Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is filed by John J. Sherman, Phillip L. Elbert, R. Brooks Sherman, Jr., Andrew L. Atterbury, William C. Gautreaux, Carl A. Hughes, Inergy, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and Inergy GP, LLC (the “General Partner,” and together with Mr. John Sherman, Mr. Elbert, Mr. Brooks Sherman, Mr. Atterbury, Mr. Gautreaux, Mr. Hughes and the Partnership, the “Reporting Persons”). This Amendment amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2010 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) in respect of common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) in Inergy Holdings, L.P. (the “Issuer”). The Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the Reporting Persons as set forth below in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer’s purpose will be limited to owning all of the limited liability company interests in, and being the sole member of, the General Partner, and Holdings GP will cause the Issuer not to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business activity other than the ownership, and being a member, of the General Partner and immaterial or administrative actions related thereto, without the prior consent of the New NRGP LP. On November 8, 2010, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) filed a Form 25 (Notice of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and trading of the Common Units on the NYSE was suspended from trading before the opening of the market. Therefore, the Issuer is no longer a publicly traded partnership on the NYSE.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

Merger Agreement

On September 3, 2010, the Partnership, the General Partner, the Issuer, Holdings GP, New NRGP LP and MergerCo entered into the First Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which amended and restated the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 7, 2010. At the Special Meeting of Unitholders of the Issuer held on November 2, 2010, the Issuer’s unitholders approved the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. On November 5, 2010, the effective date of the Merger, all outstanding Common Units were converted into the right to receive 0.77 Inergy LP Units, except that with respect to the 11,568,560 Inergy LP Units to which certain members of senior management and directors of Holdings GP and other beneficial owners of Common Units (the “PIK Recipients”) otherwise would be entitled pursuant to the Merger, the respective PIK Recipients will instead be entitled to receive Class B units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership in accordance with the Merger Agreement, with any fractional units to be paid in cash.

Support Agreement

Also on November 5, 2010, the Support Agreement, by and among the Partnership and the Unitholders terminated in accordance with its terms upon the effective time of the Merger. Therefore, the Reporting Persons may no longer be deemed to be members of a group for purposes of this Schedule.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

(e) Upon the closing of the Merger on November 5, 2010, all of the then outstanding Common Units were cancelled and converted into the right to receive Inergy LP Units and Class B Units, as applicable, in accordance with the

 

10


Merger Agreement. Therefore, the Reporting Persons own no Common Units and ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Common Units on November 5, 2010. This is the final amendment to the Original Schedule 13D and an exit filing.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

First Amendment to Unitholder Agreement

On November 4, 2010, the parties to the Unitholder Agreement entered the First Amendment to Unitholder Agreement, which, among other things, eliminated restrictions on the transfer of Common Units under Article IV of the Unitholder Agreement. The description contained in this Item 6 of the First Amendment to Unitholder Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment to Unitholder Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 6 hereto.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

 

Exhibit 1 Joint Filing Agreement (incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on August 9, 2010).
