Item 7.01
|
Regulation FD Disclosure.
|
On November 2, 2016, the board of directors (the
Board
) of the general partner (the
General Partner
) of Atlas Growth Partners, L.P. (the
Partnership
) determined that it was in the best interest of the Partnership and its limited partners to
retain its cash flow and reinvest in its business and assets. Accordingly, the Board has elected to suspend the Partnerships quarterly distributions, beginning with the distribution with respect to the three months ended September 30,
2016.
In addition, the Partnership has decided to temporarily suspend the Partnerships primary offering efforts in light of new
regulations and the challenging fundraising environment until such time as market participants have had an opportunity to ascertain the impact of such issues.
As of September 30, 2016, Atlas Energy Group, LLC owned 80% of the General Partner and a 2.1% limited partner interest in the
Partnership.
The information provided in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the registrant pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other than to the extent that such filing
incorporates by reference any or all of such information by express reference thereto.
