ITEM 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On July 11, 2005, Duke Capital LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant, executed a Second Amendment to Reorganization Agreement by and among Duke Capital LLC, ConocoPhillips (Duke Capital LLC’s co-equity owner in Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (DEFS)) and DEFS. The Second Amendment amends the definitive agreement that provides for the reduction of Duke Capital LLC’s ownership interest in DEFS from 69.7% to 50%. The definitive agreement was described in the registrant’s Form 8-K filed on June 2, 2005. The Second Amendment provides that the transfer of ConocoPhillips’ Empress System assets to Duke Capital LLC will be delayed pending repairs to the asset from damage from a recent windstorm, and that if Duke Capital LLC elects to have the Empress System assets transferred to it, cash will be remitted to ConocoPhillips as consideration for the transfer.
