| Step One. On December 15, 2003, Enterprise purchased a 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP from El Paso for $425 million in cash. GulfTerra GP owned a 1% general partner interest in GulfTerra. Prior to completion of the GulfTerra Merger, Enterprise accounted for its investment in GulfTerra GP using the equity method of accounting. The $425 million in funds required to complete Step One were borrowed by our Operating Partnership under an Interim Term Loan and its pre-merger revolving credit facilities. These borrowings were fully repaid with the net proceeds from equity offerings completed during 2004 by Enterprise. |
| Step Two. On September 30, 2004, the GulfTerra Merger was consummated and GulfTerra and GulfTerra GP became wholly owned subsidiaries of Enterprise. Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger included the following: |
- | Immediately prior to closing the GulfTerra Merger, Enterprise GP acquired El Pasos remaining 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP for $370 million in cash paid to El Paso and the issuance of a 9.9% membership interest in Enterprise GP to El Paso. Subsequently, Enterprise Products GP contributed this 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP to us without the receipt of additional general partner interest, common units or other consideration. Enterprise Products GP borrowed the foregoing $370 million from one of its members, Dan Duncan LLC, which obtained the funds through a loan from EPCO. | |
- | Immediately prior to closing the GulfTerra Merger, Enterprise paid $500 million in cash to El Paso for 10,937,500 Series C units of GulfTerra and 2,876,620 common units of GulfTerra. The remaining 57,762,369 GulfTerra common units (7,433,425 of which were owned by El Paso) were converted into 104,549,823 Enterprise common units (13,454,498 of which were held by El Paso) at the time of the consummation of the GulfTerra Merger. |
| Step Three. Immediately after Step Two was completed, Enterprise acquired certain South Texas midstream assets from El Paso for $155.3 million in cash. Pursuant to written agreements, our purchase of the South Texas midstream assets was effective September 1, 2004. |

Total consideration for Steps One through Three

$ | 3,981.8 | ||||
(1) | This fair value is based on 50% of an implied $922.7 million total value of GulfTerra GP, which assumes that the $370 million cash payment made by Enterprise Products GP to El Paso represented consideration for a 40.1% interest in GulfTerra GP. The 40.1% interest was derived by deducting the 9.9% membership interest in Enterprise Products GP granted to El Paso in this transaction from the 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP that Enterprise Products GP received. The fair value of $461.3 million assigned to this voting membership interest in GulfTerra GP compares favorably to the $425 million paid to El Paso by Enterprise to purchase its initial 50% non-voting membership interest in GulfTerra GP in December 2003. The contribution of this 50% membership interest to Enterprise is allocated for financial reporting purposes to Enterprises limited partners and general partner based on the respective ownership percentages and the related allocation of profits and losses of 98% and 2%, respectively, both of which are consistent with the Partnership Agreement. |
(2) | Reflects the present value of a contract-based receivable from El Paso received as part of the negotiated net consideration reached in Step One of the GulfTerra Merger. The agreements between Enterprise and El Paso provide that for a period of three years following the closing of the GulfTerra Merger, El Paso will make transition support payments to Enterprise in annual amounts of $18 million, $15 million and $12 million for the first, second and third years of such period, respectively, payable in twelve equal monthly installments for each such year. The $45 million receivable from El Paso has been discounted to fair value and recorded as a reduction in the purchase consideration for GulfTerra. This contract-based receivable was recorded at its fair value of $40.3 million and classified within other assets on Enterprises condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2004. |
(3) | As a result of the GulfTerra Merger, Enterprise incurred expenses of approximately $31.1 million for various transaction fees and other direct costs. These direct costs include fees for legal, accounting, printing, financial advisory and other services rendered by third-parties to Enterprise over the course of the GulfTerra Merger transactions. This amount also includes $3.4 million of involuntary severance costs. |

(a) During 2004, Enterprise sold 39,683,591 common units, which generated aggregate net proceeds of approximately $805.2 million. The issuance of these common units was as follows: |
| 1,053,861 common units issued in February 2004 in connection with Enterprises DRIP and related programs. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution, total net proceeds from this offering were $23.1 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds from this offering for general partnership purposes. | |
| 17,250,000 common units sold to the public and 1,757,347 common units issued in connection with the DRIP and related programs in May 2004. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution, total net proceeds from these offerings were $388.4 million. Enterprise used $353.1 million of the net proceeds from its May 2004 public offering to repay the Operating Partnerships $225 million Interim Term Loan and to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under the Operating Partnerships then existing revolving credit facilities by approximately $130 million. Enterprise used the $35.3 million in net proceeds received in connection with its DRIP for general partnership purposes. | |
