Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “position,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or comparable terminology. In particular, expressed or implied statements concerning future actions, conditions or events, future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow or to pay dividends are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict.

See “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (2013 Form 10-K) and Item 1A “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report for a more detailed description of factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, one should keep in mind the risk factors described in our 2013 Form 10-K. The risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Because of these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We plan to provide updates to projections included in this report when we believe previously disclosed projections no longer have a reasonable basis.

Basis of Presentation

General

Our reporting currency is U.S. dollars, and all references to dollars are U.S. dollars, except where stated otherwise. Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), the single source of GAAP. Under such rules and regulations, all significant intercompany items have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, we have condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with the Codification. We believe, however, that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect normal adjustments, and also recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial results for the interim periods. In addition, certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation (including reclassifications between “Services” and “Product sales and other” within the “Revenues” section of our accompanying consolidated statements of income). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year; accordingly, you should read these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries including the accounts of KMP, EPB and KMR. Investments in jointly-owned operations in which we hold a 50% or less interest (other than KMP, EPB and KMR, because we have the ability to exercise significant control over their operating and financial policies) are accounted for under the equity method.

Notwithstanding the consolidation of KMP and EPB, and their respective subsidiaries, into our financial statements, we are not liable for, and our assets are not available to satisfy, the obligations of KMP and EPB, and/or their respective subsidiaries, and vice versa, except as discussed in Note 10, “Litigation, Environmental and Other Contingencies — Other Contingencies.” Responsibility for payments of obligations reflected in our, KMP’s or EPB’s financial statements is a legal determination based on the entity that incurs the liability.

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year. There were no impairment charges resulting from our May 31, 2014 impairment testing, and no event indicating an impairment has occurred subsequent to that date.

Earnings per Share

We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method. Earnings were allocated to Class P shares of common stock and participating securities based on the amount of dividends paid in the current period plus an allocation of the undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings to the extent that each security participates in earnings or excess distributions over earnings. Our unvested restricted stock awards do not participate in excess distributions over earnings.

The following table sets forth the allocation of net income available to shareholders for Class P shares and for participating securities (in millions):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Class P	$	327	$	283	$	892	$	851
Participating securities(a)	2		3		8		4
Net Income Attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc.	$	329	$	286	$	900	$	855

_______


(a)	Participating securities are unvested restricted stock awards issued to management employees that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments.

The following potential common stock equivalents are antidilutive and, accordingly, are excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share (in millions on a weighted-average basis):



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

Outstanding warrants to purchase our Class P shares(a)	298	400	316	419
Convertible trust preferred securities	10	10	10	10

_______


(a)	Each of our warrants entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock for an exercise price of $40 per share, payable in cash or by cashless exercise, at any time until May 25, 2017.

Recent Developments

On August 9, 2014, we entered into a separate definitive merger agreement with each of KMP, KMR and EPB, pursuant to which we will acquire directly or indirectly all of the outstanding common units of KMP and EPB and all of the outstanding shares of KMR that we and our subsidiaries do not already own. The transactions contemplated by these three merger agreements are referred to collectively as the “Merger Transactions.”

If the Merger Transactions are completed, all the outstanding KMR shares not owned by us or our subsidiaries will be converted into the right to receive shares of our common stock, and all of the outstanding KMP and EPB common units not owned by us or our subsidiaries will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each unitholder but subject to proration, shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of the two.

The completion of each merger is contingent upon the completion of the other two. The completion of each merger is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including but not limited to: (a) approval of the merger agreement by the unitholders or shareholders of KMP, KMR or EPB, as applicable; and (b) approval by our stockholders of (i) the amendment of our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and (ii) the issuance of our common stock in the Merger Transactions, as required pursuant to certain rules of the NYSE.



Table of Contents		Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

Each merger agreement contains certain customary termination rights. In the event of termination of the KMP merger agreement under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay KMP a termination fee of $817 million through a waiver by KMGP of its incentive distribution rights over a period of eight fiscal quarters and, under other specified circumstances, KMP may be required to pay us a termination fee of $817 million in cash. In the event of termination of the KMR merger agreement under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay KMR a termination fee of $311 million in cash and, under other specified circumstances, KMR may be required to pay us a termination fee of $311 million in cash. There is no termination fee payable by either us or EPB under any circumstance under the EPB merger agreement. Either we or KMP, KMR or EPB, as applicable, may terminate the KMP merger agreement, the KMR merger agreement or the EPB merger agreement, respectively, if the closing of the merger contemplated by such merger agreement has not occurred on or before May 11, 2015.

