Item 15.Additional Information.

Regulation M-A Item 1011

Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On December 19, 2006, at a special meeting of Kinder Morgan’s stockholders, those stockholders voted to approve and adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 28, 2006, by and among Kinder Morgan, Parent and Acquisition Co. 

On May 30, 2007, Kinder Morgan filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Kansas, pursuant to which Acquisition Co. was merged with and into Kinder Morgan, with Kinder Morgan continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Kinder Morgan became a subsidiary of Parent.  Generally, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each share of Kinder Morgan common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held in the treasury of Kinder Morgan, or owned by its wholly owned subsidiaries, or by Parent or Acquisition Co. immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (including shares contributed to Parent prior to the Merger by certain of the Rollover Investors and members of management of Kinder Morgan), or held by stockholders who properly exercised appraisal rights under Kansas law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $107.50 in cash, without interest, and (ii) the separate existence of Acquisition Co. ceased. 

As a result of the Merger, the registration of Kinder Morgan’s common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated upon application to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Kinder Morgan's common stock will no longer be listed on any quotation system or exchange, including the New York Stock Exchange.

KINDER MORGAN, INC. GOING-PRIVATE TRANSACTION CLOSES

HOUSTON, May 30, 2007 — Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE: KMI) today announced that the acquisition of KMI by investors including Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder has closed.  Additional investors in the going-private transaction include other senior members of KMI management, co-founder Bill Morgan, board members Fayez Sarofim and Mike Morgan, and affiliates of Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, American International Group, Inc. and certain affiliates (principally AIG Financial Products and AIG Highstar Capital), The Carlyle Group and Riverstone Holdings LLC.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, following the closing of the merger, KMI stockholders (other than Knight Holdco LLC, Knight Acquisition Co., subsidiaries of KMI, stockholders who have perfected their appraisal rights under Kansas law and stockholders defined in the KMI merger proxy statement as Rollover Investors) will receive $107.50 in cash, without interest, for each share of KMI common stock held.  This represents a premium of approximately 27 percent over $84.41, the closing price of KMI stock on Friday, May 26, 2006, the last trading day before the investor group made its proposal to take the company private.

In connection with the closing, trading of KMI’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange will be suspended and KMI will take steps to delist the common stock from the exchange.

Stockholders who possess stock certificates will receive instructions and a letter of transmittal from Computershare, the paying agent, concerning how and where to forward their certificates for payment.  For shares held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, stockholders do not need to take any action to have shares converted into cash, as this will be done by the broker, bank or other nominee.
