Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

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.

In exchange for the pipeline equity interests acquired by the Partnership in the Pipeline Transaction, P66 Company will receive total consideration of approximately $1.01 billion, consisting of approximately $880 million in cash and the issuance of 1,726,914 newly issued PSXP units, to be allocated between common units to P66 Company and general partner units in a proportion allowing the General Partner to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership.

The Pipeline Transaction is expected to close in early March 2015. The closing of the Pipeline Transaction is subject to standard closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Contribution Agreement; (ii) the performance by each party of its respective obligations under the Contribution Agreement; (iii) the absence of any legal proceeding or order by a governmental authority restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Pipeline Transaction; (iv) the

absence of a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the interests to be acquired in the Pipeline Transaction; (v) the execution of certain agreements and delivery of certain documents related to the consummation of the Pipeline Transaction, including an amendment to the Partnership’s existing omnibus agreement with P66 Company; and (vi) the receipt by the Partnership of sufficient proceeds from financing arrangements to pay the cash consideration payable by the Partnership in the Pipeline Transaction.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, and subject to certain limitations, the Partnership has agreed to indemnify P66 Company, P66 Pipeline and their respective 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 and P66 Pipeline have agreed to indemnify the Partnership, its subsidiaries and its 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 or P66 Pipeline 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 is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

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 Company currently (as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K) owns 20,938,498 Common Units and 35,217,112 subordinated units of the Partnership (“Subordinated Units”), collectively representing a 73.3% limited partner interest in the Partnership based on the number of Common Units and Subordinated Units outstanding as of February 13, 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.

The terms of the Contribution Agreement were approved on behalf of the Partnership by the conflicts committee and the board of directors of the General Partner. The conflicts committee, which is comprised of independent members of the board of directors of the General Partner, retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the Pipeline Transaction. In approving the terms of the Pipeline Transaction, the conflicts committee based its decision in part on an opinion from the independent financial advisor that the consideration to be paid by the Partnership pursuant to the Contribution Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Common Units unaffiliated with P66 Company and its affiliates.
