Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
On December 3, 2010, Enterprise ETE LLC, the successor by merger to Enterprise GP Holdings
L.P. (“Enterprise”), sold its entire 40.6% membership interest in LE GP, LLC (“LE GP”) to Kelcy L.
Warren, the Chairman of LE GP, in exchange for $13.5 million in cash, which amount was calculated
in accordance with a purchase price methodology specified in the agreements among the members of LE
GP in existence prior to this transaction. The purchase price was paid from personal funds. As a
result of the sale, Enterprise no longer owns any membership interests in LE GP, and Mr. Warren now
owns an 81.2% membership interest in LE GP.
LE GP is the general partner of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”). ETE owns a 100%
membership interest in Regency GP LLC, which is the general partner of Regency GP LP, which in turn
is the general partner of Regency Energy Partners LP.
