                                  ENRON CORP.

                                PROXY STATEMENT

     The enclosed form of proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Enron
Corp. ("Enron") to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in
the LaSalle Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel at Allen Center, 400 Dallas Street,
Houston, Texas, at 10:00 a.m. Houston time on Tuesday, May 2, 2000. The mailing
address of the principal executive office of Enron is 1400 Smith St., Houston,
Texas 77002-7369. This proxy statement and the related proxy are to be first
sent or given to the shareholders of Enron on approximately March 28, 2000. Any
shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time provided written notice of
such revocation is received by the Senior Vice President, Board Communications
and Secretary of Enron before such proxy is voted; otherwise, if received in
time, properly completed proxies will be voted at the meeting in accordance with
the instructions specified thereon. Shareholders attending the meeting may
revoke their proxies and vote in person.

     Holders of record at the close of business on March 3, 2000, of Enron's
Common Stock (the "Common Stock") will be entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to the meeting. Holders of record at the close of business on
March 3, 2000, of Enron's Cumulative Second Preferred Convertible Stock (the
"Preferred Convertible Stock") will be entitled to a number of votes per share
equal to the conversion rate of 27.304 shares of Common Stock for each share of
Preferred Convertible Stock. On March 3, 2000, the record date, there were
outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting of shareholders
724,602,226 shares of Common Stock and 1,287,136 shares of Preferred Convertible
Stock. There are no other voting securities outstanding. Common Stock and
Preferred Convertible Stock are collectively referred to herein as "Voting
Stock."

     Enron's annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1999,
including financial statements, is being mailed herewith to all shareholders
entitled to vote at the annual meeting. The annual report does not constitute a
part of the proxy soliciting material.

                                    ITEM 1.

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     At the meeting, eighteen directors are to be elected to hold office until
the next succeeding annual meeting of the shareholders and until their
respective successors have been elected and qualified. All of the nominees are
currently directors of Enron. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of
persons than the number of nominees named on the enclosed form of proxy. A
plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy by the holders of Voting Stock
is required to elect a director. Accordingly, under the Oregon Business
Corporation Act and Enron's bylaws, abstentions and "broker non-votes" would not
have the same legal effect as a vote withheld with respect to a particular
director. A broker non-vote occurs if a broker or other nominee does not have
discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a
particular item. Shareholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of
directors.

     It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such
proxy "FOR" the election of the nominees named herein. Should any nominee become
unavailable for election, discretionary authority is conferred to vote for a
substitute. The following information regarding the nominees, their principal
occupations, employment history and directorships in certain companies is as
reported by the respective nominees.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

     The Board of Directors held five regularly scheduled meetings and nine
special meetings during the year ended December 31, 1999. The Executive
Committee meets on a less formal basis and may exercise all of the powers of the
Board of Directors, except where restricted by Enron's bylaws or by applicable
law. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Executive Committee met ten
times. The Executive Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Duncan
(Chairman), Belfer, Foy, Lay, LeMaistre, Skilling and Winokur.

     The Board of Directors uses working committees with functional
responsibility in the more complex recurring areas where disinterested oversight
is required. The Audit and Compliance Committee serves as the overseer of
Enron's financial reporting, internal controls and compliance processes. At five
meetings during the year ended December 31, 1999, the Audit and Compliance
Committee met with the independent auditors, as well as, with Enron officers and
employees who are responsible for legal, financial and accounting matters. In
addition to recommending the appointment of the independent auditors to the
Board of Directors, the Audit and Compliance Committee reviews the scope of and
fees related to the audit, accounting policies and reporting practices, contract
and internal auditing and internal controls, compliance with Enron's policies
regarding business conduct and other matters as deemed appropriate. The Audit
and Compliance Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Jaedicke (Chairman),
Chan, Foy, Mendelsohn, Pereira, Wakeham and Dr. Gramm.

     The Compensation and Management Development Committee's responsibility is
to establish Enron's compensation strategy and ensure that the senior executives
of Enron and its wholly owned subsidiaries are compensated effectively in a
manner consistent with the stated compensation strategy of Enron, internal
equity considerations, competitive practices and the requirements of appropriate
regulatory bodies. In meeting eight times during the year ended December 31,
1999, the Compensation and Management Development Committee also continued to
monitor and approve awards earned pursuant to Enron's comprehensive executive
compensation program, monitor Enron's employee benefit programs and review
matters relating to management development and management succession. The
Compensation and Management Development Committee is currently composed of
Messrs. LeMaistre (Chairman), Blake, Duncan, Jaedicke and Savage.

     The Finance Committee serves as a monitor of Enron's finance activities. In
meeting five times during the year ended December 31, 1999, the Finance
Committee reviewed the financial plans and proposals of management, including
equity and debt offerings, changes in stock dividends and the equity repurchase
program, changes in the risk management policy, transaction approval process and
the policy for approval of guarantees, letters of credit, letters of indemnity,
and other support arrangements and recommending action with regard thereto to
the Board of Directors. The Finance Committee is currently composed of Messrs.
Winokur (Chairman), Belfer, Blake, Chan, Meyer, Pereira, Savage and Urquhart.

     The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has oversight for
recommendations regarding the size of the Board of Directors, recruiting and
recommending candidates for election to the Board of Directors, monitoring the
Corporate Governance Guidelines for revision and compliance and periodic
evaluation of director independence and performance. This committee met five
times during the year ended December 31, 1999. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Wakeham (Chairman),
Mendelsohn, Meyer and Dr. Gramm.

                COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Each nonemployee director of Enron receives an annual service fee of
$50,000 for serving as a director. No additional fees are paid for serving on
committees, except that committee chairs receive an additional $10,000 annually.
Meeting fees are $1,250 for each Board of Directors meeting attended and $1,250
for each committee meeting attended. Total directors' fees paid in cash,
deferred under the Enron Corp. 1994 Deferral Plan (the "1994 Deferral Plan") or
received in a combination of phantom stock units and stock options in lieu of
cash under the Enron Corp. 1991 Stock Plan, as amended and restated effective
May 4, 1999 (the "1991 Stock Plan"), in 1999 were $1,172,191, or an average of
$86,829 per nonemployee director.

     Directors are required to defer 50% of their annual service fee into the
Phantom Stock Plan of the 1994 Deferral Plan. In some countries, deferrals into
the 1994 Deferral Plan may create adverse tax consequences for the director. In
August, 1999, the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the
"Committee") approved a change such that upon notification by Enron management
of the applicable international tax laws, a director may receive an award of
phantom stock units under the 1991 Stock Plan in lieu of mandatory deferrals
into the Phantom Stock Account of the 1994 Deferral Plan. A change was
subsequently approved allowing Lord Wakeham to receive phantom stock units in
lieu of deferrals into the Phantom Stock Account, beginning with 50% of his
retainer earned on December 31, 1999, which resulted in a grant of 141 phantom
stock units with a value of $6,250. As long as Lord Wakeham does not revoke his
election, as of July 1 of each year, the Committee shall approve an award of
phantom stock units in a number determined by the Committee that will reflect
the value of such portion of the retainer fee that is waived by Lord Wakeham for
the calendar year. Such award of phantom stock units will fully vest on the
fifth anniversary of the date of grant.

     Directors can elect to receive remaining fees in cash, defer receipt of
their fees to a later specified date under the 1994 Deferral Plan or receive
their fees in a combination of phantom stock units and stock options in lieu of
cash under the 1991 Stock Plan. Participants in the 1994 Deferral Plan may elect
to invest their deferrals among several different investment choices. During
1999, nine directors elected to defer fees under the 1994 Deferral Plan. Prior
to 1994, directors were able to defer their fees under Enron's 1985 Deferral
Plan, which continues to credit interest on account balances based on 150% of
Moody's seasoned corporate bond yield index with a minimum rate of 12%, which
for 1997, 1998 and 1999 was the minimum rate of 12%. One director elected to
receive stock in lieu of fees in a combination of phantom stock units and stock
options according to the terms of the 1991 Stock Plan. During 1999, each
nonemployee director received 560 phantom stock units (valued at $37.5938 per
unit on the date of grant) and options to purchase 8,240 shares (with an
exercise price of $37.5938 per share) according to the terms of the 1991 Stock
Plan.