Each merger agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to the conduct of each party’s business between the date of the signing of such merger agreement and the closing of the Merger Transactions. On October 22, 2014, we, KMP, KMR and EPB each (i) announced November 20, 2014 as the date for the respective special meetings of shareholders or unitholders to vote on the proposals related to the Merger Transactions; and (ii) commenced mailing of proxy materials to the respective shareholders or unitholders. Unitholders and shareholders of record at the close of business on October 20, 2014, will be entitled to vote at the applicable special meeting.

As we control each of KMP, KMR and EPB and will continue to control each of them after the Merger Transactions, the changes in our ownership interest in each of KMP, KMR and EPB will be accounted for as an equity transaction and no gain or loss will be recognized in our consolidated statements of income resulting from the mergers.

As previously announced, KMI expects to finance the cash portion of the merger consideration for the KMP merger and the EPB merger and the fees and expenses of the Merger Transactions with the proceeds of the issuance of debt securities in capital markets transactions. To the extent the proceeds of the issuance of debt securities are not sufficient, the proceeds of the Bridge Facility discussed below are expected to be used.

On September 19, 2014, KMI entered into a Bridge Credit Agreement (the “Bridge Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Bridge Facility provides for up to a $5.0 billion term loan facility which, if funded, will mature 364 days following the closing date of the Merger Transactions. KMI may use borrowings under the Bridge Facility to pay cash consideration and transaction costs associated with the Merger Transactions. KMI also may use a portion of the borrowings under the Bridge Facility to refinance certain term loan facility indebtedness. Interest on borrowings under the Bridge Facility will initially be calculated based on either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.250% to 1.750% per annum based on the credit rating of KMI’s senior unsecured non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money (“KMI’s Credit Rating”); or (ii) the greatest of (1) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%; (2) the Prime Rate in effect for such day; and (3) the LIBOR Rate for a Eurodollar Loan with a one month interest period that begins on such day plus 1%, plus, in each case an applicable margin ranging from 0.250% to 0.750% per annum based on KMI’s Credit Rating. In addition, in each case the applicable margin will increase by 0.25% for each 90 day period that any loans remain outstanding under the Bridge Facility. The Bridge Facility provides for the payment by KMI of certain fees, including but not limited to a ticking fee and a duration fee. The Bridge Facility contains a financial covenant providing for a maximum debt to Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes and Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (EBITDA) ratio of 6.50 to 1.00 and various other covenants that are substantially consistent with the Prior Credit Facilities, discussed below.

On September 19, 2014, KMI entered into a replacement revolving credit agreement (the “Replacement Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Replacement Facility provides for up to $4.0 billion in borrowing capacity, which can be increased to $5.0 billion if certain conditions are met, and has a five-year term. In connection with the consummation of the Merger Transactions, the Replacement Facility will replace (i) the existing credit agreement, dated as of May 6, 2014, by and among KMI, various lenders, and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (“KMI’s Existing Credit Agreement”); (ii) the facilities set forth in the credit agreement, dated as of May 1, 2013, among KMP, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the other lenders and agents party thereto (the “KMP Credit Agreement”); and (iii) the facilities set forth in the credit agreement, dated May 27, 2011, among EPPOC, Wyoming Interstate Company, L.L.C., EPB, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders and letter of credit issuers from time to time parties thereto (the “EPB Credit Agreement” and, together with KMI’s Existing Credit Agreement and the KMP Credit Agreement, the “Prior Credit Facilities”). Borrowings under the Replacement Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Interest on the Replacement Facility will be calculated based on either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.000% per annum based on KMI’s Credit Rating; or (ii) the greatest of (1) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%; (2) the prime rate in effect for such day; and (3) the LIBOR Rate for a Eurodollar Loan with a one month interest period that begins on such day plus 1%, plus, in each case, an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.000% per annum based on KMI’s Credit Rating. The Replacement Facility contains a financial covenant providing for a



Table of Contents		Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 6.50 to 1.00 (which falls to 6.25 to 1.00 for periods ending in 2018 and 6.00 to 1.00 for periods ending in 2019) and various other covenants that are substantially consistent with the Prior Credit Facilities.

