• 6.20% senior unsecured notes due 2018;

The Maximum Tender Offer was made pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated June 27, 2017 (the Offer to Purchase).

The applicable Reference Yield, Repurchase Yield and Total Consideration (as defined below) for the principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase are detailed in the table below.

In addition to the applicable total consideration specified in the table above (the Total Consideration) for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for payment, Spectra Capital will pay accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, July 13, 2017, the expected settlement date, for the Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date in the Maximum Tender Offer. The applicable Total Consideration was calculated in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Note (the Fixed Spread) specified in the table above plus the applicable yield to maturity based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above at 11:00 a.m. New York City time on July 12, 2017.

Because the Maximum Tender Offer has been fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Date, holders who tender Notes after the Early Tender Date are not expected to have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. Any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date are expected to be returned to the holders thereof as described in the Offer to Purchase.

The withdrawal deadline for the Maximum Tender Offer was 5:00 p.m. New York City time on July 11, 2017 (the Withdrawal Deadline) and has not been extended. Accordingly, previously tendered Notes and Notes tendered after the Withdrawal Deadline may not be withdrawn, subject to applicable law.

Spectra Capital plans to fund the Maximum Tender Offer with part of the proceeds from the issuance of Enbridge’s 2.90% Senior Notes due 2022 and Enbridge’s 3.70% Senior Notes due 2027, which was completed on July 7, 2017.
