Item 3.

Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On November 16, 2016, Tesoro entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Western, Tahoe Merger Sub 1, Inc. (Merger Sub 1), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro, and Tahoe Merger Sub 2, LLC (Merger Sub 2), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro.

On June 1, 2017, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Western (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub 1 ceased, and Western (the Surviving Corporation) continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro. At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each outstanding share of common stock of Western, par value $0.01 per share (other than shares held by Tesoro, Western or any of their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries, including Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, other than any shares of Western common stock held on behalf of third parties), was converted into, and became exchangeable for, in each case at the election of the holder of record of such share of Western common stock, either the stock consideration of 0.4350 of a share of Tesoro common stock or the cash consideration of $37.30.

Tesoro financed the cash portion of the merger consideration and the repayment and redemption of certain outstanding indebtedness of Western and its subsidiaries using a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of new debt securities and proceeds from a new incremental revolver under its existing credit facility. The offering of new debt securities, which closed on December 22, 2016, consisted of $850 million aggregate principal amount of Tesoros 4.750% Senior Notes due 2023 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of Tesoros 5.125% Senior Notes due 2026. Tesoro entered into the amendment and incremental facility agreement to its existing credit facility on December 13, 2016, which incremental facility provided for a new senior secured incremental revolving tranche in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion.

As a result of the Merger and Western becoming a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Tesoro, Tesoro, through its indirect ownership of Giant and WRSW, controls the General Partner, which is the general partner of the Issuer. Accordingly, Tesoro has the ability to appoint all of the directors of the board of directors of the General Partner. Also as a result of the Merger, Tesoro became a beneficial owner of the Issuers Common Units by acquiring indirect ownership of St. Paul Park Refining Co. LLC and WRSW.

In connection with the Merger, at the Effective Time, Mr. Foster, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Weaver voluntarily resigned as directors of the General Partner. Following the Effective Time, Mr. Atterbury, Mr. Kinder and Mr. Linn continued to serve as directors of the General Partner; Mr. Goff assumed the role of Chairman of the General Partner; and Mr. Goff, Mr. Sterin, Mr. Casey and Mr. Tompsett were appointed to the board of directors of the General Partner.

In connection with the Merger, at the Effective Time, the following officers of the General Partner voluntarily resigned from their respective roles with the General Partner: Mr. Stevens resigned from his role as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Smith resigned from his role as Executive Vice President of Operations and Ms. Davis resigned from her role as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Following the Effective Time, the following individuals were appointed as officers of the General Partner: Mr. Goff was appointed Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Johnson was appointed President, Mr. Sterin was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Peery was appointed Vice President and Controller.

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

(a) (j) The information contained in Item 3 is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

The Reporting Persons may, either directly or through one or more affiliates, from time to time or at any time and subject to market and general economic conditions and other factors, purchase additional Common Units in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or sell at any time all or a portion of such Common Units now owned or hereafter acquired to one or more purchasers.

In addition, the board of directors of Tesoro has authorized the management of Tesoro to work with the board of directors and management of Tesoro Logistics LP (TLLP) to consider, discuss and endeavor to negotiate a merger, consolidation or combination (in whatever form) of assets held by and securities issued by the Issuer and its affiliates and assets held by and securities issued by TLLP and its affiliates (such merger, consolidation or combination, a Transaction). There can be no assurance that any discussions that may occur between the Reporting Persons, the Issuer or TLLP will result in the delivery of a proposal, or entry into a definitive agreement, concerning a Transaction or, if such a definitive agreement is reached, will result in the consummation of a Transaction provided for in such definitive agreement. Discussions concerning a potential Transaction may be terminated at any time and without prior notice.

As part of the Reporting Persons ongoing evaluation of this investment and investment alternatives, including the consolidation, combination or acquisition of assets, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, formulate plans or proposals with respect to such matters, and hold discussions with or make formal proposals to the board of directors of the General Partner of the Issuer, other holders of Common Units or other third parties regarding such matters.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information contained in Item 3 and the information contained in Item 4 is incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.

The Partnership Agreement

The General Partner, as the sole general partner of the Issuer, and WRSW, as the organizational limited partner of the Issuer, are party to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer (the Partnership Agreement).

Cash Distributions

The Issuers cash distribution policy will require it to pay cash distributions at an initial distribution rate of $0.2875 per Common Unit per quarter ($1.15 per Common Unit on an annualized basis) to the extent the Issuer has sufficient cash from operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses, including payments to its general partner and its affiliates. The Issuer calls this quarterly distribution amount the minimum quarterly distribution, and the Issuers ability to pay it is subject to various restrictions and other factors.

The Partnership Agreement requires the Issuer to distribute, at the end of each quarter, all of its cash on hand, less reserves established by the General Partner. The Issuer refers to this amount as available cash. The Partnership Agreement requires that the Issuer distribute all of its available cash each quarter in the following manner:

 

first, to the holders of Common Units, until each Common Unit has received the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.2875; and

 

second, to all unitholders, pro rata, until each unit has received a distribution of $0.3306.

If cash distributions to the unitholders exceed $0.3306 per unit in any quarter, the General Partner will receive increasing percentages, up to 50%, of the cash the Issuer distributes in excess of that amount. The rights to receive these distributions are referred to as incentive distribution rights.

Issuance of Additional Units

The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Issuer to issue an unlimited number of units on terms determined by the General Partner without unitholder approval.

---

Limited Voting Rights

The General Partner controls the Issuer and the unitholders have only limited voting rights. Unitholders have no right to appoint the General Partner or its directors. The General Partner may not be removed, except by a vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the Issuers units, including units owned by the General Partner and its affiliates, voting together as a single class. Because Tesoro indirectly owns 52.5% of the Issuers outstanding units, and indirectly owns 100% of the interests in the General Partner, it has the ability to prevent the General Partners involuntary removal.

Limited Call Right

If at any time the General Partner and its affiliates own more than 80% of the outstanding Common Units, the General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all of the remaining Common Units at a price equal to the greater of (a) the average of the daily closing price of the common units over the 20 trading days preceding the date three days before notice of exercise of the call right is first mailed, and (b) the highest per-unit price paid by the General Partner or any of its affiliates for Common Units during the 90-day period preceding the date such notice is first mailed.

Registration Rights

The Issuer has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws any Common Units or other limited partner interests proposed to be sold by the General Partner or any of its affiliates or their assignees if an exemption from the registration requirements is not otherwise available. These registration rights continue for two years following any withdrawal or removal of the General Partner. The Issuer is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts.

The General Partners Limited Liability Company Agreement

Under the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner (the GP LLC Agreement), WRSW has the right to elect the members of the board of directors of the General Partner.

References to, and descriptions of, the Partnership Agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Partnerships Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 2, 2015 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.
