STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D

 

Explanatory Notes: This Amendment No. 10 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Initial Statement”) originally filed on May 25, 2001, relating to the shares of Kinder Morgan Management, LLC owned by Kinder Morgan, Inc., Knight Midco Inc., Knight Holdco DE Inc. and Knight Holdco LLC (such Initial Statement, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 dated September 17, 2002, Amendment No. 2 dated March 27, 2003, Amendment No. 3 dated August 29, 2003, Amendment No. 4 dated March 18, 2005, Amendment No. 5 dated June 25, 2005, Amendment No. 6 dated November 14, 2005, Amendment No. 7 dated January 6, 2006, Amendment No. 8 dated June 11, 2007 and Amendment No. 9 dated July 13, 2007, the “Statement”).

 

On May 31, 2007, Kinder Morgan, Inc., a Kansas corporation, changed its name to Knight, Inc. in connection with the company’s “going private” transaction.

 

On July 15, 2009, Knight, Inc. changed its name to back to Kinder Morgan, Inc., Knight Midco Inc. changed its name to Kinder Morgan Midco Inc., Knight Holdco DE Inc. changed its name to Kinder Morgan Holdco DE Inc. and Knight Holdco LLC changed its name to Kinder Morgan Holdco LLC.

 

On November 9, 2010, Kinder Morgan Midco Inc. (formerly Knight Midco Inc.) changed its name to Kinder Morgan Holdco Sub Inc. On February 10, 2011, Kinder Morgan, Inc. (formerly Knight, Inc., a Kansas corporation) changed its name to Kinder Morgan Kansas, Inc.

 

In connection with Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s initial public offering, on February 10, 2011, Kinder Morgan Holdco LLC was converted from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation named Kinder Morgan, Inc.  As a result of the conversion and initial public offering, the members of Kinder Morgan Holdco LLC became shareholders of Kinder Morgan, Inc. and no longer may be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power over the Shares.

 

On February 11, 2011, Kinder Morgan Kansas, Inc. and Kinder Morgan Holdco Sub Inc. were each merged with and into Kinder Morgan Holdco DE Inc., their parent company.

 

On February 29, 2012, Kinder Morgan Holdco DE Inc. was merged with and into Kinder Morgan, Inc., its parent corporation.  As a result of the transactions described above Knight Inc. (formerly Kinder Morgan, Inc., a Kansas corporation), Knight Midco Inc. and Knight Holdco DE Inc. and Knight Holdco LLC are no longer Reporting Persons.

 

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

 

Item 1 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

This Statement relates to the shares (the “Shares”) of Kinder Morgan Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer” or “KMR”), whose principal executive offices are located at 1001 Louisiana Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002.

 

Item 2.  Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Statement is supplemented as follows:

 

This Statement is filed by Kinder Morgan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Reporting Person” or “KMI”). The Reporting Person is the largest midstream and third largest energy company in North America.  It owns an interest in or operates approximately 80,000 miles of pipeline and 180 terminals. Its pipelines transport natural gas, gasoline, crude oil, carbon dioxide and other products, and its terminals store petroleum products and chemicals and handle such products as ethanol, coal, petroleum coke and steel. In addition, the Reporting Person indirectly owns all of the outstanding common stock of Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., the general partner of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P.  The address of the principal business and office of the Reporting Person is 1001 Louisiana Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002.

On August 9, 2014, KMI, together with R Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of KMI (“R Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “KMR Merger Agreement”) with KMR.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the KMR Merger Agreement, R Merger Sub will merge with and into KMR (the “KMR Merger”), and the separate limited liability company existence of R Merger Sub will cease and KMR will continue its existence as a limited liability company under Delaware law as the surviving entity in the KMR Merger.

 

At the effective time of the KMR Merger, each voting share and listed Share of KMR issued and outstanding (excluding listed shares owned by KMR, KMI, R Merger Sub or KMP GP) will be converted into the right to receive 2.4849 shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Class P Common Stock of KMI.

 

The foregoing summary of the KMR Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the KMR Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The response in Item 3 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As promptly as possible after the effective time of the merger, the Reporting Person will cause the Shares to be (a) delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and (b) deregistered under the Act.

 

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal with respect to any action that would result in the occurrence of any of the matters enumerated under Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate specific plans or proposals with respect to, or to change its intentions regarding, any or all of the foregoing.
