Staff comments

1. Enbridge Inc. is a Canadian multinational pipeline and energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. It operates the world's longest crude oil and liquids transportation system and has interests in natural gas transmission, renewable energy, and power generation. 2. AidData estimates the interest rate by adding the 6-month average LIBOR rate in July 2016 and an applicable margin (BBB- or 1.2%). 3. AidData cannot estimate the maturity date because the "term out date" is unclear. 4.
