TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
On December 9, 2014, Midcoast Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MEP”), filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-200810 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on February 5, 2015.
The Registration Statement registered the issuance and sale of an indeterminate aggregate principal amount and number of securities of each identified class of securities up to a proposed aggregate offering price of $1,500,000,000, which may be offered from time to time in unspecified numbers and at indeterminate prices, and as may be issuable in exchange for, or upon the exercise, conversion, redemption, repurchase or exercise of any securities registered thereunder (the “Registered Securities”). No Registered Securities were issued under the Registration Statement.
Pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement, MEP is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to terminate the Registration Statement and remove from registration all of the Registered Securities which remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.
