Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 1, 2020, CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Seller") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), completed the sale of the outstanding membership interests of Symmetry Energy Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc.) ("CES") (the "Transaction") to Symmetry Energy Solutions Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Athena Energy Services Buyer, LLC) ("Buyer") for approximately $286 million in cash pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, dated February 24, 2020 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and between Seller and Buyer. The $286 million in cash includes adjustments for the estimated working capital at closing, which was lower than previously estimated due primarily to the impacts of changes in commodity prices and impacts related to the timing of close that resulted in less working capital needs at CES. Estimated working capital at closing is subject to customary post-closing review and adjustment. The closing of the sale of CES represents the disposition of substantially all of the businesses within the Company's and Seller's energy services reporting unit.
