Exhibit 99.1
Targa Resources Partners LP Announces Plans
to List on the New York Stock Exchange
HOUSTON, December 14, 2009 Targa Resources Partners LP (NASDAQ: NGLS) (Targa Resources
Partners or the Partnership) today announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner
has approved the filing of an application to list its common units on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE). The Partnership anticipates that, subject to NYSE approval, its common units will begin
trading on the NYSE under its current ticker NGLS on or about January 25, 2010. Until that time,
the Partnerships common units will continue to trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol NGLS.
We believe the move to the NYSE builds on our strategy to increase value for our unit holders by
adding the benefits of increased trading liquidity and visibility and decreased volatility. We look
forward to joining many of our midstream industry peers already listed on the NYSE. Our
relationship with the NASDAQ has been positive and we appreciate their service over the years,
said Rene Joyce, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnerships general partner and of Targa
Resources, Inc. (Targa or the Company).
