Explanatory Note

On July 6, 2026, Energy Transfer LP (the "Registrant") changed its state of domicile from the State of Delaware to the State of Texas pursuant to a plan of conversion. This redomiciliation was approved by the board of directors of the general partner in reliance in part on the recommendation and Special Approval (as defined in the Delaware Partnership Agreement (as defined below)) of the Conflicts Committee (as defined in the Delaware Partnership Agreement). As a result of the redomiciliation, among other things, the affairs of the Registrant ceased to be governed by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and became subject to the Texas Business Organizations Code (the "TBOC"); the certificate of limited partnership and Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Registrant (the "Delaware Partnership Agreement") that were in effect immediately prior to the redomiciliation were replaced by a new certificate of formation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas and the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Registrant (the "Texas Partnership Agreement") approved in connection with the redomiciliation and plan of conversion; and each common unit of the Registrant as a Delaware limited partnership was converted into a common unit of the Registrant as a Texas limited partnership.

Pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on the date hereof the Registrant is filing these Post-Effective Amendments (the "Amendments") to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 of the Registrant (collectively, the "Registration Statements"), solely to reflect the change in the Registrant's state of domicile as a result of the redomiciliation or as necessary to keep the Registration Statements from being misleading in any material respect:

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-251923), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on January 6, 2021;

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-261502), filed with the SEC on December 6, 2021; and

•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-275904), filed with the SEC on December 6, 2023.

Pursuant to Rule 414(d), the Registrant expressly adopts the Registration Statements, as modified by these Amendments, as its own for all purposes of the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as a result of the redomiciliation.

All documents that the Registrant subsequently files pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof (except for any portions of the Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 thereof and any corresponding exhibits thereto not filed with the SEC) and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment hereto indicating that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Item 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

As provided in the Texas Partnership Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, the Registrant will generally indemnify its general partner, officers, directors and affiliates of its general partner to the fullest extent permitted by law against all losses, claims, damages or similar events; provided, that the indemnitee will not be indemnified and held harmless if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the indemnitee is seeking indemnification, the indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, or in the case of a criminal matter, acted with knowledge that the indemnitee's conduct was unlawful. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Chapter 8 of the TBOC shall not apply to the Registrant, any partners or any indemnitee.

To the extent that the indemnification provisions of the Texas Partnership Agreement purport to include indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is contrary to public policy and is therefore unenforceable.

The Registrant also maintains insurance coverage under a policy insuring its directors and officers against certain liabilities which they may incur in their capacity as such.

Item 7.

Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statements or any material change to such information in the Registration Statements;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
