(To Prospectus dated March 3, 2017)
$1,000,000,000



Energy Transfer Equity, L.P.
4.25% Senior Notes due 2023


We are offering $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "notes"). Interest on the notes will be
payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2018. The notes will mature on March 15, 2023.
We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at our option at any time and from time to time prior to their maturity at the applicable redemption
prices set forth in this prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. Please read the section entitled
"Description of Notes--Optional Redemption."
The notes initially will be secured on a first-priority basis with the loans and obligations under our senior secured revolving credit facility (our
"revolving credit facility"), our senior secured term loan facility (our "term loan facility") and our existing senior notes, by a lien on substantially
all of our and certain of our subsidiaries' tangible and intangible assets that from time to time secure our obligations under such indebtedness,
subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens and subject to the terms of a collateral agency agreement. The liens securing the notes will be
released in full if liens do not secure more than a threshold level of senior obligations (so long as liens securing our existing senior notes are
similarly released), after which the notes will be unsecured. The notes will be our senior obligations, ranking equally in right of payment with our
other existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness and senior to any of our future subordinated indebtedness.
If we experience a Change of Control together with a Rating Decline, each as defined herein, we must offer to repurchase the notes at an offer
price in cash equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. See "Description of Notes
--Covenants--Change of Control."
The obligations to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the notes are solely our obligations. The notes initially will not be
guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a
criminal offense.

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about October 18, 2017, which is the tenth business
day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+10"). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade
expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will
be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their
own advisors.

Sunoco's Business
Sunoco is a growth-oriented master limited partnership engaged in the wholesale distribution of motor fuels to convenience stores,
independent dealers, commercial customers and distributors, as well as the retail sale of motor fuels and merchandise through its company-
operated convenience stores and retail fuel sites. Additionally, Sunoco is the exclusive wholesale supplier of the iconic Sunoco branded motor
fuel, supplying an extensive distribution network of approximately 5,335 Sunoco-branded company and third-party operated locations
throughout the East Coast, Midwest and Southeast regions of the United. Sunoco is managed by its general partner, Sunoco GP LLC ("Sunoco
GP"), which is owned by us.
On April 6, 2017, Sunoco entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of approximately 1,112 Sunoco operated retail fuel outlets in
19 geographic regions, together with ancillary businesses and related assets, including the Laredo Taco Company, to 7-Eleven, Inc.
("7-Eleven") for an aggregate purchase price of $3.3 billion. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Sunoco has begun marketing efforts with respect to approximately 208 Stripes retail sites located in certain West Texas, Oklahoma and
New Mexico markets, which are not included in the transaction with 7-Eleven. There can be no assurance of Sunoco's success in selling the
remaining company-operated retail assets, nor the price or terms of such sale, and even if a sale is consummated, Sunoco may remain
contingently responsible for certain risks and obligations related to the divested retail assets.
Investment in Lake Charles LNG
Regasification Facility
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Lake Charles LNG, owns an LNG import terminal and regasification facility located on Louisiana's Gulf
Coast near Lake Charles, Louisiana. The import terminal has four LNG tanks providing approximately 9.0 Bcf of above-ground LNG storage
capacity and the regasification facility has a run rate send out peak capacity of 1.8 Bcf/day. Royal Dutch Shell Plc ("Shell") is the sole
customer for the regasification facility and, pursuant to a regasification services agreement that terminates in 2030, is obligated to pay
reservation fees for 100% of the regasification capacity regardless of whether it actually utilizes such capacity.
Liquefaction Project
Lake Charles LNG Export Company, LLC ("LCL"), an entity in which we own 60% and ETP owns the remaining 40%, is in the process
of developing the liquefaction project. The liquefaction project is expected to consist of three LNG trains with a combined design nameplate
outlet capacity of 16.45 metric tonnes per annum. Once completed, the liquefaction project will enable LCL to liquefy domestically produced
natural gas and export it as LNG.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under our term loan facility and,
concurrently with such repayment, refinance the remaining indebtedness under our term loan facility with a new tranche of loans under our
term loan facility with a lower interest rate (such refinancing, the "Term Loan Refinancing"). We expect the Term Loan Refinancing will be
completed concurrently with the closing of this offering; however, we cannot give any assurance that we will complete the Term Loan
Refinancing or that we will do so in the amount, or on the terms, we anticipate. This offering is not conditioned on the completion of the Term
Loan Refinancing.
