Second Revised Proposal

(10/25/16)

On September 26, 2016, Columbia Pipeline Partners, LP (“CPPL”) announced that it was in receipt of a proposal from Columbia Pipeline

Group (“CPGX”) to acquire all of the 53,843,466 outstanding common units of CPPL

The price as originally proposed was $15.75 per CPPL common unit, payable in cash, which implied an aggregate common unit equity

purchase price of ~$848 MM

The $15.75 per CPPL common unit proposal implied a 2.9% premium to CPPL’s unaffected closing price of $15.30 and an 8.4%

premium to the 30-day VWAP of $14.52 as of September 23, 2016

On October 16, 2016, the CPPL Conflicts Committee submitted a counter-proposal to CPGX of $17.90 per CPPL common unit, payable in

cash, implying an aggregate common unit equity purchase price of ~$964 MM

The $17.90 per CPPL common unit counter-proposal implied a 17.0% premium to CPPL’s unaffected closing price of $15.30 and a

23.2% premium to the 30-day VWAP of $14.52 as of September 23, 2016

On October 20, 2016, CPGX submitted a revised proposal of $16.45 per CPPL common unit, payable in cash, (implying an aggregate

common unit equity purchase price of ~$886 MM) plus additional cash equal to the pro-rated portion of the quarterly distribution payable

in the quarter of closing dating back to the most recent record date

— Assuming, for illustrative purposes, the merger closes on March 1, 2017, and the last record date for payment of the quarterly

distribution is February 10, 2017, then each CPPL common unit would receive a pro-rated cash distribution of ~$0.04

The $16.45 per CPPL common unit proposal implied a 7.5% premium to CPPL’s unaffected closing price of $15.30 and a 13.3%

premium to the 30-day VWAP of $14.52 as of September 23, 2016

— Additionally, the revised proposal of $16.45 represented a 4.4% increase to CPGX’s initial proposal of $15.75 and an (8.1%) discount

to the CPPL Conflicts Committee counter-proposal of $17.90

On October 21, 2016, the CPPL Conflicts Committee submitted a second counter-proposal to CPGX of $17.25 per CPPL common unit,

payable in cash, implying an aggregate common unit equity purchase price of ~$929 MM; additionally, the Conflicts Committee proposed

that the pro-rated portion of the quarterly distribution payable in the quarter of closing date back to the first day of the quarter

The $17.25 per CPPL common unit counter-proposal implied a 12.7% premium to CPPL’s unaffected closing price of $15.30 and a

18.8% premium to the 30-day VWAP of $14.52 as of September 23, 2016

On October 25, 2016, CPGX submitted a second revised proposal of $17.00 per CPPL common unit, payable in cash, (implying an

aggregate common unit equity purchase price of ~$915 MM) plus additional cash equal to the pro-rated portion of the quarterly

distribution payable in the quarter of closing (detailed in the proposed Merger Agreement) dating back to the first day of the quarter

— Assuming, for illustrative purposes, the merger closes on March 1, 2017, then each CPPL common unit would receive a pro-rated cash

distribution of ~$0.13(1)

The $17.00 per CPPL common unit proposal implies an 11.1% premium to CPPL’s unaffected closing price of $15.30 and a 17.0%

premium to the 30-day VWAP of $14.52 as of September 23, 2016

— Additionally, the revised proposal of $17.00 represents a 7.9% increase to CPGX’s initial proposal of $15.75

The revised proposal indicates that CPGX’s current intention is to conclude discussions and make a public announcement on November 1st

(1) As detailed in the current draft of the Merger Agreement dated October 25, 2016, “…an additional amount of cash per Common Unit without any interest thereon equal to the product of (x) the number of days from and including the first day of the quarter in which the Closing occurs through and including the Closing Date multiplied by (y) $ [ ] per Common Unit (a daily distribution rate equal to the quotient of $[0.1975] divided by [ninety-one (91)]), plus an amount equal to $[0.1975] per Common Unit in cash without any interest thereon if the record date for the Partnership’s quarterly cash distribution with respect to the quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which the Closing occurs shall not have occurred prior to the Effective Time”.
