This Form 3 is being filed by CenterPoint Energy Midstream, Inc. ("CNP Midstream") in connection with the Internal Spin (as defined below). Following the Internal Spin, CenterPoint Energy, Inc. ("CenterPoint Energy") directly owns all of the outstanding equity interests in CNP Midstream, which is the record holder of the common units of Enable Midstream Partners, LP (the "Issuer"). CenterPoint Energy may be deemed the beneficial owner of all common units held by CNP Midstream. Pursuant to the Internal Spin (as defined below), CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy ("CERC"), is separately filing an "exit" Form 4 to report that it is no longer the beneficial owner or record holder of securities of the Issuer. The Internal Spin did not involve any purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer (Blau v. Mission Corp., 212. F.2d 77, 79 (2d Cir. 1954)). |
