Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on November 9, 2017 by BP Pipelines (North America) Inc. (“BP Pipelines”) and BP Midstream Partners Holdings LLC (“BP Holdco” and, together with BP Pipelines, the “Reporting Persons”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 28, 2017, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 12, 2021 and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 4, 2021 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the common units representing limited partner interests (the “Common Units”) of BP Midstream Partners LP (the “Issuer”). The Schedule 13D shall not be modified except as specifically provided herein.

Item 1.    Security and Issuer
No changes to this Item.

Item 2.    Identity and Background

No changes to this Item.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following paragraph:
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below), the funding for the Merger (as defined below) described in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4 (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference) will consist of American Depositary Shares of BP p.l.c. (“BP ADSs”), as described in Item 4.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following paragraph:

Merger Agreement

On December 19, 2021, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BP p.l.c., (“BP”), BP Holdco, BP Midstream RTMS LLC (“Merger Sub”), and BP Midstream Partners GP LLC (the “General Partner”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BP Holdco (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each outstanding Common Unit (other than Common Units owned by BP and its subsidiaries, including the Reporting Persons) will be canceled and cease to exist in consideration of the right to receive 0.575 BP ADSs (the “Merger Consideration” and such ratio, the “Exchange Ratio”) and (ii) any awards issued under a Partnership Long-Term Incentive Plan (each a “Partnership LTIP Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will cease to relate to or represent any right to receive Common Units and will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, except that the number of the BP ADSs issued shall be equal to the number of Common Units subject to the corresponding Partnership LTIP Award multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole unit. The interests in the Issuer owned by BP and its subsidiaries will remain outstanding as limited partner interests in the surviving entity. The General Partner will continue to own the non-economic general partner interest in the surviving entity.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from the parties, and each party has agreed to certain covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the Merger and (2) the obligation to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated.


13D
CUSIP No. 0556EL 109

Completion of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (1) the receipt of Written Consent (as defined below); (2) there being no law or injunction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement; (3) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the BP ADSs and ordinary shares of BP (“BP Shares”) to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (4) approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of BP ADSs to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (5) approval for listing on the London Stock Exchange and admission to the premium listing segment of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority’s Official List of the BP Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (6) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of certain representations and warranties of the other party; and (7) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants.

Support Agreement

In connection with execution of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer and BP Holdco entered into a Support Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2021 (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which BP Holdco has agreed to deliver a written consent (the “Written Consent”), covering all of the Common Units beneficially owned by it (the “Covered Units”), approving the Merger, Merger Agreement and any other matters necessary for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement. The Support Agreement terminates upon the earliest to occur of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the time the Merger becomes effective and the written agreement of the parties to the Support Agreement to terminate the Support Agreement.

The foregoing summaries of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
