DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2008--Regency Energy Partners LP (Nasdaq: RGNC) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Houston-based CDM Resource Management, Ltd. ("CDM"), a provider of natural gas compression services. The transaction is valued at approximately $655 million, subject to certain adjustments. The acquisition makes Regency the first major midstream master limited partnership to acquire a natural gas compression services firm, and the deal will be immediately accretive to cash available for distribution.

"We are pleased to kick off 2008 with the shared relationships, expertise and resources that the completion of this acquisition offers," said James W. Hunt, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Regency. "Together, Regency and CDM will now operate more than 700,000 horsepower of compression in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas."

"CDM has an experienced management team with a proven ability to deliver impressive results," Hunt said. "All three founders of CDM - Randy Dean, Randy Craft and David Marrs - will continue in their current capacities and lead the CDM team moving forward."

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to grow as part of a successful midstream energy company," said Randy Dean, president and chief executive officer of CDM. "We look forward to the long-term success of a stronger combined company."

Regency primarily funded the transaction through bank debt and deferred-pay limited partner units issued to the owners of CDM. The new Class D units will not participate in the four distribution periods following closing and will thereafter be converted to common units, on a one-for-one basis.
