EP Energy assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein or any other forward-looking statements made by EP Energy, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. This presentation presents certain production and reserves-related information on an "equivalency" basis. Equivalent volumes are computed with natural gas converted to barrels at a ratio of six Mcf to one Bbl. These conversions are based on energy equivalency conversion methods primarily applicable at the burner tip and do not represent value equivalencies at the wellhead. Although these conversion factors are industry accepted norms, they are not reflective of price or market value differentials between product types. These materials are provided pursuant to and subject to a confidentiality agreement between the recipient of these materials (“Reci pient”) and EP Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries (such agreement, the “Confidentiality Agreement”). These materials constitute “Confidential Information” as defined in the Confide ntiality Agreement and material nonpublic information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. These materials are provided subject in all respects to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and all federal and state rules of similar import. These materials are to be kept strictly confidential and are not for further dissemination, except as expressly set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement. Highly Confidential

Highly Confidential Subject to NDA Tax Attribute Discussion Materials for Sponsors (Cleansing Version) September 2019

GRAPHIC

 

Confidential Introduction EP Energy Corporation (the “Parent”; collectively with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the “Company”) is the owner of U.S. federal income tax attributes that may be of value under certain circumstances (as discussed further below, the “Tax Attributes”). These materials provide an overview of the Tax Attributes and certain potential implications for the Parent and its subsidiaries that are obligors on the Company’s funded debt (together, the “Credit Group”). The issues addressed herein are being presented on a highly confidential basis to the four major stockholders of the Parent (each, a “Sponsor”). These materials are intended to supplement a discussion with the Sponsors and their respective advisors. 1 Excludes EPE Employee Holdings II, L.L.C., which is believed to be immaterial to the analysis set forth in these materials. 1

Confidential The Company’s Corporate and Capital Structure 2

GRAPHIC

 

Confidential The Company’s Corporate and Capital Structure (cont’d) Parent is the only relevant taxable entity in the Company’s corporate structure. The only other taxable entity in the structure is Everest Acquisition Finance Inc. (“FinanceCo”). •But FinanceCo has no assets and no financial activity. It is a co-issuer of the Company’s notes that permits marketing to and trading by funds that are restricted in their ability to own bonds issued by non-corporate entities (a commonly used financing structure where the issuer is a limited liability company). All of the other entities in the Credit Group are disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. •EP Energy E&P Company, L.P. is a state law limited partnership. •All other entities in the Credit Group are limited liability companies. The Parent is not part of the Credit Group. The Parent is not an obligor on the Company’s funded debt, and its assets are not subject to the liens of the Company’s secured creditors. Subject to confirmatory diligence, the only other currently known claims against the Parent are purported litigation claims (currently believed to have a $0–225,000 aggregate exposure range and likely subject to motions to dismiss by the parent) and potentially state law tax liabilities (if any). There are no known intercompany claims against the Parent. Although the Parent’s equity in its direct subsidiary, EPE Acquisition, LLC, potentially has little or no value, the Tax Attributes are believed to have value under certain circumstances. The Company does not have a tax sharing agreement. As a result, absent the application by a court of extraordinary remedies such as substantive consolidation, veil piercing/alter ego, or other equitable remedies, or the consent of the Parent, the Credit Group may not be entitled to any portion of the Tax Attributes or the value thereof. 3

GRAPHIC

 

Confidential Overview of the Tax Attributes In particular, the Tax Attributes consist of the following (projected as of December 31, 2019)1: • • • Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”): $3.5 billion. Deferred interest deductions: $480 million. Tax basis in assets: $4.2 billion. U.S. federal income tax rules generally permit a corporation to carry forward its NOLs to reduce future taxable income, thereby reducing its tax liability in future periods (at a 21% tax rate). •Similarly, tax basis in assets is generally available to be depreciated and amortized over time for federal income tax purposes, thereby reducing future taxable income or, in the event of a sale of assets, reducing gain or giving rise to a loss. As discussed further below, the Tax Attributes appear to be assets of the Parent, not its subsidiaries, which are generally disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Tax Attributes are subject to potential limitations on their use (discussed below) but nevertheless might have value in at least two potential scenarios: Scenario A – S p o n sors “utilize ” T a x A tt rib u te s: Sponsors capitalize the Parent (prior to the closing of the restructuring) without causing a greater than 50% change in ownership and acquire, for good business reasons, profitable assets or businesses with them, using the Tax Attributes to reduce taxable income of such profitable enterprise up to approximately $3 billion over time. Creditors take the existing business. Scenario B – Shareholders receive consideration for Tax Attributes: In connection with a chapter 11 restructuring of the Company, the Tax Attributes continue to be available for use to offset incremental cash tax liabilities of the existing business. Shareholders of the Parent receive consideration for the value provided to the reorganized Company. 1 All amounts in this presentation are approximations based on figures provided by the Company and have not been independently verified by Weil or PwC. 4

Appendix: Tax Rules and Certain Tax Considerations

GRAPHIC

 

