(“Enterprise”), as amended (the “Registration Statement”). Such Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and relates to the issuance by Enterprise of common units representing limited partner interests in Enterprise (the “Common Units”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 11, 2014, by and among: Enterprise; Enterprise Products Holdings LLC, the general partner of Enterprise; EPOT MergerCo LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise; the Partnership; and OTLP GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership.
