Case Dismissal Requested

DENVER, CO - April 16, 2014 - American Midstream (Midla), LLC on Monday responded to the Atmos Energy complaint filed at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on March 24. In its response, Midla corrected errors in the Atmos filing and reiterated that Midla has been working, and will continue to work, with customers to find a solution to the safety challenges posed by Midla's "Mainline," an 87-year-old pipeline. Midla requested that the Atmos complaint be dismissed.

The Mainline portion of the pipeline, from Monroe to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was constructed before the advent of modern equipment to measure wall thickness and to predict and find leaks. Midla has proposed to retire the old pipe and replace a portion of it with new pipe, and to serve the remainder of its Mainline customers with compressed natural gas (CNG) trucked to existing connections with existing customer distribution systems.

Midla's answer to the complaint highlighted the company's efforts to work with customers and other stakeholders, beginning in May 2013, to find a consensus solution before a serious line breach occurs.

"The driving factor for our ongoing efforts is the safety of the people living and working along the pipeline. Even if a serious breach of the pipeline occurs far from population centers around the Mainline, a breach and the subsequent investigation and recertification could shut down the pipeline for up to one year and leave customers without natural gas," stated Steve Bergstrom, American Midstream Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are offering a safe replacement alternative that will provide a higher level of service and help draw new industry and jobs to the area.

"Our objective is to ensure that customers have uninterrupted natural gas service and we are open to a variety of options to achieve this objective," continued Mr. Bergstrom. "We paid for detailed engineering studies and cost estimates of alternative service options, and made the studies available to our customers. We also provided detailed right-of-way information to entities considering the development of alternative solutions. In addition, we offered to convey the pipeline to Atmos at no cost. In summary, we are committed to finding a long-term solution that addresses the needs of all constituents."

Certain of Midla's customers objected to higher rates they may be required to pay if new facilities are constructed. However, in a FERC filing Midla made on March 28, the company estimated the cost of an alternative solution at approximately $1.75 per month for each of Atmos' 600,000 customers in Louisiana and Mississippi. Midla believes this is a small price to pay for safety, reliability, and a foundation for economic growth in the area.

Midla contends that Atmos' refusal to enter into a long-term contract for service on a replacement pipeline is the most significant obstacle. Without long-term contracts, Midla cannot obtain financing for replacement of all, or a portion of, the pipeline. Midla's filing emphasizes the need for a Technical Conference at the FERC to address misconceptions and to reach a decision on the basic legal questions that Midla views as a barrier to a negotiated solution. Midla believes that an expedited technical conference will clarify the facts, and lay the groundwork for a substantive decision from the FERC clarifying the law and allowing the parties to find a long-term solution.
