Energy Transfer (ET) amends S-3 after July 6, 2026 redomiciliation to Texas

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Energy Transfer filed a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-3 and disclosed that it redomiciled from Delaware to Texas effective July 6, 2026. The amendment updates the registration statement to reflect the new Texas certificate of formation, a new Agreement of Limited Partnership, and that common units converted into units of a Texas limited partnership. The filing incorporates the prior S-3 (File No. 333-279982) by reference and adopts that registration statement under Rule 414(d). The Texas Partnership Agreement limits application of Chapter 8 of the TBOC and contains indemnification provisions subject to Securities Act enforceability constraints.

Insights

Corporate Governance Counsel

Redomiciliation shifts governing law and updates partnership documents.

The filing states the registrant converted from Delaware to Texas effective July 6, 2026, replacing the prior Delaware Partnership Agreement with a Texas Partnership Agreement and a Texas certificate of formation. This is a legal-structural change tied to the plan of conversion and board and Conflicts Committee approvals.

The Texas Partnership Agreement's indemnification language and the stated exclusion of Chapter 8 of the TBOC are material legal mechanics; however, indemnification for Securities Act liabilities remains unenforceable as a matter of SEC policy. Subsequent charter-level filings and referenced Form 8-K exhibits should be reviewed for exact operative provisions.

Capital Markets Analyst

Post-effective S-3 amendment preserves shelf registration continuity after redomiciliation.

The amendment expressly adopts the prior Registration Statement (File No. 333-279982) under Rule 414(d) and updates exhibits (certificate of formation, partnership agreement, indenture references). The registrant states offering commencement is "from time to time after this registration statement becomes effective."

Cash-flow treatment and offering size are not stated in the excerpt; investors should consult the prospectus or future prospectus supplements for offering terms and any underwriting agreements incorporated by reference.

Post-Effective Amendment regulatory

"filed as Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement"

A post-effective amendment is an official update to a securities registration document filed after that document has become effective with regulators; it corrects, adds or replaces information about the securities, the company, or an offering. Investors care because it keeps the legal record current and can change what is being sold or the rights attached to shares — like getting a revised product manual after a launch that may affect value or use.

redomiciliation legal

"changed its state of domicile from the State of Delaware to the State of Texas pursuant to a plan of conversion"

Redomiciliation is when a company legally changes its country of incorporation while keeping the same business and assets, like moving a house to a new neighborhood but keeping the same furniture. Investors care because the company then follows a different set of laws and tax rules, which can change shareholder rights, reporting standards, dividend treatment and the ease of trading the stock, potentially affecting risk and return.

Rule 414(d) regulatory

"expressly adopts the Registration Statement, as modified by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, as its own for all purposes"

Texas Business Organizations Code (TBOC) legal

"the affairs of the Registrant ceased to be governed by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and became subject to the Texas Business Organizations Code"

FAQ

What legal change did Energy Transfer (ET) disclose in this filing?

The filing states Energy Transfer redomiciled from Delaware to Texas effective July 6, 2026. It replaced the prior Delaware certificate and partnership agreement with a Texas certificate of formation and a Texas Partnership Agreement and converted existing common units accordingly.

Does the amendment change the existing Form S-3 registration?

Yes. The registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-3 (File No. 333-279982) to reflect the redomiciliation and expressly adopts the prior registration statement under Rule 414(d) as modified by this amendment.

What does the filing say about indemnification and Securities Act liabilities?

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 6, 2026, Energy Transfer LP (the “Registrant”) changed its state of domicile from the State of Delaware to the State of Texas pursuant to a plan of conversion. This redomiciliation was approved by the board of directors of the general partner in reliance in part on the recommendation and Special Approval (as defined in the Delaware Partnership Agreement (as defined below)) of the Conflicts Committee (as defined in the Delaware Partnership Agreement). As a result of the redomiciliation, among other things, the affairs of the Registrant ceased to be governed by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “DRULPA”) and became subject to the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”); the certificate of limited partnership and Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Registrant (the “Delaware Partnership Agreement”) that were in effect immediately prior to the redomiciliation were replaced by a new certificate of formation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Registrant (the “Texas Partnership Agreement”) approved in connection with the redomiciliation and plan of conversion; and each common unit of the Registrant as a Delaware limited partnership was converted into a common unit of the Registrant as a Texas limited partnership.

Pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the date hereof the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-279982 (the “Registration Statement”), solely to reflect the change in the Registrant’s state of incorporation as a result of the redomiciliation or as necessary to keep the Registration Statement from being misleading in any material respect. The Registration Statement was originally filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 6, 2024. Pursuant to Rule 414(d), the Registrant expressly adopts the Registration Statement, as modified by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, as its own for all purposes of the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as a result of the redomiciliation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The information set forth in this item is incorporated by reference from Item 14 of the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279982), filed with the SEC on June 6, 2024.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

As provided in the Texas Partnership Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, the Registrant will generally indemnify its general partner, officers, directors and affiliates of its general partner to the fullest extent permitted by the law against all losses, claims, damages or similar events; provided, that the indemnitee will not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the indemnitee is seeking indemnification, the indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Chapter 8 of the TBOC shall not apply to the Registrant, any partners or any indemnitee.

To the extent that the indemnification provisions of the Texas Partnership Agreement purport to include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and is therefore unenforceable.

The Registrant also maintains insurance coverage under a policy insuring its directors and officers against certain liabilities which they may incur in their capacity as such.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

II-2

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
