“TPG Advisors VII holds 100 shares of common stock, and has appointed one of the two board members, of Enfield Holdings Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Enfield Holdings Advisors”), which is the general partner of Enfield Holdings, which directly holds 58,306,274 Series B Preferred Units. Because of the relationship of TPG Advisors VII to Enfield Holdings, TPG Advisors VII may be deemed to beneficially own the Series B Preferred Units.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

This Amendment amends and restates the final two paragraphs of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as set forth below:

“Support Agreement

On October 21, 2018, EnLink Midstream, LLC (“ENLC”), EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC, the managing member of ENLC (the “Manager”), NOLA Merger Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ENLC (“Merger Sub”), the Issuer and the EnLink General Partner entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ENLC (the “Merger”).

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Enfield Holdings, TPG VII Management, LLC (“TPG VII Management”), WSEP Egypt Holdings, LP (“WSEP”), WSIP Egypt Holdings, LP (“WSIP” and, together with WSEP, the “GS Investors” and, together with Enfield Holdings and TPG VII Management, the “Enfield Parties”), and the Partnership entered into a Support Agreement (the “Series B Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Enfield Holdings agreed to vote its Series B Preferred Units in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and granted an irrevocable proxy with respect to any action taken with respect to approval of the Merger Agreement to the chief executive officer of the EnLink General Partner and any other person designated by the Partnership Conflicts Committee (as defined below). Additionally, the Series B Support Agreement prohibits Enfield Holdings from transferring any of the Series B Preferred Units and Common Units it holds unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the Series B Support Agreement. The Series B Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms, (ii) the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (iii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to the Series B Support Agreement, with, in the case of the Issuer, the approval of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the EnLink General Partner (the “Partnership Conflicts Committee”), and (iv) a “Recommendation Change” under the Merger Agreement by the Partnership Conflicts Committee.

Preferred Restructuring Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Enfield Parties, ENLC, the Manager, the Issuer and the EnLink General Partner (ENLC, the Manager, the Issuer and the EnLink General Partner collectively referred to as the “EnLink Parties”) entered into a Preferred Restructuring Agreement (the “Preferred Restructuring Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Enfield Holdings and the EnLink Parties agreed that (i) each Series B Preferred Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time,

continue to be issued and outstanding and represent a limited partner interest in the Issuer, with terms and conditions modified in accordance with the Amended Issuer LPA (as defined below), including exchangeability of the Series B Preferred Units, under certain conditions, into ENLC Common Units instead of Common Units, subject to the election of the Issuer to instead redeem for cash any such exchanged Series B Preferred Units, and no additional consideration will be delivered to any holder of Series B Preferred Units in respect of the Merger and the Preferred Restructuring Agreement and (ii) ENLC will issue to Enfield Holdings, for no additional consideration, a new class of non-economic common units representing limited liability company interests in ENLC (the “Class C Common Units”) equal to the number of Series B Preferred Units held by Enfield Holdings immediately following the Effective Time in order to provide Enfield Holdings with certain voting rights at ENLC in accordance with the Amended Operating Agreement (as defined below). For each additional Series B Preferred Unit issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Amended Issuer LPA (as defined below), ENLC will issue an additional Class C Common Unit to the applicable holder of such Series B Unit pursuant to the Amended Operating Agreement.

In connection with such treatment of the Series B Preferred Units, the EnLink Parties and the Enfield Parties agreed that (i) the EnLink General Partner will cause the Ninth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer, dated as of September 21, 2017, as amended, to be amended and restated pursuant to a form of the Tenth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer that is attached as an exhibit to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement (the “Amended Issuer LPA”), and (ii) the Manager will cause the First Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Parent, dated as of March 7, 2014, to be amended and restated pursuant to a form of the Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of ENLC that is attached as an exhibit to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement (the “Amended Operating Agreement”), in each case to, among other things, reflect the previously described modifications to the terms of the Series B Preferred Units and the issuance of the Class C Common Units.

In addition, pursuant to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, (i) ENLC has agreed to execute and deliver, as of the Effective Time, an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with Enfield Holdings in a form that is attached to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, pursuant to which the Registration Rights Agreement will be amended and restated in its entirety in order to, among other things, provide Enfield Holdings with certain registration rights with respect to the ENLC Common Units that are issuable upon exchange of the Series B Preferred Units, (ii) the Manager and ENLC have agreed to execute and deliver, as of the Effective Time, an Amended and Restated Board Representation Agreement with TPG VII Management in a form that is attached to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, pursuant to which the Board Representation Agreement will be amended and restated in its entirety, in order to, among other things, provide TPG VII Management with the right to appoint one member of the Board of Directors of the Manager (“Manager Board”), and (iii) the Manager, ENLC, and the GS Investors have agreed to execute and deliver, as of the Effective Time, an Amended and Restated Board Information Rights Letter Agreement in a form that is attached to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, pursuant to which that certain Board Information Rights Letter Agreement, dated January 6, 2016, by and among the Issuer, the EnLink General Partner, EnLink Midstream, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ENLC, and the GS Investors will be amended and restated in its entirety, in order to provide the GS Investors certain information rights with respect to materials provided to the Manager Board.

The Preferred Restructuring Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms, (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to the Preferred Restructuring Agreement, (iii) the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Units into Common Units, and (iv) certain amendments to the Merger Agreement.

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any of the persons listed in Schedule I hereto, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. As a result of these activities, one or more of the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of the Issuer as a means of enhancing unitholder value.
