Item 2.03.

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On December 10, 2019, in connection with the closing of the previously announced offering (the “Offering”) and issuance by Hess Midstream Partners LP (the “Issuer”), of $550,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% senior notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), the Issuer entered into an indenture, dated as of December 10, 2019 (the “Indenture”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture contains customary terms, events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, the payment of dividends or similar restricted payments, undertaking certain transactions with the Issuer’s affiliates, and limitations on asset sales.

The Notes were sold only to “qualified institutional buyers” in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States to non-U.S. Persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

At any time prior to June 15, 2023, the Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 105.125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the redemption date, with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings, subject to certain conditions. At any time prior to June 15, 2023, the Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the Issuer’s option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the redemption date. The Issuer may also redeem all or a part of the Notes at any time on or after June 15, 2023, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the redemption date. If the Issuer experiences a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuer will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes in cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the purchase date. If the Reorganization (as defined in the Indenture) is not consummated by March 31, 2020 (or such later date as agreed by the parties to the Restructuring Agreement (as defined in the Indenture) (the “Outside Date”); provided that the Outside Date will not extend beyond April 17, 2020), or, if on a date prior to the Outside Date, the Issuer notifies the Trustee or otherwise announces that the Reorganization will not be consummated, the Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a price equal to 100% of the initial issue price of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of initial issuance to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date. There is no escrow account for, or security interest in, the proceeds of this offering for the benefit of the holders of the Notes.

The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of the Issuer’s future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Issuer’s existing and future secured debt, including amounts outstanding under the Issuer’s Credit Facilities (as defined in the Indenture), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt, and are structurally subordinated to the secured and unsecured debt (including trade payables) of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

The summary of the Indenture set forth in this Item 2.03 does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to such agreement, a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.