| 17,250,000 common units sold to the public and 173,033 common units issued in connection with the DRIP and related programs in August 2004. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution, total net proceeds from these offerings were $344.4 million. Enterprise used $210 million of the net proceeds from its August 2004 public offering to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under the Operating Partnerships then existing revolving credit facilities and the remainder to fund its payment obligations to El Paso in connection with Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger. | |
| 2,199,350 common units issued in November 2004 in connection with the DRIP and related programs. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution, total net proceeds from this offering were $49.3 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes. |
As a result of the February, May, August and November 2004 offerings described above, the weighted average number of Enterprise common units outstanding increased 19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Since the receipt of proceeds from these offering and the related increases in partners equity are already reflected in Enterprises historical condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2005, no pro forma adjustments to the balance sheet are necessary. | |
As a result of the use of proceeds from these offerings, pro forma interest expense decreased $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. In calculating the pro forma adjustment to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004, we used an average historical variable interest rate of approximately 1.8%, which was determined by reference to the debt obligations that were either completely repaid or temporarily reduced using proceeds from such offerings of common units. If the variable interest rates used to determine the pro forma adjustments to interest expense were 1/8% higher, the pro forma reduction in interest expense would have been $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. |
(b) In May 2003, GulfTerra issued 80 Series F convertible units in a registered offering to an institutional investor. Each Series F convertible unit was comprised of two separate detachable units a Series F1 convertible unit and Series F2 convertible unit that had identical terms except for vesting and termination dates and the number of common units into which they could be converted upon payment of the calculated purchase price per common unit. Prior to the GulfTerra Merger, all the Series F1 convertible units were converted into GulfTerra common units by the holder. As a result of the GulfTerra Merger, Enterprise assumed GulfTerras obligation associated with the Series F2 convertible units. All Series F2 convertible units outstanding at the merger date were converted into rights to purchase Enterprise common units. The Series F2 units were convertible into to up to $40 million of Enterprise common units. | |
On October 29, 2004, 60 of the 80 outstanding Series F2 convertible units were converted into 1,458,434 Enterprise common units. On November 8, 2004, the remaining 20 outstanding Series F2 convertible units were converted into 491,883 Enterprise common units. As a result of these conversions, Enterprise received net proceeds of approximately $39.6 million, which includes the related 2% capital contributions made by Enterprise Products GP. Enterprise used the net proceeds from these conversions for general partnership purposes. As a result of these transactions, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(c) Reflects the pro forma adjustment to common units outstanding resulting from the issuance of 104,549,823 Enterprise common units in the exchange with GulfTerras common unit holders on September 30, 2004 under Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger. The pro forma effect of these new common units on the weight-average number of Enterprise units outstanding is an increase of 78 million common units for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(d) On September 30, 2004, our Operating Partnership borrowed approximately $2.6 billion under its Merger Credit Facilities to (i) fund cash payment obligations to El Paso under Step Two and Step Three of the GulfTerra Merger transactions, (ii) escrow $1.1 billion in cash to finance its tender offers for GulfTerras senior and senior subordinated notes and (iii) repay $962 million outstanding under GulfTerras revolving credit facility and secured term loans on the merger closing date. | |
The pro forma adjustment to interest expense resulting from these borrowings is $68.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. In calculating the pro forma adjustment to interest expense, we used an estimated variable interest rate of 4.8%, which approximates the interest rate we are currently being charged on amounts borrowed under our Operating Partnerships Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility. If this estimated interest rate were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would be $71.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense also reflects the removal of historical interest expense amounts recorded by GulfTerra related to its revolving credit facility and secured term loans of $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Enterprises condensed consolidated historical balance sheet at September 30, 2005 already reflects these borrowings; therefore, no pro forma adjustment is required. | |
(e) On October 4, 2004, our Operating Partnership issued $2 billion of senior unsecured notes in a private offering. The net proceeds from this offering were used to reduce debt outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities. The fixed-interest rate, principal amount issued |
and net proceeds (before offering expenses) of each senior note in this offering were as follows: |

