Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 9, 2010, Ralph S. Cunningham resigned from the Board of Directors of LE GP, LLC (“LE GP”), the general partner of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (the “Partnership”), effective immediately. Dr. Cunningham’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.
Dr. Cunningham is a Director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of EPE Holdings, LLC (“EPE Holdings”), which is the general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings, L.P. (“EPE”). EPE owns approximately 17.5% of the outstanding common units of the Partnership and a non-controlling membership interest in LE GP. EPE has no contractual right to appoint a director to the LE GP board and, therefore, no replacement for Dr. Cunningham is currently expected to be named following his resignation from the LE GP board.
