On February 13, 2015, Enterprise and Oiltanking jointly announced the completion of Enterprise’s acquisition of Oiltanking. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 11, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Enterprise, Enterprise GP, EPOT MergerCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise (“MergerCo”), Oiltanking and Oiltanking GP, Oiltanking agreed to merge with MergerCo with Oiltanking surviving the merger (the “Merger”).
