Summary
Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) filed an 8-K on December 10, 2014, reporting the election of six new directors to its Board of Directors, effective December 5, 2014. These appointments bring individuals with prior experience from related entities, El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (EPB) and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP), onto KMI's board, following recent mergers. The newly elected directors will receive compensation according to KMI's standard arrangement for non-employee directors.
