On January 1, 2019, the previously approved OEB application to amalgamate EGD and Union Gas took effect and the amalgamated company continued as EGI. Refer to Note 7 - Regulatory Matters for further discussion.

On January 15, 2019, Enbridge closed the acquisition of 100% of pipeline and tankage infrastructure assets at the Cheecham tank farm for a purchase price of $265 million. These assets were acquired from Athabasca Oil Corporation and were associated with the Leismer SAGD oil sands assets, and are included in our Liquids Pipelines segment.

Our wholly-owned subsidiaries, EEP and SEP (the Partnerships), commenced solicitations to holders of certain of the Partnerships' senior unsecured notes (the Notes) to amend (the Amendments) the respective indentures governing the Notes. The purpose of the consent solicitations is to modify the reporting covenant contained in the indentures governing the respective Notes to provide that, in the event Enbridge guarantees a series of such Notes, then in lieu of the respective Partnership's current reporting obligations, Enbridge would be subject to the reporting obligations under such indenture similar to those in the indenture governing Enbridge's U.S. dollar denominated senior notes. The Amendments will also add provisions, in the event Enbridge guarantees a series of Notes, implementing the unconditional guarantee of such series of Notes by Enbridge.

On January 18, 2019, the Partnerships received the requisite consents from the holders of the majority in principal amount of each series of outstanding Notes (collectively, the "Consenting EEP and SEP Notes"). On January 22, 2019, each Partnership entered into supplemental indentures to effect the proposed amendments described in the consent solicitation statement dated January 8, 2019 (the "Statement") with respect to each series of the Consenting EEP and SEP Notes and, together with Enbridge, entered into supplemental indentures to implement the unconditional guarantee of each series of Consenting EEP and SEP Notes by Enbridge as described in the Statement.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Statement, each Partnership made a cash payment of $1.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of a series of its Notes to each holder of record of that series of Notes who delivered (and did not revoke) a consent to the applicable Amendments. The supplemental indentures that were executed in connection with the completion of the consent solicitations will bind all holders of the Consenting EEP and SEP Notes.
