CEO Succession and Strategic Organizational
Realignment
Management Structure after Reorganization
CEO succession effective February 10, 2012:
Clark C. Smith, Buckeyes President and Chief Operating Officer,
to succeed Forrest E. Wylie as Chief Executive Officer, and will
join the Board of Directors of Buckeyes general partner.
Forrest E. Wylie to continue to serve as Non-Executive
Chairman of the Board, where he will remain active in developing
our strategic vision.
Strategic Organizational Realignment, effective January 16,
2012; Buckeye operations organized into three business
units, each headed by a President.
Domestic Pipelines and Terminals
International Pipelines and Terminals
Buckeye Services
Board of Directors
Forrest E. Wylie, Chairman
Clark C. Smith

Strategic Organizational Realignment rationale:
Previous structure organized around functions (e.g.,
commercial, operations, etc.).
Growth has resulted in increased complexities in each of
Buckeyes business areas, requiring focus and ownership
of skilled executives on daily basis.
Allows business unit Presidents to focus on all aspects
of performance -
including commercial, operational and
financial performance -
of their respective business unit.
Presidents of business units accountable for overall
performance of those units.

Long-Term Vision
Connecting the Dots
Global supply locations and product flows are shifting
Recent announcements of Northeast U.S. and
Caribbean refinery shutdowns have created a
need for new sources of product supply
New global refining capacity coming online will
seek deficit markets
Buckeye recognized the need to further accommodate
waterborne refined product imports into the Northeast
U.S.
A component of the BORCO investment thesis
was to help facilitate product flow into the
Buckeye system in PADD I
BORCO and Perth Amboy are two key components of a
long-term strategy:
Create a more fully integrated and flexible system
that offers unparalleled connectivity and service
capabilities
Execution on this strategy will continue to differentiate
Buckeyes service offerings and provide sustainability
and optionality for further growth in our core businesses

Our pending acquisition of Perth Amboy Terminal may not be
consummated
Risks Related to Consummation of Perth Amboy Acquisition
Our
pending
acquisition
of
the
Perth
Amboy
Terminal
may
not
be
consummated.
Our
pending
acquisition
of
the
Perth
Amboy
Terminal
is
expected
to
close
in
the
second quarter of 2012 and is subject to closing conditions and regulatory
approvals. If these conditions and regulatory approvals are not satisfied or waived, the acquisition will not
be consummated. If the closing of the acquisition is substantially delayed or
does not occur at all, or if the terms of the acquisition are required to be modified substantially due to
regulatory concerns, we may not realize the anticipated benefits
of the acquisition fully or at all. Certain of the conditions remaining to be
satisfied include: In addition, the Perth Amboy Purchase and Sale
Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement of the parties thereto or as follows (i) by either Chevron or Buckeye, if the
acquisition has not closed on or before June 30, 2012; provided,
however that if the HSWA Permit has not been released for public comment on or
before March 31, 2012, then Chevron shall not have the right to terminate
the Purchase and Sale Agreement unless the acquisition has not closed on or before
July 31, 2012 (in each case, subject to a 30-day
extension to give effect to certain cure periods), (ii) by either Chevron or
Buckeye, if the other party has materially breached its obligations under
the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which breaches have not been cured
within the applicable time frame or that by their nature cannot be cured, (iii) by either Chevron or Buckeye, if any statute, rule or regulation
makes consummation of the acquisition illegal or otherwise prohibited, or if any
order, decree, ruling or other action by any governmental authority permanently restraining, enjoining
or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the acquisition has
become final and non-appealable, (iv) by Chevron, if Buckeye conducts
internal inspections of out of service tanks on the Facility, retains or
utilizes the services of a New Jersey licensed site remediation professional or has any communications with any governmental authority with respect to the
assets subject to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (other than pursuant to the
HSR Act or solely in anticipation of the transfer of the assets to Buckeye at the closing), (v) by Buckeye,
upon the occurrence of a Material Discovery or a Material Adverse Change,
subject to certain cure rights of Chevron, (vi) by Chevron, upon its reasonable determination that a
Material Discovery relating to environmental liabilities cannot be cured or
remediated using reasonable methods or resources, (vii) by either Chevron or Buckeye, upon the occurrence
of certain damage to, or destruction or condemnation of, the assets subject to
the Purchase and Sale Agreement not constituting a Material Adverse Change, subject to certain cure
rights of Chevron, and (viii) by Chevron, if it determines in its sole
discretion that the HSWA Permit is not satisfactory.
the issuance by the United States Environmental Protection Agency of an amended
hazardous and solid waste permit (the HSWA Permit) on terms satisfactory to Chevron
in its sole discretion;
the grant of a legal subdivision of certain real property to be retained by
Chevron;
the absence of any damage to, or destruction or condemnation of,
the assets subject to the Purchase and Sale Agreement which reduces the
economic value of such assets by $20,000,000 or more (a Material
Adverse Change); or, if any Material Adverse Change has occurred, the cure or other mutually agreeable resolution thereof;
the absence of certain factual discoveries by Buckeye of certain

