Inergy Announces Successful Results of Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations for Senior Notes due 2014 and 2016

Inergy intends to execute later today supplemental indentures (the "Supplemental Indentures" ) with respect to the indentures governing each the 2014 Notes and the 2016 Notes, which will eliminate most of the covenants and certain default provisions applicable to such notes. Each Supplemental Indenture will not become operative until a majority in aggregate principal amount of each the 2014 Notes and 2016 Notes, as applicable, has been purchased by Inergy pursuant to the terms of the 2014/2016 Notes Offer to Purchase, which is expected to occur today.

Inergy's obligations to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any notes pursuant to the 2014/2016 Notes Tender Offers is subject to a number of conditions that are set forth in the 2014/2016 Notes Offer to Purchase, including the closing today of Inergy's previously announced private placement of $750 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2021 (the "Notes Offering" ) and a new $300 million term loan facility. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of these conditions, later today, all holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their 2014 Notes or 2016 Notes prior to the Consent Expiration will receive total consideration equal to: (i) for the 2014 Notes, $1,025.42 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes accepted for purchase, which includes a consent payment of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes accepted for purchase, and (ii) for the 2016 Notes, $1,045.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Notes accepted for purchase, which includes a consent payment of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Notes accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such notes to the payment date.

Holders who tender (and do not validly withdraw) their 2014 Notes or 2016 Notes after the Consent Expiration and prior to the expiration of the 2014/2016 Notes Tender Offers will be entitled to receive (i) for the 2014 Notes, consideration equal to $1,000.42 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2014 Notes accepted for purchase, and (ii) for the 2016 Notes, consideration equal to $1,020.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Notes accepted for purchase, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such notes to the payment date. Holders of 2014 Notes and 2016 Notes tendered after the Consent Expiration will not receive a consent payment. The 2014/2016 Notes Tender Offers will expire at 8:00 a.m. New York City time on February 16, 2011, unless extended by Inergy in its sole discretion (the "Expiration Time" ).

Any 2014 Notes and 2016 Notes not tendered and purchased pursuant to the 2014/2016 Notes Tender Offers will remain outstanding, and the holders will be subject to the terms of the applicable Supplemental Indenture even though they did not consent to the amendments.

Inergy also announced today the expiration of the early tender deadline for its 8.75% Senior Notes due 2015 (CUSIP No. 45661TAH4) (the "2015 Notes," and together with the 2014 Notes and the 2016 Notes, the "Notes" ) in connection with its previously announced tender offer for its outstanding 2015 Notes (the "2015 Notes Tender Offer," and together with the 2014/2016 Notes Tender Offers the "Tender Offers" ), which commenced on January 19, 2011 and is described in the Offer to Purchase dated January 19, 2011 (the "2015 Offer to Purchase," and together with the 2014/2016 Notes Offer to Purchase, the "Offers to Purchase" ). The 2015 Notes Tender Offer's early tender deadline expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on February 1, 2011, (the "Early Tender Deadline" ). As of the Early Tender Deadline, approximately $30,201,000 in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2015 Notes had been validly tendered. Holders who validly tendered their 2015 Notes prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive $1,087.50, payable in cash, for each $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes, which amount includes an early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2015 Notes to the payment date. Holders who validly tender their 2015 Notes after that time but prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive $1,057.50, payable in cash, per $1,000 principal amount of 2015 Notes accepted for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 2015 Notes to the payment date.