2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

American Petroleum Tankers and State Class Tankers

Effective January 17, 2014, KMP acquired APT and State Class Tankers (SCT) for aggregate consideration of $961 million in cash (the APT acquisition). APT is engaged in the marine transportation of crude oil, condensate and refined products in the U.S. domestic trade, commonly referred to as the Jones Act trade. APT’s primary assets consist of a fleet of five medium range Jones Act qualified product tankers, each with 330 MBbl of cargo capacity, and each operating pursuant to long-term time charters with high quality counterparties, including major integrated oil companies, major refiners and the U.S. Military Sealift Command. As of the closing date, the vessels’ time charters had an average remaining term of approximately four years, with renewal options to extend the terms by an average of two years. APT’s vessels are operated by Crowley Maritime Corporation.

SCT has commissioned the construction of four medium range Jones Act qualified product tankers, each with 330 MBbl of cargo capacity. The SCT vessels are scheduled to be delivered in 2015 and 2016 and are being constructed by General Dynamics’ NASSCO shipyard. KMP expects to invest approximately $214 million to complete the construction of these four SCT vessels, and upon delivery, the vessels will be operated pursuant to long-term time charters with a major integrated oil company. Each of the time charters has an initial term of five years, with renewal options to extend the term by up to three years. The APT acquisition complements and extends KMP’s existing crude oil and refined products transportation and storage business. We include the acquired assets as part of the Terminals—KMP business segment.

As of September 30, 2014, KMP’s preliminary purchase price allocation related to the APT acquisition, as adjusted to date, is as follows (in millions). The evaluation of the assigned fair values is ongoing and subject to adjustment.



Purchase Price Allocation:
Current assets	$	6
Property, plant and equipment	951
Goodwill	67
Other assets	3
Total assets acquired	1,027
Current liabilities	(5		)
Unfavorable customer contracts	(61		)
Cash consideration	$	961

The “Goodwill” intangible asset amount represents the future economic benefits expected to be derived from KMP’s acquisition that are not assignable to other individually identifiable, separately recognizable assets acquired. We believe the goodwill was primarily generated by the value of the synergies created by expanding KMP’s non-pipeline liquids handling operations. Furthermore, KMP expects to fully deduct for tax purposes the entire amount of goodwill recognized. The “Unfavorable customer contracts” figure represents the amount, on a present value basis, by which the customer contracts were below market day rates at the time of acquisition. This amount is being amortized as a noncash adjustment to revenue over the remaining contract period.

Other

Effective May 1, 2013, KMP acquired all of Copano’s outstanding units for a total purchase price of approximately $5.2 billion (including assumed debt and all other assumed liabilities). The transaction was a 100% unit for unit transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.4563 of KMP’s common units for each Copano common unit. KMP issued 43,371,210 of its common units valued at $3,733 million as consideration for the Copano acquisition (based on the $86.08 closing market price of a common unit on the NYSE on the May 1, 2013 issuance date). Also, due to the fact that KMP’s Copano acquisition included the remaining 50% interest in Eagle Ford that it did not already own, KMP remeasured its existing 50% equity investment in Eagle Ford to its fair value as of the acquisition date. As a result of this remeasurement, we recognized a $558 million non-cash gain, which represented the excess of the investment’s fair value ($704 million) over the carrying value as of May 1, 2013 ($146 million), and we reported this gain separately as “Gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest in Eagle Ford to fair value” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2014, the final purchase price allocation related to the Copano acquisition was as follows (in millions):



Purchase Price Allocation:
Current assets (including cash acquired of $30)	$	218
Property, plant and equipment	2,788
Investments	300
Goodwill	1,248
Other intangibles	1,375
Other assets	13
Total assets	5,942
Less: Fair value of previously held 50% interest in Eagle Ford	(704		)
Total assets acquired	5,238
Current liabilities	(208		)
Other liabilities	(28		)
Long-term debt	(1,252		)
Noncontrolling interests	(17		)
Common unit consideration	$	3,733

The table above reflects changes we made in the first six months of 2014 to our preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2013. Based on our final measurement of fair values for all of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, we reduced the preliminary value assigned to (i) “Investments” by $87 million; (ii) “Property, plant and equipment” by $17 million; and (iii) combined working capital items by $3 million.

