Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes therein for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(2)Relationship with Affiliate

 

The Company has an ongoing business relationship with an affiliate, Tug Hill Operating, LLC (THO). THO is responsible for acquisitions, construction and operation of gathering systems and related facilities owned by the Company. As it incurs costs on behalf of the Company for these operations, THO bills the Company through its joint interest billing (JIB) process; and the Company reimburses THO for these costs at least monthly. THO is also responsible for the administration of the Company’s business. In exchange for these services, the Company pays a quarterly fee that includes (a) THO employees’ time and related expenses charged to the Company for the operation of its oil and natural gas properties, (b) an allocated amount of THO overhead expense calculated based on the number of hours THO employees spend working on Company projects, and (c) an additional percentage markup of the overall total of (a) and (b) to cover benefits and other employee-related costs and any unforeseen or difficult to allocate costs. The Company’s board approves the operating budgets. For six months ended June 30, 2022, THO billed the Company $8.6 million through the JIB process. The amount due to THO for these services, which are included in the Company’s affiliate payables balance was $3.3 million as of June 30, 2022. The remaining affiliate payable balance of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2022 was for revenues received by the Company that were due to THQA. Allocations consist of $1.6 million of construction expenditures and operating expenses, $4.7 million in salaries and bonus for the operation of its business, $0.3 million for overhead expenses, and $2.0 million of direct general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

This contract commits the Company to transport minimum daily natural gas liquids volumes at negotiated rates, or pay for any deficiencies at a specified fee beginning in the third quarter of 2021.

(6)Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

 

(7)Membership Interests

 

There are two classes of membership interest – capital interests and management incentive interests. Capital interests held by Quantum, R2K and members of management have full voting rights and rights to share in the distributions of the Company. As described more fully in note 8, management incentive interests can be issued under the Incentive Pool Plan and are non-voting with no rights to share in distributions until the capital contributed interests have earned the full base return.

 

The members have no liability for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, except as expressly required in the agreement. The Company shall dissolve and its affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest to occur of (a) the expiration of its term on December 20, 2025, if not extended by the members, (b) election by the Board of Directors by majority approval at any time or (c) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.

 

The timing and amounts of distributions, other than tax advances, are determined by the Board of Directors. Capital contributions will receive a base return of 8% on their contributions (base return) which continues accruing until distributions exceed the total capital contributions plus the 8% base return. The first 10% of R2K’s Capital Interest will be treated as un-promoted capital (R2K’s Un-promoted Capital Interest). Distributions to members’ capital that is promoted is subject to certain distribution flips, whereby, distributions will be made in proportion to the agreed upon sharing ratios. Tax advances may be made quarterly based on projections of the entity’s taxable income for the year. On March 15, 2022, the Company paid $2.6 million of West Virginia withholding taxes on behalf of the members. This payment was treated as a distribution.

 

Total equity commitments from the members is $457 million, of which $358 million was funded as of June 30, 2022, leaving $99 million in available equity should the Company need additional funding.

 

(8)Management Incentive Unit Plan

 

Effective with the formation of the Company on December 20, 2017, the Company adopted an incentive unit plan, THQ-XcL Employee Holdings I, LLC, (the Plan) to provide profit awards to employees (management incentive units). The Company can issue up to 2,000,000 units to certain employees in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered by the holders, for the benefit of the Company in their capacities as employees. All of the incentive units will be subject to vesting over five years, forfeiture, and termination. The management incentive units have no voting rights, do not have an exercise price and are automatically forfeited except in extenuating circumstances if and when such person’s status as an employee is terminated.

(9)Subsequent Events

On September 6, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with EQT Corporation to sell the Company’s gathering and processing assets along with the upstream assets of affiliate company THQ Appalachia I, LLC for total consideration of $2.6 billion of cash and 55 million shares of common stock of EQT Corporation (EQT). ).
