Under the terms of the transaction, Copano shareholders will receive 0.4563 of a KMP share for each share of Copano they own, representing a value of approximately $40.91 a share. The transaction has a total approximate value of $5 billion, including the assumption of debt. A shareholder representing 14% of Copano’s outstanding equity has agreed to support the transaction.
