Issuance of $1.25 Billion of Senior Notes in August 2020

In August 2020, EPO issued $1.0 billion in principal amount of 3.20% senior notes due February 2052 (“Senior Notes DDD”) and $250.0 million in principal amount of 2.80% reopened senior notes due January 2030 (“Senior Notes AAA”).  The reopened Senior Notes AAA and the Senior Notes DDD were issued at 107.211% and 99.233% of their principal amounts, respectively.

We received aggregate net proceeds of $1.25 billion from the sale of the notes after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.  Net proceeds from the issuance of these senior notes will be used for general company purposes, including for growth capital investments, and to repay all or part of $750.0 million in principal amount of Senior Notes TT, which mature in February 2021.

The reopened Senior Notes AAA represent a re-opening of an outstanding series of EPO’s senior notes. EPO originally issued $1.0 billion principal amount of Senior Notes AAA on January 15, 2020. The reopened Senior Notes AAA will form a single series with the original notes of that series, will trade under the same CUSIP number, and will have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the original notes of that series.