The “Goodwill” intangible asset amount represents the future economic benefits expected to be derived from this acquisition that are not assignable to other individually identifiable, separately recognizable assets acquired. We believe the goodwill was primarily generated by the value of the synergies created by expanding KMP’s natural gas gathering and refined product transportation operations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and is subject to an impairment test at least annually. The “Other intangibles” asset amount represents the fair value of acquired customer contracts and agreements. We are currently amortizing these intangible assets over an estimated remaining useful life of 25 years.

Our accounting policy is to apply the look-through method of recording deferred taxes on the outside book tax basis differences in our investments without regard to non-tax deductible goodwill. As a result of the goodwill recorded by KMP for its Copano acquisition, KMI’s deferred tax liability and goodwill were decreased by $285 million for the portion of its outside basis difference associated with KMP’s underlying goodwill.

Effective June 1, 2013, KMP acquired certain oil and gas properties, rights, and related assets located in the Goldsmith Landreth San Andres oil field unit in the Permian Basin of West Texas from Legado Resources LLC for an aggregate consideration of $298 million, consisting of $280 million in cash and assumed liabilities of $18 million (including $12 million of long-term asset retirement obligations).

Divestitures

Express Pipeline System

Effective March 14, 2013, KMP sold both its one-third equity ownership interest in the Express pipeline system and its subordinated debenture investment in Express to Spectra Energy Corp. KMP received net cash proceeds of $402 million (after paying $1 million in the third quarter of 2013 for both a final working capital settlement and certain transaction-related selling expenses), and we reported the net cash proceeds received within “Proceeds from sales of investments” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, we recognized a combined $224 million pre-tax gain with respect to this sale, and we reported this gain amount separately as “(Loss) gain on sale of investments in Express pipeline system” on our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We also recorded an income tax expense of $84 million related to this gain on sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and we included this expense within “Income Tax Expense.” As of the date of sale, KMP’s equity investment in Express totaled $67 million and its note receivable due from Express totaled $110 million.

BBPP Holdings Ltda

On January 18, 2013, we completed the sale of our equity interests in the Bolivia to Brazil Pipeline for $88 million, which amount is included in “Proceeds from sales of investments” within the investing section of our accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Drop-down of Assets to EPB

On May 2, 2014, EPB acquired from us our 50% equity interest in Ruby Pipeline Holding Company, L.L.C. (Ruby), our indirect 50% equity interest in Gulf LNG Holdings Group, L.L.C. (Gulf LNG) and our indirect 47.5% equity interest in Young Gas Storage Company, Ltd. in a transaction valued at approximately $2 billion (the “May 2014 drop-down transaction”). The transaction value includes approximately $1 billion of debt as of April 30, 2014, representing 50% of total debt of Ruby and Gulf LNG as of such date and was effective as of the close of business on April 30, 2014. Following the receipt of separate

fairness opinions from different investment banks, the terms of this drop-down transaction were approved on our behalf by the independent members of our board of directors and on EPB’s behalf by a conflicts committee comprised of the independent members of EPB’s general partner’s board of directors, and following the recommendation by such conflicts committee, by its general partner’s board of directors. The aggregate consideration of $972 million paid to us in this drop-down transaction consisted of approximately $875 million of cash and 3,059,924 newly issued EPB common units representing limited partner interests in EPB.

(a)	The senior secured term loan facility, due May 24, 2015, was repaid and replaced in May 2014 with a new unsecured senior term loan facility due May 6, 2017 (see “— Credit Facilities” below).

(b)

On June 30, 2014, El Paso Issuing Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of El Paso Holdco LLC and the corporate co-issuer under certain guaranteed notes, merged with and into El Paso Holdco LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KMI, and immediately thereafter, El Paso Holdco LLC merged with and into KMI pursuant to an internal restructuring transaction. KMI succeeded El Paso Holdco LLC as issuer with respect to these debt obligations. Consequently, El Paso Holdco LLC ceased to be an obligor with respect to approximately $3.6 billion of outstanding senior notes. Therefore, the condensed consolidating financial information that had previously been disclosed in the notes to our consolidated financial statements is no longer required as of June 30, 2014.


