Introductory Note
As previously reported in the registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 28, 2017, in conjunction with the merger completed on such date, the registrant, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, changed its name from “Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P.” to “Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.” (the “SXL Name Change”). References herein to the “Partnership” refer to Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. prior to the SXL Name Change, and Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. following the SXL Name Change. Immediately prior to the SXL Name Change on April 28, 2017, Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, changed its name to “Energy Transfer, LP” (the “ETP Name Change”). References herein to “Old ETP” refer to Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. prior to the ETP Name Change and Energy Transfer, LP following the ETP Name Change.

Item 8.01.
Other Events.
The registrant is filing the financial information identified below pursuant to its obligations under Regulation S-X, with respect to the previously reported merger completed on April 28, 2017. In addition, the registrant is also filing as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, the Old ETP Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K (collectively, the “Old ETP Reports”), as identified below. Except for the signatures, exhibit index and related exhibits, the Old ETP Reports are included in their entirety, because in addition to the financial statements and related footnotes, the other items included in the Old ETP Reports also contain information that is relevant to the registrant under Regulation S-K, including the risk factors described therein.
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K presents the following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information, which has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X:
Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017;
Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017;
Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016; and
Notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 include the historical consolidated financial statements of Old ETP for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. Prior to the merger, Old ETP indirectly owned the general partner of the registrant and, consequently, the historical results and financial condition of the registrant were consolidated into the historical financial statements of Old ETP that are included in Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3.
