Summary
This 8-K filing from Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI), filed on January 18, 2012, primarily serves to furnish a press release detailing the company's financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. Investors should note that the information contained in the press release is furnished and not deemed "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, meaning it carries less regulatory weight. However, the press release itself (Exhibit 99.1) is the key piece of information investors should review for performance insights. The company also announced a webcast conference call scheduled for January 18, 2012, to discuss these fourth-quarter and full-year 2011 financial results. While the 8-K itself is brief, it directs stakeholders to the accompanying press release for the substantive financial data and management's commentary on performance, strategic initiatives, and outlook.
