| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
Effective January 1, 2020, Dan Duncan LLC, the sole member of the general partner (the “General Partner”) of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) elected a new slate of individuals together constituting the entire board of directors (the “Board”) of the General Partner. The new slate of directors includes the following existing members of the Board: Richard H. Bachmann, Carin M. Barth, Murray E. Brasseux, W. Randall Fowler, James T. Hackett, William C. Montgomery, John R. Rutherford, Richard S. Snell, A. James Teague, Harry P. Weitzel and Randa Duncan Williams.
As previously disclosed, the Board has adopted the “Enterprise Products Partners L.P. Governance Guidelines” (the “Governance Guidelines”), which address several matters regarding the governance of the Partnership and the General Partner, including qualifications for directors. The Governance Guidelines provide that a non-management director may not stand for election to the Board after the end of the calendar year during which he or she reaches 80 years of age (subject to limited exceptions). As a consequence, Charles E. McMahen, who reached 80 years of age during 2019 (and who served as a non-management director prior to January 1, 2020), was not reelected to the Board. Mr. McMahen’s departure did not result from any disagreement with the Partnership, the General Partner or its management on any matter relating to the Partnership’s business operations, policies or practices.
Ms. Williams will continue to serve as the non-executive Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Bachmann will continue to serve as the non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board. In addition, Larry J. Casey, Ralph S. Cunningham and Edwin E. Smith will continue to serve as advisory directors, and O. S. Andras will continue to serve as an honorary director. Advisory directors and honorary directors are not entitled to vote as directors on any matters.
Effective January 1, 2020, in connection with the election of the new Board, the Audit and Conflicts Committee, Governance Committee and Capital Projects Committee of the Board consist of:
| Audit and Conflicts Committee |
Governance Committee |
Capital Projects Committee | ||
| William C. Montgomery – Chairman Murray E. Brasseux John R. Rutherford Richard S. Snell |
James T. Hackett – Chairman Carin M. Barth Randa Duncan Williams |
