Table of Contents

At any time prior to September 1, 2047 (6 months before the maturity date of
the notes due 2048), we may redeem all or a part of the notes due 2048 at a
price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount of such notes being

See "Description of Notes--Optional Redemption."
Guarantees
The notes will be unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by
substantially all of our wholly owned subsidiaries (the "subsidiary
guarantors") pursuant to a cross guarantee agreement among us and the

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/31986/000104746918001052/a2234615z424b2.htm[2/26/2018 11:50:31 AM]

Ranking
The indebtedness evidenced by the notes will be unsecured and will rank
equally in right of payment with all of our and the subsidiary guarantors'
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time
outstanding. The notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our secured
debt and the secured debt of the subsidiary guarantors to the extent of the
value of the assets securing such debt. After giving effect to this offering,
there will be approximately $36.355 billion of outstanding indebtedness
subject to the cross guarantee agreement, none of which will be secured. See
"Description of Notes--Ranking." The indenture does not limit the amount of
debt we may incur.
Certain Covenants
We will issue the notes under an indenture with U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee. None of our subsidiaries is or will be a party to the
indenture. The indenture includes covenants, including limitations on:

· liens; and

· sale-leaseback transactions.

These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions, limitations
and qualifications that are described under "Description of Debt Securities" in
the accompanying prospectus.
Risk Factors
An investment in the notes involves risks. Please read "Risk Factors"
beginning on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" and
"Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Realization of any of
those risks or adverse results from any of the listed matters could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and
results of operations.

Table of Contents
Conflicts of Interest
Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under our revolving
credit facility and may hold our commercial paper. Accordingly, these
underwriters or their affiliates may receive an amount in excess of 5% of the
net proceeds from this offering. The foregoing payments may constitute a
"conflict of interest" under Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Consequently, this offering will be conducted in
accordance with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121. See "Use of
Proceeds" and "Underwriting--Conflicts of Interest."

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes involves risks. You should consider carefully the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Specifically, please read "Risk Factors" and "Information
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Realization of any of those risks
or adverse results from any of the listed matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/31986/000104746918001052/a2234615z424b2.htm[2/26/2018 11:50:31 AM]

Risks Related to the Notes
The guarantees by certain of our subsidiaries of the notes could be deemed fraudulent conveyances under certain circumstances, and a court may
try to subordinate or void these subsidiary guarantees.
Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims under a guarantee
may be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its
guarantee:
·
intended to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor or received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration
for the incurrence of the guarantee;
·
was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;
·
was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
·
intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.
In addition, any payment by that guarantor under a guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the
benefit of the creditors of the guarantor. The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law
applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a subsidiary guarantor would be considered
insolvent if:
·
the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;
·
the present saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability, including contingent
liabilities, on its existing debts as they become absolute and mature; or
·
it could not pay its debts as they became due.
If the guarantee of any guarantor under the cross guarantee agreement were to be voided as a fraudulent conveyance or held unenforceable for any
other reason, holders of the notes would cease to have any claim in respect of such guarantor and would be creditors solely of us and any guarantor
whose guarantee was not voided or held unenforceable. In such event, noteholders' claims against us concerning an invalid guarantee would be subject
to the prior payment of all liabilities of such guarantor. There can be no assurance that, after providing for all prior claims, there would be sufficient
assets to satisfy your claims relating to any voided guarantee.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive approximately $1.978 billion from the sale of the notes in this offering, after deducting the underwriting discount
and our estimated expenses of the offering. We expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to repay our commercial paper and borrowings
under our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
As of February 16, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on our short term borrowings, including both commercial paper and revolving credit
facility borrowings, was approximately 2.73% and our outstanding borrowings were approximately $2.990 billion. In addition to other long-term debt
maturities and working capital requirements, borrowings under our revolving credit facility were used to repay the $975 million aggregate principal
amount of our 5.75% senior notes due 2018 when they matured on February 15, 2018. Our revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature on
November 26, 2019.
Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates are lenders under our revolving credit facility and may hold our commercial paper. Accordingly, these
entities may receive a portion of the proceeds from this offering. Therefore, this offering is being made in compliance with FINRA Rule 5121. See
"Underwriting--Conflicts of Interest."

