Partnership Equity and Distributions |
Partnership Equity and Distributions | (7)Partnership Equity and Distributions Our Minimum Quarterly Distribution Our partnership agreement provides for a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.17 per unit for each quarter, or $0.68 per unit on an annualized basis. If cash distributions to our unitholders exceed $0.1955 per common unit in any quarter, our unitholders and the holder of our incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”), will receive distributions according to the following percentage allocations:
|  | Marginal Percentage |
|  | Interest in Distributions |
Total Quarterly Distribution |  |  |  | Holder of |
Target Amount |  | Unitholders |  | IDRs |
above $0.1955 up to $0.2125 |  | 85 | % | 15 | %
above $0.2125 up to $0.2550 |  | 75 | % | 25 | %
above $0.2550 |  | 50 | % | 50 | %
General Partner Interest Our general partner, AMP GP, owns a non-economic general partner interest in us, which does not entitle it to receive cash distributions. However, AMGP controls the holder of the IDRs and may in the future own common units or other equity interests in us and would be entitled to receive distributions on any such interests. Upon payment of the February 8, 2017 distribution to unitholders, the requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied under our partnership agreement. As a result, effective February 9, 2017, the 75,940,957 subordinated units owned by Antero Resources were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis and now participate on terms equal with all other common units in distributions of available cash. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distributions paid by the Partnership or the total units outstanding, as shown on the “Conversion of subordinated units to common units” line item on our condensed consolidated Statement of Partners’ Capital. Cash Distributions The board of directors of our general partner has declared a cash distribution of $0.34 per unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The distribution will be payable on November 16, 2017 to unitholders of record as of November 1, 2017. The following table details the amount of quarterly distributions the Partnership paid for each of its partnership interests, with respect to the quarter indicated (in thousands, except per unit data):
