Resignation of Richard Moncrief and Announcement of Resignation of Charles M. Davis, Jr.
On November 14, 2008, the Board of Directors of Regency GP LLC, the general partner of Regency GP,
LP, the general partner of Regency Energy Partners LP (the
“Partnership”), accepted the resignation
of Richard D. Moncrief as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Partnership,
effective as of November 14, 2008. On November 14, 2008, Charles M. Davis, Jr. announced his
intention to resign as the Senior Vice President of Corporate Development of the Partnership
effective as of November 30, 2008. Mr. Moncrief and Mr. Davis are leaving the Partnership to
pursue other opportunities.
Realignment of Management of Gathering & Processing and Transportation Segments and Consolidation
of Corporate Development Positions
As a result of Mr. Moncrief’s departure, the Gathering & Processing and Transportation segments of
the Partnership will be divided into two groups, one focusing on commercial activities and the
other on field operations. Two members of the Partnership’s existing management team will fulfill
these responsibilities. Patrick Giroir, currently the senior vice president of strategy, will
move into a new role serving as Chief Commercial Officer for the Gathering & Processing and
Transportation segments. Prior to joining the Partnership in May 2008, Mr. Giroir was vice
president of development, origination & system planning for CenterPoint Energy’s Pipeline Group.
He has also held various management positions with El Paso Corp. and Tenneco Inc.
In addition to his current responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of CDM
Resource Management (the Partnership’s Contract Compression segment), Randall H. Dean will serve as
Interim Senior Operating Officer for field operations for the Partnership’s Gathering & Processing
and Transportation business segments. A search for a Senior Operations Officer for the operations
group has been initiated. Mr. Dean joined the Partnership in January 2008 when CDM Resource
Management was acquired. Prior to co-founding CDM in 1997, Mr. Dean served in numerous executive
roles with Contract Compression Inc. and Production Operators Inc.
The responsibilities of Mr. Davis (Senior Vice President of Corporate Development) and the
strategic-planning responsibilities previously handled by Mr. Giroir will be consolidated into a
single function assumed by Chris Rozzell, currently Vice President of Development of the
Partnership.
A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Moncrief’s resignation and Mr. Davis’ intended
resignation, the realignment of the management of the Gathering & Processing and Transportation
Segments of the Partnership and the consolidation of the Corporate Development positions is being
filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
