Time is running short and your vote is important no matter how many units you hold.
For the reasons set forth in the Proxy Statement dated September 29, 2006, the full board of directors of Pacific Energy Management LLC (the general partner of Pacific Energy GP, LP, Pacific’s general partner) has unanimously approved the merger agreement and determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of Pacific and Pacific’s unitholders.
