DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 11, 2017-- Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) today announced that its new distribution reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) is now open for enrollment for owners of its common units. The Plan became effective with ETP’s filing of its Form S-3 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 11, 2017.

Highlights of ETP’s Plan are:

• Both unitholders of record and beneficial owners of ETP’s common units may participate. Beneficial owners may participate by having their broker participate on their behalf.
• Additional common units may be purchased by reinvesting all or a portion of the cash distributions paid on the common units.
• Common units purchased through the Plan will be at a discount ranging from 0% to 5% (currently set at 2.50%) and an investor will not pay any service fees, brokerage trading fees or other charges. If investors participate in the Plan through their brokers, they should consult with their brokers; their brokers may charge a service fee for participating on their behalf.

Participation in the Plan is voluntary and if an owner of common units elects to participate in the Plan, the owner may terminate his or her participation in the Plan at any time. An owner should read carefully the prospectus describing the Plan before deciding to participate in the Plan.
