This is a routine succession filing for a preferred-stock holder. Monitor the final retirement date and any future 8-Ks for McCrea's actual departure and the final number of accelerated units, but no immediate trading action is warranted for ET-PI.

Executive Summary
Energy Transfer LP filed an 8-K announcing that Co-CEO Marshall S. (Mackie) McCrea III intends to retire by December 31, 2026. He will remain Co-CEO and on the Board until retirement, then continue on the Board. Co-CEO Thomas E. Long will become sole CEO upon McCrea's retirement. The filing includes accelerated equity vesting and a separation agreement with standard restrictive covenants. For the preferred units (ET-PI), this is a routine leadership transition with no credit-material changes.
Key Facts

- McCrea will continue as Co-CEO and Board member until retirement, then remain on the Board.

Financial Impact
No financial figures disclosed; equity acceleration details are contingent on final retirement date and Board service.
Risk Factors
- Potential distraction during leadership transition, though Long's continued presence as Co-CEO mitigates this.
- Equity acceleration could result in modest dilution, but amounts are undisclosed and likely immaterial for the preferred.
