HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colorado Interstate Gas Company, L.L.C. (the Company), today announced
that it had submitted a notice to the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE)
of its intention to voluntarily withdraw the Company’s 6.85% Senior
Debentures due June 15, 2037 (the 2037 Debentures) from listing on the
NYSE and to voluntarily terminate the registration of the 2037
Debentures under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act).
The Company’s Management Committee made this decision after careful
consideration and review of the cumulative costs and advantages and
disadvantages of being a listed company registered with the Securities
Exchange Commission (the SEC). The decision was based on consideration
of a number of factors, including (1) the costs and administrative
burdens of preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC and (2)
the low trading volume of the 2037 Debentures on the NYSE.
Following delisting from the NYSE, the 2037 Debentures will no longer be
listed on any national securities exchange. The Company anticipates, but
can provide no assurance, that the 2037 Debentures will be quoted on an
over-the-counter market following delisting. The Company intends to file
a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25
with the SEC on or after December 3, 2015. The Company anticipates that
the 2037 Debentures would no longer be listed on the NYSE beginning on
or about December 14, 2015.
The Company also intends on December 14, 2015 to file with the SEC a
Form 15 to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
Upon filing the Form 15, the Company's obligation to file certain
reports with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, will be suspended.
The Company intends to continue to make certain financial information
available to the holders of the 2037 Debentures in the Investor
Relations section of Kinder Morgan’s website at the following address: http://ir.kindermorgan.com/pipeco-statements/cig.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will continue to
provide such information in the future.