     The 1991 Stock Plan permits nonemployee directors whose ownership of Enron
Common Stock would result in a material conflict of interest for business,
employment, or professional purposes, to submit an opinion of counsel of such
fact to the Committee with a request that such nonemployee director not be
eligible to receive further grants under the 1991 Stock Plan and to forfeit all
outstanding grants made to such nonemployee director until such time as the
Committee is satisfied that such conflicts have been removed or no longer apply.
In December, 1998, Dr. Gramm provided to the Committee a written opinion of
counsel indicating that her continued participation in the 1991 Stock Plan could
be considered a conflict of interest; accordingly, she has chosen not to receive
further grants under the 1991 Stock Plan. Therefore, Dr. Gramm did not receive
stock options or phantom stock units in 1999. Instead, on behalf of Dr. Gramm,
Enron contributed $79,763 (value of phantom stock units and stock options) into
her Flexible Deferral Account under the 1994 Deferral Plan.

       REPORT FROM THE COMPENSATION AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
                        REGARDING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for developing the
Enron executive compensation philosophy. It is the duty of the Committee to
administer the philosophy and its relationship with the compensation paid to the
Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and each of the other senior executives.

     The basic philosophy behind executive compensation at Enron is to reward
executive performance that creates long-term shareholder value. This
pay-for-performance tenet is embedded in each aspect of an executive's total
compensation package. Additionally, the philosophy is designed to promote
teamwork by tying a significant portion of compensation to business unit and
Enron performance. Base salaries, annual incentive awards and long-term
incentive awards are reviewed periodically to ensure consistency with Enron's
total compensation philosophy.

Total Compensation

     All decisions regarding executive compensation are made based upon
performance as measured against pre-established objectives and competitive
practice as measured, utilizing multiple public and private compensation
surveys. Each year, Enron conducts an executive compensation study covering
executives in the top corporate and business unit positions. The Committee
utilizes the services of Towers Perrin, a consulting firm experienced in
executive compensation, to conduct the study. Compensation studies evaluate
total direct compensation which is defined as base salary, plus most recent
actual annual incentive earned, plus the estimated annualized present value of
long-term incentive grants.

     Competitive compensation rates are developed using published and private
compensation survey sources. Data from the sources represent similar positions
in general industry and industry specific companies, as appropriate. For
example, pipeline industry data, where available, is blended with general
industry data for Enron Gas Pipeline Group business unit positions;
high-technology industry data is blended with general industry data for many
Enron Broadband Services positions; trading industry data is blended with
general and energy industry data for commercial positions in Enron North America
Corp. ("ENA") and Enron's international regions. Market data is reflective of
job level and job type and is aligned with corporate or business unit revenues.

     Executives have the opportunity to earn at the 75th percentile or higher
level, subject to obtaining performance at the 75th percentile or higher. Higher
achievement provides higher value, while lesser performance decreases total
compensation. In order to assure that an executive's compensation is tied to
performance, more dollars of total compensation are placed at risk, tied to
Enron absolute performance and performance relative to the S&P 500 group of
companies.

Base Salary

     Base salaries for all positions are targeted at the median of the
respective markets. The annual salary increase budget is set to maintain Enron's
market position. Base pay, as well as, other compensation components are also
reflective of individual performance.

Annual Incentive Awards

     The primary objective of the Annual Incentive Plan is to promote
outstanding performance by Enron in absolute terms, as well as in comparison to
its peer companies. The Annual Incentive Plan is funded as a

                                       13
<PAGE>   16

percent of recurring after-tax net income as approved by the Committee each
year. Payment is based upon Enron's performance against pre-established goals,
as well as business unit and individual performance.

     Annual bonus payments are based upon Enron's performance measured against
the operating plan as approved by the Board of Directors. Key performance
criteria such as funds flow, return on equity, debt reduction, earnings per
share improvements, and other relevant factors are considered at the option of
the Committee. These criteria are weighted each year based upon priorities and
may be changed from year to year. A performance review report is presented to
the Committee in January. This report summarizes management's view regarding
whether, and to what extent, the key performance criteria were attained. The
performance review report also discusses any other significant but unforeseen
factors that positively or negatively affected Enron's performance. The
Committee verifies Enron's actual recurring after-tax net income, reviews
management's funding level recommendation and approves the resulting award fund.

     In 2000, the Annual Incentive Plan will be provided for Section 16 officers
as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("the Exchange
Act"), and will be funded as a percentage of recurring after-tax net income (not
to exceed five percent) as approved by the Committee and the shareholders and is
based upon company performance and competitive industry practice. Downward
adjustment of the fund is at the sole discretion of the Committee. However,
upward adjustment of the fund, over the formula-driven amount, is not allowed.
Since the performance goal of Enron is recurring after-tax net income, the fund
increases or decreases based on the earnings performance of Enron.

     Business unit performance is measured against the appropriate business unit
annual plan. After the Board of Directors determines the overall funding level,
the Office of the Chairman determines the allocations for each operating group
based on performance. Individual payouts are based on business unit performance
and the employee's individual performance as determined through the Performance
Review Committee ("PRC") process. Generally, the Committee will review the
individual recommendations for key executives and the Office of the Chairman
will approve the recommendations for all other participants.

Long-Term Incentive Grants

     Enron's long-term incentive program is designed to tie executive
performance directly to the creation of shareholder wealth. Accordingly, in
2000, awards will be made one-half in non-qualified stock options and the other
one-half in restricted stock with a performance accelerated vesting feature. The
value of an Enron stock option is based upon the value of Enron stock at the
time of the grant and other factors, including stock price volatility, dividend
rate, option term, vesting schedule, termination provisions and long-term
interest rates. A third-party compensation consultant derives the value, which
is approved by the Committee. Stock options are granted with a seven-year term,
25% vesting on date of grant and 25% vesting each anniversary date thereafter.
Restricted stock cliff vests four years from date of grant. However, vesting can
be accelerated based upon Enron's annual cumulative shareholder return relative
to the S&P 500.

     Long-term incentive targets are set based on executive compensation survey
results and as approved by the Committee. Grants are determined based upon the
current PRC assessment. Grants are reviewed and approved by the Office of the
Chairman and also by the Committee for Section 16 officers. In the past, the
Committee has utilized other long-term compensation vehicles that they deemed
appropriate.

     For 1999, long-term grants to corporate and certain operating company
executives consisted of stock options and performance based restricted stock.
Prior to 1999, Enron granted performance units to corporate and certain
operating company executives. The performance units compare Enron's total
shareholder return to peer group performance over a four-year period.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

     As part of an annual review, the Committee applies the executive
compensation philosophy to the total compensation package of the CEO and the
other senior executives. In 1999, Mr. Lay's base salary was $1,300,000. Mr. Lay
has not received a base salary increase since May 1, 1998. Since Mr. Lay's base
salary exceeds $1,000,000, base salary in excess of this amount is deferred into
Enron's 1994 Deferral Plan to preserve tax deductibility under Section 162(m).
(See "Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)" below).

     In recognition of Enron's extremely strong performance during 1999 relative
to targeted recurring after-tax net income, Mr. Lay received a cash annual
incentive award of $3,900,000. The Committee determined the amount of the annual
incentive award taking into consideration the annual performance report
presented by management, which reflected an increase in total recurring
after-tax net income of 37% from the previous year, Enron's increase in earnings
per share of over 18%, and a total shareholder return of 57.3%, compared to 7.7%
for Enron's proxy peer group, 20.9% for the S&P 500 and 27% for the Dow Jones
Industrial Average. The Committee also considers market data provided by Towers
Perrin.

     In January, 2000, Mr. Lay received a long-term incentive award consisting
of a grant of stock options, at market value on the date of grant, to acquire
769,235 shares, and a grant of 158,521 shares of restricted stock with
performance accelerated vesting features. The stock options have a seven-year
term and are 25% vested on the date of grant with 25% vesting on each
anniversary of the date of grant for three years. The restricted stock will vest
and be released on January 31, 2004. Accelerated vesting may occur if Enron's
total shareholder return exceeds S&P 500 performance.

