Note 10.  Equity and Distributions

Partners' equity reflects the various classes of limited partner interests (i.e., common units, including restricted common units) that we have outstanding.  The following table summarizes changes in the number of Enterprise's outstanding units since December 31, 2013:

We may issue additional equity or debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity and capital spending requirements.  We have a universal shelf registration statement (the "2013 Shelf") on file with the SEC.  The 2013 Shelf allows Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and EPO (on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.  EPO utilized the 2013 Shelf to issue $2.0 billion of senior notes in February 2014 (see Note 9).

We have a registration statement on file with the SEC covering the issuance of up to $1.25 billion of our common units in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings.  Pursuant to this "at-the-market" program, we may sell common units under an equity distribution agreement between Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and certain broker-dealers from time-to-time by means of ordinary brokers' transactions through the NYSE at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed to with the broker-dealer parties to the agreement.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we sold 795,167 common units under the "at-the-market" program for aggregate gross proceeds of $58.3 million, resulting in net cash proceeds of $57.7 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold 3,766,557 common units under the program for aggregate gross proceeds of $228.5 million. After taking into account applicable costs, these transactions resulted in net cash proceeds of $226.5 million, of which $214.2 million was received as of June 30, 2013.  After taking into account the aggregate sale price of common units sold under our at-the-market program through June 30, 2014, we have the capacity to issue additional common units under this program up to an aggregate sales price of $1.19 billion.

We also have registration statements on file with the SEC collectively authorizing the issuance of up to 70,000,000 of our common units in connection with a distribution reinvestment plan (or "DRIP").  We issued 2,445,439 common units under our DRIP during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which generated net cash proceeds of $160.4 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we issued 2,359,089 common units, which generated net cash proceeds of $129.8 million.  After taking into account the number of common units issued under the DRIP through June 30, 2014, we have the capacity to issue an additional 16,035,439 common units under this plan.

In January 2014, privately held affiliates of EPCO expressed their willingness to consider purchasing through the DRIP a total of $100 million of our common units during 2014.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, these EPCO affiliates reinvested $50.0 million, resulting in the issuance of 761,487 common units under our DRIP (this amount being a component of the total common units issued under the DRIP for the six months ended June 30, 2014).  On August 7, 2014, these EPCO affiliates reinvested an additional $25 million through the DRIP.

In addition to the DRIP, we have registration statements on file with the SEC authorizing the issuance of up to 4,000,000 of our common units in connection with an employee unit purchase plan (or "EUPP").  We issued 74,530 common units under our EUPP during the six months ended June 30, 2014, which generated net cash proceeds of $5.2 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we issued 81,695 common units, which generated net cash proceeds of $4.8 million.  After taking into account the number of common units issued under the EUPP through June 30, 2014, we may issue an additional 3,638,914 common units under this plan.

The net cash proceeds we received from the issuance of common units during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were used to temporarily reduce amounts outstanding under EPO's commercial paper program and for general company purposes.
Two-for-One Split of Limited Partner Units

On July 15, 2014, we announced that our general partner approved a two-for-one split of our common units.  The common unit split will be accomplished by distributing one additional common unit for each common unit outstanding as of the close of business on August 14, 2014.  See Note 18 for additional information regarding this subsequent event.

As noted previously, on July 15, 2014, we announced that our general partner approved a two-for-one common unit split that will be completed on August 21, 2014 (see Note 18).  The common unit split will reduce declared future distributions per common unit (e.g., a $0.72 per unit distribution rate will become a $0.36 per unit distribution rate), but not the total amount of distributions paid since the number of common units outstanding will increase proportionally (i.e., the number of common units outstanding will double).

In November 2010, we completed our merger with Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (the "Holdings Merger").  In connection with the Holdings Merger, a privately held affiliate of EPCO agreed to temporarily waive the regular quarterly cash distributions it would otherwise receive from us with respect to a certain number of our common units it owns (the "Designated Units"). Distributions paid during 2014 exclude 22,560,000 Designated Units.  Distributions to be paid, if any, during 2015 will exclude 17,690,000 Designated Units.
