The board of directors (the “Board”) of Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC, the general partner of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership”), has approved certain changes to the Partnership’s compensation program for its non-employee directors based on a review of the Board’s compensation. On May 11, 2012, the Board approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Crestwood Midstream Partners LP 2007 Equity Plan (the “Amended Plan”) to increase the annual cash compensation for non-employee directors from $50,000 to $70,000 and to increase the annual equity compensation for such directors from $50,000 to $70,000. The Amended Plan provides that the Board may, in its sole discretion, designate that some or all of the non-employee directors shall not receive grants of annual cash awards for service on the Board. Further, the Amended Plan establishes that the Board may provide additional cash compensation, in amounts determined by the Board, to the chairman of designated committees of the Board for the calendar year in which the service is performed.
The foregoing description is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