Confidential General Section 382 Overview Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) limits the use of certain tax attributes if a corporation has an “Ownership Change.” As indicated, an Ownership Change generally occurs if (i) statutorily defined 5% shareholders increase their ownership (ii) during any 3-year period (iii) in excess of 50 percentage points. All purchases and sales of stock by a “5% shareholder” and all stock issuances and repurchases by the Parent generally count (by treating all less-than-5% shareholders as a single “5% shareholder” group). As of December 31, 2018, the Company estimates a total owner shift (further described on the following slide) of approximately 6.2%. Annual Limitation: In connection with an Ownership Change, Section 382 of the Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the future use of pre-change losses, equal to (i) a specified rate (currently, ~2%) times (ii) the Parent’s equity value at the time of the Ownership Change. In bankruptcy, where the change occurs pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan, the annual limitation is computed by reference to the reorganized equity value of the Parent with certain limitations, as opposed to the pre-change equity value (the “Section 382(l)(6) rule”). The annual limitation also applies to the Parent’s net unrealized built-in losses (“NUBIL”), which could result in the deferral of tax deductions arising from depreciation and amortization of assets with a basis in excess of its value or the disposition of such assets. • An IRS technical rule permits the Parent to calculate its net built-in gain or loss for limitation purposes by assuming the Company’s assets have a value equal to the Company’s pre-restructured debt, even though the actual value is significantly less. - Proposed regulations were recently issued which potentially could change this treatment. •As a result, a second ownership change post-restructuring (after the debt has been equitized or discharged) should be avoided, since the full economic built-in loss could then be subject to limitation. One potential means of reducing the risk of a second ownership change is the imposition of a charter restriction. 6

GRAPHIC

 

Confidential Section 382(l)(5) Bankruptcy Exception Alternatively, if the bankruptcy ownership change qualifies for the special exception under Section 382(l)(5) of the Code, and the Parent does not elect out: No annual limitation on the Parent’s use of NOLs applies; Any interest deductions previously taken on debt converted to equity would have to be charged back; and It is important to avoid a second ownership change but particularly within 2 years, since a change within 2 years would render any then existing NOLs completely useless. The Section 382(l)(5) exception applies if the Parent’s shareholders and/or so-called “old and cold” creditors of the Credit Group receive or retain at least 50% of the vote and value of the reorganized Parent. An “old and cold” creditor is any creditor that holds “qualified” debt. Qualified debt generally is: (i) debt outstanding since at least 18 months before the petition date, and continuously held since then by the same creditor; (ii) debt incurred in the Company’s ordinary course of business (e.g., trade debt), and continuously held by the same creditor; and (iii) the above types of debt, except that even though the debt has not been continuously held by the creditor, the creditor does not become a 5% shareholder of reorganized Parent. Whether or not the Parent qualifies for Section 382(l)(5) will depend in large part on the which creditors receive the majority of the equity of the reorganized Parent. Regardless of whether the Parent may qualify, the practical value of the incremental benefits may not justify imposing claims trading restrictions to protect potential qualification. 7

Confidential New Proposed Section 382(l)(6) Regulations On September 9th, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) issued proposed regulations that would remove, under certain circumstances, the current rule that permits the calculation of net built-in gain or loss for limitation purposes by assuming the assets have a value at least equal to a corporation’s pre-restructured debt. The current rule would allow the Parent the future use of its existing large tax basis (~$4 billion) without limitation. The current rule is based on a 2003 IRS Notice upon which the Parent can continue to rely pending the finalization of regulations. In the explanation accompanying the proposed regulations, the IRS indicated that it intended to completely remove the benefit of the higher tax basis. However, as currently drafted, the regulations only apply this change to recourse debt of a taxpayer. Nonrecourse debt is treated differently. Significantly, the IRS has informally taken the view that recourse debt of a disregarded limited liability company is generally treated as nonrecourse with respect to its parent. Thus, all liabilities of the Credit Group may be considered nonrecourse to the Parent. So treated, the proposed regulations would have little practical effect on the projected tax impact of the proposed restructuring. However, when finalized, the regulation may be changed, or the IRS could change its view regarding the treatment of recourse debt of a disregarded limited liability company. The IRS has expressed the desire to finalize these regulations by the end of 2019 and has asked for comments by November 12th. 8

Confidential Potential Value of Tax Attributes to Shareholders If the creditors of the Credit Group were to receive equity in reorganized EPE Acquisition LLC, rather than the stock of the Parent, the Parent would retain possibly close to $3 billion in U.S. federal NOLs. Approximately 70% of the remaining NOLs would expire between 2032 and 2037, if unused. The remaining NOLs would have an indefinite life (subject to an 80% limitation on use in any year). The value of the Tax Attributes depends on the Parent’s ability to generate future income, and thus requires significant capital investment. Initial capital would have to be raised from existing shareholders owning >50% of the Parent’s stock to avoid triggering an Ownership Change. An Ownership Change would effectively eliminate the use of the NOLs. Third party equity capital could be raised so long as its doesn’t trigger an Ownership Change, which is tested on a rolling three-year basis. It may also be possible, under certain circumstances, for existing shareholders to contribute a commonly-held company, provided the principal purpose for the contribution is not tax avoidance. Approximately 75% of the Parent’s stock is held by four groups of shareholders (based on the latest 10-K): Apollo funds - 39.1% Access funds - 13.7% Riverstone funds - 12.2% KNOC - 12.2% 9