(c)	As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the weighted average interest rates on KMI’s credit facility borrowings were 2.16% and 2.67%, respectively.

(d)

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our “Debt fair value adjustments” increased our combined debt balances by $1,891 million and $1,977 million, respectively. In addition to all unamortized debt discount/premium amounts and purchase accounting on our debt balances, our debt fair value adjustments also include (i) amounts associated with the offsetting entry for hedged debt; and (ii) any unamortized portion of proceeds received from the early termination of interest rate swap agreements. For further information about our debt fair value adjustments, see Note 5 “Risk Management—Debt Fair Value Adjustments.”

(e)

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the average interest rate on KMP’s outstanding commercial paper borrowings was 0.27% and 0.28%, respectively. The borrowings under KMP’s commercial paper program were used principally to finance the acquisitions and capital expansions, and in the near term, KMP expects that its short-term liquidity and financing needs will be met primarily through borrowings made under its commercial paper program.


(f)	Amounts include outstanding commercial paper borrowings discussed above in footnote (e).


(g)	LIBOR plus 1.75%.

Credit Facilities

The following discussions represent the primary revolving credit facilities that were available to KMI and its subsidiaries, KMP and EPB, as of September 30, 2014. Additionally, on September 19, 2014, in anticipation of the announced Merger Transactions, KMI entered into an agreement for a Replacement Facility as discussed in Note 1, “General—Recent Developments,” that would replace these existing credit facilities upon the consummation of the Merger Transactions.

KMI

On May 2, 2014, KMI’s term loan facility was partially repaid using proceeds from the May 2014 drop-down transaction, resulting in a remaining outstanding balance of $650 million. On May 6, 2014, KMI replaced its previous $1.75 billion secured revolving credit facility and its term loan facility, which were scheduled to mature in December 2014 and May 2015, respectively, with a new $1.75 billion five-year, unsecured revolving credit facility due May 2019 and a new $650 million three-year, term loan facility maturing May 2017. Additionally, as a result of the new unsecured revolving credit and term loan facilities, KMI’s and its wholly-owned subsidiaries’ senior notes are now unsecured. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit facility’s financial covenants are similar to those in our previous revolving credit facility, including restrictions on incurring indebtedness, entering into mergers, granting liens and making any dividends if an event of default exists. The covenants also include a maximum ratio of total debt (net of cash on hand) divided by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement and which includes cash items from operations and distributions received from subsidiaries or investments, and excludes non-cash items) of 4.75 or 5.5 for periods following specified acquisitions. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all required financial covenants. The new revolving credit facility provides that the margin we will pay with respect to borrowings and the facility fee we will pay on the total commitment will vary based on our senior debt rating. Interest on the new revolving credit facility accrues at KMI’s option at a floating rate equal to either:

5. Risk Management

Certain of our business activities expose us to risks associated with unfavorable changes in the market price of natural gas, NGL and crude oil. We also have exposure to interest rate risk as a result of the issuance of our debt obligations. Pursuant to our management’s approved risk management policy, we use derivative contracts to hedge or reduce our exposure to certain of these risks.

As part of the EP acquisition, we acquired power forward and swap contracts. We have entered into offsetting positions that eliminate the price risks associated with our power contracts.

As of September 30, 2014, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged our exposure to the variability in future cash flows associated with energy commodity price risk is through December 2018.

Interest Rate Risk Management

As of September 30, 2014, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $5,775 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting the interest expense associated with certain series of senior notes from fixed rates to variable rates based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread. All of KMI’s and KMP’s swap agreements have termination dates that correspond to the maturity dates of the related series of senior notes and, as of September 30, 2014, the maximum length of time over which we have hedged a portion of our exposure to the variability in the value of this debt due to interest rate risk is through March 15, 2035.

As of December 31, 2013, KMI and KMP had a combined notional principal amount of $725 million and $4,675 million, respectively, of fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements. In February 2014, KMP entered into four separate fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements having a combined notional principal amount of $500 million. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the interest expense associated with KMP’s 3.50% senior notes due March 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread. Additionally, in September 2014, KMP entered into five separate fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements having a combined notional principal amount of $600 million. These agreements effectively convert a portion of the interest expense associated with KMP’s 4.25% senior notes due September 1, 2024, from a fixed rate to a variable rate based on an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread.
