Key Details

• Date filed: September 9, 2026 (Form 8-K).
• Transaction: Definitive agreement to acquire Tallgrass Energy’s crude oil transportation, gathering, storage and terminaling assets through a wholly‑owned subsidiary.
• Disclosure: News release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and standard forward‑looking statement cautionary language included.
• Forward‑looking topics noted: timing and closing of the deal, financing plans (including an equity offering), projected synergies, and potential accretion to distributable cash flow per share.

Why It Matters

• The deal expands Enbridge’s crude oil infrastructure footprint (transportation, gathering, storage, terminaling), which could affect future throughput, revenues and cash flows if completed.
• Financing and timing details were not specified in the 8‑K; Enbridge flagged an equity offering and other forward‑looking items, so investors should watch for subsequent filings (e.g., definitive transaction agreements, transaction close, purchase price and financing terms) for material financial impacts.
• As with all forward‑looking statements, completion and benefits are subject to conditions, approvals and risks disclosed in the filing.
