We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Enterprise GP, our general partner), which are not a part of our consolidated group of companies.  At December 31, 2012, EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Dan Duncan LLC and certain Duncan family trusts, the beneficiaries of which include the estate of Dan L. Duncan) beneficially owned the following limited partner interests in us:
 
Number of Units

Total Units
Outstanding
339,130,881 (1)
37.5%
(1)   Includes 4,520,431 Class B units.

We and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other activities and to meet their debt obligations.  The following table presents cash distributions received by EPCO and its privately held affiliates from us and Holdings during the periods presented:

From time-to-time, EPCO and its privately held affiliates elect to reinvest a portion of the cash distributions they would otherwise receive from us into the purchase of additional common units under our DRIP.  See Note 13 for information regarding these reinvestments, including an expected reinvestment of up to $100 million during 2013.
