Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on August 5, 2013, Spectra Energy Corp (“Spectra Energy”) entered into a Contribution Agreement (as amended, the “Contribution Agreement”) with Spectra Energy Partners, LP (“SEP”), pursuant to which Spectra Energy agreed to contribute to SEP substantially all of its interests in its subsidiaries that own U.S. transmission and storage and liquids assets and to assign to SEP its interests in certain related contracts (the “Dropdown Transactions”).

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, on November 1, 2013, Spectra Energy and SEP completed the closing of substantially all of the Dropdown Transactions (the “First Closing”), with the remaining closings of the Dropdown Transactions expected to occur at least 12 months following the First Closing (the “Second Closing”) and at least 12 months following the Second Closing (the “Third Closing”).

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, on November 3, 2014, Spectra Energy and SEP completed the Second Closing, which resulted in SEP’s acquisition of:

(i) an additional 24.95% interest in Southeast Supply Header, LLC (“SESH”), an approximate 290-mile natural gas transmission system, with associated compressor stations, owned jointly by Spectra Energy, SEP, CenterPoint Energy, Inc., Enable Midstream Partners, LP and certain of their respective affiliates, giving SEP a 49.9% interest in that system (with Spectra Energy’s remaining 0.1% interest in SESH to be contributed to SEP at the Third Closing); and

(ii) Spectra Energy’s remaining 1% interest in Steckman Ridge, LP, a 12 billion cubic foot depleted reservoir storage facility located in south central Pennsylvania, resulting in Steckman Ridge, LP being owned 50% by SEP and 50% by NJR Steckman Ridge Storage Company.

In connection with the Second Closing, SEP paid to Spectra Energy aggregate consideration consisting of 4,287,987 newly issued common units issued to certain subsidiaries of Spectra Energy. Also, in connection with the Second Closing, SEP issued 85,760 newly issued general partner units to Spectra Energy Partners (DE) GP, LP, the general partner of SEP (the “General Partner”), in exchange for 85,760 common units tendered by the General Partner in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in SEP.
