On April 28, 2017, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) and Sunoco Logistics Partners (SXL) closed on their previously announced merger, in which SXL acquired ETP. Upon closing of the merger, SXL changed its name to Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. and applied to list its common units on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETP.” Effective with the opening of market on April 28, 2017, ETP ceased to be a publicly traded company and its common units previously listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETP” have been de-listed. Effective with the opening of market on May 1, 2017, SXL common units are expected to begin trading on the NYSE under the new symbol “ETP.” This change is now reflected in the ETP stock price.

In Quicken, I would start with a Corporate Acquisition transaction with SXL acquiring ETP at a 1.5 share ratio. That should generate a Remove Shares of the 618 ETP and a set of Add Shares (total 918 shares) for SXL bringing your SXL holdings to 2253. Step 2 is sort of your choice: Existing ETP acquires SXL at 1:1, or You change ticker from ETP to ETP(old) or similar (deleting old prices) and create a new security (Energy Transfer (new)) with ticker ETP, then have that new security acquire SXL, or You change ticker from ETP to ETP(old) or similar (deleting old prices) and then edit existing SXL to be a new name (Energy Transfers (new)) with a new ticker (ETP). You should backup first, then you can try the various approaches. I would bias to 2 although 3 is slightly more accurate. I think the criteria should consider how the older prices mesh with the newer prices and how such valuations are maintained. #2 should offer a clear history of how you acquired SXL and how its prices changed after that. #3 will show you buying ETP(new) when you really had bought Sunoco, but the prices should all flow correctly. While #1 is simple, it tends to misrepresent the transition from historical ETP to the new ETP/Sunuco After all that is done, you may need to undo the match to online security for the old ETP and create a new match for the new ETP to your brokers info.

If you do step 1 to acquire ETP Old by SXL what price would you use for the value after acquisition? Same question for acquisition of SXL by ETP New?
