Announcement Regarding Potential Five-Year Bank Credit Facility
On August 9, 2011, EPD launched the formal syndication of a new $3.25 billion 5-year bank
credit facility. Prior to launch, EPD had already received approximately $3.2 billion of informal
lender commitments from its largest banks for this new facility. This facility, which is guaranteed
by EPD, but under which Enterprise Products Operating LLC (a wholly owned subsidiariy of EPD
(EPO)) is the borrower, would replace EPOs existing $1.75 billion credit facility, which matures
in the fourth quarter of 2012. Completion of the new bank credit facility remains subject to
negotiation of a definitive credit agreement and customary closing conditions.
The proposed merger of DEP with a wholly owned subsidiary of EPD (the Duncan Merger) is not
conditioned on the completion of the new bank credit facility. However, assuming that the Duncan
Merger is completed in September 2011, this new bank facility is expected to be available to
refinance DEPs bank credit facilities, which would be terminated upon completion of the Duncan
Merger. At June 30, 2011, DEP had $1.15 billion of debt outstanding.

No. 333-174321), which includes a prospectus of EPD and a proxy statement of DEP and other
