Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     (d) Effective August 2, 2010, Dan Duncan LLC (“DDLLC”), the sole member of EPE Holdings, LLC (the “Company”), elected B. W. “Bill” Waycaster to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), which is the general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (the “Partnership”). Mr. Waycaster has also been appointed to the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of the Board.

     Mr. Waycaster, age 71, has served as a principal manager of family investments since his retirement in 2003. Prior to retiring, Mr. Waycaster served as president and chief executive officer of the general partner of Texas Petrochemicals LP from 1992 to April of 2003, following a 27-year career with The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”). Texas Petrochemicals LP and its affiliates filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in July 2003. At Dow, Mr. Waycaster held numerous executive and managerial positions, including vice president of Business and Asset Management when he oversaw a $5-billion operation that included basic petrochemicals, energy and feedstock supply, sales and marketing, product storage and distribution, supply chain management, and strategic planning. DDLLC and the Board determined that Mr. Waycaster’s more than 40 years of experience in the hydrocarbon processing industry and knowledge of the petrochemical and refining sectors qualify him to serve as a director of the Company, and that he will add further independent oversight to the Board along with his additional duties serving as a member of the Board’s Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee.
