publicly traded C-Corps Addresses AR shareholder concerns regarding mis-alignment of incentives associated with the IDRs and Series B units held by AMGP and creates C-Corp structure with traditional governance BAIRD AR receives an up-front premium for its units of AM (¹) and greater overall cash flow from 2019-2022 (when considering the cash component of the merger consideration) vs. the status quo (1) Based on closing prices for AM and AMGP as of 10/5/2018. ✓ AR goes from having limited voting rights at the status quo AM to being the largest AMGP stockholder with proportionate voting rights ✓ Cash component of the transaction may facilitate potential return of capital initiatives at AR ✓ Pro forma AMGP Corp has favorable growth, balance sheet and dividend coverage characteristics relative to its peers ✓ AMGP Corp's pro forma market capitalization and C-Corp structure result in a larger float and the potential for enhanced trading liquidity, which may improve AR's ability to monetize its retained ownership of AMGP Corp (relative to its ability to monetize its ownership of AM in the status quo) Project Bronco | Page 18#19VALUATION APPROACH Confidential - Preliminary Draft#20SUMMARY VALUATION APPROACH Core Valuation Approach 4 1 AM Stand-Alone Valuation 2 AMGP Stand-Alone Valuation 3 Merger Consideration Analysis Supplemental Valuation Analyses Baird performed an intrinsic valuation analysis to derive a range of implied values per AM Common Unit utilizing the following core valuation methodologies: Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Discounted Distribution Analysis Public Trading Comparables Analysis Precedent Transactions Analysis Preliminary Praft Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Discounted Distribution Analysis Public Trading Comparables Analysis Precedent Transactions Analysis Baird performed an intrinsic valuation analysis to derive a range of implied values per AMGP common share utilizing the following core valuation methodologies: BAIRD Baird compared the resulting per unit or share (as applicable) valuation ranges across each of the core methodologies, as well as in totality across all methodologies, to determine a range of implied exchange ratios that would result by dividing the implied value of an AM Common Unit into the implied value of an AMGP common share Baird then compared the resulting implied exchange ratios determined by the core valuation methodologies to the proposed aggregate exchange ratio implied by the merger consideration (including both the equity and cash consideration components) Additionally, Baird compared the value per AM Common Unit to the aggregate value of the merger consideration implied by Baird's intrinsic valuation analysis To supplement its core valuation approach, Baird performed the following analyses: Analysis of Wall Street price targets for AM and AMGP (prior to the filing of the Sailing Stone 13-D) Historical exchange ratio analysis implied by the relative trading levels of AM and AMGP Illustrative Merger Consequences Analysis Project Bronco | Page 20#21FINANCIAL FORECASTS UNDERLYING VALUATION ANALYSIS ■ Baird utilizes the following financial forecast cases for purposes
