INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule”) is being filed by (i) Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“KMP”), and the issuer of the common units which are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (ii) Kinder Morgan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KMI”), (iii) Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KMGP”), (iv) Kinder Morgan Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“KMR”), and (v) P Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“P Merger Sub”) and (vi) Richard D. Kinder. This Schedule relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2014, by and among KMP, KMI, KMGP, KMR and P Merger Sub (the “KMP merger agreement”).
KMI has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-198411) (as amended by Amendments No. 1, 2 and 3 thereto, the “Form S-4”), which contains a proxy statement/prospectus (the “KMP proxy statement/prospectus”), which constitutes (i) a prospectus of KMI under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the KMI common stock to be issued pursuant to the KMP merger agreement and (ii) a notice of meeting and a proxy statement of KMP under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to the special meeting of KMP unitholders, at which KMP unitholders were asked to consider and vote on, among other matters, a proposal to approve the KMP merger agreement. The Form S-4 was declared effective by the SEC on October 22, 2014, and the KMP proxy statement/prospectus was mailed to KMP unitholders on or about October 22, 2014. A copy of the KMP proxy statement/prospectus is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(3) and a copy of the KMP merger agreement is attached as Annex A to the KMP proxy statement/prospectus. All references in this Schedule to Items numbered 1001 to 1016 are references to Items contained in Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act.
This Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Schedule.
The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the KMP proxy statement/prospectus of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3. The information contained in the KMP proxy statement/prospectus, including all annexes thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. Terms used but not defined in this Schedule shall have the meanings given to them in the KMP proxy statement/prospectus.
Item 15. Additional Information.
Regulation M-A Item 1011
Item 15 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On November 20, 2014, KMP held a special meeting of its unitholders in order to vote upon proposals relating to the proposed KMP merger. At the meeting, the KMP unitholders voted to approve the KMP merger agreement.
On November 26, 2014, the parties filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which P Merger Sub was merged with and into KMP, with KMP continuing as the surviving limited partnership. As a result of the KMP merger, KMP became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of KMI.
As a result of the KMP merger, the registration of KMP’s common units under the Exchange Act will be terminated upon application to the SEC, and KMP’s common units will no longer be listed on any quotation system or exchange, including the New York Stock Exchange.
