+Added: As described in the Amended Partnership Agreement, key terms of the preferred units include the following:
+Added: With respect to distribution and liquidation rights, the preferred units rank senior to the Partnership’s common units.
+Added: Preferred units held by persons other than the Partnership, its subsidiaries and its affiliates generally will vote on an as-converted basis with the Partnership’s common units and have certain class voting rights with respect to certain protective matters.
+Added: Holders of the preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative quarterly distributions at a rate of 7.25 % per annum.
+Added: The Partnership is prohibited from paying distributions on its common units unless full cumulative distributions on the preferred units are paid or set aside for payment.

+Added: The exchange by OTA of its common units for PIK-eligible preferred units enables the Partnership to more effectively manage its consolidated cash balances.
+Added: Subject to certain limitations, each preferred unitholder may elect to convert its preferred units on or after September 30, 2025 into a number of the Partnership’s common units equal to (a) the number of preferred units to be converted multiplied by (b) the quotient of (i) $ 1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid distributions per preferred unit, divided by (ii) 92.5 % of the volume-weighted average price of the Partnership’s common units at the time of conversion (as defined in the underlying agreements).
+Added: In addition, each preferred unitholder may convert its preferred units into common units if EPO’s senior notes cease to have an investment grade rating or a Change of Control (as defined in the Amended Partnership Agreement) occurs, in each case based on the conversion ratio specified in the Amended Partnership Agreement.
+Added: The Partnership may elect to redeem the preferred units for cash, in whole or in part, based on a redemption price outlined in the following schedule, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions at the redemption date:
+Added: $ 1,100 per preferred unit from September 30, 2020 through September 29, 2022;

+Added: The Partnership has agreed to prepare and file a registration statement that would permit or otherwise facilitate the public resale of any common units resulting from the conversion of the preferred units to common units.
+Added: Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020 presents the capital accounts of the third-party and related party purchasers of the preferred units as mezzanine equity since the terms of the preferred units allow for cash redemption by the holders in a Change of Control event, without regard to the likelihood of such an event.

OTA Deferred Tax Liability
−Removed: On March 5, 2020, we settled the Liquidity Option (see Note 8) and assumed OTA’s deferred tax liability, which reflects the outside basis difference of OTA in the 54,807,352 EPD common units it received in October 2014.
+Added: On March 5, 2020, the Partnership settled its obligations under the Liquidity Option Agreement (see Note 8) and indirectly assumed OTA’s deferred tax liability, which reflects OTA’s outside basis difference in the limited partner interests it received from the Partnership in October 2014.
Upon settlement of the Liquidity Option, the Liquidity Option liability was effectively replaced by the deferred tax liability of OTA calculated in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes .
At March 5, 2020, the Liquidity Option liability amount was $ 511.9 million.
−Removed: Since the book value of the Liquidity Option liability exceeded OTA’s estimated deferred tax liability of $ 439.7 million on that date, we recognized a non-cash benefit in earnings of $ 72.2 million, which is reflected in the “Benefit from (provision for) income tax” line on our Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 .
−Removed: The deferred tax liability of OTA is subject to fluctuation due to changes in the market value of the EPD common units it owns relative to its underlying tax basis in the units.
−Removed: For example, if the market price of EPD common units increases between reporting dates, we expect to recognize deferred income tax expense in connection with an anticipated increase in OTA’s deferred tax liability.
−Removed: Conversely, if the market price of EPD common units decreases between reporting dates, we expect to recognize a deferred income tax benefit in connection with an anticipated decrease in OTA’s deferred tax liability.
−Removed: The following table presents changes in OTA’s deferred tax liability since the settlement date of March 5, 2020 to June 30, 2020:
−Removed: Deferred tax liability at March 5, 2020
−Removed: Impact of change in fair value of units on deferred tax liability:
−Removed: Change in fair value of 54,807,352 EPD common units held by OTA (1)
−Removed: Multiplied by estimated blended federal and state tax rate
−Removed: Other, including interim allocations of taxable income
−Removed: Deferred tax liability at June 30, 2020
−Removed: The market price of EPD common units declined from $ 23.67 per unit at March 5, 2020 (settlement date of the Liquidity Option) to $ 18.17 per unit on June 30, 2020.
−Removed: As presented in the preceding table, OTA recognized a net deferred income tax benefit of $ 64.5 million through June 30, 2020 primarily due to a decrease in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 5, 2020.
−Removed: With respect to the second quarter of 2020, OTA recognized deferred income tax expense of $ 50.5 million primarily due to an increase in the market value of its investment in EPD common units since March 31, 2020.
−Removed: The market price of EPD common units increased from $ 14.30 per unit at March 31, 2020 to $ 18.17 per unit on June 30, 2020.
−Removed: In total, earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflect a net $ 136.7 million of deferred income tax benefit attributable to OTA.
+Added: Since the book value of the Liquidity Option liability exceeded OTA’s estimated deferred tax liability of $ 439.7 million on that date, we recognized a non-cash benefit in earnings of $ 72.2 million, which is reflected in the “Benefit from (provision for) income tax” line on our Unaudited Condensed Statement of Consolidated Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 .
+Added: Subsequent to March 5, 2020 and through September 30, 2020, OTA recognized an additional net, non-cash deferred income tax benefit of $ 85.8 million due to a decrease in the outside basis difference of its investment in the Partnership, which in turn was driven by a decline in the market price of Partnership common units since March 5, 2020.
+Added: In total, earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflect $ 21.3 million and $ 158.0 million, respectively, of net deferred income tax benefit attributable to OTA.
+Added: On September 30, 2020, OTA exchanged the Partnership common units it owned for non-publicly traded preferred units having a stated value of $ 1,000 per unit (see Note 8).
+Added: As a result and beginning September 30, 2020, OTA’s deferred tax liability no longer fluctuates due to market price changes in the Partnership’s common units.
+Added: Our subsidiary OTA is a corporation for U.S.
+Added: federal income tax purposes, and the exchange of common units for preferred units did not constitute a taxable transaction for OTA.
