Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The information previously provided in response to Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph:

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the funding for the Merger (as defined below) described in Item 4 of this Amendment (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference) will consist entirely of newly issued shares of Enbridge Common Stock (as defined below) as described in Item 4 and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Enbridge Common Stock to which a holder is entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The information previously provided in response to this Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs:

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On August 24, 2018, the Issuer, SEP GP, Enbridge, EUSI, Autumn Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge (Merger Sub), and, solely for the purposes of Articles I, II and XI, EUSHI, Spectra Energy, SE Capital and SE Transmission entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the Merger), with the Issuer continuing as the sole surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each common unit representing a fractional part of the limited partner interests in the Issuer (each, an SEP Common Unit) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than certain excluded SEP Common Units owned by Enbridge and its subsidiaries , will be converted into, and become exchangeable for, 1.111 shares of Enbridge common stock (Enbridge Common Stock).

The conflicts committee (the Conflicts Committee) of the board of directors (the Board) of SEP GP LLC, the general partner of SEP GP, the general partner of the Issuer, has, acting in good faith and relying on the advice of its legal and financial advisors, unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of, the Issuer and the holders of the outstanding SEP Common Units (other than Enbridge and its affiliates), (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which such approval constituted Special Approval under the limited partnership agreement of the Issuer, and (iii) recommended that the Board approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Based upon such recommendation, the Board has, acting in good faith unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are fair and reasonable to, and in the best interests of the Issuer and the holders of the outstanding SEP Common Units (other than Enbridge and its affiliates), (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (iii) resolved to recommend that the limited partners of the Issuer approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to the limited partners for their approval by written consent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Enbridge and EUSI have irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to deliver, or cause to be delivered, a written consent (the Written Consent), covering all of the SEP Common Units they beneficially own, approving the Merger, Merger Agreement and any actions required in furtherance thereof. The Written Consent will be delivered within

two business days after the Registration Statement (as defined below) becomes effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). As of August 22, 2018, Enbridge and EUSI beneficially owned 402,989,862 SEP Common Units, representing approximately 83.1% of the total SEP Common Units issued and outstanding. The approval of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding SEP Common Units.

The completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (i) receipt of approval of the Merger Agreement by written consent of the limited partners of the Issuer holding SEP Common Units constituting at least a majority of the outstanding SEP Common Units entitled to vote, (ii) the Enbridge Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger having been approved for listing on the NYSE and the TSX, subject to official notice of issuance, (iii) the absence of any governmental order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated thereby, and (iv) Enbridges registration statement on Form S-4 (the Registration Statement) having become effective under the Securities Act. The obligation of each party to the Merger Agreement to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the closing (subject to customary materiality qualifiers), the performance by the other parties of all obligations under the Merger Agreement at or prior to closing and receipt of an officers certificate evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.

Enbridge, EUSI, Merger Sub, the Issuer and SEP GP have made customary representations and warranties, and agreed to customary covenants, in the Merger Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, Enbridge and the Issuer have each agreed, among other things, to covenants relating to the conduct of their respective businesses during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights that may be exercised by either Enbridge or the Issuer, including in the event that (i) both parties agree by mutual written consent duly authorized by the Conflicts Committee on behalf of the Issuer and the Enbridge board of directors to terminate the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Merger is not consummated by February 25, 2019, or (iii) any order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger having become final and non-appealable. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Enbridge may be required to reimburse the Issuer for its transaction expenses in an amount not to exceed $4 million.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Enbridges Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018 and Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

The information previously provided in response to this Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