     In addition, the accelerated vesting provisions on Mr. Lay's December, 1996
and January, 1997 grants were triggered since Enron's total shareholder return
for 1999 was 274% higher than the 1999 S&P 500 performance versus the
performance hurdle of 120% of the S&P 500.

     Mr. Lay received a cash payment of $1,218,750 under the Performance Unit
Plan for the 1996-1999 performance period. Payments are made under the
Performance Unit Plan if Enron's total shareholder return ranks sixth or greater
as compared to 11 industry peers, the S&P 500 and 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills for
the four-year performance period. During the measurement period from 1996-1999
Enron's return to its shareholders was 142.6% compared with an average of 78.2%
for industry peers, and 20.8% for 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills. This performance
earned Enron a ranking of second and therefore, the units had a value of $1.50.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for
compensation over $1,000,000 paid to a company's CEO and four other most highly
compensated executive officers, as reported in its proxy statement. Qualifying
performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limit if certain
requirements are met. Enron has structured most aspects of the performance based
portion of the compensation for its executive officers (which includes stock
option grants, performance units and performance-based annual incentive awards)
in a manner that complies with the Code. The following plans were presented and
approved by shareholders at the Annual Meetings of Shareholders in the years as
indicated: the Amended and Restated 1991 Stock Plan (1994, 1997 and 1999), the
Amended and Restated Performance Unit Plan (1994 and 1995) and the Annual
Incentive Plan (1994 and 1999).

Summary

     The Committee focuses on ensuring there is a strong link between the
success of the shareholder and the rewards of the executives. This success is
evidenced by the increase in shareholder value from 1990 to 1999, during which
time a shareholder who invested $100 in Enron Common Stock would have received
$789, or a 689% increase in value, compared to 423% for the S&P 500 and 262% for
industry peers. The Committee believes that with the present plan designs,
management will continue to strive to increase shareholder value.

COMPARATIVE STOCK PERFORMANCE

     As required by applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"), the graph below was prepared based upon the following assumptions:

        1. $100 was invested in Enron Common Stock, the S&P 500 and the peer
           group as referenced below on December 31, 1994.

        2. The peer group investments are weighted based on the market
           capitalization of each individual company within the peer group at
           the beginning of each year and the trading activity of the stock of
           each individual company during the year.

        3. Dividends are reinvested on the ex-dividend dates.

     The companies that comprise Enron's original peer group are as follows: BG
Group plc; BP Amoco Corporation (through January 4, 1999); The Coastal
Corporation; Columbia Energy Group; Consolidated Natural Gas Company; Duke
Energy Corporation; Dynegy Inc.; El Paso Energy Corporation; Occidental
Petroleum Corporation; Sonat Inc. (through October 25, 1999); and The Williams
Companies, Inc.

     As a result of mergers and divestitures in 1998 and 1999, the following
peer group changes have been made: BP Amoco Corporation, due to its merger with
British Petroleum, has been replaced by PG&E Corporation; Sonat Inc., due to its
merger with El Paso Energy Corporation, has been replaced by The AES
Corporation.

     Accordingly, the companies that comprise Enron's current peer group are as
follows: The AES Corporation; BG Group plc; The Coastal Corporation; Columbia
Energy Group; Consolidated Natural Gas Company; Duke Energy Corporation; Dynegy
Inc.; El Paso Energy Corporation; Occidental Petroleum Corporation; PG&E
Corporation; and The Williams Companies, Inc.

     Although this method of calculating shareholder return differs from the
method that Enron uses for purposes of its Performance Unit Plan, it does
display a similar trend.

</TABLE>

     On a ten-year basis, $100 invested in Enron Common Stock on December 31,
1989, would provide a return to shareholders of 689% through December 31, 1999
as compared to an investment in the S&P 500, which would yield a return of 423%,
or Enron's peer groups which would yield a return of 262% for the same time
period.

     In July, 1999, Enron announced a 2-for-1 stock split which became effective
on August 13, 1999. All references to stock options and restricted stock in the
compensation tables, supporting footnotes, contracts and other transactions
sections reflect the 2-for-1 stock split.

 (1) Includes perquisites and other personal benefits if value is greater than
     the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of reported salary and bonus. Personal plane
     usage of $192,847, $107,548 and $159,344 has been reported for Mr. Lay in
     1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Mr. Frevert is currently on an
     expatriate assignment, and has received payments to cover additional tax
     liabilities of $646,362, $600,258 and $1,655,088 in 1997, 1998 and 1999,
     respectively. Also, Enron maintains three deferral plans for key employees
     under which payment of base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentive
     awards may be deferred to a later specified date. Under the 1985 Deferral
     Plan, interest is credited on amounts deferred based on 150% of Moody's
     seasoned corporate bond yield index with a minimum rate of 12%, which for
     1997, 1998 and 1999 was the minimum rate of 12%. No interest has been
     reported as Other Annual Compensation under the 1985 Deferral Plan for
     participating Named Officers because the crediting rates during 1997, 1998,
     and 1999 did not exceed 120% of the long-term Applicable Federal Rate
     ("AFR") of 14.38% in effect at the time the 1985 Deferral Plan was
     implemented. Beginning January of 1996, the 1994 Deferral Plan credits
     interest based on fund elections chosen by participants. Since earnings on
     deferred compensation invested in third-party investment vehicles,
     comparable to mutual funds, need not be reported, no interest has been
     reported as Other Annual Compensation under the 1994 Deferral Plan during
     1997, 1998 and 1999. Other Annual Compensation also includes cash
     perquisite allowances and cash paid for benefits lost due to statutory
     and/or plan earnings limits.

 (2) The following is the aggregate total number of shares in unreleased
     restricted stock holdings and their value as of December 31, 1999 for each
     of the Named Officers: Mr. Lay, 136,114 shares valued at $6,040,059; Mr.
     Skilling, 237,284 shares valued at $10,529,478; Mr. Sutton, 281,058 shares
     valued at $12,471,949; Mr. Frevert, 57,278 shares valued at $2,541,712; and
     Mr. Horton, 21,030 shares valued at $933,207. In accordance with the
     provisions of the 1991 Stock Plan, in the event of a "change of control,"

                                              (Notes continue on following page)

     outstanding grants of restricted stock shall become fully vested. Dividend
     equivalents for all restricted stock awards accrue from date of grant and
     are paid upon vesting.

 (3) Reflects project completion bonus payments through the Enron Development
     Corp. Project Participation Plan (the "Project Participation Plan").
     Included for Mr. Sutton is a buyout payment of $147,200 in 1997,
     representing buyout value for Mr. Sutton's Enron Power Corp. phantom
     appreciation grant.

 (4) The amounts shown include the value as of year-end 1997, 1998 and 1999 of
     Enron Common Stock allocated during those years to employees' special
     subaccounts under the Enron Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and 1998
     and 1999 matching contributions on employees' Enron Corp. Savings Plan
     account. Included in 1997, 1998 and 1999 for Mr. Lay is $4,388, $5,109 and
     $5,950, respectively, that is attributable to term life insurance coverage
     pursuant to split-dollar life insurance arrangements. Also included in
     1997, 1998 and 1999 for Mr. Lay is $275,877, $280,265 and $280,265,
     respectively, which represents the remainder of the annual premium that was
     provided in exchange for forfeiture by Mr. Lay of post-retirement executive
     supplemental survivor benefits and executive supplemental retirement
     benefits. Additionally, included in 1997, 1998 and 1999 for Mr. Lay is
     $14,999, $16,170 and $17,340, respectively, of imputed income that is
     attributable to a split-dollar life insurance premium of $250,000 (also
     included) which is paid annually by Enron on a life insurance policy
     already owned by Mr. Lay, with recovery of the cost of such premiums upon
     Mr. Lay's death. Included in 1997, 1998 and 1999 for Mr. Skilling is a cash
     payment by Enron of $107,673, $110,192 and $109,868, respectively,
     attributable to term-life insurance coverage pursuant to a split-dollar
     life insurance arrangement with recovery of the cost of such premiums upon
     Mr. Skilling's death. Pursuant to Mr. Sutton's employment agreement, he
     received a $750,000 contribution to his non-qualified deferral plan
     account. Included in 1997, 1998 and 1999 for Mr. Frevert is $286,383,
     $385,327 and $182,837, respectively, for allowances and other payments
     relating to his foreign assignment.

