Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On April 29, 2009, TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (“TEPPCO”) announced that it had received a proposal on March 9, 2009 from Enterprise Products Partners, L.P. (“Enterprise”), to acquire all of the outstanding partnership interests of TEPPCO.  The proposed consideration for the limited partner units of TEPPCO consisted of 1.043 Enterprise common units and $1.00 in cash for each TEPPCO unit.  In order to evaluate the proposed acquisition by Enterprise, the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of TEPPCO’s general partner, Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC, formed a special committee consisting of Donald H. Daigle, Irvin Toole, Jr. and Duke R. Ligon (the “Special Committee”).  After considering Enterprise’s proposal with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, the Special Committee unanimously concluded that it did not support the proposal and advised Enterprise of its decision.  The Special Committee informed Enterprise that it remained willing to consider a revised proposal.

 

The general partners of both TEPPCO and Enterprise are owned by Enterprise GP Holdings, L.P., which also owns approximately 4.2% and 3.0%, respectively, of the outstanding limited partner units of TEPPCO and Enterprise.

 

TEPPCO does not intend to comment further on discussions with Enterprise unless and until a definitive agreement is reached and gives no assurance that any such agreement will be executed or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

 

A copy of the news release relating to this disclosure is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
