On September 10, 2008, Standard & Poors Rating Services (S&P) announced that it assigned
its BB- corporate credit rating to Regency Energy Partners L.P. (the Partnership) and withdrew
its BB- corporate credit rating on operating subsidiary Regency Gas Services L.P. (RGS). S&P
withdrew its credit rating on RGS and assigned it to the Partnership due to its expectation that all future debt
issuances will occur at the Partnership. S&P has also
revised its ratings outlook on the Partnership to negative from stable.
Credit ratings reflect the views of the rating agencies. An explanation of the significance
of a credit rating may be obtained from the applicable rating agency. Such ratings are not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Any rating can be revised upward or downward or
withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it decides that the circumstances warrant the change.
