Dividend: They expect to make a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.2625 per common unit and subordinated unit ($1.05 per common unit and subordinated unit on an annualized basis), or a projected 5.25% annual return, based on the midpoint of the offering range.

Business: Initial assets consist of interests in entities that own crude oil, natural gas, refined products and diluent pipelines serving as key infrastructure for BP and other customers to transport onshore crude oil production to BP’s Whiting Refinery and offshore crude oil and natural gas production to key refining markets and trading and distribution hubs. Certain of their assets deliver refined products and diluent from the Whiting Refinery and other U.S. supply hubs to major demand centers.

They have historically generated substantially all of their revenue under long-term agreements or FERC-regulated generally applicable tariffs by charging fees for the transportation of products through our pipelines. At the closing of this offering, substantially all of their aggregate revenue on BP2, Diamondback, and River Rouge will be supported by commercial agreements with BP Products. BP Products will enter into minimum volume commitment agreements with respect to BP2, River Rouge and Diamondback at closing that will have terms running through December 31, 2020. They also have an existing minimum volume commitment agreement on Diamondback, with a term running through June 30, 2020. They believe these agreements will promote stable and predictable cash flows, and estimate that for the year ending December 31, 2018, 95% of projected revenues, including the pro rata portion of our interest in the revenues of Mars and the Mardi Gras Joint Ventures, will be generated under fee-based contracts. BP Pipelines has also granted them a right of first offer with respect to its retained ownership interest in Mardi Gras and all of its interests in midstream pipeline systems and assets related thereto in the contiguous United States and offshore Gulf of Mexico that are owned by BP Pipelines at the closing of this offering.
