____________________________
(1)The authorized amount includes repurchases of common units held by GIP. Refer to “Note 4—Related Party Transactions” for more information on our ENLC common unit repurchase agreement with GIP.

Repurchases under the common unit repurchase program will be made, in accordance with applicable securities laws, from time to time in open market or private transactions and may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The repurchases will depend on market conditions and may be discontinued at any time.
The following table summarizes our ENLC common unit repurchase activity for the periods presented (in millions, except for unit amounts):

____________________________
(1)The units repurchased in each quarter represent GIP’s pro rata share of the aggregate number of common units repurchased by us under our common unit repurchase program during the prior quarter.
(2)The average price paid per common unit excludes excise tax on common unit repurchases.
(3)The per unit price we paid to GIP in each quarter was the average per unit price paid by us for publicly held ENLC common units repurchased in the prior quarter, less broker commissions.

Additionally, on October 2, 2024, we repurchased 1,562,279 ENLC common units held by GIP at an aggregate cost of $20.4 million, or an average of $13.07 per common unit. These units represented GIP’s pro rata share of the aggregate number of common units repurchased by us during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The per unit price we paid to GIP was the same as the average per unit price paid by us for publicly held ENLC common units repurchased during the same period, less broker commissions, which were not paid with respect to the ENLC common units held by GIP. As of September 30, 2024, $20.4 million is classified as “Other current liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets related to our obligation to repurchase our common units from GIP. See “Note 4—Related Party Transactions” for additional information relating to the GIP repurchase agreement.

All outstanding units were included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit and weighted based on the number of days such units were outstanding during the period presented.
