Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: EEP) is raising some fresh capital. The partnership has priced an 8 million common unit secondary offering at $28.20 per unit in a move that will generate net proceeds of close to $218 million.

As for the use of funds, the “use of proceeds” indicated funding a portion of its capital expansion projects, for general corporate purposes, or any combination of such purposes.

Morgan Stanley, BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, UBS, and Wells Fargo are listed as the joint book-running managers for the offering. The underwriters have been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.2 million units to cover any over-allotments.

The selling is coming along with the market this morning, but the selling is deeper and wider than the buyers are getting. The $28.20 per unit price compares to a $27.50 price indication this morning. The partnership closed at $29.09 yesterday and shares were above $29.50 at one point yesterday.

The $218 million size compares to a market cap of $7.44 billion based upon yesterday’s close. In short, 3% dilution is against more than a 5.3% drop in the price.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
