(f)
All of the individuals listed in this Item 2 are citizens of the United States of America.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
As described in response to Item 4, the Common Units to which Amendment No. 2 relates have not been purchased by the Reporting Persons as of the date of this filing, and thus no funds were used for this purpose.
The aggregate purchase price for the Common Units is estimated to be approximately $280 million, at a price of $20.00 per Common Unit. All of the funds required to acquire the Common Units are expected to be obtained from ETP’s cash on hand and/or borrowings under ETP’s credit facilities, as described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 18, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”), which is included as Exhibit C hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
On May 17, 2017, the board of directors of the general partner of ETP’s general partner directed management of ETP to pursue a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding Common Units of PennTex Midstream Partners, LP (“PennTex”). The Tender Offer was announced on May 18, 2017 pursuant to the Offer to Purchase filed by ETP as part of a statement in the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on May 18, 2017 (together with all other exhibits thereto, and as amended, the “Schedule TO”). The Offer to Purchase, letter of transmittal and related documents were mailed to unitholders of record of PennTex on May 18, 2017.
Prior to the announcement of the Tender Offer, ETP owned 6,701,596 Common Units, representing approximately 32.35% of the outstanding Common Units. The purpose of the Tender Offer is to acquire for cash as many outstanding Common Units as possible as a first step in acquiring all of the equity interests in PennTex not already owned by ETP. Assuming that ETP does not waive the minimum tender condition (as described below) or, if that condition is waived, that ETP and its affiliates own more than 80% of the Common Units after the Tender Offer is completed, the second step in the transaction is the exercise of its limited call right (as described below), which ETP is committing to exercise. If the Tender Offer is successfully completed and ETP exercises the limited call right, PennTex will be a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP.
The Tender Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the valid tender of sufficient Common Units, such that, following the closing of the Tender Offer, ETP and its affiliates own greater than 80% of the outstanding Common Units (the “minimum tender condition”). If the minimum tender condition is satisfied and the Tender Offer is successfully completed, ETP will exercise the limited call right under Article

13



XV of the PennTex Partnership Agreement to acquire any remaining Common Units not owned by it for at least the same price per Common Unit paid pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is not subject to a financing condition.
If the Tender Offer is consummated and ETP causes the limited call right to be exercised, there will be no public market for the Common Units and no holders of the Common Units other than ETP, and the Common Units will be delisted from the Nasdaq and deregistered under the Exchange Act. The foregoing is a summary of the Tender Offer and should not be construed as an offer to purchase any Common Units. The Tender Offer is being made by means of ETP’s Schedule TO, filed with the SEC on May 18, 2017.
ETP filed the information required by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, which is applicable to certain “going private” transactions, with the SEC on May 18, 2017 to provide the required information to holders of the Common Units. If the transaction, including the exercise of the limited call right, is successfully completed, PennTex would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ETP, and ETP would expect to amend and restate the certificate of limited partnership and agreement of limited partnership of PennTex to make such changes it deems necessary or appropriate.
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the transaction described above, ETP has no plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a)-(b)
As set forth herein, Warren has shared voting and dispositive power over 26,701,596 Units beneficially owned by LE GP, representing approximately 65.58% of the total issued and outstanding Units. Warren is the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of ETP LLC and Chairman of the Board of LE GP and owns an 81.2% equity interest in LE GP. LE GP is the general partner of ETE, which is the sole member of ETP LLC, which is the general partner of ETP GP, which is the general partner of ETP, which directly owns 3,039,577 Common Units, 7,500,000 Subordinated Units and 7.5% of the membership interests in PennTex GP and is the sole member of PennTex Midstream, which directly owns 3,262,019 Common Units, 12,500,000 Subordinated Units and 92.5% of the membership interests in PennTex GP. Accordingly, ETP directly owns 10,939,577 Units and indirectly owns 15,762,019 Units.
LE GP holds no Units directly, but is the general partner of ETE. Therefore, both Warren and LE GP have an indirect beneficial ownership of the 26,701,596 Units, representing approximately 65.58% of the outstanding Units, owned directly and indirectly by ETP. As set forth herein, LE GP, as general partner of ETE, has shared voting power over the 26,701,596 Units owned directly and indirectly by ETP.
ETE holds no Units directly, but is sole member of ETP LLC, and as such has an indirect beneficial ownership of the 26,701,596 Units, representing approximately 65.58% of the outstanding Units, owned directly and indirectly by ETP. As set forth herein, ETE, as the sole member of ETP LLC, has shared voting and dispositive power over the 26,701,596 Units owned directly and indirectly by ETP.

As set forth herein, ETP GP, as the general partner of ETP, has shared voting and dispositive power over the 26,701,596 Units owned directly and indirectly by ETP.
ETP holds directly 10,939,577 Units, representing approximately 26.9 % of the outstanding Units. ETP is the sole member of PennTex Midstream, and as such has an indirect beneficial ownership of the 15,762,019 Units owned directly by PennTex Midstream. ETP’s direct and indirect ownership of the Units represents approximately 65.58% of the outstanding Units. As set forth herein, ETP has shared voting and dispositive power over the 10,939,577 Units directly owned and 15,762,019 Units indirectly owned by it.
PennTex Midstream holds directly 15,762,019 Units, and as such has a direct beneficial ownership of the 15,762,019 Units, representing approximately 38.7% of the outstanding Units. As set forth herein, PennTex Midstream is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ETP, and therefore PennTex Midstream has shared voting and dispositive power over the 15,762,019 Units directly owned by it.
The aforementioned ownership amounts of Units by the Reporting Persons are as of May 1, 2017, the most recent practicable date for this filing of this Amendment No. 2.

The Subordinated Units may be converted into Common Units on a one-for-one basis after expiration of the subordination period, as described in PennTex Partnership Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein. The Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations set forth in this Amendment No. 2.
(c)
Except for the acquisitions of Units described in Item 3 above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons named in response to paragraph (a) above has effected any transaction in Units during the past 60 days, except for the acquisition of beneficial ownership of units being reported on this Schedule 13D.
