Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On May 3, 2018, American Midstream Partners, LP (“AMID”) entered into Amendment No. 9 (the “LPA Amendment”) to its Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), effective as of May 3, 2018. The LPA Amendment (i) amends the definition of “Interim Capital Transactions” in the Partnership Agreement to exclude from such definition capital contributions that may be provided by ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC (“ArcLight”), including capital contributions made pursuant to the previously disclosed Distribution Support and Expense Reimbursement Agreement, dated October 23, 2016, between AMID and an affiliate of ArcLight, which was entered into in connection with the acquisition by AMID of JP Energy Partners LP, or the previously disclosed Capital Contribution Agreement, dated March 11, 2018, among AMID, the General Partner and an affiliate of ArcLight, which was entered into to provide support in connection with temporary curtailment of production flows at the Delta House platform; and (ii) makes changes in response to changes to the Internal Revenue Code enacted by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “BBA”) relating to partnership audit and adjustment procedures. The LPA Amendment makes certain revisions to the Partnership Agreement that facilitate the General Partner’s obligations as the “Partnership Representative” under the BBA.

The foregoing description of the LPA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the LPA Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. Any capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in the Partnership Agreement.
