Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on June 1, 2012, David R. Albin resigned from the Board of Directors of LE GP, LLC (“LE GP”), the general partner of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (the “Partnership”), effective on June 1, 2012. Mr. Albin's decision to resign from the board of LE GP was not due to any disagreement with the Partnership or LE GP relating to the operations, practices or policies of the Partnership. Mr. Albin served on the Audit Committee of the LE GP Board of Directors.
On June 7, 2012, the Partnership notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that it was deficient in meeting Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual due to Mr. Albin's departure from the Audit Committee. On July 11, 2012, the Partnership received a letter from the NYSE notifying the Partnership that it is deficient in meeting the requirements of Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. In order to cure the deficiency, the LE GP Board of Directors has elected a new member to its Audit Committee effective as of July 17, 2012.
