On June 23, 2014, Tesoro Logistics LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro”), Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC (“TRMC”), Tesoro Alaska Company LLC (“TAC”), Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), Tesoro Logistics Operations LLC (the “Operating Company”) and Tesoro Logistics Pipelines LLC (“TLP”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Tesoro, TRMC and TAC agreed to contribute, through the General Partner and the Partnership to the Operating Company or TLP, as applicable, the assets described below (the “Assets”):

The consideration for the Assets will total approximately $270 million. The contribution pursuant to the Contribution Agreement will be made in two stages.

In the first stage that was completed on July 1, 2014, TRMC and TAC contributed the Nikiski Assets, the Anacortes Assets and the Martinez Assets to the General Partner in exchange for additional membership interests in the General Partner. The General Partner contributed such assets to the Partnership in consideration of the receipt by the General Partner of $214.4 million from the Partnership in cash, partly financed with borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, and the issuance of equity securities of the Partnership with a combined fair value of $27 million. The equity was comprised of a sufficient number of general partner units to maintain the General Partner’s 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and the remainder in common units. The Partnership then contributed such assets to the Operating Company.

In the second stage, upon receiving the required regulatory approval from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to contribute the TAPC Equity, Tesoro will contribute the TAPC Equity to the General Partner in exchange for additional membership interests in the General Partner. The General Partner will contribute such assets to the Partnership in consideration of the receipt by the General Partner of $28.6 million in cash, which may be partly financed with borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The Partnership will then contribute the TAPC Equity to the Operating Company and the Operating Company will contribute the TAPC Equity to TLP, each as a capital contribution.

On July 1, 2014, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, TAC, TRMC, the General Partner, the Partnership and the Operating Company, as applicable, entered into the following agreements, and for the agreements to which the General Partner and the Partnership are parties (other than the Omnibus Agreement and Secondment Agreement, each as defined and discussed below), the General Partner and the Partnership are parties to such agreements solely to facilitate the contribution of commercial rights to the Operating Company.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
