Fourth Repurchase Agreement

On June 29, 2023, pursuant to a Unit Repurchase Agreement, dated June 26, 2023 (the “Fourth Repurchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, HESM Opco, Hess Investments and Blue Holding, HESM Opco purchased from each of Hess Investments and Blue Holding 1,675,042 Opco Class B Units (the “Repurchased Units”) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $100 million, or $29.85 per unit (the “Fourth Repurchase Transaction”). Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Repurchase Agreement, immediately following the closing of the Fourth Repurchase Transaction, HESM Opco cancelled the Repurchased Units, and the Issuer cancelled, for no consideration, an equal number of Class B Shares held by New HESM GP LP in accordance with Section 5.5(e) of the Amended Opco Partnership Agreement.

The above description of the Fourth Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The following sets forth the aggregate number of Class A Shares and percentage of Class A Shares outstanding beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of Class A Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, as of the date hereof, based on 56,858,493 Class A Shares outstanding following the consummation of the Fourth Repurchase Transaction and the cancellation of the Repurchased Units and an equal number of Class B Shares:

New HESM GP LP is the record holder of 898,000 Class A Shares. HIP GP LLC is the sole member of New HESM GP LLC, which is the general partner of New HESM GP LP. HIP GP LLC is a 50/50 joint venture between Hess Investments and Blue Holding.
