HOUSTON, Aug. 10, 2014 — Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI), Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: KMP), Kinder Morgan Management, LLC (NYSE: KMR) and El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (NYSE: EPB) today announced that KMI will acquire all of the outstanding equity securities of KMP, KMR and EPB.

 

·                  KMP unitholders will receive 2.1931 KMI shares and $10.77 in cash for each KMP unit.  This results in a price of $89.98 per unit, a 12 percent premium based on the Aug. 8, 2014, closing prices.  This is a premium of 11.4 percent based on the July 16 closing price reference date used by the parties during the negotiation of the transaction.

·                  KMR shareholders will receive 2.4849 KMI shares for each share of KMR.  This results in a price of $89.75 per share, a 16.5 percent premium based on the Aug. 8, 2014, closing prices.  This is a premium of 16 percent based on the July 16 reference date used by the parties in the negotiation.  The parties negotiated consideration for KMR shares equal to the consideration for KMP units, using the July 16 reference date.

KMI has secured committed financing for the cash portion of the transaction.

 

“All shareholders and unitholders of the Kinder Morgan family of companies will benefit as a result of this combination,” said Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder.  “Everyone will hold a single, publicly traded security — KMI — which will have a projected dividend of $2.00 in 2015, a 16 percent increase over the anticipated 2014 dividend of $1.72.  We expect to grow the dividend by approximately 10 percent each year from 2015 through 2020, with excess coverage

anticipated to be greater than $2 billion over that same period.  This combined entity will be the largest energy infrastructure company in North America and the third largest energy company overall with an estimated enterprise value of approximately $140 billion.  Additionally, we will have a leading position in each of our business segments and operate in the rapidly growing North American energy infrastructure sector.”

 

KMI has reviewed the proposed transaction with the rating agencies and expects the combined entity will be investment grade.  The Kinder Morgan companies will put in place cross guarantees among and between the Kinder Morgan entities (with limited exceptions) to be effective on closing of the transaction in order to create a single creditor class and eliminate the structural subordination.

 

“This transaction dramatically simplifies the Kinder Morgan story, by transitioning from four separately traded equity securities today to one security going forward, and by eliminating the incentive distribution rights and structural subordination of debt,” Kinder said.  “Further, we believe that KMI will be a valuable acquisition currency and have a significantly lower hurdle for accretive investments in new energy infrastructure.  In the opportunity-rich environment of today’s energy infrastructure sector, we believe this transaction gives us the ability to grow KMI for years to come.”  The transaction also provides significant tax benefits for KMI shareholders from depreciation deductions associated with the upfront purchase and future capital expenditures.

 

KMP, KMR and EPB were represented in the negotiations by committees comprised exclusively of the independent members of the boards of the respective entities.  The boards of all the Kinder Morgan companies have voted to recommend the transaction to their respective unitholders and shareholders.  Each transaction is conditioned on the closing of the other transactions.  Following unitholders and shareholder votes and standard regulatory notifications and approvals, the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2014.  More information on the transaction, including the investor presentation, may be found in the Investor section of the Kinder Morgan website at www.kindermorgan.com.

 

Barclays and Citi acted as financial advisors to KMI, Barclays is providing committed financing for the transaction, and Weil Gotshal & Manges and Bracewell & Giuliani acted as

Substantial Value Uplift for KMP Unitholders 11 __________________________ 1) Calculated as 2014 distribution guidance of $5.58/ unit divided by current KMP unit price of $80.34. 2) Based on exchange ratio. 2015-2020 KMI price based conservatively on KMI yield level of 4.50%. 3) Based $36.12, taxes for an average unitholder are estimated to be $12.39/unit. Based on an assumed KMI price of $44.44 ($2.00 dividend and a conservative 4.5% KMI yield), taxes for an average unitholder are estimated to be $16.41/unit. These represent approximate calculations for an average unit holder. Actual gain could be more or less. Assumes passive losses have not been utilized and can be utilized on the sale to offset ordinary income. Assumes individual tax rate of 35% for ordinary income and 22% for capital gains for illustrative purposes.

Aug. 10, 2014

 

We are pleased to announce that Kinder Morgan, Inc. has entered into agreements to acquire all of the outstanding common units of KMP and EPB and all of the outstanding shares of KMR.  The result will be a simplified ownership structure under one publicly traded security, KMI.  We believe this transaction will be highly beneficial for our employees, all of the companies involved and our unitholders and shareholders.