After giving effect to the application of proceeds to reduce principal amounts outstanding under our Operating Partnerships variable-rate Merger Credit Facilities, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense resulting from the issuance of these senior notes is $8.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the variable interest rate used to calculate the reduction in interest expense associated with the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would have been $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Enterprises condensed consolidated historical balance sheet at September 30, 2005 already reflects this transaction; therefore, no pro forma adjustment is required. | |
(f) During 2004, our Operating Partnership entered into eight forward-starting interest rate swap transactions in anticipation of financing activities associated with closing the GulfTerra Merger transactions. The Operating Partnerships purpose in entering into these transactions was to effectively hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rate related to its expected issuance of $2 billion of fixed-rate debt. On October 4, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $2 billion of senior unsecured notes in a private offering (see Note (e)). Each of the forward starting swaps was designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. | |
In April 2004, the Operating Partnership elected to terminate the initial four forward-starting swaps in order to manage and maximize the value of the swaps and to reduce future debt service costs. As a result, it received $104.5 million in cash from the counterparties. In September 2004, the remaining four swaps were settled resulting in an $85.1 million payment to the counterparties. The net gain of $19.4 million from these eight swaps was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to earnings over the life of the associated debt as a reduction in interest expense and accumulated other comprehensive income. The pro forma amortization of this gain reduced interest expense by $3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. No pro forma adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Enterprise at September 30, 2005 is required. | |
(g) On October 4, 2004, all of the cash tender offers made by the Operating Partnership for any and all of GulfTerras outstanding senior and senior subordinated notes expired. As of the expiration time, the Operating Partnership had received tenders of such notes aggregating $915 million, or 99.3% of the notes outstanding. On October 5, 2004, the Operating Partnership purchased the notes for a total price of approximately $1.1 billion using amounts borrowed under the Merger Credit Facilities. The following table shows the four GulfTerra senior debt obligations affected, including the principal amount of each series of notes |
tendered, as well as the payment made by the Operating Partnership to complete the tender offers. |

The pro forma adjustments to interest expense reflect the removal of historical interest expense amounts recorded by GulfTerra associated with such senior note obligations. These adjustments decreased pro forma fixed-rate interest expense by $56.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Enterprises condensed consolidated historical balance sheet at September 30, 2005 already reflects these transactions; therefore, no pro forma adjustment is required. | |
(h) Reflects the pro forma depreciation and amortization adjustment for GulfTerras and the South Texas midstream assets property, plant and equipment and intangible assets based on the final purchase price allocation for the GulfTerra Merger transactions (see page ). For purposes of calculating pro forma depreciation expense, we applied the straight-line method using remaining useful lives ranging from 10 years to 33 years (depending on the type of asset) to Enterprises new basis in such assets of approximately $4.7 billion. | |
In addition, Enterprise recorded $743.5 million of amortizable intangible assets, which are primarily comprised of the fair value of certain customer relationships and storage contracts. For purposes of calculating pro forma amortization expense attributable to the customer relationship intangible assets, we based such expense primarily on the patterns in which the economic benefits of each intangible asset are expected to be consumed by referencing the forecasted production rates of the underlying resource bases (i.e., the oil and gas reserves associated with the customer relationship intangible assets) from which the customers produce. For purposes of calculating pro forma amortization expense attributable to the storage contract intangible assets, we applied the straight-line method to the remainder of the respective contract terms, which we estimate could range from 2 to 18 years. | |
Overall, the pro forma depreciation and amortization expense adjustment was $106.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, after taking into account the historical expense amounts recorded by GulfTerra and the South Texas midstream assets. | |
(i) In accordance with the purchase and sale agreement between Enterprise and El Paso for the South Texas midstream assets, El Paso retained a number of natural gas liquids marketing contracts. Enterprises pro forma condensed statement of consolidated operations for the year |
ended December 31, 2004 includes adjustments to remove $426.6 million of revenues and $421.5 million of operating costs and expenses associated with these retained contracts. | |
