On September 17, 2014, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Jefferies LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriters”).

The Underwriting Agreement provides for the issuance and sale by the Partnership of 7,700,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”) in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) at a price to the public of $48.46 per Common Unit. The Partnership has also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 1,155,000 additional Common Units. The Common Units to be issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-185192).

Affiliates of certain of the Underwriters are lenders under the Partnership’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and, accordingly, will receive a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering through the Partnership’s repayment of borrowings under such facility.

The closing of the Offering occurred on September 22, 2014. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
