  1. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS:

Crestwood Acquisition

On November 3, 2023, Energy Transfer acquired Crestwood, which owns gathering and processing assets located in the Williston, Delaware and Powder River basins. Under the terms of the merger agreement, holders of Crestwood common units received 2.07 Energy Transfer common units for each Crestwood common unit held by them (the “Common Unit Merger Consideration”). Additionally, each outstanding Crestwood preferred unit was, at the election of the holder of such Crestwood preferred unit, either, (i) converted into a Series I Preferred Unit, which is a new preferred unit of Energy Transfer that has substantially similar terms, including with respect to economics and structural protections, as the Crestwood preferred units; (ii) redeemed in exchange for $9.857484 in cash plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of such redemption; or (iii) converted into a Crestwood common unit at the then-applicable conversion ratio of one Crestwood common unit for ten Crestwood preferred units, and such Crestwood common units then received the Common Unit Merger Consideration.

In total, consideration issued in the transaction included approximately 216 million Energy Transfer common units,41 million Series I Preferred Units and $300 million in cash. Concurrent with the closing of the Crestwood acquisition, the Partnership assumed $2.85 billion aggregate principal amount of Crestwood senior notes and terminated its revolving credit facility, which included the repayment of $613 million in outstanding borrowings.

The Crestwood acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition with any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Determining the fair value of acquired assets requires management’s judgment and the utilization of an independent valuation specialist, if applicable, and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Acquired assets were valued based on a combination of the discounted cash flow, the guideline company and the reproduction and replacement methods.

The following table summarizes the assumed allocation of the purchase price among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

In August 2022, the Partnership completed the sale of its 51% interest in Energy Transfer Canada. The sale resulted in cash proceeds to Energy Transfer of $302 million.

Energy Transfer Canada’s assets and operations were included in the Partnership’s all other segment until August 2022. Energy Transfer Canada did not meet the criteria to be reflected as discontinued operations in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations. Based on the anticipated proceeds upon signing of the share purchase agreement in February 2022, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Partnership recorded a write-down on Energy Transfer Canada’s assets of $300 million, of which $164 million was allocated to noncontrolling interests and $136 million was reflected in net income attributable to partners. Upon the completion of the sale in August 2022, the Partnership recorded an $85 million loss on deconsolidation.

A total of 384,780 Series G Preferred Units were issued in connection with the Enable acquisition. The total fair value of Energy Transfer common units and Series G Preferred Units issued was approximately $3.5 billion at the closing date. Energy Transfer also made a $10 million cash payment for Enable’s general partner and assumed $3.18 billion aggregate principal amount of Enable senior notes. In addition, Enable’s $800 million term loan and $35 million revolving credit facility were repaid and terminated in December 2021, immediately subsequent to the close of the Enable acquisition.

The Enable acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition with any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Determining the fair value of acquired assets requires management’s judgment and the utilization of an independent valuation specialist, if applicable, and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Acquired assets were valued based on a combination of the discounted cash flow, the guideline company and the reproduction and replacement methods.
