the Class A Shares, and/or may seek to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the Issuer’s securities from time to time. The Reporting Persons may seek to engage in such transactions directly or in conjunction with any of the Separately Reporting Persons (defined in Item 5 below). In connection with the acquisition described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have engaged advisors and have evaluated and will continue to evaluate the possibility of acquiring additional securities in future transactions. The Reporting Persons expect to continue to actively evaluate such transactions, and to take other actions intended to position the Reporting Persons or the Acquirors to opportunistically engage in one or more of such transactions in the future, including separately or in conjunction with any of the Separately Reporting Persons. Subject to the agreements described herein, any transaction that any of the Reporting Persons may pursue may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Persons, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Persons.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, although, subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management of the Issuer or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons, including any of the Separately Reporting Persons.

Jasmine is controlled and managed by GIC SI, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of GIC. In such capacities, each of GIC SI and GIC shares with Jasmine the power to vote and dispose of the Class A Shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Jasmine.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of the Class A Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such Class A Shares and any assertion or presumption that it or he and the other persons on whose behalf this Schedule 13D is filed constitute a “group.”

(“Blackstone Infrastructure”), the Acquirors, and the Prairie Secondary Acquirors, to the extent they beneficially own Class A Shares, (collectively, “Blackstone”), and Enagas Holding USA, S.L.U. and certain of its affiliates (“Enagas”), may each be deemed to be a member of a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (collectively, Blackstone and Enagas are referred to as the “Separately Reporting Persons”). However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons, or any of the Separately Reporting Persons are members of any such group. Each of the Separately Reporting Persons has separately made a Schedule 13D filing reporting the Class A Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own. Collectively, the Reporting Persons and the Separately Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 122,406,139 Class A Shares, representing approximately 43.91% of the outstanding Class A Shares. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Separately Reporting Persons.

The per unit price for the Class A Shares and Class B Shares (together with the corresponding TE Units) acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was $22.43.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no one other than the Reporting Persons and the Separately Reporting Persons, or the partners, members, affiliates or shareholders of such persons, has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class A Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) This Item 5(e) is not applicable.

In addition, pursuant to the Management Side Letters, during the Management Member Lockup Period, each Management Member has agreed to vote his or her Retained Interests in a manner consistent with the recommendation of the Board.
