As such Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, such Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

1. MPLX Logistics Holdings LLC (“MPLX Logistics Holdings”) beneficially owns 19,980,619 common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) and 36,951,515 subordinated units representing limited partner interests (“Subordinated Units”) in the Issuer. MPC Investment LLC (“MPC Investment”) owns all of the membership interests in MPLX Logistics Holdings and Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“MPC”) owns all of the membership interests in MPC Investment. Accordingly, MPC and MPC Investment both may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Units and Subordinated Units directly held by MPLX Logistics Holdings. The Subordinated Units may be converted into Common Units on a one-for-one basis after expiration of the subordination period (as defined in the Issuer’s First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), which is incorporated by reference herein), and other circumstances as noted in the Partnership Agreement. As such Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, such Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
2. Based upon 43,341,098 Common Units and 36,951,515 Subordinated Units issued and outstanding as of December 11, 2014, as reported by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons.


Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D concerning the common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) in MPLX LP (the “Issuer”) filed by Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“MPC”), MPC Investment LLC (“MPC Investment”) and MPLX Logistics Holdings LLC (“MPLX Logistics Holdings”) on December 3, 2014 (the “Initial Statement”). On December 8, 2014, the Issuer issued 6,374,104 Common Units, which reduced the percentage of beneficial ownership of MPLX Logistics Holdings of the limited partner interests in the Issuer from 77.0% to 70.9%, based upon 43,341,098 Common Units and 36,951,515 Subordinated Units issued and outstanding as of December 11, 2014, as reported by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons. The Initial Statement is not modified except as specifically provided herein. Any terms capitalized but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Initial Statement.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

No changes to this Item.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Initial Statement is hereby supplemented as follows:

The information required by subparagraphs (a), (b), (c) and (f) of this Item with respect to the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

No changes to this Item.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

No changes to this Item.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) MPLX Logistics Holdings beneficially owns 19,980,619 common units representing limited partner interests (“Common Units”) and 36,951,515 subordinated units representing limited partner interests (“Subordinated Units”) in the Issuer. On December 8, 2014, the Issuer issued 6,374,104 Common Units, which reduced the percentage of beneficial ownership of MPLX Logistics Holdings of the limited partner interests in the Issuer from 77.0% to 70.9%, based upon 43,341,098 Common Units and 36,951,515 Subordinated Units issued and outstanding as of December 11, 2014, as reported by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons. MPC Investment owns all of the membership interests in MPLX Logistics Holdings and MPC owns all of the membership interests in MPC Investment. Accordingly, MPC and MPC Investment both may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Units and Subordinated Units directly held by MPLX Logistics Holdings. The Subordinated Units may be converted into Common Units on a one-for-one basis after expiration of the subordination period (as defined in the Partnership Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein), and other circumstances as noted in the Partnership Agreement. As such Subordinated Units were acquired in connection with transactions having the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, such Subordinated Units are considered converted for purposes of the calculations of the amounts noted under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The members of the board of directors of MPC are listed on Schedule I to this Schedule 13D. No individual member of the board of directors of MPC is deemed to hold any beneficial ownership in the Common Units or Subordinated Units held by MPLX Logistics Holdings.

(b) The information provided in Item 5(a) of this Amendment and in Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Except as set forth in the Initial Statement, MPLX Logistics Holdings has not effected any transactions in the Issuer’s Common Units within the past 60 days and none of MPC or MPC Investment or any person listed on Schedule I has effected any transactions in the Issuer’s Common Units within the past 60 days except as set forth in Schedule I.

(d) None of MPC, MPC Investment nor MPLX Logistics Holdings have any knowledge of any other person having the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Units held in the name of MPLX Logistics Holdings and reported herein.

(e) Not applicable.


Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

No changes to this Item.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

No changes to this Item.
