In this 3,373 word interview, exclusively in the Wall Street Transcript, Mr. Amoss analyzes the MLP sector in depth.
“There are two separate questions that have been posed to MLPs. The first is: Should you retain your existing structure if you have incentive distribution rights, or IDRs? The second question is: Should MLPs, existing companies that are structured as MLPs, consider a conversion to be C-Corp-structured companies? And I think those are two very distinct questions.”
The valuation of these companies is intrinsically tied to the corporate organizational structure:
“Midstream investors and MLP investors do not want to see companies retain their IDR structure. And over the last two years especially, most of the companies in the space have either undertaken a “simplification” of their structure or have announced a proposed transaction to eliminate IDRs. Most of those proposed deals are scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2019.”
