Item 8.01. Other Information.

On September 9, 2026, USA Compression Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, USA Compression Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the several initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 thereto (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Issuers agreed to issue and sell to the Initial Purchasers $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 6.750% senior notes due 2035 (the “Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Partnership’s existing subsidiaries (other than Finance Corp.) and each of its future restricted subsidiaries that either borrows, or guarantees obligations, under the Partnership’s credit agreement or guarantees certain of the Partnership’s other indebtedness (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees will be sold to the Initial Purchasers at par, and the sale will result in net proceeds (after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) to the Issuers of approximately $592.1 million. The closing of the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees is expected to occur on or about September 18, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s credit agreement and to pay the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering.

The Notes and the Guarantees will be issued and sold to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereunder. The Initial Purchasers intend to resell the Notes and Guarantees (i) inside the United States to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act, in private sales exempt from registration under the Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A and (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”) in accordance with Regulation S. The Notes and Guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and includes the terms and conditions for the sale of the Notes and the Guarantees, indemnification (including indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act) and contribution obligations and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type.

The Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for the Partnership and its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In particular, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, acts as administrative agent under the Partnership’s credit agreement and certain of the Initial Purchasers or their affiliates are lenders, agents, lead arrangers and/or bookrunners under the Partnership’s credit agreement and, accordingly, such Initial Purchasers or their affiliates will receive a portion of the net proceeds from this offering that are used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s credit agreement. In addition, affiliates of the Initial Purchasers serve as agents and/or lenders under the credit facilities of the Partnership’s other affiliates. In addition, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the Initial Purchasers, is an affiliate of the trustee under the indenture that will govern the Notes.

In addition, the Issuers and the Guarantors have agreed with the Initial Purchasers not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any debt securities (other than the Notes) issued by the Issuers or any of the Guarantors for a period of 90 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement without the prior consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

On September 9, 2026, the Partnership issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, announcing the launch of the offering.

On September 9, 2026, the Partnership issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference, announcing the pricing of the offering.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
