On October 27, 2011, Michael J. Aaronson resigned as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Exterran GP LLC, effective November 16, 2011.  Exterran GP LLC is the general partner of Exterran General Partner, L.P., which is the general partner of Exterran Partners, L.P. (“us” or “our”).   In addition, Mr. Aaronson resigned, effective November 16, 2011, as a member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Exterran GP LLC.    

In connection with Mr. Aaronson’s resignation, on October 28, 2011, the Board appointed J. Michael Anderson as Chief Financial Officer of Exterran GP LLC, to be effective November 16, 2011 immediately following the effectiveness of Mr. Aaronson’s resignation.

Mr. Anderson, 49, was elected Senior Vice President of Exterran GP LLC in June 2006, and was appointed as a director of Exterran GP LLC in October 2006. He also serves as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief of Staff of Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“Exterran”), the indirect owner of Exterran GP LLC. Prior to the merger of Hanover Compressor Company and Universal Compression Holdings, Inc. (“Universal”) to form Exterran, Mr. Anderson was Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Universal, a position he assumed in March 2003. Mr. Anderson held various positions with Azurix Corp. (a water and wastewater utility and services company), primarily as the company’s Chief Financial Officer and later as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Prior to that time, he spent ten years in the Global Investment Banking Group of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (a financial services company), where he specialized in merger and acquisitions advisory services. Mr. Anderson also serves as an officer and director of certain other Exterran majority-owned subsidiaries. Mr. Anderson holds a BBA in finance from Texas Tech University and an MBA in finance from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Anderson will receive compensation for his service as Chief Financial Officer of Exterran GP LLC at the amounts previously disclosed for his current position in Exterran’s annual proxy statement. Under the terms of our omnibus agreement with Exterran, we will be allocated a portion of Mr. Anderson’s compensation cost to reimburse Exterran for the service he will provide to us as Chief Financial Officer of Exterran GP LLC, which we intend to disclose in our annual report on Form 10-K. Neither we nor Exterran GP LLC has any form of employment agreement with Mr. Anderson, either written or oral, that guarantees salaries, salary increases, bonuses or benefits. There are no other arrangements or understandings between Mr. Anderson and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Anderson and any executive officer or director of Exterran GP LLC, Exterran General Partner, L.P. or us.