 (5) Represents performance-based restricted stock which was granted in 1998 in
     lieu of performance units for the 1999-2002 performance period under the
     Enron Corp. Long-Term Incentive Program. The shares will become vested and
     will be released on January 31, 2002, however, vesting may be accelerated
     such that 33 1/3% of the shares will vest and be released on January 31,
     2000, January 31, 2001 and January 31, 2002, if earnings targets are
     achieved in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Since all Enron business units achieved
     net income targets for 1999, 33 1/3% of the shares vested on January 31,
     2000.

 (6) Pursuant to Mr. Skilling's employment agreement and with respect to a
     promotion and contract extension, he received restricted shares that vest
     33 1/3% on October 13, 1998, 33 1/3% on October 13, 1999 and 33 1/3% on
     October 13, 2000.

 (7) Pursuant to Mr. Sutton's employment agreement, he received 32,122
     restricted shares on January 31, 1999 that vested 25% on the grant date,
     and will vest 25% on each anniversary of the grant date. On October 11,
     1999 he was awarded 167,878 restricted shares in recognition of his
     promotion to Vice Chairman of Enron. Of those shares, 43,473 vest four
     years following the grant date (but may be accelerated contingent upon
     Enron's cumulative shareholder return relative to the S&P 500) and 124,405
     shares vest in increments of 33 1/3% with vesting contingent upon Enron
     stock reaching a closing price of $60, $68 and $75. The shares vested
     33 1/3% on January 20, 2000, and 33 1/3% on January 21, 2000 (when Enron
     stock reached a market price of $60 and $68, respectively) and 33 1/3% will
     vest when Enron stock reaches $75 per share.

 (8) Restricted stock and stock options were granted to Mr. Sutton as a buyout
     of his fixed participation interests in the Project Participation Plan. The
     restricted stock and stock options were to vest 20% at grant and 20% per
     year on each anniversary of the grant date. In consideration of Mr.
     Sutton's promotion and contract extension initiated during 1998, the
     vesting schedule was revised such that the remaining 60% of the stock
     options vested 50% on January 1, 1999 and 50% on January 1, 2000.

 (9) Mr. Frevert's employment agreement, executed in June, 1998, provided for a
     grant of 400,000 stock options and 97,056 restricted shares on August 10,
     1998. Stock options vest 20% on the grant date and 20% on each December 31
     thereafter and restricted shares vest 25% on the grant date and 25% on each
     January 31 thereafter. Mr. Frevert was also granted 297,550 stock options
     on December 31, 1998 which vest 20% on the grant date and 20% on each
     anniversary of the grant date.

(10) Restricted stock (8,750 shares) and 79,440 stock options awarded to Mr.
     Frevert on January 21, 1997 vested 100% on January 21, 2000. On August 11,
     1997, he received a grant of 120,000 stock options that vested 33 1/3% on
     the grant date and 33 1/3% on each anniversary of the grant date and
     267,420 stock options that vest 20% on each December 31 following the grant
     date.

(11) Mr. Horton received an award of 20,064 restricted shares on January 19,
     1998, which vest 33 1/3% each on January 31, 1999, January 31, 2000 and
     January 31, 2001, however, vesting could accelerate 100% on January 31,
     1999 if in 1998 Enron exceeded its actual 1997 recurring diluted earnings
     per share. Enron exceeded its financial objective and 100% of the shares
     vested on January 31, 1999.

(12) Represents stock options awarded on January 5, 1998 (Mr. Skilling 205,130),
     and January 19, 1998 (Mr. Lay, 158,980, Mr. Skilling 112,830), which vest
     20% on grant date and vest 20% on each anniversary of the grant date. On
     December 31, 1998, Mr. Lay, Mr. Skilling, and Mr. Horton received stock
     options (590,650, 268,370 and 91,260, respectively), under the Enron Corp.
     Long-Term Incentive Program which vest 25% on the grant date and 25% on
     each anniversary of the grant date.

(13) On January 21, 1997, Mr. Lay and Mr. Skilling elected to receive, or
     received on a mandatory basis, stock options in lieu of a portion of their
     cash bonus payments (113,090 and 55,820, respectively). Stock options were
     100% vested on the grant date. Mr. Lay's employment agreement provided for
     a grant of 1,275,000 stock options on January 3, 1997. Twenty percent (20%)
     vested

                                              (Notes continue on following page)

<PAGE>   22

     on the date of grant and the remaining options vest on November 1, 2003,
     however, vesting can be accelerated in one-third increments on the
     remaining options if total shareholder return is at least 120% of the S&P
     500 index on an annual basis and/or cumulative basis. The total shareholder
     return for 1998 and 1999 was at least 120% of the S&P 500 performance,
     therefore, 26.7% vested on December 31, 1998 and 26.7% vested on December
     31, 1999. On December 31, 1997, Mr. Lay received 512,830 stock options
     under the Enron Corp. Long Term Incentive Program for the 1998-2001
     performance period that vest 20% on the grant date and 20% on each
     anniversary of the grant date. However, in February, 2000, Mr. Lay's
     employment agreement was amended and all unvested options related to the
     December 31, 1997 grant vested. Mr. Skilling's employment agreement
     provided for an award of 1,944,180 stock options and 526,316 restricted
     shares which were granted on October 13, 1997. Stock options vested 20% on
     the grant date and 20% on each anniversary of the grant date. The Committee
     approved accelerated vesting such that 904,866 stock options vested on
     February 7, 1999 and the remaining options vested as scheduled on October
     13, 1999. Mr. Skilling's unrestricted shares vest 33 1/3% on each
     anniversary of the grant date.

(14) Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Sutton's employment agreement on June 22, 1998
     and with respect to a promotion and contract extension, he was granted
     200,000 Enron stock options that vest 33 1/3% on May 4, 1999, May 4, 2000
     and May 4, 2001 and 200,000 stock options that vest 25% on each anniversary
     of the grant date. Mr. Sutton also received a grant of 148,780 stock
     options on December 31, 1998 that vested 25% on December 31, 1999 and will
     vest 25% on each anniversary of the grant date.

(15) On January 21, 1997, Mr. Horton received a grant for 25,120 stock options
     which vested 100% on the grant date. On May 5, 1997, he received a grant of
     200,000 stock options that vest 20% at grant, and 20% on each anniversary
     of the grant date. He received an award on December 31, 1997 of 66,670
     stock options that vest 20% at grant and 20% on each anniversary of the
     grant date.

(1) The dollar amounts under these columns represent the potential realizable
    value of each grant of options assuming that the market price of Enron
    Common Stock appreciates in value from the date of grant at the 5% and 10%
    annual rates prescribed by the SEC and therefore are not intended to
    forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of the price of Enron Common
    Stock.

(2) If a "change of control" (as defined in the 1991 Stock Plan) were to occur
    before the options become exercisable and are exercised, the vesting
    described below will be accelerated and all such outstanding options shall
    be surrendered and the optionee shall receive a cash payment by Enron in an
    amount equal to the value of the surrendered options (as defined in the 1991
    Stock Plan).

                                              (Notes continue on following page)

<PAGE>   23

(3) An appreciation in stock price, which will benefit all shareholders, is
    required for optionees to receive any gain. A stock price appreciation of 0%
    would render the option without value to the optionees.

(4) In consideration of employment agreement extensions, the Committee approved
    stock option awards for Mr. Lay and Mr. Skilling, which vest 25% on the
    grant date and 25% on each anniversary of the grant date. Pursuant to his
    agreement and in recognition of his increased responsibilities as Vice
    Chairman of Enron, Mr. Sutton was awarded 173,335 stock options on October
    11, 1999 and 200,000 stock options on November 19, 1999, which vest 25% on
    the grant date and 25% on each anniversary of the grant date. In addition,
    in accordance with the terms of his existing agreement, Mr. Sutton received
    100,955 stock options on December 31, 1999 that vest 25% on each anniversary
    of the grant date.

