Subject:	MERGER NAME ANNOUNCEMENT

Ever since we announced the proposed merger of Hanover and Universal Compression in early February, I’ve been asked the same question at every company location I’ve visited: What will our new name be after the merger closes?

Today, I am pleased to announce that the name and logo of the merged company will be Exterran.

Pronounced “X-ter-an,” the name stems from words meaning from the earth and we believe this reflects the nature of the energy industry which we proudly serve.

The selection of Exterran was guided by a joint task force with members from both Hanover and Universal. The naming process also included extensive customer and employee research.

The logo’s primary colors of blue and black represent the two principal energy sources—natural gas and crude oil—that are the primary focus of our customer base. The arching “X” represents the expanded global reach of Exterran as we leverage the combined strengths of both companies to provide a world of opportunity for our employees, customers and shareholders.

The selection of our new name marks another important milestone in our merger planning activities. As the integration process moves along and more information is available to share, we will publish it in print and on our Intranet site. We also invite you to continue to send questions about the proposed merger to info@hanover-co.com.

Later this morning, a video presentation regarding this name announcement and a brief update of the proposed merger will be posted on the Hanover intranet site http://my.hanover-co.com/Pages/Default.aspx and will also be available on DVD to those offices without intranet access.

We are embarking on an exciting journey together and are enthusiastic about the future. We’ll continue to keep you updated about Exterran throughout the merger approval process and up until the merger closes, which we still anticipate will occur in the third quarter of 2007. In the meantime, please remember that until we close this proposed merger, both companies remain strong competitors in the marketplace and we must continue to compete vigorously. And, as always, we ask that you continue your commitment to work safely, and continue delivering the highest quality of service to customers and superior performance for shareholders.
