This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D updates the information relating to the current beneficial owners and amends Items 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D filed by Enbridge Inc., IPL System Inc., Enbridge Pipelines Inc. and Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2002 (the Original Schedule 13D), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed by Enbridge Inc. (Enbridge), Enbridge US Holdings Inc. (EUSHI), Enbridge (U.S.) Inc. (EUSI), and Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. (EECI and, together with Enbridge, EUSHI and EUSI, the Reporting Persons) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2016, Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2017, Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2018 and Amendment No. 4 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2018.
Item 2. | Identity and Background |
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:
On December 20, 2018, following the consummation of, and as a result of, the Merger (as defined below), the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons (collectively, the Listed Persons) ceased to beneficially own any EEQ Listed Shares (as defined below) of the Issuer. To the Reporting Persons knowledge, none of the Listed Persons has been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:
On December 20, 2018, Winter Acquisition Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge (Merger Sub), merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving entity and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge (the Merger) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 17, 2018 (the Merger Agreement), by and among the Issuer, Enbridge, Merger Sub, and, solely for the purposes of Article I, Section 2.4 and Article X, EECI.
As a result of the Merger, each Listed Share of the Issuer representing limited liability company interests in the Issuer (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. As a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons own all of the outstanding EEQ Listed Shares.
The EEQ Listed Shares will be removed from listing and registration from the New York Stock Exchange.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:
As a result of the Merger described in Item 4 (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference), the Reporting Persons own all of the outstanding EEQ Listed Shares. Because the registration of the EEQ Listed Shares will be terminated, EEQ Listed Shares held by Enbridge and its subsidiaries will no longer be subject to reporting under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Consequently, this Amendment No. 5 to the Original Schedule 13D constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph:
The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
On December 20, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, EECI, as the sole voting shareholder of the Issuer, executed Amendment No. 3 to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company of the Issuer (the LLCA Amendment), which became effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. The LLCA Amendment enfranchises the EEQ Listed Shares, with each EEQ Listed Share entitled to one vote per share, by providing that the holders of the EEQ Listed Shares would be entitled to vote with the holders of the Voting Shares as a single class on certain matters, including the election or removal of directors and any further amendments of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Issuer.
The above description of the LPA Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified entirely by, the full text of the LPA Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 20, 2018, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. | Material to Be Filed as Exhibits |
The information previously provided in response to this Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:
(e) | Amendment No. 3, dated as of December 20, 2018, to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Enbridge Energy Management, L.L.C., dated as of October 17, 2002 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to Enbridge Energy Management, L.L.C.s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-31383) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2018. |