(j) After Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger was completed on September 30, 2004, GulfTerra GP became a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise. This pro forma adjustment reflects the replacement of equity earnings from GulfTerra GP that Enterprise recorded under Step One of the merger, with consolidated earnings from GulfTerra, as if Step Two had occurred on January 1, 2004. This adjustment required the removal of $32 million of equity earnings from GulfTerra GP that Enterprise recorded during the first nine months of 2004. Enterprise acquired its initial 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP on December 15, 2003 under Step One of the GulfTerra Merger. | |
(k) In connection with the GulfTerra Merger transactions, Enterprise recorded the present value of a contract-based receivable from El Paso totaling $40.3 million, which was part of the negotiated net consideration reached in Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger. Our pro forma condensed statement of consolidated operations reflects $1.2 million of imputed interest income that would have been recognized from this agreement during 2004. | |
(l) Reflects pro forma classification adjustments necessary to conform GulfTerras and the South Texas midstream assets historical condensed statements of consolidated operations to Enterprises method of presentation. The reclassifications were as follows: |
| GulfTerras and the South Texas midstream assets general and administrative costs were reclassified to a separate line item within operating expenses to conform to Enterprises method of presentation. GulfTerras and the South Texas midstream assets general and administrative costs were $46.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
| GulfTerras operating income increased as a result of reclassifying its equity earnings from unconsolidated affiliates to a separate component of operating income to conform with Enterprises presentation of such earnings. As a result of this reclassification, GulfTerras operating income increased by $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Enterprises equity investments with industry partners are a vital component of its business strategy. Such investments are a means by which Enterprise conducts its operations to align its interests with those of its customers, which may be a supplier of raw materials or a consumer of finished products. This method of operation also enables Enterprise to achieve favorable economies of scale relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus what Enterprise could accomplish on a stand-alone basis. Many of these equity investments perform supporting or complementary roles to Enterprises other business operations. GulfTerra has a similar relationship with its equity investees. |
(m) Reflects the pro forma elimination of significant revenues and expenses between Enterprise, GulfTerra and the South Texas midstream assets as appropriate in consolidation. Upon completion of the GulfTerra Merger, GulfTerra and the South Texas midstream assets became wholly owned subsidiaries of Enterprise. | |
(n) Reflects the sale of 17,250,000 Enterprise common units at an offering price of $27.05 per unit in February 2005 (including the over-allotment amount of 2,250,000 common units issued in March 2005). Total net proceeds from this sale were approximately $456.7 million after deducting applicable underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses of approximately $19 million. Included in total net proceeds of $456.7 million is a net capital contribution made by Enterprise Products GP of $9.1 million to maintain its 2% general partner interest in Enterprise, after deducting the general partners share of the underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. For pro forma purposes, the net |
proceeds from this equity offering, including Enterprise GPs net capital contribution, were used to reduce debt outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities. As a result of this offering, the weight-average number of common units outstanding increased 3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
As a result of our pro forma application of proceeds from this offering to reduce debt outstanding, pro forma interest expense decreased by $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $21.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the variable interest rate used to calculate the reduction in interest expense was 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would have been $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(o) Reflects Enterprises February 2005 issuance of 1,516,561 common units in connection with its DRIP and related programs. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution of approximately $0.8 million, total net proceeds from this offering were approximately $39 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds from this offering for general partnership purposes. As a result of this offering, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(p) Reflects the Operating Partnerships combined issuance of $500 million of senior notes in February 2005 comprised of $250 million in principal amount of 5.00% senior notes due March 2015 (Senior Notes I) and $250 million in principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due March 2035 (Senior Notes J). The Operating Partnership used the $490.6 million in net proceeds from the issuance of these fixed-rate senior notes to retire its $350 million in principal amount 8.25% Senior Notes A (due March 2005) and to temporarily reduce indebtedness outstanding under its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility. | |