(5) This grant reflects the value paid out from the Project Participation Plan
    in the form of stock options that vest 100% at the earlier of the date upon
    which a transfer of the project occurs to an entity (including an Enron
    entity) resulting in a decrease in Enron's aggregate direct and indirect
    ownership interest in such project, or six months following the date on
    which commercial operations commence (whichever is sooner), but not later
    than December 31, 2002.

(6) Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Frevert was awarded
    stock options on December 31, 1999. Options vested 20% on the grant date,
    and will vest 20% on each anniversary of the grant date.

(7) Includes options awarded on December 31, 1999 under the All Employee Stock
    Option Program to employees hired during 1999.

(8) Weighted average exercise price of all Enron stock options granted to
    employees in 1999.

(9) Appreciation for All Employee and Director Optionees is calculated using the
    maximum allowable option term of ten years, even though in some cases the
    actual option term is less than ten years. Appreciation for all shareholders
    is calculated using an assumed ten-year option term, the weighted average
    exercise price for All Employee and Director Optionees ($38.1638) and the
    number of shares of Common Stock acquired and outstanding on December 31,
    1999.

RETIREMENT AND SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT PLANS

     Enron maintains the Enron Corp. Cash Balance Plan (the "Cash Balance Plan")
which is a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan to provide retirement
income for employees of Enron and its subsidiaries. Through December 31, 1994,
participants in the Cash Balance Plan with five years or more of service were
entitled to retirement benefits in the form of an annuity based on a formula
that uses a percentage of final average pay and years of service. In 1995, the
Board of Directors adopted an amendment to and restatement of the Cash Balance
Plan changing the plan's name from the Enron Corp. Retirement Plan to the Enron
Corp. Cash Balance Plan. In connection with a change to the retirement benefit
formula, all employees became fully vested in retirement benefits earned through
December 31, 1994. The formula in place prior to January 1, 1995 was suspended
and replaced with a benefit accrual in the form of a cash balance of 5% of
annual base pay beginning January 1, 1996. Under the Cash Balance Plan, each
employee's accrued benefit will be credited

                                       21
<PAGE>   24

with interest based on ten-year treasury bond yields. Directors who are not
employees are not eligible to participate in the Cash Balance Plan.

     Enron also maintains a noncontributory employee stock ownership plan
("ESOP") which covers all eligible employees. Allocations to individual
employees' retirement accounts within the ESOP offset a portion of benefits
earned under the Cash Balance Plan prior to December 31, 1994. December 31, 1993
was the final date on which ESOP allocations were made to employees' retirement
accounts.

     In addition, Enron has a supplemental retirement plan that is designed to
assure payments to certain employees of that retirement income that would be
provided under the Cash Balance Plan except for the dollar limitation on accrued
benefits imposed by the Code and a pension program for deferral plan
participants that provides supplemental retirement benefits equal to any
reduction in benefits due to deferral of salary into Enron's Deferral Plans.

     The following table sets forth the estimated annual benefits payable under
normal retirement at age 65, assuming current remuneration levels without any
salary projection and participation until normal retirement at age 65, with
respect to the Named Officers under the provisions of the foregoing retirement
plans:

NOTE: The estimated annual benefits payable are based on the straight life
      annuity form without adjustment for any offset applicable to a
      participant's retirement subaccount in the ESOP.

     Mr. Skilling participates in the Executive Supplemental Survivor Benefit
Plan (the "Survivor Benefit Plan"). Mr. Lay has waived his participation in lieu
of life insurance premiums. In the event of death after retirement, the Survivor
Benefit Plan provides an annual benefit to the participant's spouse equal to 50%
of the participant's annual base salary at retirement, paid for ten years. The
Survivor Benefit Plan also provides that in the event of death before
retirement, the participant's spouse receive an annual benefit equal to 30% of
the participant's annual base salary at death, paid for the life of the
participant's spouse (but for no more than 20 years in some cases). Mr. Lay has
an agreement which was entered into with Houston Natural Gas Corporation ("HNG")
for an annual benefit equal to 30% of his annual base salary upon death before
retirement, paid for the life of his spouse. In May, 1999, the Committee
approved a trade out of this benefit for an additional split-dollar life
insurance policy with premiums to commence in 2000.

SEVERANCE PLANS

     Enron's Severance Pay Plan, as amended, provides for the payment of
benefits to employees who are terminated for failing to meet performance
objectives or standards or who are terminated due to reorganization or economic
factors. The amount of benefits payable for performance related terminations is
based on length of service and may not exceed six weeks of pay. For those
terminated as the result of reorganization or economic circumstances, the
benefit is based on length of service and amount of pay up to a maximum

                                       22
<PAGE>   25

payment of 26 weeks of base pay. If the employee signs a Waiver and Release of
Claims Agreement, the employee may receive an additional severance benefit equal
to the severance benefit described above. Under no circumstances will the total
severance benefit paid under Enron's Severance Pay Plan exceed 52 weeks of pay.
Under Enron's Change of Control Severance Plan, in the event of an unapproved
change of control of Enron, any employee who is involuntarily terminated within
two years following the change of control will be eligible for severance
benefits equal to two weeks of base pay multiplied by the number of full or
partial years of service, plus one month of base pay for each $10,000 (or
portion of $10,000) included in the employee's annual base pay, plus one month
of base pay for each five percent of annual incentive award opportunity under
any approved plan. The maximum an employee can receive is 2.99 times the
employee's average W-2 earnings over the past five years.

                              EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS

     Mr. Lay entered into an employment agreement with Enron in December, 1996,
which, as amended, provides for a minimum salary of $1,300,000, and expires on
December 31, 2003. To preserve tax deductibility, any base salary in excess of
$1,000,000 must be deferred into Enron's 1994 Deferral Plan. Mr. Lay's
employment agreement provided for a grant of 1,275,000 stock options on December
9, 1996. Twenty percent (20%) was vested on the date of grant and the remaining
options vest on November 1, 2003, however, vesting can be accelerated in
one-third increments if total shareholder return is at least 120% of the S&P 500
index on an annual basis and/or cumulative basis. Enron's total shareholder
return for 1998 and 1999 was at least 120% of the S&P 500 performance,
therefore, 26.7% vested on December 31, 1998 and 26.7% vested on December 31,
1999. His agreement also provides for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement,
whereby Enron will pay five annual premiums of $250,000 on a life insurance
policy already owned by Mr. Lay, with recovery of the cost of such premiums upon
Mr. Lay's death. Benefits payable under Enron's Deferral Plans and the HNG
Deferral Plan in the event of Mr. Lay's termination of employment will be paid
as if Mr. Lay had retired from Enron, regardless of the reason for termination.
During 1999, Mr. Lay's $4,000,000 interest-bearing line of credit was paid in
full. Mr. Lay's agreement was amended and extended through December 31, 2003 and
in consideration for the contract extension, Mr. Lay received stock option
awards which are referenced in the Summary Compensation and the Stock Option
Grants During 1999 tables. In connection with amending Mr. Lay's agreement, he
will have a three-year period to exercise stock options for a grant received on
December 29, 1995 in the event of his retirement, death or disability. In the
event of his termination for any reason (except termination for cause), Mr. Lay
will receive amounts prescribed in the agreement, offset against amounts payable
under the severance plan maintained by Enron, through the term of the agreement.
If severance remuneration payable under the agreement is held to constitute an
"excess parachute payment" and Mr. Lay becomes liable for any tax penalties
imposed thereon, Enron will make a cash payment to him in an amount equal to the
tax penalties plus an amount equal to any additional tax for which he will be
liable as a result of receipt of the payment for such tax penalties and payment
for such reimbursement for additional tax. The employment agreement contains
noncompete provisions in the event of Mr. Lay's termination of employment.

