Introductory Note

As previously disclosed, on May 7, 2019, Andeavor Logistics LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“ANDX”), Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ANDX GP”), MPLX LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MPLX”), MPLX GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MPLX GP”), and MPLX MAX LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into ANDX (the “Merger”), with ANDX surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX. Both ANDX GP and MPLX GP are indirectly owned by Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“MPC”) and, as a result, MPC controls both ANDX and MPLX.

On July 30, 2019, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Merger was completed. At the effective time of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and ANDX survived the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX.



Item 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, ANDX, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, MPC, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC, Tesoro Companies, Inc., Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, ANDX GP and Marathon Petroleum Company LP entered into the Waiver and Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2019 and effective as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Omnibus Amendment”), amending the Fourth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2017, as amended by the First Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2019 (the “Prior Omnibus Agreement”), to reflect the admission of Andeavor Logistics GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“New ANDX GP”), as the general partner of ANDX and provide that a “Partnership Change of Control” (as such term is defined in the Prior Omnibus Agreement) shall not be deemed to occur unless and until MPC no longer directly or indirectly controls the general partner of ANDX.

The foregoing description of the Omnibus Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Omnibus Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.



Item 1.02	Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 30, 2019, in connection with the closing of the Merger, ANDX terminated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2016, among ANDX, certain subsidiaries of ANDX named therein, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and L/C issuer (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). In connection with the termination of the Revolving Credit Agreement, all outstanding borrowings and unpaid fees and expenses thereunder were paid in full.

On July 30, 2019, in connection with the closing of the Merger, ANDX terminated that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2016, among ANDX, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of ANDX named therein, as guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and L/C issuer (the “Drop-Down Credit Agreement”). In connection with the termination of the Drop-Down Credit Agreement, all outstanding borrowings and unpaid fees and expenses thereunder were paid in full.

On July 30, 2019, in connection with the closing of the Merger, ANDX and MPC terminated that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2018, between ANDX and MPC (the “Loan Agreement”). In connection with the termination of the Loan Agreement, all borrowings and unpaid fees and expenses thereunder were paid in full.



Item 2.01	Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding common unit representing a limited partner interest in ANDX (each, an “ANDX Common Unit”), other than any ANDX Common Unit held by ANDX GP and Western Refining Southwest, Inc., an Arizona corporation and affiliate of ANDX (“Southwest”), was converted into the right to receive 1.135 common units representing limited partner interests in MPLX (“MPLX Common Units” and such exchange ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”), and each ANDX Common Unit held by ANDX GP and Southwest was converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX Common Units, in each case, in consideration for each ANDX Common Unit that such holder owned immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Additionally, each 6.875% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Unit, liquidation preference $1,000 per unit, representing a limited partner interest in ANDX (each, an “ANDX Series A Preferred Unit”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive a new Series B Preferred Unit representing a substantially equivalent limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX Series B Preferred Units”). The MPLX Series B Preferred Units are a new class of units in MPLX that are pari passu with MPLX’s existing Series A Convertible Preferred Units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation and have substantially equivalent preferences, rights, powers, duties and obligations that the ANDX Series A Preferred Units had immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.

At the effective time of the Merger, each phantom unit outstanding under ANDX’s 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, and the Western Refining Logistics, LP 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “ANDX Phantom Units”), whether vested or unvested, other than any ANDX Phantom Unit that was held by a non-employee director of ANDX GP (each, an “ANDX Director Phantom Unit”), were automatically converted into a phantom unit denominated in MPLX Common Units (each, a “Converted MPLX Phantom Unit”). The number of ANDX Common Units subject to the ANDX Phantom Units immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were converted into a number of MPLX Common Units subject to the Converted MPLX Phantom Units based on the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number). ANDX Director Phantom Units were generally converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the number of ANDX Common Units subject to such ANDX Director Phantom Unit multiplied by the product of the Exchange Ratio and the average of the volume weighted average price per unit of MPLX Common Units on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on each of the ten consecutive trading days ending with the complete trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.

Additionally, as a result of the Merger, each ANDX TexNew Mex Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Southwest, as the holder of all such units, to receive a unit representing a substantially equivalent special limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX TexNew Mex Units”). By virtue of the conversion, all ANDX TexNew Mex Units were cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger. The MPLX TexNew Mex Units are a new class of units in MPLX substantially equivalent to the ANDX TexNew Mex Units, including substantially equivalent rights, powers, duties and obligations that the ANDX TexNew Mex Units had immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Southwest, as the holder of all such interest, to receive a substantially equivalent special limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX Special Limited Partner Interest”). By virtue of the conversion, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest was cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger.

The issuance of MPLX Common Units and MPLX Series B Preferred Units in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to MPLX’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-231798) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2019, and as amended on June 24, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). The consent statement/prospectus (the “Consent Statement/Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement contains additional information about the Merger, and incorporates by reference additional information about the Merger from Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by MPLX and ANDX and incorporated by reference into the Consent Statement/Prospectus.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.



Item 3.01	Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, ANDX notified the NYSE that trading in ANDX Common Units should be suspended and listing of ANDX Common Units on the NYSE should be removed. Trading of ANDX Common Units on the NYSE was suspended prior to the opening of business on July 30, 2019. ANDX also requested that the NYSE file with the SEC an application on Form 25 to delist and deregister ANDX Common Units under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 5.07	Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed, the board of directors of ANDX GP set June 28, 2019 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining holders of ANDX Common Units entitled to execute and deliver written consents with respect to the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger.
