Westlake Chemical Partners announce renewal of ethylene sales agreement

The renewal of the ethylene sales agreement will facilitate continued offtake on attractive terms for 95% of the ethylene produced by OpCo. The renewed agreement maintains the same pricing formula and sales volume protections that have provided the partnership with the distributable cash flow to make 45 consecutive quarterly distributions to unitholders, without any decreases, since its initial public offering in 2014.

In connection with the renewal of the ethylene sales agreement, OpCo and certain affiliates of Westlake entered into an amendment to the services and secondment agreement to align the term of such agreement with the term of the ethylene sales agreement. In addition, the partnership, OpCo, and certain affiliates of Westlake also entered into an amendment to the omnibus agreement to provide that the omnibus agreement would terminate upon termination of the ethylene sales agreement. The amendment also addressed certain procedural requirements in connection with Westlake’s obligation to indemnify the partnership for certain matters, including, among others, environmental and tax matters, under the omnibus agreement.