     Mr. Skilling entered into an employment agreement with Enron in January,
1996, which, as amended, provides for a minimum annual salary of $750,000 and
expires on December 31, 2003. In October, 1997, the employment agreement was
amended to provide for a $4,000,000 loan to Mr. Skilling, of which $2,000,000
was repaid during 1999. The remaining loan will be forgiven if Mr. Skilling
fulfills all the duties and responsibilities under his employment agreement
through December 31, 2001 or is involuntarily terminated prior to December 31,
2001. Total accrued interest on the loan in 1999 was $186,479, calculated at an
average

                                       23
<PAGE>   26

interest rate of 6.24% (the 1997 mid-term AFR), and such interest has been
repaid by Mr. Skilling. As an additional benefit to Mr. Skilling, Enron pays a
portion of the annual premiums associated with a split-dollar life insurance
policy (for 1999, Enron paid $109,868). The policy is owned by Mr. Skilling, and
upon his death Enron will recover the cost of premium payments. This benefit
generates no imputed income for Mr. Skilling, as he contributes an amount equal
to the annual cost of current life insurance as measured by the insurer's
current minimum premium rate for standard risks. The agreement was amended and
extended through December 31, 2003 and in consideration for the contract
extension, provides for stock option awards which are referenced in the Summary
Compensation and the Stock Option Grants During 1999 tables. Further, the
amendment stipulates that in the event of involuntary termination, death, or
disability, Mr. Skilling will receive amounts prescribed in the agreement,
offset against amounts payable under the severance plan maintained by Enron,
through the term of the agreement as well as full vesting of all outstanding
stock options and restricted stock awards (with the exception of stock options
granted on November 16, 1999) as disclosed in the Summary Compensation and Stock
Option Grants During 1999 tables. Additionally, the amended agreement stipulates
that if severance remuneration payable under the agreement is held to constitute
an "excess parachute payment" and Mr. Skilling becomes liable for any tax
penalties imposed thereon, Enron will make a cash payment to him in an amount
equal to the tax penalties plus an amount equal to any additional tax for which
he will be liable as a result of receipt of the payment for such tax penalties
and payment for such reimbursement for additional tax. The employment agreement
contains noncompete provisions in the event of Mr. Skilling's termination of
employment.

     Mr. Sutton entered into an employment agreement with Enron in June, 1998,
which, as amended, provides for a minimum annual salary of $700,000 and expires
on June 30, 2003. In accordance with the terms of his existing contract, he will
receive annual grants of stock options with a value of $1,060,000 on each
December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001. He received restricted shares with a
value of $1,060,000 on January 31, 2000 and he will receive restricted shares
with a value of $1,060,000 on January 1, 2001, January 1, 2002 and January 1,
2003. Restricted stock grants are conditioned on Enron meeting at least 80% of
its after-tax net income targets for calendar years 1999-2002. Such 80% target
is a cumulative percentage over the five-year period (1998-2002) so that if an
80% target is not met for any single year during the 1998-2002 period, Mr.
Sutton may become eligible to receive such grant for such a missed year if the
cumulative average of such 80% targets for such missed year and prior or
subsequent years during the period meets or exceeds the cumulative 80% targets.
Shares will vest 25% on the grant date and 25% on each anniversary of the grant
date. The agreement was amended and extended through June 30, 2003 and provides
for stock options and restricted stock awards which are referenced in the
footnotes following the Summary Compensation and the Stock Option Grants During
1999 tables. On each January 31, 2001 through 2003, he will receive 173,335
stock options and 43,473 restricted shares. In January, 2000, he received an
award of 25,595 restricted shares, which vested 33 1/3% when Enron stock reached
$60 and $68 per share, respectively, and will vest 33 1/3% if Enron stock
reaches $75 per share. Further, the amended agreement provides that on each
February 15 of calendar years 2000-2003, Enron will contribute $500,000 to Mr.
Sutton's 1994 Deferral Plan account. In the event of his involuntary
termination, Mr. Sutton will receive amounts prescribed in the agreement through
the term of the agreement and beyond, and full vesting of all outstanding grants
of stock options and restricted shares such that all unvested shares will become
fully vested upon involuntary termination. The employment agreement contains
noncompete provisions in the event of Mr. Sutton's termination of employment.

     Mr. Frevert entered into an employment agreement with Enron in June, 1998,
that provides for a minimum annual salary of $500,000 and expires on May 31,
2001. Mr. Frevert received stock option and restricted stock awards pursuant to
his agreement (see footnotes following the Summary Compensation and the Stock
Option Grants During 1999 tables). In the event of his involuntary termination,
Mr. Frevert will

                                       24
<PAGE>   27

receive amounts prescribed in the agreement through the term of the agreement.
The employment agreement contains noncompete provisions in the event of Mr.
Frevert's termination of employment.

     Mr. Horton entered into an agreement with Enron in October, 1996, which, as
amended, provides for a minimum annual salary of $520,000 and expires on July
31, 2002. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Horton will receive stock
options and restricted stock in January, 2000, January, 2001 and January, 2002
with a grant value totaling $2,000,000 for each year (to be delivered 50% in
options and 50% in restricted shares). In the event of his involuntary
termination, Mr. Horton will receive amounts prescribed in the agreement through
the term of the agreement and beyond. The employment agreement contains
noncompete provisions in the event of Mr. Horton's termination of employment.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     Effective August 1, 1991, Enron, Enron Power Corp. (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Enron) and John A. Urquhart entered into a Consulting Services
Agreement which has been amended several times, the latest of such amendments
was effective as of January 1, 2000, to provide for an extension of the
agreement through December 31, 2000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr.
Urquhart serves as Senior Advisor to the Chairman and consults with Enron
regarding the development and implementation of an integrated strategic
international business plan and other matters concerning international business
and operations. The amendment provides for a retainer fee of $33,075 per month
for providing up to 90 days of consulting services annually and a daily rate of
$4,410 for days in excess of 90 days annually. In August, 1995, the agreement
was amended to provide for a grant of 100,000 Enron phantom stock options at a
grant price equal to the December 29, 1995, Enron closing stock price, or
$19.0625. The phantom shares vested 50% on June 29, 1996, and 50% on December
29, 1996, and were to expire on December 31, 1998. With the extension of Mr.
Urquhart's Consulting Services Agreement through December 31, 2000, the
expiration date of the 100,000 Enron phantom stock options granted on December
29, 1995 was extended to December 31, 2001. Mr. Urquhart is reimbursed for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing services under the
agreement. The services to be performed by Mr. Urquhart pursuant to the
Consulting Services Agreement do not include, and are in addition to, his duties
as a director of Enron, and the above compensation is in addition to the
remuneration payable to Mr. Urquhart as a member of the Board of Directors of
Enron. During 1998 and 1999, Enron paid Mr. Urquhart $410,106 and $531,710,
respectively, for services rendered (including reimbursement of expenses) under
the Consulting Services Agreement.

     Mr. Urquhart was a director of Enron Renewable Energy Corp. ("EREC") until
his resignation on February 23, 2000. On January 2, 1997, Mr. Urquhart was
awarded options to purchase 67,495 shares of EREC common stock at a grant price
of $15.00, granted in tandem with options to purchase 47,500 shares of Enron
Common Stock at an exercise price of $21.31, both of which were awarded at fair
market value on the date of grant. The options became 20% vested on the date of
grant and were to vest 20% on each anniversary of the date of grant through
January 2, 2001. As a result of EREC's recent merger with another subsidiary of
Enron, an election event has occurred under the EREC Stock Plan. Accordingly,
Mr. Urquhart is required to make an election by April 7, 2000, to either retain
his tandem grants of Enron stock options or receive a cash payment for 100% of
his vested and unvested EREC stock options. The cash-out of the EREC options or
the retention of the Enron options will cancel the tandem options with respect
to the other security.

     Effective September 30, 1996, a monthly retainer of $6,000 was approved for
payment to Lord John Wakeham in consideration of his services to Enron and its
affiliates relating to his advice and counsel on matters relating specifically
to European business and operations. The services to be performed by Lord

                                       25
<PAGE>   28

Wakeham pursuant to this monthly retainer arrangement do not include and are in
addition to his duties as a director of Enron and the above compensation is in
addition to the remuneration payable to Lord Wakeham as a member of the Board of
Directors of Enron. For the year 1999, Enron paid Lord Wakeham $72,000 for
services rendered to Enron Europe Limited.

