Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, KMI and its subsidiary sold Terasen Inc. to Fortis. The principal assets of Terasen Inc. are Terasen Gas Inc. and Terasen Gas (Vancouver Island Inc., comprising a large regulated distribution business that delivers natural gas and piped propane to customers in British Columbia.
The foregoing summary of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.01 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties to the Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement, were made only as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risks between the parties to the Agreement if those statements prove to be inaccurate, instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement, and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the parties to the Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the public disclosures of any contracting party.
