Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 7, 2010, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into an
underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) for the public offering of 9,500,000 of its
common units, and up to 1,425,000 additional common units to cover over-allotments, if any. A copy
of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto. Closing of the issuance and sale of
the common units is scheduled for January 12, 2010.
This offering has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No.
333-145709) of the Partnership (the “Registration Statement”), and the prospectus supplement dated
January 7, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
Securities Act (the “Prospectus”).
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the
common units are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and other customary conditions.
The underwriters are obligated to purchase all of the common units if they purchase any of the common
units. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may
be required to make in respect of any of those liabilities.
The Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily reduce
borrowings outstanding under Enterprise Products Operating LLC’s (“EPO”) multi-year revolving
credit facility, which may be reborrowed to fund capital expenditures and other growth projects,
and for general partnership purposes. Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under
EPO’s multi-year revolving credit facility and, accordingly, will receive a substantial portion of
the net proceeds from this offering. Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have performed
investment banking, commercial banking and advisory services for the Partnership and its affiliates
from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The underwriters and
their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the
Partnership and its affiliates in the ordinary course of their business.
The description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to
Exhibit 1.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Certain legal opinions related to the Registration Statement are also filed herewith as
Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1.