     Enron Property & Services Corp., a subsidiary of Enron, and Lay/Wittenberg
Travel Agency in the Park, Inc. ("TAP") are parties to an Agreement for Services
under which TAP provides travel arrangements for Enron and its affiliates'
employees. The agreement will expire on March 31, 2001. TAP is owned 50% by
Sharon Lay, sister of Kenneth L. Lay, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Enron. During 1999, TAP received net revenue in the amount of
$245,359 attributable to Enron employee travel.

     Herbert S. Winokur, Jr., a director of Enron, is affiliated with National
Tank Company ("NATCO"), a privately owned company that is a provider of wellhead
equipment, systems and services used in the production of oil and gas. During
the calendar years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, NATCO recorded
revenues of $1,035,000, $643,793 and $535,682, respectively, from sales to
subsidiaries of Enron of oilfield equipment, services and spare parts in the
ordinary course of business on terms that Enron believes are no less favorable
than the terms of similar arrangements with third parties. Mr. Winokur's
affiliation with NATCO arises out of his indirect management of two funds that
own NATCO's indirect parent. In addition, Mr. Winokur is a minority limited
partner of such funds. Enron believes that its subsidiaries and NATCO will
continue to enter into similar arrangements throughout 2000.

     In June, 1999, Enron entered into a series of transactions involving a
third party and LJM Cayman, L.P. ("LJM1"). LJM1 is a private investment company
that primarily engages in acquiring or investing in energy and communications
related investments. Andrew S. Fastow, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer of Enron, is the managing member of LJM1's general partner.
The general partner of LJM1 is entitled to receive a percentage of the profits
of LJM1 in excess of the general partner's proportion of the total capital
contributed to LJM1, depending upon the performance of the investments made by
LJM1. The effect of the transactions was (i) Enron and the third party amended
certain forward contracts to purchase shares of Enron Common Stock, resulting in
Enron having forward contracts to purchase Enron Common Stock at the market
price on that day, (ii) LJM1 received 6.8 million shares of Enron Common Stock
subject to certain restrictions and (iii) Enron received a note receivable and
certain financial instruments hedging an investment held by Enron. Enron
recorded the assets received and equity transferred at estimated fair value. In
connection with the transactions, LJM1 agreed that Mr. Fastow would have no
pecuniary interest in such Enron Common Stock and would be restricted from
voting on matters related to such shares. LJM1 repaid the note receivable in
December, 1999. Management believes that the terms of the transactions were
reasonable and no less favorable than the terms of similar arrangements with
unrelated third parties.

     In the second half of 1999, Enron entered into eight transactions with LJM1
and LJM2 Co-Investment, L.P. ("LJM2"). LJM2 is a private investment company that
primarily engages in acquiring or investing in energy and communications related
investments. Mr. Fastow is the managing member of LJM2's general partner. The
general partner of LJM2 is entitled to receive a percentage of the profits of
LJM2 in excess of the general partner's proportion of the total capital
contributed to LJM2, depending upon the performance of the investments made by
LJM2. In six of these transactions, LJM1 and/or LJM2 acquired various debt and
equity securities of certain Enron subsidiaries and affiliates that were
directly or indirectly engaged in the domestic and/or international energy
business. The aggregate consideration agreed to be paid to Enron pursuant to
these six transactions was approximately $119.3 million. In the seventh
transaction, LJM2 paid $12.9 million for an equity interest in an Enron
securitization vehicle (that owned approximately $300 million of merchant
assets) and loaned $19.6 million to such vehicle. In the eighth transaction,
LJM2

                                       26
<PAGE>   29

borrowed $38.5 million from an Enron affiliate, which loan was outstanding at
year end. These transactions occurred in the ordinary course of Enron's business
and were negotiated on an arm's length basis with senior officers of Enron other
than Mr. Fastow. Management believes that the terms of the transactions were
reasonable and no less favorable than the terms of similar arrangements with
unrelated third parties.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     During 1996, Belco Oil & Gas Corp. ("BOGC") entered into natural gas and
crude oil commodity swap agreements and option agreements with ENA. BOGC is a
publicly traded corporation, approximately 77% of the outstanding common stock
of which is owned by Robert A. Belfer and members of his family. These
agreements were entered into in the ordinary course of business of ENA and are
on terms that ENA believes are no less favorable than the terms of similar
arrangements with third parties. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, in
1999, ENA received from BOGC a net amount of approximately $5,180,000 in
settlement and paid to BOGC an approximate net amount of $1,115,000 in option
premiums. The amount of future payments (as well as whether payments are made by
ENA to BOGC or vice versa) is affected by fluctuations in energy commodity
prices. Enron believes that BOGC and ENA will continue to enter into similar
arrangements throughout 2000.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Enron's officers, directors and
persons who own more than 10% of the Common Stock or the Preferred Convertible
Stock to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership
concerning the Common Stock or the Preferred Convertible Stock and to furnish
Enron with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon Enron's
review of the Section 16(a) filings that have been received by Enron, Enron
believes that all filings required to be made under Section 16(a) during 1999
were timely made, except that Ronnie C. Chan did not timely file one report
containing two transactions, and Frank Savage did not timely file one report
containing one transaction.

                                    ITEM 2.

                    RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

     Pursuant to the recommendation of the Audit and Compliance Committee, the
Board of Directors appointed Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public
accountants, to audit the consolidated financial statements of Enron for the
year ending December 31, 2000.

     The appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as auditors of Enron will be
ratified at the Annual Meeting if the number of votes cast in favor of
ratification exceeds the number of votes cast opposing it. Under Oregon law,
abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for or against this
proposal.

     The shares represented by the proxies solicited by the Board of Directors
will be voted as directed on the form of proxy or, if no direction is indicated,
will be voted "FOR" ratification of Arthur Andersen LLP as the auditors of
Enron.

     In the event the appointment is not ratified, the Board of Directors will
consider the appointment of other independent auditors. A representative of
Arthur Andersen LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders on May 2, 2000, and will be available to respond to appropriate
questions.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL.

                                    ITEM 3.

            SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL FROM BRENT BLACKWELDER, PRESIDENT,
                          FRIENDS OF THE EARTH ACTION

PROPOSAL:

     The shareholders request that the Board of Directors prepare a report, at
reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, analyzing the biodiversity
and human rights impacts of Enron's operations worldwide, with an eye towards
developing policies addressing these issues.

STATEMENT OF SUPPORT:

     As an international energy company with operations in environmentally and
politically sensitive areas, issues such as environment and human rights are
critical to Enron from a regulatory, business, and ethical perspective. We
believe that without a clear understanding of important environmental and human
rights issues, our company may expose itself to unnecessary risks, endanger its
reputation as an environmental leader, and pass up the opportunities, financing
and recognition that responsible corporate citizenship provides.

     Enron recognizes the growing international concern over climate change, and
is expanding its wind energy business, a move that positions our company well
for the future. Enron's leadership in this sector has earned accolades from
environmental groups, while creating business and shareholder benefits. For
example, when Patagonia, Inc. decided to source 100% of its electricity from
wind energy, Enron won the contract to provide the retailer with its California
energy needs. (Patagonia press release, 7/6/98)

     We welcome Enron's commitment to climate change, but we do not believe that
Enron has yet demonstrated an understanding of and a policy commitment towards
other important issues, such as biodiversity and human rights.

                                       28
<PAGE>   31

     In one case, Enron relocated a proposed wind farm to minimize potential
threats to the endangered California condor. (National Audubon Society press
release 11/3/99)

     But in another highly controversial project, Enron routed a gas pipeline
through tropical forests in Bolivia. Twenty-five members of Congress wrote to
the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation ("OPIC") opposing Enron's
project. Meanwhile, media such as the Financial Times ("Pipelines under fire,"
03/09/99) and Latin America Regional Reports ("Enron Struggles to Allay
Environmental Objections," 06/22/99) covered the controversy. Eventually, Enron
received OPIC financing for this pipeline, but only after OPIC twice delayed
their decision to study environmental issues.

     With respect to human rights, Human Rights Watch published a 1999 report,
The Enron Corporation: Corporate Complicity in Human Rights Violations. This
report chronicled the development of the Dahbol power project, which was
cancelled in 1995 due to political opposition, and renegotiated in 1996.
According to Human Rights Watch, Indian activists and representatives of
villager's associations organized to oppose the project and were subjected to
human rights abuses.

