Liquidation of Investment in Energy Transfer Equity

The Other Investments segment included our noncontrolling ownership interest in Energy Transfer Equity, which was accounted for using the equity method until January 18, 2012.

At December 31, 2011, we owned 29,303,514 common units of Energy Transfer Equity representing 13.1% of its limited partner interests.  On January 18, 2012, we sold 22,762,636 of these common units in a private transaction, which generated cash proceeds of $825.1 million and a gain on the sale of $27.5 million. As a result of the January 18 transaction, our ownership interest in Energy Transfer Equity was reduced below 3%, and we discontinued using the equity method to account for this investment and began accounting for it as an investment in available-for-sale equity securities.  Following the January 18, 2012 transaction, we sold an additional 3,569,232 Energy Transfer Equity common units through March 31, 2012, which generated cash proceeds of $150.8 million and gains on these sales totaling $25.8 million.  The $53.3 million of aggregate gains on the first quarter of 2012 sales are a component of "Other income" on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.  We liquidated our remaining investment in Energy Transfer Equity by April 27, 2012.

All activities included in our former sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our investment in Energy Transfer Equity.  See Note 11 for additional information regarding our business segments.