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
We will issue each series of the notes under the existing indenture that we have entered into with U.S. Bank National Association. The following
description, together with the description in the accompanying prospectus, is a summary of the material provisions of the notes and the indenture. It does
not restate the indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes.
We have filed a copy of the indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement which includes the accompanying prospectus. In this description, the
terms "we," "us" and "our" mean Kinder Morgan, Inc. only and not any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
This description of the notes supplements, and, to the extent it is inconsistent, replaces, the description of the general provisions of the notes and the
indenture in the accompanying prospectus. The notes are "senior debt securities" as that term is used in the accompanying prospectus, and will be issued
in book-entry form only. Since only registered holders of a note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes and only registered holders have
rights under the indenture, references in this section to holders mean only registered holders of notes. See "Description of Debt Securities--Form,
Denomination and Registration; Book-Entry Only System" in the accompanying prospectus.
General
The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund.
We may issue and sell additional notes of either series in the future with the same terms as the notes of the applicable series being offered hereby
(except for the public offering price, issue date and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date) without the consent of the holders of the notes of
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/31986/000104746918001052/a2234615z424b2.htm[2/26/2018 11:50:31 AM]

either series. Any such additional notes of a series, together with the notes of such series offered hereby, will constitute a single series of notes under the
indenture.
Principal, Maturity and Interest
The notes due 2028 will mature on March 1, 2028, unless redeemed sooner as described below. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of
4.300% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2018. We will
make each interest payment on the notes due 2028 to the person in whose name such notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately
preceding February 15 or August 15, as the case may be, whether or not such date is a business day.
The notes due 2048 will mature on March 1, 2048, unless redeemed sooner as described below. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of
5.200% per year and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 2018. We will
make each interest payment on the notes due 2048 to the person in whose name such notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately
preceding February 15 or August 15, as the case may be, whether or not such date is a business day.
Interest on each series of the notes will accrue from March 1, 2018, and will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-
day months.
If any interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the next
business day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such interest payment date, maturity date or redemption date.

Guarantees
On November 26, 2014, we entered into a cross guarantee agreement with substantially all of our wholly owned subsidiaries (the "subsidiary
guarantors") whereby each party to the agreement, including us, agrees to unconditionally guarantee the indebtedness of each other party to the
agreement. As a result, the subsidiary guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee the full and prompt payment of the principal of and any
premium and interest on the notes when and as the payment becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or otherwise. For more information, see
"Cross Guarantee" in the accompanying prospectus.
Ranking
The indebtedness evidenced by the notes will be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the subsidiary guarantors'
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding, including indebtedness under our revolving credit agreement and our
and the subsidiary guarantors' outstanding series of senior notes. The notes will be effectively subordinated to any of our secured debt and the secured
debt of the subsidiary guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, neither we nor
any of the subsidiary guarantors had any secured debt outstanding.
The indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness or contain provisions that would afford holders of notes protection in the
event of a sudden and significant decline in our credit quality or a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction. Accordingly, we
could in the future enter into transactions that could increase the amount of indebtedness outstanding at that time or otherwise adversely affect our
capital structure or credit rating.
Optional Redemption
We will have the right to redeem the notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in the case of the notes due 2028, before December 1,
2027 (the date that is 3 months prior to the maturity date of the notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes Early Call Date")) and in the case of the notes due
2048, before September 1, 2047 (the date that is 6 months prior to the maturity date of the notes due 2048 (the "2048 Notes Early Call Date" and,
together with the 2028 Notes Early Call Date, the "Early Call Dates")), at a redemption price, as determined by us, equal to (a) the greater of: (1) 100%
of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
on the notes being redeemed that would be due if such notes matured on the applicable Early Call Date, respectively, but for the redemption (exclusive
of any portion of the payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-
day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 25 basis points in the case of the notes due 2028 or plus 30 basis points in the
case of the notes due 2048, plus, in either case, (b) accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
At any time on or after the 2028 Notes Early Call Date with respect to the 2028 notes, and the 2048 Notes Early Call Date with respect to the 2048
notes, the respective notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

comparable to the remaining term of the notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary
financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such notes assuming, for this
purpose, that the notes mature on the applicable Early Call Date.

Notice of redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of
record of the notes to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption for the notes will state, among other things, the amount of notes
to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payment will be made
upon presentation and surrender of notes to be redeemed. Unless we default in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on any
notes that have been called for redemption on the redemption date. If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed, the notes to be redeemed shall be
selected according to DTC procedures, in the case of notes represented by a global note, or by lot, in the case of notes that are not represented by a
global note.
Denomination
The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
