Item 8.01. Other Events.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed principally to reflect certain retrospective revisions for amounts reported in reportable segments that have been made to the consolidated financial statements of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE” or the “Partnership”) that were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Partnership on February 29, 2016 as Items 1, 7 and 8 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).
As a result of the transaction consummated between ETP Retail Holdings, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., and Sunoco LP, amounts reported in ETE’s reportable segments in its consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the transaction for periods prior to January 1, 2016.
In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in the 2015 Form 10-K, the items included in this Form 8-K have been updated solely for matters relating specifically to the retrospective revision of amounts reported in ETE's reportable segments in its consolidated financial statements, as described above. No attempt has been made in the audited financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K, and it should not be read, to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the 2015 Form 10-K to reflect events or occurrences after the date of the filing of the 2015 Form 10-K, February 29, 2016. Therefore, this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2015 Form 10-K, and filings made by ETE with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the 2015 Form 10-K, including ETE’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 filed on May 6, 2016, August 5, 2016 and November 9, 2016, respectively.
Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K revises certain information contained in ETE’s 2015 Form 10-K to reflect these changes in amounts reported in ETE's reportable segments. In particular, Exhibit 99.1 contains a revised description of ETE’s business segments, financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
