− Distribution is based upon NRGY’s normalized expectations for the current operating businesses including our retail propane business for FY2013

− Looking forward to twelve months ended March 31, 2013 these normalized expectations result in total unit distribution coverage of approximately 1.2x

Distributions assuming the retail propane transaction closes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012

− Following the closing of the retail propane transaction, NRGY unitholders are expected to continue to receive approximately $1.50 in distributions

− The distribution would be comprised of NRGY unitholders receiving directly from SPH approximately $0.36 per NRGY unit based upon SPH’s current annualized distribution of $3.41 per unit, and

− Approximately $1.15-1.20 of expected annualized distribution per unit directly from NRGY with ample coverage built-in for the remaining businesses owned and operated by NRGY including its investment in NRGM
