proceeds of approximately $568 million from the ETE unit purchase, and we intend to use the net proceeds to repay existing indebtedness

Ranking
The notes will be our unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with all of our
other current and future unsecured senior debt, including our existing senior notes and

all of our current and future subordinated debt, including our existing junior

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes involves risks. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and the risk factors set forth beginning
on page 4 of the accompanying prospectus and in the filings that we and our subsidiaries make with the SEC, together with all of the other
information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, when evaluating an
investment in the notes. These are not all the risks we face and other factors currently considered immaterial or unknown to us may impact our
future operations. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those
discussed in these forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in the accompanying
prospectus.
Risks Related to an Investment in the Notes
We have a holding company structure in which our subsidiaries conduct our operations and own our operating assets.
We are a holding company, and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. We do not have
significant assets other than the partnership interests and the equity in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make required payments on the
notes depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions
to us may be restricted by, among other things, credit facilities and applicable state partnership laws and other laws and regulations. If we are
unable to obtain the funds necessary to pay the principal amount of the notes at maturity, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives,
such as a refinancing of the notes. We cannot assure you that we would be able to refinance the notes.
The notes will be structurally subordinated to liabilities and indebtedness of our subsidiaries and effectively subordinated to any of our
future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.
Our subsidiaries own all of our operating assets. However, none of our subsidiaries will initially guarantee our obligations with respect
to the notes. Creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes will have claims, with respect to the assets of those subsidiaries, that rank
structurally senior to the notes. In the event of any distribution or payment of assets of such subsidiaries in any dissolution, winding up, liquidation,
reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, the claims of those creditors must be satisfied prior to making any such distribution or payment to
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1012569/000119312517008974/d298922d424b5.htm[1/13/2017 9:19:24 AM]

424B5
us in respect of our direct or indirect equity interests in such subsidiaries. Accordingly, after satisfaction of the claims of such creditors, there may
be little or no amounts left available to make payments in respect of the notes. Also, there are federal and state laws that could invalidate any
guarantee of our subsidiaries that guarantee the notes in the future. If that were to occur, the claims of creditors of a guaranteeing subsidiary would
also rank structurally senior to the notes, to the extent of the assets of that subsidiary. As of September 30, 2016, as adjusted for (i) the closing of
the ETE unit purchase and application of the net proceeds therefrom to repay indebtedness under our revolving credit facility and (ii) the offering of
the notes and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in "Use of Proceeds," the notes would have been structurally subordinated
to $8.3 billion of indebtedness of our subsidiaries, consisting of (a) $782 million of indebtedness of our wholly owned subsidiary, Transwestern
Pipeline Company, LLC, or Transwestern, (b) $1.1 billion of indebtedness of Panhandle, (c) $465 million of indebtedness of Sunoco (of which we
are a co-obligor) and (d) $6.0 billion of indebtedness of Sunoco Logistics. Please read "Description of Notes--Ranking" and "Description of Notes
--Subsidiary Guarantees." In addition, as of September 30, 2016, our unconsolidated joint ventures had $5.0 billion of outstanding indebtedness.
Please read "Description of Other Indebtedness--Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." The notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness
of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Please read "Description of Other Indebtedness--Unconsolidated Joint Ventures."

S-6
Table of Contents
In addition, holders of any future secured indebtedness of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. would have claims with respect to the assets
constituting collateral for such indebtedness that are prior to the claims of the holders of the notes. Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (excluding its
subsidiaries) does not currently have any secured indebtedness, but may have secured indebtedness in the future. In the event of a default on any
secured indebtedness or our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets would be used to satisfy obligations with respect to the
indebtedness secured thereby before any payment could be made on the notes. Accordingly, any such secured indebtedness would effectively rank
senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the collateral securing the indebtedness. While the indenture governing the notes will place some
limitations on our ability to create liens, there are significant exceptions to these limitations that will allow us to secure certain indebtedness
without equally and ratably securing the notes. To the extent the value of the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the secured indebtedness, the
holders of that indebtedness would be entitled to share with the holders of the notes and the holders of other claims against us with respect to our
other assets.
We do not have the same flexibility as other types of organizations to accumulate cash, which may limit cash available to service the notes
or to repay them at maturity.
Unlike a corporation, we are required by our partnership agreement to distribute, on a quarterly basis, 100% of our available cash to our
unitholders of record and our general partner. Available cash is generally all of our cash on hand as of the end of a quarter, adjusted for cash
distributions and net changes to reserves. Our general partner will determine the amount and timing of such distributions and has broad discretion
to establish and make additions to our reserves or the reserves of our operating subsidiaries in amounts it determines in its reasonable discretion to
be necessary or appropriate:

· to provide for the proper conduct of our business and the businesses of our operating subsidiaries (including reserves for future

capital expenditures and for our anticipated future credit needs);

· to provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and our general partner for any one or more of the next four calendar quarters;

or

· to comply with applicable law or any of our loan or other agreements.
Although our payment obligations to our unitholders are subordinate to our payment obligations to you, the value of our units may
decrease with decreases in the amount we distribute per unit. Accordingly, if we experience a liquidity problem in the future, the value of our units
may decrease and we may not be able to issue equity to recapitalize.
Your ability to transfer the notes at a time or price you desire may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, which may not
develop.
Each series of the notes is a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market. Although we have registered the
offer and sale of the notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, we do not intend to apply for the listing of the notes
on any securities exchange or for the quotation of the notes on any automated dealer quotation system. In addition, although the underwriters have
informed us that they intend to make a market in the notes of each series, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, they are not obligated to
make markets in the notes, and they may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. Active markets for the notes may
not develop or, if developed, may not continue. In the absence of active trading markets, you may not be able to transfer the notes within the time
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1012569/000119312517008974/d298922d424b5.htm[1/13/2017 9:19:24 AM]

Table of Contents
USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $1.48 billion from the sale of the notes we are offering, after deducting the
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We anticipate using the net proceeds of this offering to refinance current
maturities and to repay borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2016, there was a balance of approximately $1.58 billion of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit
facility, which included $208 million of commercial paper. The weighted average interest rate on the total amount outstanding at January 1, 2017
was 2.12%. Our revolving credit facility matures on November 18, 2019. We used borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund growth
capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders under our revolving credit facility and, accordingly, will receive a substantial portion
of the net proceeds from this offering. Please read "Underwriting--Other Relationships."

In connection with the closing of the contribution of its propane operations in January 2012, ETP agreed to provide contingent, residual
support of $1.55 billion of intercompany borrowings made by AmeriGas and certain of its affiliates with maturities through 2022 from a finance
subsidiary of AmeriGas that have maturity dates and repayment terms that mirror those of an equal principal amount of senior notes issued by this
finance company subsidiary to third party purchasers. In 2016, AmeriGas repurchased certain of its senior notes, which caused a reduction in the
amount supported by ETP under the contingent residual support agreement. As of December 31, 2016, ETP continued to provide contingent,
residual support of $500 million of borrowings.
Similarly, in connection with the closing of Sunoco LP's acquisition of Sunoco, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP has provided a
limited contingent guarantee of collection (on a non-recourse basis) to Sunoco LP with respect to (i) $800 million principal amount of 6.375%
senior notes due 2023 issued by Sunoco LP, (ii) $800 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2021 issued by Sunoco LP and (iii)
$2.035 billion aggregate principal for Sunoco LP's term loan due 2019. Please read "Description of Other Indebtedness--Contingent Support."