 

As we have said many times, this is a very exciting time to be in the energy industry and we believe that we are still in the early stages of a tremendous infrastructure build out across North America.  By combining the Kinder Morgan family of companies we will be even better positioned to take advantage of this growth.  We are creating a company with world class assets housed under one roof with a lower cost of capital.  This will generate more opportunities and greater value for employees and shareholders.

 

·                  KMI will have a projected dividend of $2.00 per share in 2015, a 16 percent increase over the anticipated dividend of 2014.  We also expect to grow the dividend by 10 percent each year from 2015 through 2020 with significant excess coverage.

 

We want to thank all of you for making this transaction possible.  It is your dedication and hard work that have built the Kinder Morgan companies and made us a premier operator in the energy industry.

 

When the transaction is completed, likely by year end, KMI will continue to be the largest energy infrastructure company in North America and will be the third largest energy company overall with an enterprise value of approximately $140 billion.  The consolidation of KMI, KMP, KMR and EPB is expected to produce immediate value upon closing to all shareholders and unitholders.  Because the transaction consideration is mostly equity, KMP, KMR and EPB holders will be able to share in KMI’s substantial future growth opportunities.

 

The combined company will continue to be named Kinder Morgan, Inc. and corporate headquarters will remain in Houston.  We will continue to own and operate all of the same assets we do today.  We will be doing the same things we do today, but with the benefit of a simplified ownership structure.  So as employees we will see very little change in our daily activities.  We will continue to communicate with you in the coming months as we move through the transition process prior to closing.

 

As always, it is important for all of us to do everything we can to stay focused on performing our jobs to the best of our abilities to positively position the combined company for the future.  Our priorities remain the same.  We must focus on operating our assets safely and efficiently, striving for financial and operational excellence, assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and meeting our customers’ needs.

 

For more information about the transaction, please see the home page of KMONLINE.

Q                                       Why is KMI buying KMP, KMR and EPB?

A                                       All shareholders and unitholders of the Kinder Morgan family of company will benefit as a result of this combination.  KMI will have a projected dividend of $2.00 per share in 2015, a 16 percent increase over the anticipated 2014 dividend of $1.72 per share.  We expect to grow the dividend by approximately 10 percent each year from 2015 through 2020.  In addition to receiving a premium over the current value of their investments, KMP, KMR and EPB holders will be able to share in KMI’s future growth opportunities since the transaction consideration is mostly equity.  Additionally, this transaction dramatically simplifies the Kinder Morgan story by transitioning from four separately traded equity securities today, to one security going forward.  It also eliminates the incentive distribution rights and structural subordination of debt in the current structure.

 

Q                                       How does this transaction benefit the company moving forward?

A                                       We believe this transaction gives KMI the ability to grow for many years to come.  We believe KMI will become a valuable acquisition currency and have a significantly lower hurdle for accretive investments in new energy infrastructure.  This is important in today’s opportunity-rich environment for additional energy infrastructure in North America.  The transaction also provides significant tax benefits for KMI shareholders.

 

Q                                       What are the disadvantages to shareholders?

A                                       We believe there are tremendous advantages to equity holders of all of the Kinder Morgan companies.  Again, they will receive a premium on their current investments and be able to participate in the future growth of KMI.  Obviously at the end of the day it will be their choice whether to retain the KMI equity.

 

Q                                       Describe the approval process.

A                                       First of all, each transaction is conditioned on the closing of the other transactions.  Also, each entity will have a shareholder or unitholder vote.  The dates of those votes are yet to be determined.  In addition, standard regulatory approvals must be obtained.  No regulatory delays are expected.  We anticipate closing the transaction by the end of 2014.

 

Q                                       Do you anticipate any problems obtaining approvals?

A                                       No.  The boards of all the Kinder Morgan companies have voted to recommend the transaction to their respective unitholders and shareholders.

 

Q                                       How will combining the companies affect how you operate your businesses?

A                                       Operating our businesses will be “business as usual.”  This transaction is about corporate simplification and will not have any effect on how we operate our businesses.

 

1



 

Q                                       Will Kinder Morgan, Inc. be the name of the combined company?

A                                       Yes.  And the company’s headquarters will remain in Houston at 1001 Louisiana.

 

Q                                       What will be the makeup of the board of directors?

A                                       The KMI board may increase by up to six members, three each from the KMP and EPB boards.

 

Q                                       What will be the impact on employees?

A                                       We will continue to own and operate all of the same assets we do today.  We will be doing the same things we do today, but with the benefit of a simplified ownership structure.  Most employees will see very little, if any, change in their activities.  We do not anticipate any workforce reductions.