     Similarly, the newswire InterPress Service detailed community opposition to
Enron's above mentioned Bolivia pipeline ("Locals Fight Pipeline in Unique
Forest" 7/26/99). We believe the lack of local participation in natural resource
decisions contributed to the controversies and delays surrounding these two
projects.

     We believe that by developing a clear understanding of and policies
governing broader environmental and human rights issues, Enron could:

     - help ensure public financing for our company's projects in the future,

     - reduce political and environmental risks of proposed projects,

     - help preserve its reputation as an environmental leader, and

     - avail itself of new business opportunities.

                 ENRON'S RESPONSE TO SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL FROM
           BRENT BLACKWELDER, PRESIDENT, FRIENDS OF THE EARTH ACTION

     Enron is committed to the protection of human rights and the environment
wherever Enron operates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors and senior
management have taken key steps to ensure that the appropriate policies exist
and are effectively implemented, managed, and monitored. For example, the Board
of Directors has taken a leadership role in adopting a Human Rights Policy, as
well as a Statement of Environmental, Health, and Safety Principles. These
principles emphasize adherence to internationally recognized human rights, as
well as the importance of environmental protection, especially in regions where
laws and/or respect for these principles may be deficient. These principles also
are distributed to our employees and serve as a guide for the conduct of our
employees wherever they may work. Enron also has appointed a task force of
senior management team members whose mission is to launch a formalized corporate
responsibility program.

     Because Enron strives to make a positive impact in the communities in which
it operates, Enron is dedicated to engaging in constructive dialogue with
affected and interested parties including shareholders, customers, employees,
society, and business partners. Further Enron is committed to measuring,
assessing, and enhancing our human rights, biodiversity, and overall
sustainability performance. In addition, Enron

                                       29
<PAGE>   32

currently is evaluating the most appropriate and effective method for
strengthening its current communication efforts with respect to human rights and
environmental performance.

     Because of Enron's dedication to principled business leadership, it has
taken proactive steps to address concerns about its activities at Cuiaba and
Dabhol, respectively. For instance, from the inception of the Cuiaba pipeline
project, Enron worked with local and global organizations and project partners
to apply and adhere to certain principles guiding it's conduct in the community.
These principles include (1) a commitment to sustainable development, (2) the
implementation of a high quality mitigation plan to address the areas directly
impacted by the pipeline right-of-way, (3) a commitment to work with the
Bolivian government, OPIC, indigenous organizations, and environmental
organizations, and (4) an invitation to interested and affected parties to
monitor our activities and provide recommendations to make this project a
success for all parties involved. With respect to Enron's activities in India,
Enron does not tolerate human rights abuses by employees or contractors. While
Enron respects the mission of Human Rights Watch, Enron does not feel that its
report on the Dabhol Power Project is accurate. The report refers to peaceful
protests, when, in fact, the reason the police were positioned near our site is
that there have been many acts of violence against our employees and
contractors. In addition, Enron feels that it's efforts to develop positive
relations with the community were not reflected in the report.

     While Enron respects the intent of the Friends of the Earth Action
proposal, Enron believes that its current policies and practices, as well as its
future plans to strengthen our corporate responsibility initiative reflect
Enron's attention and dedication to these issues. Enron maintains that it
already has policies in place and will continue to develop policies addressing
these issues, and is currently fulfilling the spirit and intent of the proposal.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.

                                    ITEM 4.

                SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL FROM DR. JULIA M. WERSHING

     WHEREAS top executives receive considerable increases in compensation
packages even when stockholder return is mediocre or poor.

     WHEREAS comparison with compensation packages for officers of other
companies, regardless of comparative performances, is a poor criteria for
determining executive pay.

     WHEREAS share or option grants act more as a bonus than as an effective
incentive to performance.

     WHEREAS excessively high stock option grants, LTIP's and SAR's tend to
dilute stockholder value and disenfranchise the small stockholder.

     WHEREAS performance soars when executive pay is based on strict
shareholder-value measures, according to a PricewaterhouseCoopers study as
quoted in the August 1999 issue of Director's Alert. Directors basing executive
pay on strict shareholder-value measures saw a 48% annual return over the past 3
years, the study reports. That's more than double the 22.3% return of the
Standard & Poor's 1500 Super Index over the same period.

     RESOLVED total executive compensation (including base salary, bonuses,
other annual compensation, restricted or unrestricted stock awards, stock
options, LTIP's, SAR's, etc.) be related directly to shareholder return and any
existing executive compensation plan be amended accordingly, and further

     RESOLVED that executives' total compensation be reduced in proportion to a
decrease in shareholder return.

      ENRON'S RESPONSE TO SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL FROM DR. JULIA M. WERSHING

     The Board of Directors believes the proposal submitted by Dr. Wershing is
inaccurate as it relates to the Company's executive compensation programs and
implies deficiencies in the Company's policies that do not exist. The proposal
is also too vague to serve as an appropriate subject for shareholder action,
since it does not specify the components of performance that would be employed
to determine "total shareholder return". The Company's executive compensation
policies and practices already provide for a direct linkage between the
Company's performance for its shareholders and executive compensation, as is
thoroughly explained in the Report from the Committee.

     In order to assure that executive compensation is tied to performance, a
majority of total compensation is placed at risk, tied both to Enron absolute
performance relative to operating and financial targets and to Enron stock price
performance relative to the S&P 500 group of companies. The Committee believes
that the present plan design assures that management will continue to strive to
increase shareholder value and that no fundamental changes to the existing
arrangements are necessary. The Committee also believes the appropriateness of
its current compensation plan design is evidenced by the consistent increase in
shareholder value from 1990 to 1999, during which time a shareholder who
invested $100 in Enron Common Stock would have received $789 in share price
appreciation including dividends, or a 689% increase in value, compared to share
price appreciation including dividends of 423% for the S&P 500 and 262% for
industry peers, respectively. From 1999 performance, Enron's share price
appreciation was 58% as compared to 21% and 7% for the S&P 500 and industry
peers, respectively. Enron's outstanding shareholder return is also evidenced by
three stock splits since 1991 and an average increase in earnings per share over
the past two years of more than 16%.

     The Committee analyzes external market data annually to establish
recommended targets for short-term cash incentives as well as long-term stock
grants to ensure that Enron retains and awards key executives who directly
influence these exceptional returns to shareholders. Enron believes this
approach has played a large role in the Company's success to date. The Committee
works closely with Towers Perrin, a leading executive compensation consulting
firm, in setting compensation philosophy and design to ensure that the most
competitive programs are in place.

     The Enron Corp. Annual Incentive Plan, a plan approved by shareholders, is
a short-term compensation program driven by financial and operating performance.
Payouts are directly linked to company performance. If Enron fails to meet its
earnings targets, bonus payouts are adversely impacted, as occurred with respect
to bonuses paid to top officers based on 1997 earnings and stock price
performance.

     The Enron Corp. Executive Compensation Long-Term Incentive Program, created
under the provisions of the 1991 Enron Corp. Stock Plan, provides long-term
grants in the form of stock options and restricted stock. In May, 1999, Enron
shareholders approved an amendment to the 1991 Enron Corp. Stock Plan which
authorizes the award of an additional ten million shares of common stock for
executive grants over the next several years. This plan is an important
component of the Committee's compensation structure and has already received the
approval of Enron's shareholders. Finally, Dr. Wershing's proposal fails to
identify any deficiencies in Enron's performance justifying a change in Enron's
compensation programs, rather it speaks only in terms of purported increases in
shareholder returns enjoyed by unspecified companies having compensation plans
based on unspecified shareholder value measures. The proposal makes no attempt
to relate these concerns to Enron or its financial or stock market performance.
Therefore, the Board of Directors believes it is inappropriate to ask
shareholders to alter current compensation programs without a clear idea of the
specific deficiencies sought to be remedied.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING "AGAINST" THIS PROPOSAL.

solicitation of proxies and will pay a fee of approximately $7,000 plus
reimbursement of expenses.
