Item 8.01. Other Events.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed principally to reflect certain retrospective revisions for changes in reportable segments that have been made to the consolidated financial statements of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Partnership” and “ETE”) that were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company on March 1, 2013 as Items 1, 7 and 8 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). The Partnership began reporting comparative results using the revised segment presentation effective with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013.
As a result of the transaction that was consummated between ETE and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”) on April 30, 2013, ETE's reportable segments in its consolidated financial statements were revised. Beginning with the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013, ETE's reportable segments now consist of the following:
Investment in ETP;
Investment in Regency Energy Partnership LP (“Regency”); and
Corporate and Other.
In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in the Form 10-K, the items included in this Form 8-K have been updated solely for matters relating specifically to the realignment of our reporting segments, 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 Form 10-K to reflect events or occurrences after the date of the filing of the Form 10-K, March 1, 2013. Therefore, this Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K, and filings made by ETE with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K, including ETE's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, and September 30, 2013, filed on May 9, 2013, August 8, 2013, and November 7, 2013, respectively.
Item 9.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K revises certain information contained in the Partnership’s 2012 Form 10-K to reflect these changes in reportable segments. In particular, Exhibit 99.1 contains a revised description of the Partnership’s business segments, financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
