2In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) was notified that each outstanding Copano common unit was converted pursuant to the Merger into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Copano requested that the Exchange file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the delisting of Copano’s common units.

~~The~~In ~~Board~~connection ~~initially~~with ~~directed~~the ~~Barclays~~Merger, Kinder Morgan, as sole member of Copano, approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as independent auditor in replacement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”), which was dismissed as Copano’s independent auditor, effective as of May 1, 2013. Because Copano’s financial statements will be consolidated with those of Kinder Morgan following the Merger, PwC, which is the independent auditor of Kinder Morgan and its subsidiaries, was chosen to ~~contact~~be ~~four~~Copano’s ~~potential~~independent ~~merger~~auditor ~~partners~~as well. Additionally, ~~but~~D&T acould ~~few~~not ~~weeks~~be ~~after~~considered ~~this~~independent ~~also~~of ~~decided~~Kinder ~~that~~Morgan ~~Barclays~~because ~~should~~D&T ~~contact~~provides internal audit services to Kinder Morgan and its affiliates.

Such letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1.

~~The section of the proxy statement “Proposal 1: The Merger¾Opinions of Copano’s Financial Advisors” beginning on page 62 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:~~3

~~The~~Item ~~first~~5.01. ~~full~~Changes ~~paragraph~~in ~~beginning~~Control onof ~~page 67 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:~~Registrant.

~~With~~As ~~respect~~a toresult ~~Copano,~~of the ~~discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the Copano Case I Projections and the Copano Case II Projections (see “Proposal 1: The~~ Merger~~—Copano~~, ~~Projected Financial Information” for~~ a ~~further~~change ~~description~~ of ~~the~~control ~~Copano Case I Projections and Copano Case II Projections). To calculate the estimated enterprise value ranges in the discounted cash flow analyses for Copano for each~~ of ~~the~~ Copano ~~Case~~occurred Ion ~~Projections and Copano Case II Projections~~May 1, ~~Barclays added (i) estimated unlevered free cash flows in millions of ($110)~~2013, ~~$231, $345,~~ and $406 for Case I and of ($306), ($48), $184 and $389 for Case II for fiscal years 2013 through 2016, respectively to (ii) the estimated residual enterprise value at the end of the forecast period, or the “terminal value” of Copano, asbecame ~~of December 31, 2016, and discounted such amounts to their net present value using~~ a ~~range of selected discount rates. Barclays calculated “unlevered free cash flows” as estimated Adjusted EBITDA~~direct, aswholly ~~prepared~~owned bysubsidiary ~~Copano management, which represents earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, referred to as EBITDA, plus expenses related to the amortization~~ of ~~commodity~~Kinder derivative options, distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, and equity-based compensation expenses; less equity in earnings/(loss) from unconsolidated affiliates; adjusted to remove the impact of certain other estimated non-cash operating items on EBITDA, less estimated maintenance capital expenditures, less estimated growth capital expenditures, and plus or minus estimated changes in working capitalMorgan. ~~For~~ ~~each~~Kinder ~~case, Barclays used a nominal discount rate range of 8.0% to 10.5%. The discount rates were based on Barclays~~Morgan’s ~~analysis~~sources ~~in accordance with the capital asset pricing model~~ of ~~the~~funds ~~weighted average cost of capital~~ for ~~Copano as well as~~ the ~~weighted~~Merger ~~average~~consisted ~~cost~~ of ~~capital~~Kinder ~~for~~Morgan ~~gathering~~common ~~and~~units ~~processing, referred to as G&P, master limited partnerships, each of which is referred to as an MLP, with similar size~~ and similar operations, to Copano, as applicable. The terminal value of Copano was estimated by applying enterprise value multiples ranging from 10.0x to 14.0x to the estimate of EBITDA for 2016 for Copano for each of the Copano Case I Projections and Copano Case II Projections. Such enterprise value multiples were derived using information from the comparable company analysis described below and based upon Barclays’ professional judgment. Based on the Copano Case I Projections and the discounted cash flow analysis described above, Barclays selected an enterprise value reference range of $4.0 billion to $5.0 billion for Copano, which implied an equity value reference range of $32.17 to $42.60 per Copano common unit. Based on ~~the Copano Case II Projections and the foregoing discounted cash flow analysis described above, Barclays selected an enterprise value reference range of $4~~hand.~~6 billion to $6.0 billion for Copano, which implied an equity value reference range of $38.43 to $53.04 per Copano common unit.~~

The ~~second~~information ~~full~~in ~~paragraph~~Item ~~beginning~~2.01 ~~on page 67~~ is ~~hereby~~incorporated ~~deleted~~herein ~~and~~by ~~replaced with the following:~~reference.

