Magellan Midstream Partners Announces Addition of Board Member
TULSA, Okla. – The board of directors for the general partner of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MMP) has elected Barry R. Pearl as an independent board member.
Pearl was formerly president and chief executive officer of TEPPCO Partners, L.P. until his retirement in 2005. Prior to joining TEPPCO in 2001, Pearl was vice president of finance and chief financial officer of Maverick Tube Corporation from 1998 to 2000 and served in various executive positions for Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline Partners, L.P. from 1984 to 1998, including vice president of operations, senior vice president of business development and planning and chief financial officer.
Pearl also currently serves as a board member for Kayne Anderson Energy Development Company, Seaspan Corporation and Targa Resources Partners, L.P. He also is associated with Kealine LLC, a private developer and operator of petroleum infrastructure facilities.
“We are very pleased that Barry has agreed to join our board. His extensive operations and financial background within the energy and publicly traded partnership space will provide valuable insight,” said Don Wellendorf, chief executive officer.
Pearl will continue to serve on the board following the completion of the previously-announced simplification of the partnership’s capital structure, which management expects to close during third quarter 2009.
