Legal Notice / Forward Looking Statements 2 The statements in this presentation regarding future events, occurrences, circumstances, activities, performance, outcomes and results are forward-looking statements. Although these statements reflect the current views, assumptions and expectations of Crestwood LP's management, the matters addressed herein are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which could cause actual activities, performance, outcomes and results to differ materially from those indicated. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Crestwood Holdings and Crestwood LP, including future financial and operating results, the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. Factors that could result in such differences or otherwise materially affect Crestwood LP's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows include: changes in general economic conditions; fluctuations in natural gas prices; failure or delays by our customers in achieving expected production natural gas projects; competitive conditions in our industry; actions taken or non- performance by third parties, including suppliers, contractors, operators, processors, transporters and customers; fluctuations in the value of certain of our assets and liabilities; changes in the availability and cost of capital; operating hazards, natural disasters, weather-related delays, casualty losses and other matters beyond our control; construction costs or capital expenditures exceeding estimated or budgeted amounts; the effects of existing and future laws and governmental regulations, including environmental and climate change requirements; and the effects of existing and future litigation; as well as other factors disclosed in Crestwood LP's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, there are significant risks and uncertainties relating to our pending acquisition of the midstream assets of Frontier Gas Services, LLC and, if we acquire such assets, our ownership of them, including (a) the acquisition may not be consummated, (b) the representations, warranties, and indemnifications by Frontier are limited in the acquisition agreement and our diligence into the business has been limited; as a result, the assumptions on which our estimates of future results of the business have been based may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways, resulting in our not realizing the expected benefits of the acquisition and our having limited recourse against Frontier, (c) financing the acquisition will substantially increase our leverage, (d) we may not be able to obtain debt financing for the acquisition on expected or acceptable terms, which would require us to draw on the committed bridge and make the acquisition less accretive, (e) the closing of the acquisition is not subject to a financing condition and our bridge does not backstop the equity portion of our purchase price or our equity commitments, which means we may be obligated to close the acquisition even if we do not have sufficient funds available to pay the purchase price, (f) the acquisition could expose us to additional unknown and contingent liabilities, (g) we may not be able to successfully integrate the business, or our cost savings and other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, and (h) we may experience disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after today's date except to the extent required by applicable law. You should read our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, for a more extensive list of factors that could affect results. |
