Legal Notice
This presentation includes forward-looking statements and projections, which are statements that do not relate strictly to historical
or current facts. These statements frequently use the following words, variations thereon or comparable terminology: “anticipate,”
“believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “position,” “projection,” “should,” “strategy,” “target”,
“will” and similar words. Although Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) believes that such forward-looking statements are
reasonable based on currently available information, such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not
guarantees of performance. Future actions, conditions or events and future results of operations may differ materially from those
expressed in these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond the Partnership’s ability
to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include: (1)
changes in the demand for or the supply of, forecast data for, and price trends related to crude oil, liquid petroleum, natural gas and
NGLs, including the rate of development of the Alberta Oil Sands; (2) the Partnership’s ability to successfully complete and finance
expansion projects; (3) the effects of competition, in particular, by other pipeline systems; (4) shut-downs or cutbacks at the Partnership’s
facilities or refineries, petrochemical plants, utilities or other businesses for which the Partnership transports products or to whom the
Partnership sells products; (5) hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance, including those related to Line 6B
and any additional fines and penalties assessed in connection with the crude oil release on that line; (6) changes in or challenges to the
Partnership’s tariff rates; (7) changes in laws or regulations to which the Partnership is subject, including compliance with environmental
and operational safety regulations that may increase costs of system integrity testing and maintenance; and (8) permitting at federal,
state and local levels in regards to the construction of new assets.
Forward-looking statements regarding “drop-down” growth opportunities from Enbridge Inc. are further qualified by the fact that
Enbridge Inc. is under no obligation to offer to sell us interests in its U.S. projects, and we are under no obligation to buy any such
interests. Similarly, any forward-looking statements regarding potential “drop-down” transactions of interests in Midcoast Operating to
Midcoast Energy Partners are further qualified by the fact that we are under no obligation to sell to Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P. any
such interests, and Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P. is under no obligation to buy any such interests. As a result, we do not know when or
if any such transactions will occur.
The Partnership’s forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to operating performance,
regulatory parameters, project approval and support, weather, economic conditions, interest rates and commodity prices, including but
not limited to those discussed more extensively in our filings with the U.S. securities regulators. The effect of any one risk, uncertainty or
factor on any particular forward looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are independent and our future course of
action depends on management’s assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by law, we
assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. Reference should also be made to the Partnership’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for additional factors that may affect results. These
filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s web site (www.sec.gov) and at the Partnership’s web site.
