MarkWest Energy Partners Announces Pricing of Public Offering of Common Units

MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. announced today that it priced its public offering of 2,900,000 common units at $18.15 per common unit. The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of approximately $50.3 million, excluding offering expenses, to partially fund its growth capital budget. Pending that use, the Partnership intends to apply a portion of the net proceeds to pay down borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Partnership has granted Morgan Stanley a 30-day option to purchase a maximum of 435,000 additional common units to cover over-allotments, if any.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated is the sole book-running manager for the offering. The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus. A copy of the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus associated with this offering may be obtained from Morgan Stanley by contacting Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Attn: Prospectus Dept., 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10014, prospectus@morganstanley.com, phone (866) 718-1649.

An electronic copy of the preliminary prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus are available from the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) web site at http://www.sec.gov. The common units are being offered pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that the Partnership previously filed with the SEC.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.
