Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
As previously announced, on February 13, 2015, Phillips 66 Partners LP (the "Partnership") entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”), Phillips 66 Company (“P66 Company”), and Phillips 66 Pipeline LLC (“P66 Pipeline”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 (“PSX”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Partnership agreed to acquire from P66 Company and P66 Pipeline certain pipeline interests, each as described in more detail below (the “Pipeline Transaction”):
• | A 19.46% equity interest in Explorer Pipeline Company (“Explorer”), which owns and operates the Explorer Pipeline, an approximately 1,830-mile refined petroleum product pipeline extending from the Texas Gulf Coast to Indiana with a current throughput capacity of approximately 660,000 barrels per day that transports gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and jet fuel to more than 70 major cities in 16 U.S. states. |
• | A 100% equity interest in Phillips 66 Sand Hills LLC, the owner of a one-third equity interest in DCP Sand Hills Pipeline, LLC, which owns the 720-mile, fee-based Sand Hills natural gas liquids (“NGL”) pipeline that transports NGL from plants in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale to facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast and the Mont Belvieu market hub. The Sand Hills NGL pipeline has a current capacity of 200,000 barrels per day. |
• | A 100% equity interest in Phillips 66 Southern Hills LLC, the owner of a one-third equity interest in DCP Southern Hills Pipeline, LLC, which owns the 800-mile, fee-based Southern Hills NGL pipeline that transports NGL from the Midcontinent region to the Mont Belvieu market hub. The Southern Hills NGL pipeline has a current capacity of 175,000 barrels per day. |
The Sand Hills and Southern Hills NGL pipelines are operated by DCP Midstream Partners, LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership formed by DCP Midstream, LLC, which is a joint venture between PSX and Spectra Energy Corp.
The Pipeline Transaction closed on March 2, 2015. Total consideration for the Pipeline Transaction was $1.01 billion, consisting of $880 million in cash; the issuance of 1,587,376 common units of the Partnership ("Common Units") to P66 Company; and the issuance of 139,538 general partner units of the Partnership to the General Partner to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. In connection with the Pipeline Transaction, the Partnership and its subsidiaries entered into the Third Amendment to Omnibus Agreement described below.
The Partnership funded the cash portion of the Pipeline Transaction consideration with a portion of the net proceeds from its recent public offering of 5,250,000 Common Units and a portion of the net proceeds from its recent public offering of senior notes. The public offerings of the Common Units and senior notes are described in more detail in the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2015.
The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Contribution Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 17, 2015, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Omnibus Amendment amends the parties’ existing Omnibus Agreement to, among other things, provide for additional services to be provided to the Partnership by P66 Company in connection with the assets acquired in the Pipeline Transaction and increase the monthly operational and administrative support fee payable by the Partnership to P66 Company from $2,395,000 to $2,474,166.67.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Omnibus Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Relationships
Each of the parties to the various agreements described above is a direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of PSX. As a result, certain individuals, including officers of PSX and officers and directors of the General Partner, serve as officers and/or directors of one or more of such entities. P66 Company currently (as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K) owns 22,525,874 Common Units and 35,217,112 subordinated units of the Partnership ("Subordinated Units"), collectively representing 70.5% of the limited partnership interests in the Partnership based on the number of Common Units and Subordinated Units outstanding as of March 2, 2015. P66 Company also owns an indirect 2% general partner interest in the Partnership and all of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights through its ownership of the General Partner.
