Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
On May 29, 2002, we participated in a meeting discussing our strategic
repositioning plan with institutional analysts that was simultaneously webcast
and accessible by telephone for all investors. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a
slide presentation used at that meeting. It is not filed, but furnished to
comply with Regulation FD. The information disclosed in this Item 9 Current
Report on Form 8-K is not considered "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not subject to the liabilities of that
section.
Because this presentation was in the form of a slide presentation, the
text on each page of the presentation was kept to a minimum to facilitate visual
communication and to emphasize the major points of our plan. The presentation
materials are also currently available on our website, http://www.elpaso.com, in
the section marked "For Investors".
