Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 29, 2015, Phillips 66 Partners LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Phillips 66 Gulf Coast Pipeline LLC (“P66 Pipeline”), Phillips 66 Project Development Inc. (“P66 PDI”), Phillips 66 Company (“P66 Company”), and Phillips 66 Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 (“PSX”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Partnership agreed to acquire from P66 Pipeline (the “Transaction”) its 40 percent interest in Bayou Bridge Pipeline, LLC (“Bayou Bridge”). Bayou Bridge is a joint venture in which Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco Logistics Partners each hold a 30 percent interest with Sunoco Logistics serving as operator.
The Bayou Bridge pipeline will deliver crude oil from the Phillips 66 and Sunoco Logistics Partners terminals in Nederland, Texas, to Lake Charles, Louisiana, and on to St. James, Louisiana. Construction is underway on the 30-inch Nederland to Lake Charles segment of pipeline, which is expected to begin commercial operations in first-quarter 2016. The joint venture launched a binding expansion open season on October 1, 2015, to assess additional interest in transportation to refining markets in, and around, the St. James area. The results of the expansion open season will be used to determine the diameter of the pipeline segment to St. James, which is scheduled to commence service in the second half of 2017.
The total consideration for the Transaction will be P66 Pipeline’s cost in the project at closing, which is estimated to be $70 million, which the Partnership will finance one-half with cash; and one-half with equity with the issuance of common units of the Partnership (“Common Units”) to P66 PDI; and the issuance of general partner units of the Partnership to the General Partner to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. The Partnership expects to fund the cash consideration with cash on hand and possibly borrowing under its revolving credit facility. The closing of the Transaction is subject to standard closing conditions and is targeted for December 2015.
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, and subject to certain limitations, the Partnership has agreed to indemnify P66 Company and its affiliates (other than the Partnership and its subsidiaries), directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, the “P66 Company Parties”) for any and all damages resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of the Partnership and for certain other matters. Similarly, P66 Company has agreed to indemnify the Partnership and its subsidiaries and their respective affiliates (other than any of the P66 Company Parties), directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives for any and all damages resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty, agreement or covenant of P66 Company and for certain other matters.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015.
Relationships
Each of the parties to the Contribution Agreement is a direct or indirect subsidiary 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 PDI currently (as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K) owns 57,742,986 Common Units representing a 69.1% limited partner interest in the Partnership based on the number of Common Units outstanding as of October 30, 2015. P66 PDI 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.