ToItem calculate the estimated per unit equity value range of Kinder Morgan common units using discounted cash flow analysis, Barclays added (i) projected distributions per Kinder Morgan common unit for fiscal years 2013 through 2016 based on the Kinder Morgan Projections to (ii) the estimated terminal value of Kinder Morgan’s common unit price, as of December 31, 2016, and discounted such amounts to their net present value using a range of selected discount rates5. ~~Specifically, Barclays used a discount rate range of 10~~02.0% toDeparture ~~14.0%. The discount rates were based on Barclays’ analysis in accordance with the cost~~ of ~~equity~~Directors ~~capital~~or ~~for~~Certain ~~MLPs~~Officers; ~~with~~Election ~~similar size and operations to those~~ of ~~Kinder~~Directors; ~~Morgan. The~~Appointment ~~cost~~ of ~~equity~~Certain ~~capital~~Officers; ~~was~~Compensatory ~~calculated~~Arrangements ~~as the current yield, based on the latest announced annualized distribution for each such MLP divided by the applicable limited partner unit price as~~ of Certain Officers.

3At the effective time of the Merger, each of the members of the Copano board of directors resigned from the board and ceased to be a director of Copano. The members of the Copano board immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were James G. Crump, Ernie L. Danner, Scott A. Griffiths, Michael L. Johnson, Michael G. MacDougall, R. Bruce Northcutt, T. William Porter and William L. Thacker. Effective as of the effective time of the Merger, Kinder Morgan, as its sole member, manages Copano.

~~The~~Item ~~fourth~~9.01. ~~full~~Financial ~~paragraph~~Statements ~~beginning on page 69 is hereby deleted~~ and ~~replaced with the following:~~Exhibits.

Barclays evaluated the publicly available price targets of Copano common units and Kinder Morgan common units published by independent equity research analysts associated with various Wall Street firms, which is referred to as Wall Street Research(d) Exhibits. Barclays used these research analyst price targets to calculate implied equity value per unit ranges for each of the Copano common units and the Kinder Morgan common units.

the MLPs included in the comparable transaction analysis. Accordingly, Barclays believed that a purely quantitative comparable transaction analysis would not be particularly meaningful in the context of considering the merger. Barclays therefore made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of the Selected Transactions and the merger which would affect the acquisition values of the selected target MLPs and Copano. Based upon these judgments, Barclays selected an equity value reference range for the merger of $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion, which implied an equity value reference range of $26.39 to $36.83 per Copano common unit. Barclays noted that the implied value per Copano common unit in the merger, based on Kinder Morgan common unit’s closing price of $89.67 on January 28, 2013 and the exchange ratio of 0.4563, was $40.92 per Copano common unit.

Jefferies applied multiple yield ranges based on the selected public companies analysis to corresponding financial data for Copano (based on management forecasts and other publicly available data) and Kinder Morgan (based on Wells Fargo market research and other publicly available data) to calculate an implied exchange ratio reference range. The selected public companies analysis indicated a range of implied values per Copano common unit and Kinder Morgan common unit, which in turn indicated an implied exchange ratio reference range of 0.338 to 0.466 Kinder Morgan common units per Copano common unit, as compared to the merger exchange ratio of 0.4563 of a Kinder Morgan common unit per Copano common unit.

Proposal 1: The Merger—Copano Projected Financial Information

The second full paragraph beginning on page 84 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

The following tables present summaries of financial projections under the two scenarios of expected future growth and margins prepared by Copano’s management as of November 2012 for the fiscal years ending 2013 through 2016: (a) a scenario prepared by Copano’s management assuming low growth and relatively constant margins, referred to as the Copano Case I Projections (which projections were provided to Barclays), and (b) a scenario prepared by Copano’s management assuming higher growth and escalating margins, referred to as the Copano Case II Projections (which projections were provided to both Barclays and Jefferies).

The Copano Case I projections presented below were an iteration of projections done at various times by the Company, including a set of projections provided by management to Barclays in connection with their presentation at the August 28, 2012 board meeting, and were provided by management to Barclays, following discussions between the Company and Barclays in mid-January 2013 in which it was concluded that a version of projections that reduced certain future revenue assumptions (i.e., Case I) should be prepared by the Company and furnished to Barclays.
