Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 27, 2020, Kinder Morgan, Inc. ("KMI") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, pursuant to which KMI agreed to sell $1,250,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior notes consisting of (i) $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of KMI's 2.000% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes") and (ii) $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of KMI's 3.250% Senior Notes due 2050 (the "2050 Notes" and together with the 2031 Notes, the "Notes").

The Notes are guaranteed pursuant to a Cross Guarantee Agreement, which is described in and filed as Exhibit 10.1 to KMI's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by KMI. The Underwriting Agreement also contains customary indemnification and contribution provisions whereby KMI and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities. The Notes were offered and sold under a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-240108).

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2012, between KMI and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2031 Notes will mature on February 15, 2031. The 2050 Notes will mature on August 1, 2050. Interest on the 2031 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2021. Interest on the 2050 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2021. Interest on the Notes will accrue from August 5, 2020. KMI may redeem all or a part of the Notes at any time at the applicable redemption prices.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture, which includes payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative and negative covenants and bankruptcy and insolvency related defaults, the obligations of KMI under the Notes may be accelerated, in which case the entire principal amount of the Notes would be immediately due and payable.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

KMI expects to use the proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, including refinancing upcoming debt maturities. The underwriters and their related entities have, from time to time, engaged in commercial and investment banking transactions with KMI and its affiliates and provided financial advisory services for KMI and its affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, and may do so in the future. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates may hold KMI's debt securities that may be refinanced with a portion of the proceeds from the offering of the Notes and, accordingly, these entities will receive a portion of the proceeds of the offering of the Notes. Additionally, underwriters and their related entities have received and in the future will receive customary compensation and expense reimbursement for these commercial and investment banking transactions and financial advisory services.
