NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Issues $500 Million of Long Term Debt
CALGARY, ALBERTA — November 20, 2008 — Enbridge Inc. (TSX: ENB, NYSE:ENB) today announced
that its wholly owned subsidiary Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (EPI) has completed a $300 million 10-year
term debt issuance. The issuance carries a 6.62% coupon and was placed with 30 institutional
investors.
This follows a $200 million five-year term debt issuance by Enbridge Gas Distribution that was
completed on November 12, 2008. This debt carries a coupon of 5.57% and was placed with 32
institutional investors.
“Our ability to complete these issuances in these uncertain capital markets and the low coupons
associated with the debt, highlight Enbridge’s financial strength,” said J. Richard Bird, Executive
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Development, Enbridge Inc., “We continue to
enjoy strong investment grade credit ratings, supported by a sound balance sheet with debt to
capital at the lower end of our target range.
“An adequate supply of bank liquidity is another important plank supporting our financial strength
and flexibility. After closing our investment in Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P., we will have more
than $3 billion of unutilized credit facilities which will enable us to bridge through any period
of capital market disruption. This level of liquidity is sufficient to more than absorb the
capital markets funding requirements of our commercially secured development projects over the next
five years,” noted Mr. Bird.
