Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Current Report on Form 8-K to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of EPE Holdings, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

As described in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (“Enterprise GP Holdings”) acquired ownership interests in TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (“TEPPCO”) and its general partner, TEPPCO GP (including associated TEPPCO incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”)) on May 7, 2007 from private company affiliates of EPCO, Inc. (“EPCO”) that are under common control with Enterprise GP Holdings. Such ownership interests were initially acquired by an affiliate of EPCO in February 2005. Since Enterprise GP Holdings and the private company affiliates of EPCO are under the common control of Dan L. Duncan, the acquisition of ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP was accounted for at historical costs as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. In conjunction with the acquisition of ownership interests in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP, effective with the second quarter ended June 30, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings also adopted new business segments to reflect, in part, such acquisitions.

 

As a result, in this Form 8-K, the December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet and notes of EPE Holdings, LLC, which are included in Enterprise GP Holdings’ Form 8-K filed on March 22, 2007, have been restated to reflect (i) the consolidated financial information of TEPPCO GP and subsidiaries, which includes TEPPCO and (ii) Enterprise GP Holdings’ new business segments. We have also revised certain other disclosures to reflect Enterprise GP Holdings’ expanded operations.

 

As discussed under Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Balance Sheet, Enterprise GP Holdings acquired non-controlling ownership interests in Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“Energy Transfer Equity”) and its general partner LE GP, LLC (“ETEGP”) on May 7, 2007. The acquisition of these ownership interests are not reflected in the restated balance sheet included in this Form 8-K.

 

As presented under Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Balance Sheet, material subsequent events have occurred since December 31, 2006 that directly affect Enterprise GP Holdings. This Form 8-K does not include information related to the following material subsequent events that affect Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise Products Partners”) and TEPPCO or any of their respective subsidiaries:
