This Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D/A (“Amendment No. 2”) is being filed by Dan L. Duncan, an individual residing in Houston, Texas (“Dan Duncan”), Enterprise Products Delaware Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“EPDH”), EPC Partners II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EPC Partners”) and Enterprise Products Company, a Texas corporation (“EPCO”) to amend the Schedule 13D originally filed on August 14, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed September 12, 2003 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), by Dan Duncan, EPDH, EPC Partners and EPCO (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.
No change to this Item.
No change to this Item.
No change to this Item.
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
On December 15, 2003, the Issuer and certain of its affiliates, El Paso Corporation (“El Paso”) and certain of its affiliates, and GulfTerra Energy Partners, L.P. (“GulfTerra”) and certain of its affiliates entered into a series of definitive agreements pursuant to which the Issuer and GulfTerra will merge.
Pursuant to a Parent Company Agreement among the Issuer, Enterprise Products GP, LLC, the Issuer’s general partner (“EPGP”), Enterprise Products GTM, LLC (“Enterprise GTM”), and El Paso and certain of its affiliates, Enterprise GTM acquired for $425 million in cash a 50% membership interest in GulfTerra Energy Company, L.L.C., GulfTerra’s general partner (“GulfTerra GP”). As a result of this transaction, GulfTerra GP is now 50% owned by Enterprise GTM, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and 50% owned by a subsidiary of El Paso. Under GulfTerra GP’s limited liability company agreement, an affiliate of El Paso will serve as the managing member of GulfTerra GP, and Enterprise GTM’s rights will be limited to protective consent rights on certain transactions affecting GulfTerra or GulfTerra GP.
The Parent Company Agreement also provides that, immediately prior to the merger, El Paso will contribute its remaining 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP to EPGP in exchange for a 50% membership interest in EPGP. Affiliates of privately-owned EPCO will
6
continue to own the other 50% membership interest in EPGP. EPGP will then contribute the 50% membership interest in GulfTerra GP to the Issuer for no consideration. In addition, immediately prior to the merger, the Issuer will purchase approximately 13.8 million GulfTerra limited partnership units from subsidiaries of El Paso for $500 million in cash, consisting of all of their GulfTerra Series C Units and approximately 2.9 million GulfTerra common units.
Pursuant to a Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), a subsidiary of the Issuer will merge with and into GulfTerra, with GulfTerra surviving the merger. As a result of the merger, GulfTerra will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, holders of GulfTerra’s common units (other than the Issuer) will receive 1.81 Issuer Common Units representing limited partner interests in the Issuer in exchange for each GulfTerra common unit owned.
The completion of the merger is subject to the approval of the common unitholders of the Issuer and both the common unitholders and Series C unitholders of GulfTerra, voting as separate classes, along with customary regulatory approvals, including under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. Completion of the merger is expected to occur during the second half of 2004.
Except as noted in this Item 4 or in Item 6 in this Amendment No. 2, none of the Reporting Persons has any specific plans or proposals that would result in any of the matters described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
(a) EPDH holds directly 112,100,118 Common Units. EPDH is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EPC Partners. Accordingly, EPC Partners has an indirect beneficial ownership interest in the 112,100,118 Common Units owned by EPDH.
EPC Partners is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPCO. Therefore, EPCO has an indirect beneficial ownership interest in the 112,100,118 Common Units held by EPDH.
Dan Duncan is the record owner of 111,600 Common Units. Therefore, Dan Duncan exercises sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 111,600 Common Units that he owns. In addition, Dan Duncan has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Units held by (1) the Duncan Family 1998 Trust, which owns 4,278,200 Common Units, and (2) the Duncan Family 2000 Trust, which owns 200,036 Common Units. Therefore, Dan Duncan is also the beneficial owner of the 4,278,200 and 200,036 Common Units held by the Duncan Family 1998 Trust and the Duncan Family 2000 Trust, respectively.
Dan Duncan owns 50.437% of the voting stock of EPCO and, accordingly, exercises shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the 112,100,118 Common Units beneficially owned by EPCO, which, together with Dan Duncan’s 111,600 Common Units, the 4,278,200 Common Units owned by the Duncan Family 1998 Trust, and the 200,036 Common Units
7
owned by the Duncan Family 2000 Trust, represents 54.7% of the outstanding Common Units (based upon the number of Common Units outstanding as of December 1, 2003). The remaining shares of EPCO capital stock are owned primarily by trusts established for the benefit of Dan Duncan’s family.
(b) As set forth herein, Dan Duncan has sole voting and dispositive power over the 111,600 Common Units that he owns, the 4,278,200 Common Units owned by the Duncan Family 1998 Trust, and the 200,036 Common Units owned by the Duncan Family 2000 Trust. Dan Duncan also has shared voting and dispositive power over the 112,100,118 Common Units beneficially owned by EPCO.
As set forth herein, EPCO has shared voting and dispositive power over the 112,100,118 Common Units beneficially owned by EPDH (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EPCO).
As set forth herein, EPC Partners (a wholly-owned subsidiary of EPCO) has shared voting and dispositive power over the 112,100,118 Common Units beneficially owned by EPDH, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary.
As set forth herein, EPDH has shared voting and dispositive power over the 112,100,118 Common Units beneficially owned by EPDH.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transactions in Common Units in the past 60 days.
On September 30, 2003, EPDH transferred 2,000,000 Common Units to the Duncan Family 1998 Trust.
On November 12, 2003, EPDH purchased 1,468,448 Common Units pursuant to the Issuer’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan. The source of the funds used to purchase such Common Units pursuant to the Distribution Reinvestment Plan was the quarterly cash distributions on the Common Units currently held by EPDH.
(d) No person other than as set forth in the response to this Item 5 has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the transfer of, the Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e) Not applicable.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of such item:
In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and Parent Company Agreement described in response to Item 6, Dan Duncan, the Duncan Family 1998
9
Trust, the Duncan Family 2000 Trust and EPDH (the “Unitholders”) each entered into a Voting Agreement and Proxy (the “Voting Agreement and Proxy”) and agreed therein to vote the Common Units owned by each of them (a) in favor of the issuance of Common Units by the Issuer pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (b) against (i) any Possible Alternative (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) any proposal for action or agreement that is reasonably likely to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Issuer, EPGP, or the Issuer’s merger subsidiary under the Merger Agreement or that is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions to the obligations of Issuer under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, or (iii) any other action which could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially affect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the likelihood of such transactions being consummated.
Each of the Unitholders appointed GulfTerra and any of its designees as the proxy of such Unitholder, each with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote the Common Units held by such Unitholder at any meeting of the holders of Common Units of the Issuer held prior to the termination of the Voting Agreement and Proxy, as described below, and to execute any written consent of such Unitholder in lieu of any such meeting, with the same force and effect as such vote would have if the Unitholder were personally present at such meeting or signed such consent, in all cases however, in accordance with the terms set forth above. The proxy contained in the Voting Agreement and Proxy is only revocable by a Unitholder, and will thereupon be deemed to be revoked, if the Board of Directors of EPGP withdraws its recommendation that the holders of the Issuer’s Common Units vote in favor of the issuance of additional Common Units pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
The Voting Agreement and Proxy will terminate upon the first to occur of (i) the effective time of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. In addition, the Voting Agreement and Proxy will terminate with respect to a Unitholder upon such Unitholder’s revocation of the proxy contained in the Voting Agreement and Proxy as described above.
A copy of the Voting Agreement and Proxy is filed as an exhibit to this Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
