Subsidiary Indebtedness
ET-ETO Senior Notes Exchange
In February 2019, ETO commenced offers to exchange all of ET’s outstanding senior notes for senior notes issued by ETO (the “ET-ETO senior notes exchange”).  Approximately 97% of ET’s outstanding senior notes were tendered and accepted, and substantially all the exchanges settled on March 25, 2019. Following the exchange, the ET senior notes that were not tendered and remain outstanding as of June 30, 2019 were as follows:
$52 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior notes due 2020;
$5 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due 2023;
$23 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2024; and
$44 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2027.
In connection with the exchange, ETO issued approximately $4.21 billion aggregate principal amount of the following senior notes:
$1.14 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.50% senior notes due 2020;
$995 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due 2023;
$1.13 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2024; and
$956 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2027.
The senior notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended).  ETO may redeem some or all of the senior notes at any time, or from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture and related indenture supplements related to the senior notes. The principal on the senior notes is payable upon maturity and interest is paid semi-annually.
The senior notes rank equally in right of payment with ETO’s existing and future senior debt, and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt ETO may incur.  The notes of each series will initially be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our subsidiary, Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P., on a senior unsecured basis so long as it guarantees any of our other long-term debt. The guarantee for each series of notes ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior debt of Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P., including its senior notes.

The senior notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended).  ETO may redeem some or all of the senior notes at any time, or from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture and related indenture supplements related to the senior notes.
