Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 16, 2015, Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) received notice of the election by Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. (“Enbridge (U.S.)”) to reduce to zero the Enbridge (U.S.) commitment under that certain unsecured revolving 364-day credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) dated March 9, 2015, by and between Enbridge (U.S.), as lender, and the Partnership as borrower. There are currently no amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement. Enbridge (U.S.) is the indirect owner of Enbridge Energy Company, Inc., the Partnership’s general partner.

 

The Credit Agreement was a committed senior unsecured revolving credit facility that permits aggregate borrowings of up to, at any one time outstanding, $750 million. As previously reported, the commitment under the Credit Agreement may be permanently reduced by Enbridge (U.S.), from time to time, by up to an amount equal to the net cash proceeds to the Partnership from the sale by the Partnership of (i) its debt or equity securities in a registered public offering, or (ii) limited partnership interests in Midcoast Operating, L.P. to Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P. Enbridge (U.S.) has elected to reduce its commitment to zero following the Partnership’s public offering of $1.6 billion of debt securities in October of 2015.
