Market Research Endorses the Merger “The deal provides CMLP with (1) an enhanced set of midstream logistics assets beyond gathering and processing in several attractive basins (Marcellus, Bakken, etc.), (2) improves the organic growth profile for the partnership, and (3) provides further scale, geographic diversification, and a larger platform from which to pursue additional organic and acquisition related growth.” —Wells Fargo “The combined entity will have a diverse asset mix (nat gas storage and transportation 32%, crude /NGL supply logistics 26%, gathering 25%) and an EBITDA base of ~$450 mm, with a lower cost of capital and $2 billion of potential green field and bolt-on acquisition opportunities across various producing basins.” —Barclays “The merger should provide better access to capital and allow the partnership to execute on more sizable organic and acquisition opportunities. —RBC “We support the view that this combination could drive attractive synergies given the limited customer overlap and enhanced service offerings leading to cross-selling opportunities. Moreover, we believe this merger could lead to an overall lower cost of capital given the diversification and scale.” —JP Morgan “In our view the Crestwood merger has the potential to be transformational for Inergy. While integration risks remain, we believe the merger will significantly enhance the long-term distribution growth potential of the partnership. In our view, NRGY’s biggest challenge prior to the merger was growth. This merger directly addresses this issue.” —Credit Suisse “The transaction will transform NRGM from a smaller storage and transportation MLP to a financial sponsor- backed integrated midstream MLP. The transaction will be a credit positive, setting NRGM on a path towards an investment grade rating.” —Guzman & Co 25
