Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 3 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 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 12, 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:
In connection with the transaction proposed by the Proposal described in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 3 (which Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference), the Reporting Persons anticipate that the funding for such transaction 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:
On August 4, 2021, BP Holdco submitted a proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Board of Directors of the General Partner to acquire, in a merger transaction, all of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Units not already owned by BP Holdco and its affiliates, in exchange for a to-be-determined fixed exchange ratio, at a value of $13.01 per Common Unit payable in BP ADSs. The Proposal is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and the requisite approvals. If the transaction contemplated by the Proposal is consummated, the Common Units are expected to be delisted from The New York Stock Exchange.
While the Proposal remains under consideration and subject to negotiation, the Reporting Persons and their representatives may respond to inquiries from the Issuer and its representatives and engage in discussions and negotiations.
No assurances can be given that the transaction contemplated by BP Pipelines or any other potential transaction involving BP Pipelines and the Issuer will be consummated, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. BP Pipelines reserves the right to modify or withdraw the Proposal at any time. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate other plans or make other proposals which could result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and to modify or withdraw any such plan or proposal at any time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) BP Pipelines does not directly own any Common Units; however, as the sole member of BP Holdco, it may be deemed to beneficially own 56,956,712 Common Units held of record by BP Holdco, which represents approximately 54.4% of the outstanding Common Units of the Partnership.
1.BP Holdco is the record and beneficial owner of 56,956,712 Common Units, which represents 54.4% of the outstanding Common Units.
3
2.In addition, as of the date of this report, certain of the directors and officers of the Reporting Persons (the “Covered Individuals”) beneficially own the number and percentage of Common Units set forth on Schedule I hereto.
The percentages set forth in Item 5(a) are based on the number of Common Units (104,794,540) issued and outstanding as of May 5, 2021, as reported to the Reporting Persons by the Partnership.
(b) The information set forth in Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, each of the Covered Individuals listed in Schedule I hereto has sole voting power and dispositive power with respect to all of the Common Units reported for him or her in Schedule I hereto.
(c) Except as described in Item 3 above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Covered Individuals, has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.
(d) The Reporting Persons have the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the respective Common Units reported by such persons on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and in this Item 5. See Schedule I for the information applicable to the Covered Individuals.

(e) Not applicable.
