Western Gas Partners, LP is a limited partnership that owns and operates midstream assets in the natural gas field in the United States.

According to the Complaint, this action stems from a proposed transaction announced on November 8, 2018 (the “Proposed Transaction”), pursuant to which Western Gas Partners, LP will be acquired by Western Gas Equity Partners, LP and its affiliates.

On January 28, 2019, Defendants filed a Proxy Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Proposed Transaction. The Complaint alleges that the Proxy Statement, which scheduled a unitholder vote on the Proposed Transaction for February 27, 2019, omits material information with respect to the Proposed Transaction, which renders the Proxy Statement false and misleading.

This case was voluntarily dismissed on February 15, 2019.
