US-based refining company Phillips 66 (PSX) has agreed to acquire shares it does not already own in Phillips 66 Partners (PSXP) in an all-stock deal worth $3.4bn.
According to the agreement, PSXP shareholders will receive 0.50 shares of PSX common stock for each share held.
Currently owning a 74% limited partner interest in Phillips 66 Partners, Phillips 66 expects the deal to simplify its governance and corporate structure.
Public shareholders hold a 26% limited partner interest and 13.8 million perpetual convertible preferred units in Phillips 66 Partners.
Phillips 66 chairman and CEO Greg Garland said: “We believe this acquisition will allow both PSX shareholders and PSXP unitholders to participate in the value creation of the combined entities, supported by the strong financial position of Phillips 66.”
Upon the completion of the deal, Phillips 66 Partners will become a fully owned subsidiary of Phillips 66. It will also cease to be a publicly traded partnership.
