EXPLANATORY NOTE

On November 25, 2014, Western Gas Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) to report, among other things, the closing of its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Nuevo Midstream, LLC (“Nuevo”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) by and among the Partnership, Maguire Midstream, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, Nuevo and the other parties thereto.
