Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
(e) LTIP Amendment
On December 30, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of LE GP, LLC (the
"General Partner"), the general partner of Energy Transfer LP ("ET"), approved
and adopted the Second Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Amended and Restated
Energy Transfer LP Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the "ET Plan"). The
Amendment amends the ET Plan to increase the number of ET common units that may
be delivered with respect to awards granted under the Plan by 35,000,000.
The ET Plan was adopted in December 2017 and authorizes the ET Compensation
Committee, in its discretion, to grant awards of restricted units, phantom
units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and other awards related to ET
common units upon such terms and conditions as it may determine appropriate and
in accordance with general guidelines as defined by the ET Plan.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in
its entirety to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by
reference.
Cash Restricted Unit Plan
On December 30, 2020, the Board also adopted the Energy Transfer LP Long-Term
Cash Restricted Unit Plan (the "CRU Plan"). The CRU Plan is intended to provide
cash incentive awards based on the value of the ET common units to certain
employees and directors of the General Partner, ET and their affiliates and
subsidiaries (the "ET Group"), although all awards will be settled in the form
of cash. Each award, or unit, will be equal to the value of one ET common unit.
The CRU Plan will be administered by the ET Compensation Committee.
Unless otherwise provided within an individual award agreement, the CRU Plan
provides for the following: (1) each award will vest in three equal installments
on the first, second and third December 5th following the grant date of the
award; (2) in the event that the individual's employment or service relationship
with the ET Group is terminated due to death or disability, the award will
receive accelerated vesting and will pay out in connection with the applicable
termination of employment; and (3) if the individual's employment or service
relationship is terminated for any other reason, all unvested awards will
automatically be forfeited without consideration. In the event that a Change in
Control (defined below) occurs, each award will receive accelerated vesting. The
CRU Plan generally defines the term "Change in Control" as one or more of the
following events: (a) any person or group (other than affiliates of the General
Partner) becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting
power of the General Partner's equity securities by way of a merger,
consolidation, recapitalization or otherwise; (b) the members of the General
Partner approve a plan of complete liquidation of the General Partner; (c) the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the General Partner's
assets to any person other than the General Partner or its affiliates; or (d) a
person other than the General Partner (or an affiliate of the General Partner)
becomes the general partner of ET.
The foregoing description of the CRU Plan is not complete and is qualified in
its entirety to the full text of the CRU Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by
reference. The form of cash award agreement under the CRU Plan is filed as
Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item
5.02 by reference.
