SCHEDULE 13D/A
 
 


The Reporting Persons (as such term is defined below) named in Item 2 below are hereby jointly filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to amend the Schedule 13D filed on May 8, 2015 (the “Schedule 13D”) because, due to certain affiliations and relationships among the Reporting Persons, such Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own some or all of the same securities in the Issuer (as such term is defined below).
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
This statement on Schedule 13D, as amended (the “Amended Schedule 13D”), is being filed by Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ETE”), LE GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of ETE (“LE GP”), and Kelcy L. Warren (“Warren” and, together with ETE and LE GP, the “Reporting Persons”), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The class of equity securities to which this Amended Schedule 13D relates is common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 3738 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas, Texas 75219.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following after the third paragraph:
On August 21, 2015, ETE, Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of the Issuer (“ETP GP”), and the Issuer consummated the transactions contemplated by the Exchange and Repurchase Agreement (the “Exchange and Repurchase Agreement”), dated as of July 14, 2015, among ETE, ETP GP and the Issuer. Pursuant to the Exchange and Repurchase Agreement, on August 21, 2015, ETE transferred to ETP, and ETP repurchased from ETE, 21,000,000 Common Units owned by ETE, and in exchange ETP assigned and transferred to ETE 100% of the incentive distribution rights of Sunoco LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“SUN”), and all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Sunoco GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of SUN. As part of the transaction, ETE also agreed to a reduction in the aggregate quarterly distributions it receives with respect to the Issuer’s incentive distribution rights in the amount of $8.75 million per quarter commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2015 and ending with the quarter ending June 30, 2017.
The foregoing description of the Exchange and Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange and Repurchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit D hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b) Approximately 500,963,875 Common Units of the Issuer were outstanding as of August 26, 2015. As of August 21, 2015, ETE and LE GP beneficially own 18,097,278 Common Units and Warren beneficially owns 18,118,385 Common Units, 21,107 of which Warren directly owns and has sole power to vote and dispose. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no executive officer or manager of the Reporting Persons or other party listed in Item 2 has sole or shared beneficial ownership of any Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(c) Except for the transaction described in Item 4 above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in response to paragraph (a) above has effected any transaction in Common Units during the past 60 days.
(d) Except as otherwise described herein, no other person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of sale of, the units described in this Item 5.
(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Issuer’s Common Units as of August 21, 2015.
