Kodiak

On July 19, 2017, Alliance Minerals purchased $100 million of Series A-1 Preferred Interests from Kodiak, a privately-held company providing large-scale, high-utilization gas compression assets to customers operating primarily in the Permian Basin.  This structured investment provided us with a quarterly cash or payment-in-kind return.  On February 8, 2019, Kodiak redeemed our preferred interest for $135.0 million in cash resulting in an $11.5 million gain due to an early redemption premium. The gain is included in the Equity securities income line item.  We no longer hold any ownership interests in Kodiak.  Prior to the redemption, we accounted for our ownership interests in Kodiak as equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