After giving effect to the issuance of Senior Notes I and J in February 2005 and the related application of net proceeds, pro forma interest expense would decrease by $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the variable interest rate used to calculate the reduction in interest expense were 1/8% higher, the pro forma decrease in interest expense would have been $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(q) The net proceeds from issuance of Senior Notes I and J described in Note (p) reflect the payment of $9.4 million in bond discounts and debt issuance costs. For pro forma purposes, we have amortized these costs over the term of the senior notes they are associated with using the straight-line method. As a result, pro forma interest expense increased $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(r) Reflects the sale by Enterprise of its 50% equity investment in Starfish, which owns the Stingray natural gas pipeline and related gathering pipelines and dehydration and other facilities located in south Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana. In connection with obtaining regulatory approval for the GulfTerra Merger, Enterprise was required by the FTC to sell its ownership interest in Starfish by March 31, 2005. On March 31, 2005, Enterprise sold this asset to a third-party for approximately $42.1 million in cash and realized a gain on the sale of $5.5 million. |
Enterprise recognized equity earnings from Starfish of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our pro forma adjustments reflect the removal of these equity earnings since, for pro forma earnings purposes, we have assumed that the sale of Starfish occurred immediately prior to January 1, 2004. Likewise, we have removed the $5.5 million gain on the sale of Starfish from our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Our September 30, 2005 historical condensed balance sheet already reflects the sale of Starfish; therefore, no pro forma adjustments are required. | |
(s) Reflects Enterprises May 2005 issuance of 410,249 common units in connection with its DRIP and related programs. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution of approximately $0.2 million, total net proceeds from this offering were approximately $10.4 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds from this offering for general partnership purposes. As a result of this offering, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(t) Reflects the Operating Partnerships issuance in June 2005 of $500 million in principal amount of 4.95% senior notes due June 2010 (Senior Notes K). The Operating Partnership used the $495.7 million in net proceeds from the issuance of these fixed-rate senior notes to temporarily reduce debt outstanding under its Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures and business combinations. | |
After giving effect to the issuance of Senior Notes K in June 2005 and the related application of net proceeds, pro forma interest expense would increase by $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the variable interest rate underlying the Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility were 1/8% higher, the pro forma decrease in interest expense would have been $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(u) The net proceeds from issuance of Senior Notes K described in Note (t) reflect the payment of $4.3 million in bond discounts and debt issuance costs. For pro forma purposes, we have amortized these costs over the term of the senior notes they are associated with using the straight-line method. As a result, pro forma interest expense increased $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(v) Reflects Enterprises August 2005 issuance of 399,812 common units in connection with its DRIP and related programs. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution of approximately $0.2 million, total net proceeds from this offering were approximately $10.1 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds from this offering for general partnership purposes. As a result of this offering, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. | |
(w) Reflects Enterprises November 2005 issuance of 403,118 common units in connection with its DRIP and related programs. Including Enterprise Products GPs related 2% capital contribution of approximately $0.2 million, total net proceeds from this offering were approximately $10.1 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily reduce indebtedness outstanding under the Operating Partnerships Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of this offering, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004. |
As a result of our pro forma application of proceeds from this sale of common units to reduce debt outstanding, pro forma interest expense decreased by $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the variable interest rate used to calculate the reduction in interest expense were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense for both periods would not have been materially different from that noted above. | |
(x) Reflects the sale in this offering of 4,000,000 Enterprise common units at an offering price of $25.03 per unit. Total net proceeds from this sale are expected to be approximately $99.6 million after deducting applicable underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses of $2.5 million. Included in the total net proceeds of $99.6 million is a net capital contribution made by Enterprise Products GP of $2.0 million to maintain its 2% general partner interest in Enterprise, after deducting the general partners share of the underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. For pro forma purposes, the net proceeds from this equity offering, including Enterprise Products GPs net capital contribution will be used to temporarily reduce debt outstanding under our Operating Partnerships Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility. | |
As a result of our pro forma application of proceeds from this offering to reduce debt outstanding, pro forma interest expense will decrease by $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. If the variable interest rate used to calculate the reduction in interest expense were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would have been $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. |
