At the Initial Effective Time, pursuant to the Initial LP Merger, each Partnership Common Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Effective Time (other than the Partnership Common Units (i) held directly by Kodiak, GP Merger Sub or Unit Merger Sub or (ii) held by the Electing Unitholders (as defined below)) will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.086 (the Exchange Ratio) shares of common stock of Kodiak (Kodiak Common Stock), with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, if any. We refer to the consideration received pursuant to the Initial LP Merger as the Kodiak Common Stock Consideration. Each U.S. holder of Partnership Common Units (Partnership Common Unitholders) that both (i) is an accredited investor and (ii) has a negative tax basis capital account, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with respect to such Partnership Common Unitholders interest in the Partnership with an absolute value greater than $50,000 at the relevant time (an Eligible Unitholder) (any Partnership Common Unitholder with these attributes we refer to as an Eligible Unitholder), may elect to receive as consideration for their Partnership Common Units, in lieu of the Kodiak Common Stock Consideration, the Up-C Consideration (as described below) (each Eligible Unitholder making such an election, an Electing Unitholder and any Partnership Common Units held by such Electing Unitholders, Electing Units). The Kodiak Common Stock Consideration and the Up-C Consideration generally will be equivalent economically (except with respect to taxes) and in respect of voting power.
At the effective time of the Subsequent LP Merger and the GP Merger (the Subsequent Effective Time), (a) pursuant to the GP Merger, all of the membership interests in the General Partner (the GP Membership Interests) held by Spartan Energy Holdco LLC (together with certain of its affiliates, Spartan) will be automatically cancelled, retired and cease to exist for no consideration and (b) pursuant to the Subsequent LP Merger, (i) each Electing Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Subsequent Effective Time will be automatically cancelled, retired and shall cease to exist and will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of units in Kodiak Services (OpCo Units) equal to the Exchange Ratio, with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional units, if any, and an equal number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of Kodiak (Series A Preferred Stock) (which we refer to as the Up-C Consideration) and (ii) the general partner interest in the Partnership held by the General Partner (the Partnership GP Interest) will represent the right for Spartan, as the former holder of the GP Membership Interests, to receive a number of OpCo Units and shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to (A) the number of notional units representing the economic Partnership GP Interest in the Partnership multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional units, if any, and an equal number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which we refer to as the Partnership GP Interest Merger Consideration).
Following the Mergers and subject to certain limitations, each Electing Unitholder will have the right to cause Kodiak Services to redeem each of its OpCo Units for either, at Kodiak Services election, (i) one share of Kodiak Common Stock (together with the cancellation of one share of Series A Preferred Stock), subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions, or (ii) an equivalent amount of cash, pursuant to the terms of the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Kodiak Services (the OpCo LLC Agreement) that will be effective at the closing of the Mergers and is attached as Exhibit A to the merger agreement. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the redemption right, Kodiak (instead of Kodiak Services) will have the right to, for administrative convenience, acquire each tendered OpCo Unit directly from the redeeming Electing Unitholder. In addition, Kodiak has the right to require the redemption of all or a portion of an Electing Unitholders OpCo Units in certain circumstances. Subject to certain exceptions in the OpCo LLC Agreement, Electing Unitholders will not be able to sell, transfer or redeem OpCo Units and Series A Preferred Stock prior to 180 days following the closing of the Mergers contemplated by the merger agreement.
