(ENB or the Company) at BBB (high) and the ratings on the Company\u2019s Medium-Term Notes &#038; Unsecured Debentures at BBB (high), Fixed-to-Floating Subordinated Notes at BBB (low), Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at Pfd-3 (high) and Commercial Paper (CP) at R-2 (high), all with Stable trends. <\/p>\n<p>The confirmations incorporate DBRS\u2019s assessment of ENB\u2019s strong business risk profile, which should benefit over the medium term from its strategic plan to reposition its asset mix to a pure regulated pipeline and utility business model (demonstrated by $7.5 billion of announced non-core asset sales to date) and completion of its current large portfolio of low-risk capital projects, combined with an improving financial risk profile that should benefit from ENB\u2019s more conservative recent funding plan (including the expected $4.0 billion consolidated debt reduction), corporate simplification and the potential for reduced structural subordination at the ENB level over time. The Stable trends incorporate DBRS\u2019s expectation that any incremental investments in new projects would be consistent with maintaining a strong overall business risk profile and medium-term improvement in key credit metrics with the completion of the current large capital expenditure (capex) program.<br \/><b>&#8230;<\/b><br \/>A positive rating action is unlikely without substantial reduction in structural subordination. DBRS expects ENB to meet its key target metrics of 15% funds from operations-to-debt and five times debt-to-EBITDA, likely in late 2018 or early 2019. A negative rating action is not expected over the medium term.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"8\"><strong>HIMIPref&trade; Preferred Indices<br \/>These values reflect
