Tallgrass Energy Partners Increases Quarterly Distribution for Seventh Consecutive Quarter to $0.52, a 60 Percent Increase from One Year Earlier

Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP (TEP) announced today that the board of directors of its general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution to partners of $0.52 per common unit for the first quarter of 2015, or $2.08 on an annualized basis. This represents a 60 percent increase from the first quarter of 2014 and a 7.2 percent sequential increase from the fourth quarter 2014 distribution of $0.485. It is TEP’s seventh consecutive increase since its IPO in May 2013.

The increase is consistent with TEP’s plan to recommend to the Board of Directors of its general partner increases in its first and second quarter 2015 distributions that will aggregate to at least 15 percent over the fourth quarter 2014 distribution of $0.485. TEP acquired an additional 33.3 percent interest in the Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline effective March 1, 2015.

The quarterly distribution will be paid on Thursday, May 14, 2015, to unitholders of record as of the close of business on Friday, April 24, 2015.
