2. In the second transaction, Crestwood acquired 50% equity interest in CPJV for US$320 million.

In connection with these steps, Crestwood has issued to First Reserve approximately 11.3 million common units, which represents a total transaction value of US$320 million.
3. The divestment transaction consists of selling non-core Barnett Shale assets of Crestwood equity partners to EnLink Midstream for US$275 million in cash.
