Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into EEQ, with EEQ continuing as the surviving entity and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger, each Listed Share of EEQ representing limited partner interests in EEQ (each, an “EEQ Listed Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (excluding certain “Excluded Shares,” as defined in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive from Enbridge 0.335 of a common share of Enbridge (“Enbridge Share” and such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

Enbridge issued [●] Enbridge Shares in connection with the Merger. The issuance of the Enbridge Shares in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Enbridge’s registration statement on Form S-4 (Reg No. 333-227768), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2018. The proxy statement/prospectus included in the registration statement contains additional information about the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to EEQ’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2018.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, EEQ notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that each outstanding EEQ Listed Share (other than Excluded Shares) was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and requested that NYSE withdraw the listing of the EEQ Listed Shares. Upon EEQ’s request, the NYSE filed a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC with respect to the delisting of the EEQ Listed Shares. The EEQ Listed Shares ceased being traded prior to the opening of the market on December 20, 2018, and will no longer be listed on NYSE. In addition, EEQ intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting that the reporting obligations of EEQ under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), be suspended with respect to the EEQ Listed Shares.
