BOMT

Owns ~61% of the national pipeline network (3,957 km) and transports 48% of the gas consumed in the country

− Serves ~70% of Colombia’s population, reaching the most populated areas (Bogota, Cali, Medellin, Bucaramanga and the coffee region and Piedemonte Llanero, among others)

− Has access to the two main production regions, La Guajira and Cusiana/Cupiagua

25% interest in Contugas (Peru)

− 30-year concession for natural gas transportation and distribution

TGI was created as a result of the privatization of Ecogás and has experienced remarkable growth since then, under

the leadership of its controlling shareholders, EEB and CVCI

Source: UPME and Company information. (1) As of September 30, 2013. (2) 47,6% of market share of gas transported directly by TGI. Most of the 15% transported by “Others” is natural gas transported by TGI through the

TGI Pipeline System to other pipeline systems.

TGI is the largest natural gas transportation company in the country

− Holds 47.6%(2) market share in the Colombian natural gas transportation sector and owns ~61% of the pipeline network

TGI’s extensive pipeline network (3,957 km) allows the Company to take advantage of new business opportunities and participate in expansion projects in different regions

Other industry participants face high barriers of entry to access TGI’s gas transportation market in a cost-efficient manner

Stable and predictable cash flow generation

TGI’s revenues are highly predictable, with approximately 94% coming from regulated tariffs that are reviewed al least every 5 years, ensuring cash flow stability and attractive rates of return

Main sectors served by the Company (75(1)% of revenues) present stable consumption patterns (no seasonality)

The Company enjoys excellent contract quality

− 100% of TGI’s contracts are firm contracts with an average life of 8,3 years

− 83% of regulated revenues are fixed tariffs, not dependent on transported volume

− Extremely low sensitivity of EBITDA to changes in exchange rate

In 2008, the Company contracted its capacity on a long term basis, with most of the contracts maturing 2021

TGI has in place a commercial strategy to ensure a timely rollover of the contracts

Retail distributors (regulated users), including Gas Natural, Gases de Occidente, EPM are forced by regulation to have their gas transport needs under firm contracts

Regulatory framework established to attract private sector investment

Law 142 (1994) establishes system of open entry to the natural gas transportation sector − No term limitation for the provision

of the service − Assets used in the provision of the

service are not owned by the state but by the company providing such service

CREG required by law to seek input from market participants

CREG is an independent regulatory body that controls natural gas regulation − Sets tariffs, promotes competition

and monitors quality of service

Tariff calculation based on the principle of financial feasibility and economic efficiency

Tariffs are set in order to allow the service provider to: − Recover operational costs and

investments − Obtain a return on investment

comparable to what an efficient company would obtain in a sector of similar risk

Cost recovery, attractive regulated return on investment and protection against inflation

Transporters are given full recovery of operating and maintenance expenses − Adjusted by Colombian Price

Index (CPI) Dollar indexation of investment

remuneration tariff Different rates of return applied

when determining fixed and variable charges

Constructive and stable regulatory framework

Source: Company information.

The Colombian gas transportation regulatory framework was established to attract private sector investment and provide adequate cost recovery and regulated returns
