(1) | There are being registered hereunder such presently indeterminate number of common units representing limited partner interests of Westlake Chemical Partners LP (“Westlake LP”), debt securities, and other classes of units representing limited partner interests of Westlake Chemical Partners LP, which may be offered and sold in such amount as shall result in an aggregate offering price not to exceed $500,000,000. This Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate amount of securities as may be issued in exchange for, or upon conversion or exercise of, as the case may be, the securities registered hereunder. The proposed maximum aggregate offering price for each class of securities to be registered is not specified pursuant to General Instruction II.D. of Form S-3. |
(2) | Other classes of units representing limited partner interests can include, but is not limited to, preferred units. |
(3) | Debt securities will be issued by Westlake LP, and WLKP Finance Corp. may act as co-issuer of the debt securities. If any debt securities are issued at an original issue discount, then the offering price of such debt securities shall be in such amount as shall result in an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $500,000,000, less the dollar amount of any registered securities previously issued. |
(4) | With respect to the primary offering, the registration fee has been calculated in accordance with Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |
(5) The $500,000,000 of securities registered in the primary unallocated offering includes $500,000,000 of common units representing limited partner interests of Westlake LP, debt securities of Westlake LP, which may be co-issued by its subsidiary, WLKP Finance Corp., and other classes of units representing limited partner interests of Westlake LP, registered pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-236768 (the “2020 Registration Statement”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020, and declared effective on April 16, 2020, that have not been issued and sold by us (the “Primary Unsold Securities”). Of the Primary Unsold Securities:
(a) | $386,150,000 of common units representing limited partner interests of Westlake LP, debt securities of Westlake LP, which may be co-issued by its subsidiary, WLKP Finance Corp., and other classes of units representing limited partner interests of Westlake LP were originally registered on Registration Statement No. 333-216617 filed by the Registrant on March 10, 2017, and declared effective on March 24, 2017 (the “2017 Registration Statement”) and remained unsold at the time of the filing of the 2020 Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), $44,754.78 of the filing fees paid with respect to such unsold securities was used to offset the total filing fee owed by Westlake LP under the 2020 Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, $44,754.78 of filing fees previously paid in connection with such unsold securities will continue to be applied to the Primary Unsold Securities. |
(b) | $113,850,000 of common units representing limited partner interests of Westlake LP, debt securities of Westlake LP, which may be co-issued by its subsidiary, WLKP Finance Corp., and other classes of units representing limited partner interests of Westlake LP were originally registered pursuant to the 2020 Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, $20,145.22 of filing fees previously paid in connection with such unsold securities will continue to be applied to the Primary Unsold Securities. |
To the extent that, after the filing date hereof and prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement, the Registrants sell any Primary Unsold Securities pursuant to the 2020 Registration Statement, the Registrants will identify in a pre-effective amendment to this registration statement the updated amount of Primary Unsold Securities from the 2020 Registration Statement to be included in this registration statement pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6). In accordance with Rule 415(a)(6), the offering of Primary Unsold Securities on the 2020 Registration Statement will be deemed terminated as of the effective date of this registration statement. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the remaining unused fees from the 2020 Registration Statement ($9,800) will remain unapplied.
