ENERGY TRANSFER EQUITY, L.P.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“ETE”) reflects the pro forma impacts of (i) Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. ("ETP") contribution of its propane operations to AmeriGas Partners, L.P. (“AmeriGas”) in exchange for approximately $1.46 billion in cash and approximately 29.6 million common units representing limited partner interests in AmeriGas (the “Propane Transaction”) and (ii) the Southern Union Merger (as defined below).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Propane Transaction and the Southern Union Merger as if both had occurred on December 31, 2011; the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations assumes that both transactions were consummated on January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet and condensed consolidated statements of operations should be read in conjunction with ETE's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 22, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have occurred if the Propane Transaction and/or the Southern Union Merger had been consummated on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of operations in the future. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the accompanying notes, are based upon available information and certain assumptions that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this document.

Propane Transaction
On January 12, 2012, ETP contributed its propane operations, consisting of Heritage Operating, L.P. ("HOLP") and Titan Energy Partners, L.P. ("Titan") (collectively, the “Propane Business”) to AmeriGas. ETP received approximately $1.46 billion in cash and approximately 29.6 million AmeriGas Common Units valued at $1.12 billion at the time of the contribution. AmeriGas also assumed approximately $71.0 million of existing HOLP debt. The cash proceeds were used to complete the redemption of $750 million of aggregate principal amount of ETP senior notes and to repay borrowings on ETP's revolving credit facility.

Southern Union Merger
On March 26, 2012, Sigma Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETE, completed its acquisition of Southern Union. Southern Union is the surviving entity in the merger and will continue to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETE.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Southern Union stockholders were able to elect to exchange each outstanding share of Southern Union common stock for $44.25 in cash or 1.00 ETE Common Unit, with no more than 60% of the aggregate merger consideration payable in cash and no more than 50% of the merger consideration payable in ETE Common Units. Based on the final results of the merger consideration, elections were as follows:
approximately 54% of outstanding Southern Union shares, or 67,985,929 shares, received cash for total cash consideration of $3.01 billion; and
approximately 46% of outstanding Southern Union shares, or 56,981,860 shares, received ETE Common Units valued at $2.35 billion at the time of the merger.
In connection with the Southern Union Merger on March 26, 2012, ETP completed its acquisition of CrossCountry Energy LLC ("CrossCountry"), a subsidiary of Southern Union which owns an indirect 50%





interest in Citrus Corp. ETP paid $1.895 billion in cash and issued $105 million of ETP Common Units (the “Citrus Transaction”). ETP used cash proceeds from its completed public offering of $2 billion Senior Notes to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Citrus Transaction. ETE agreed to relinquish its rights to approximately $220 million of the IDR's from ETP that ETE would otherwise be entitled to receive over 16 consecutive quarters.

Pending Sunoco Merger
On April 30, 2012, ETP announced its entry into a definitive merger agreement whereby ETP will acquire Sunoco, Inc. ("Sunoco") in a common unit and cash transaction valued at $5.3 billion based on the closing price of ETP's common units on April 27, 2012. This transaction is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2012, subject to approval by Sunoco's shareholders and customary regulatory approvals. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of ETE does not reflect this pending merger, which was announced subsequent to the consummation of the Southern Union Merger and Citrus Transaction.

ENERGY TRANSFER EQUITY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INFORMATION



(a)
To record the deconsolidation of ETP's propane operations in connection with the Propane Transaction with AmeriGas.

(b)
To record the pro forma impacts from the consideration received in connection with the Propane Transaction, including (i) ETP's receipt of AmeriGas common units representing approximately 34% of the limited partner interests in AmeriGas, and (ii) ETP's use of cash proceeds from the transaction to redeem long-term debt. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations include adjustments to reduce interest expense resulting from the repayment of (i) $402.3 million of outstanding borrowings on ETP's revolving credit facility based on the amount outstanding as of January 1, 2011 and (ii) the redemption of $750 million of aggregate principal amount of ETP's senior notes.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations also include adjustments to equity in earnings of affiliates to reflect net impact of (i) ETP's proportionate share of limited partners' interest in net income attributable to AmeriGas and (ii) amortization of the pro forma excess fair value associated with ETP's interest in AmeriGas. ETP's equity in earnings of AmeriGas reflected in its unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 are based on the pro forma earnings of AmeriGas for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011 including the earnings of the Propane Business.
(c)
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Southern Union stockholders were able to elect to exchange each outstanding share of Southern Union common stock for $44.25 in cash or 1.00 ETE Common Unit, with certain limitations. Based on the stockholder elections the merger consideration was as follows:
approximately 54% of outstanding Southern Union shares, or 67,985,929 shares, received cash for total cash consideration of $3.01 billion; and
approximately 46% of outstanding Southern Union shares, or 56,981,860 shares, received ETE Common Units valued at $2.35 billion at the time of the merger.





The following table summarizes the preliminary assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized as of the merger date:

The adjustment to long-term debt reflects both the fair value adjustment recorded in connection with purchase accounting and incremental borrowings of $3.01 billion to fund the cash portion of the consideration.

(d)
To accrue merger related costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2012 in connection with the Southern Union Merger. This adjustment includes amounts incurred by Southern Union.

(e)
To reflect changes in amounts attributable to general partners, limited partners and noncontrolling interest based on the impacts of pro forma adjustments (a) and (b) above.

(f)
To eliminate the merger-related costs incurred by ETE and Southern Union. ETE merger-related costs were $21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Southern Union merger-related costs were $15.7 million for the the year ended December 31, 2011, which include change in control and severance costs. These costs are eliminated from ETE's pro forma income statement, because such costs would not have a continuing impact on ETE's results of operations.

(g)
To record depreciation expense on the $1.4 billion of excess purchase price allocated to property, plant and equipment based on a weighted average useful life of 24 years and record the related income tax impact.

(h)
To record interest expense at ETE's actual rate of 4.22% from borrowings of approximately $1.1 billion in connection with the Southern Union Merger. This adjustment also includes interest expense on ETP's borrowings of $1.895 billion at an actual weighted average rate of 5.85% to fund the Citrus Transaction.

(i)