Basis of Representation; Explanation of NonGAAP Measures
Buckeyes equity-funded merger with Buckeye GP Holdings L.P.
(BGH) in the fourth quarter of 2010 has been treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. As a result, the historical results
presented herein for periods prior to the completion of the merger are those of
BGH, and the diluted weighted average number of limited partnership (LP) units outstanding increased from
20.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 44.3 million in the fourth quarter
of 2010. Additionally, Buckeye incurred a non-cash charge to compensation expense of $21.1 million in the fourth quarter
of 2010 as a result of a distribution of LP units owned by BGH GP Holdings, LLC
to certain officers of Buckeye, which triggered a revaluation of an equity incentive plan that had been instituted
in 2007.
EBITDA, a measure not defined under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), is defined by Buckeye as net income attributable to Buckeyes unitholders before interest and debt
expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. The EBITDA measure
eliminates the significant level of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital
-intensive nature of Buckeyes businesses and from intangible assets
recognized in business combinations. In addition, EBITDA is unaffected by Buckeyes capital structure due to the elimination of
interest and debt expense and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA, which also is a
non-GAAP measure, is defined by Buckeye as EBITDA plus: (i) non-cash deferred lease expense, which is the difference
between the estimated annual land lease expense for Buckeyes natural gas
storage facility in the Natural Gas Storage segment to be recorded under GAAP and the actual cash to be paid for such annual
land lease; (ii) non-cash unit-based compensation expense; (iii) the
2009 non-cash impairment expense related to the natural gas liquids pipeline that Buckeye sold in January 2010 (the Buckeye NGL
Pipeline); (iv) the 2009 expense for organizational restructuring (the
Organizational Restructuring Expense); (v) the 2010 non-cash BGH GP Holdings, LLC equity plan modification expense (the
Equity Plan Modification Expense); (vi) income attributable to
noncontrolling interests related to Buckeye for periods prior to the merger of Buckeye and BGH (the Merger); and (vii) the goodwill
impairment expense associated with Lodi Gas Storage, L.L.C. (Lodi);
less: (i) amortization of unfavorable storage contracts acquired in connection with the acquisition of Bahamas Oil Refining
Company International (BORCO); and (ii) gain on the sale of our
equity interest in West Texas LPG limited partnership (WT LPG). The EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA data presented may not
be directly comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies because
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some items that affect net income attributable to Buckeyes unitholders, and
these measures may be defined differently by other companies. Management of
Buckeye uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of
the business segments and to allocate resources and capital to the business
segments. In addition, Buckeyes management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure to evaluate the viability of
proposed projects and to determine overall rates of return on alternative
investment opportunities.
Distributable cash flow, which is a financial measure included in the schedules
to this press release, is another measure not defined under GAAP. Distributable cash flow is defined by Buckeye as net
income attributable to Buckeyes unitholders plus: (i) depreciation and
amortization expense; (ii) noncontrolling interests related to Buckeye that were eliminated as a result of the Merger; (iii) deferred
lease expense for Buckeyes Natural Gas Storage segment; (iv)
unit-based compensation expense; (v) goodwill impairment expense associated with Lodi; (vi) write-off of deferred financing costs; (vii)
amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts (all of which are
non-cash expense); (viii) Equity Plan Modification Expense; (ix) the Buckeye NGL Pipeline impairment expense; (x) the
senior administrative charge; and (xi) the Organizational Restructuring Expense
(items (i) through (x) of which are non-cash expense); less: (i) maintenance capital expenditures; (ii) amortization of
unfavorable storage contracts acquired in the BORCO acquisition; and (iii) gain
on the sale of our equity investment in WTLPG. Buckeyes management believes that distributable cash flow is useful to
investors because it removes non-cash items from net income and provides a
clearer picture of Buckeyes cash available for distribution to its unitholders.
This presentation references forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA
investment multiples projected to be generated by the Perth Amboy terminal. A reconciliation of estimated Adjusted
EBITDA to GAAP net income is not provided because GAAP net income generated by
the Perth Amboy terminal for the applicable periods is not accessible. Buckeye has not yet completed the
necessary valuation of the various assets to be acquired, a determination of the
useful lives of these assets for accounting purposes, or an allocation of the purchase price among the various types of
assets. In addition, interest and debt expense is a
corporate-level expense that is not allocated among Buckeyes segments and could not be allocated to the Perth Amboy terminal operations without
unreasonable effort. Accordingly, the amount of depreciation and
amortization and interest and debt expense that will be included in the additional net income generated as a result of the acquisition of
the Perth Amboy terminal is not accessible or estimable at this time. The
amount of such additional resulting depreciation and amortization and applicable interest and debt expense could be
significant, such that the amount of additional net income would vary
substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted EBITDA. This presentation also references forward-looking estimates of
Adjusted EBITDA projected to be generated by expansion activities at BORCO.
Reconciliations to GAAP net income are not provided because GAAP net income connected to such expansion
activities for the applicable periods is not accessible. Interest and debt
expense is a corporate-level expense that is not allocated among Buckeyes segments and could not be allocated to the BORCO
expansion without unreasonable effort. Accordingly, the amount of debt
expense that will be included in the additional net income generated as a result of the BORCO expansion is not accessible or
estimable at this time. The amount of applicable interest and debt expense
could be significant, such that the amount of net income would vary substantially from the amount of projected Adjusted
EBITDA.
Buckeye believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial
measures used by Buckeyes management. Further, Buckeye believes that these measures are useful to
investors because they are one of the bases for comparing Buckeyes
operating performance with that of other companies with similar operations, although Buckeyes measures may not
be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies.
