Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of each of the Original Schedule 13D, Duncan Trustee 13D, the Estate 13D and the
Enterprise Products 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b) As set forth herein, Randa Duncan Williams may be deemed to have beneficial
ownership of the 34,020,190 Common Units representing approximately 15.3% of the outstanding Common
Units, including Common Units deemed beneficially owned through her indirect influence as one of
three voting trustees controlling DD LLC or as one of three independent co-executors of the Estate.
Ms. Williams has shared voting and dispositive power over the 34,020,190 Units consisting of (i)
the 33,826,090 Common Units beneficially owned by DD LLC, by virtue of her status as one of the DD
LLC Trustees and (ii) the 194,100 Common Units beneficially owned by the Estate, by virtue of her
status as one of the independent co-executors of the Estate. Ms. Williams disclaims beneficial
ownership of the Common Units beneficially owned by the DD LLC Trustees and the Estate except to
the extent of her voting and dispositive interests in such Common Units.
As set forth herein, pursuant to the DD LLC Trust Agreement, the DD LLC Trustees have shared
voting and dispositive power over the 33,826,090 Common Units beneficially owned by DD LLC,
representing approximately 15.2% of the outstanding Common Units. Except as set forth in the DD LLC
Trust Agreement, voting with respect to membership interests of DD LLC by the DD LLC Trustees is by
majority vote.
As set forth herein, the Estate and the Executors collectively have beneficial ownership over
194,100 Common Units beneficially owned by the Estate, representing less than 1% of the outstanding
Common Units. The Common Units beneficially owned and voting and dispositive power related to these
Common Units consists of (i) sole voting and dispositive power over the 14,000 Common Units owned
directly by the Estate and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power over the 180,100 Common Units
owned directly by DD Securities LLC, of which the Estate is the sole member.
The Estate is also the beneficial owner of 50.427% of the voting stock of EPCO held of record
collectively by the voting trustees (the EPCO Trustees) of the EPCO, Inc. Voting Trust (the
EPCO Voting Trust) pursuant to the EPCO, Inc. Voting Trust Agreement, by and among EPCO,
Inc., Dan L. Duncan as the shareholder and Dan L. Duncan as the initial voting trustee (the
EPCO Trust Agreement). The EPCO Trustees are voting trustees that collectively hold
record ownership of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, the only class of
capital stock with voting rights (the Class A Common Stock), in EPCO, on behalf of the
Estate as the economic owner succeeding Dan L. Duncan. The voting trustees under the EPCO Trust
Agreement consist of up to three voting trustees. The current EPCO Trustees are: (1) Ms. Williams;
(2) Dr. Cunningham; and (3) Mr. Bachmann. The EPCO Trustees collectively obtained record ownership
of the Class A Common Stock of EPCO on March 29, 2010 as a result of the passing of Dan L. Duncan.
The EPCO Trustees serve in such capacity without compensation, but they are entitled to incur
reasonable charges and expense deemed necessary and proper for administering the EPCO Trust
Agreement and to reimbursement and indemnification. The EPCO Trust Agreement is governed by Texas
law. EPCO Holdings, Inc. (EPCO Holdings) is a wholly owned subsidiary of EPCO. Duncan
Family Interests, Inc. (DFI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of EPCO Holdings. DFI owns
30.9% of the limited partner interests in EPD. EPD currently beneficially owns 33,826,090 Common
Units.
Enterprise ETE holds directly 33,826,090 Common Units. EPO is the sole member of
Enterprise ETE. EPO is owed 99.999% by EPD and 0.001% by OLPGP, which is EPOs sole manager. EPD
owns all of the equity interests in OLPGP. EPD GP is the general partner of EPD. DD LLC owns 100%
of the membership interests in, and is the sole member of EPD GP. DD LLC also owns 100% of the
membership interests in, and is a 4% limited partner of DFI GP Holdings. The Estate is the economic
owner of the member interests in DD LLC. Enterprise ETE
currently owns 33,826,090 Common Units. Enterprise ETE has no independent operations, and its
current principal functions are to directly hold equity interests in the Issuer.
14
The aforementioned ownership amounts of Common Units by the Reporting Persons are as of
July 11, 2011, our most recent practicable date for this filing on Schedule 13D. The percentage
ownership amounts are based on the 222,972,708 Common Units reported by the Issuer as outstanding
as of May 2, 2011.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein or as otherwise reported by the Reporting Persons on
Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in Common Units in the
past 60 days.
(d) No person other than as set forth in the response to this Item 5 has the right to receive

transfer of, the Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e) Not applicable.
