The Merger was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2019 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Tallgrass Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Buyer and Prairie Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer ("Merger Sub"). The Merger closed and was effective at 7:02 a.m., Central Time, on April 17, 2020 (the "Effective Time").
