Enterprise Products Prevails in Dallas Court of Appeals

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) today announced the
company has prevailed in its appeal against Energy Transfer Partners.
This appeal stems from a 2014 Dallas jury verdict in a lawsuit filed by
Energy Transfer over a proposed pipeline project that was cancelled due
to a lack of customer support. This case has been a long, hard battle
and Enterprise is grateful to the Fifth Court of Appeals for their hard
work.

In April 2011, Enterprise and Energy Transfer signed a series of
agreements disclaiming any partnership or joint venture absent executed
definitive documents and board approvals of the two companies.
Definitive agreements were never executed and board approval was never
obtained. The parties signed these disclaiming agreements precisely to
avoid the type of lawsuit brought here.

Enterprise management is grateful that the Dallas Court of Appeals
correctly reaffirmed the importance of written contracts. “This case
needed decisive action because it had the potential to stand as one of
the worst for business in Texas since the Texaco v. Pennzoil
decision from the 1980s,” said Enterprise appellate lawyer David E.
Keltner. “Sophisticated parties need the right to rely on written
contracts. Partnership by ambush is a bad public policy and goes against
the freedom to contract guaranteed by the Texas Constitution. The
business world breathed a sigh of relief today when ‘partnership by
ambush’ was ruled out of bounds in Texas.”
