Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 8, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (the “Partnership”) executed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) in connection with entering into a seven-year, $850 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan B”). Proceeds from the Term Loan B were used to permanently refinance borrowings outstanding under the Partnership’s $850 million Term Loan A-2, which had a maturity date in May 2008. The Partnership’s obligations under the amended Credit Agreement, including obligations under the Term Loan B, are secured by a pledge of (i) units of limited partnership interest in Enterprise Products Partners L.P.; (ii) membership interest in Enterprise Products GP, LLC; (iii) units of limited partnership interest in Energy Transfer Equity, L.P.; (iv) units of limited partnership interest in TEPPCO Partners, L.P.; and (v) membership interest in Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC.

 

The Term Loan B generally bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25 percent and is scheduled to mature on November 8, 2014. The Term Loan B is callable for up to one year by the partnership at 101 percent of the principal amount outstanding, plus accrued interest, and at par plus accrued interest thereafter. This transaction completes the permanent financing related to the Partnership’s acquisition of general and limited partner equity interests in TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. on May 7, 2007. Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. and Lehman Brothers Inc. served as co-arrangers and joint book-running managers for the Term Loan B financing.

 

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1. A more complete description of the Credit Agreement is contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 30, 2007, and a copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as an exhibit thereto.
