Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed June 20, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On June 20, 2025, Enterprise Products Partners L.P.
(EPD) and its operating subsidiary Enterprise Products Operating LLC (EPO) closed a $2.0 billiona public offering of senior unsecured notes in three tranches: $500 million of 4.30% notes due June 20, 2028, $750 million of 4.60% notes due January 15, 2031, and $750 million of 5.20% notes due January 15, 2036. EPD fully and unconditionally guarantees the notes on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis. The notes were issued at 99.869%, 99.816%, and 99.665% of principal, respectively.
The offering was registered on Form S-3 and sold through Citigroup, BBVA, Deutsche Bank, Scotia Capital and TD Securities as representatives of the underwriters. For investors, the deal is a routine refinancing and liquidity action. EPD expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including growth capital and possible acquisitions, and to repay debt, including amounts outstanding under EPO's commercial paper program.
Some underwriters or their affiliates hold commercial paper that will be repaid, so they may receive a substantial share of the proceeds. The filing shows about $33.1 billionb of consolidated indebtedness on an as-adjusted basis at March 31, 2025, and EPD itself carries no direct debt beyond its guarantees. The notes are subject to make-whole redemption before their par call dates and to par redemption afterward.
The filing does not disclose changes to financial results, guidance, or operations. Its significance lies in the cost and maturity profile of the new debt, which extends EPO's maturity ladder into 2036 and replaces short-term commercial paper with fixed-rate term debt.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who issued the notes, and who guarantees them?
Enterprise Products Operating LLC (EPO) is the issuer. Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) provides a full and unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated parent guarantee. Initially no subsidiaries guarantee the notes, although they could in the future if they guarantee EPD's funded debt.
What are the coupons and maturities of the new notes?
The $500 million notes carry a 4.30% coupon and mature June 20, 2028. The $750 million notes carry a 4.60% coupon and mature January 15, 2031. The $750 million notes carry a 5.20% coupon and mature January 15, 2036. Interest is paid semi-annually, beginning December 20, 2025 for the 2028 notes and January 15, 2026 for the 2031 and 2036 notes.
Why is the company issuing this debt?
Proceeds will go to general corporate purposes, including growth capital investments and possible acquisitions, and to repaying debt, including commercial paper outstanding under EPO's program. Using term notes to retire commercial paper reduces reliance on short-term borrowing and extends the maturity profile.
Does the filing indicate any change in the company's financial performance or outlook?
No. The 8-K covers only the debt offering and related agreements. It does not report earnings, guidance, or operational changes. Investors should review EPD's periodic reports for financial performance.
Can the company redeem the notes early?
Yes. Before each par call date, EPO may redeem the notes at the greater of a make-whole price (based on Treasury yields plus 10 basis points for the 2028 and 2031 notes and 15 basis points for the 2036 notes) or 100% of principal, plus accrued interest. On or after the par call dates (May 20, 2028; December 15, 2030; and October 15, 2035), EPO may redeem at 100% of principal plus accrued interest.
