This was excluding the overallotment option for underwriters. Investors have been showing great interest in TEGP, which although being an MLP company, has a much simpler structure. Additionally, the company is involved in the oil and gas business, which has been taking a toll due to falling prices.

TEGP follows an Up-C structure, which has a number of features, one being the avoiding of the complicated K-1 tax form. Additionally, it means that distributions paid to shareholders would be treated as return of capital. The company dividends would also increase with increase in distribution of Tallgrass Energy Partners. However, a fall in the distribution amongst the partners would mean a loss for the investors of Tallgrass Energy GP LP. The trading on NYSE is expected to begin soon.
