In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, certain information concerning the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons and persons controlling the Reporting Persons, as applicable (collectively, the “Covered Persons”), required by Item 2 of Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule 1 and is incorporated by reference herein. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Covered Persons listed on Schedule 1 as a director or executive officer of Western, Giant, WRSW, Refining GP or WRCLP has been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Sources and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On October 16, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Partnership’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), the following transactions, among others, occurred pursuant to the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement, dated October 16, 2013 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among Partnership, the General Partner, WRSW, San Juan Refining Company, LLC (“SJR”), Western Refining Pipeline, LLC (“WRP”) and Western Refining Terminals, LLC (“WRT”), WRCLP and Western:

Upon the termination of the subordination period as set forth in the Partnership Agreement, the subordinated units are convertible into common units on a one-for-one basis.

On October 16, 2013, certain Covered Persons acquired with personal funds common units through the Partnership’s directed unit program at the initial public offering price of $22.00 per common unit, as noted on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by others, including the other Reporting Persons and Covered Persons, except to the extent of such Reporting Person’s pecuniary interest therein, if any.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the units reported herein solely for investment purposes as partial consideration for the assets and operations contributed by the Reporting Persons or their affiliates to the Partnership in connection with the IPO. The Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of common units either in the open market or in private transactions depending on the Reporting Person’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the common units, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other future developments.

The following describes plans or proposals that the Reporting Persons may have with respect to the matters set forth in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D:

(a) The subordinated units owned of record by WRSW and WRCLP are convertible into common units on a one-for-one basis upon the termination of the subordination period as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership may grant unit awards, restricted units, phantom units, unit options, unit appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights and substitute awards to employees and directors of the General Partner and its affiliates pursuant to the Partnership’s Long-Term Incentive Plan adopted by the General Partner. The Partnership may acquire common units to issue pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan on the open market, directly from the Partnership, from other Reporting Persons or otherwise.

(b) None.

(c) None.

(d) Western, as indirect owner of the General Partner, intends to increase the size of the General Partner’s board of directors to seven members and appoint one additional independent director to fill such vacancy within one year from the effective date of the Partnership’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 331-190135). The General Partner has sole responsibility for conducting the Partnership’s business and managing its operations and is ultimately controlled by Western. Some of Western’s executive officers and directors will also serve as executive officers or directors of the General Partner. Specifically, six of the seven executive officers of the General Partner are also executive officers of Western, and three of the five directors of the General Partner are also directors of Western. Neither the General Partner nor its board of directors will be elected by the Partnership’s unitholders. Through its ownership of 100% of the equity interests in Giant, which owns 100% of the equity interest in WRSW, Western will have the ability to elect all the members of the board of directors of the General Partner. The Reporting Persons, however, have no current intention of changing the board of directors or management of the General Partner, other than to potentially appoint one or more additional independent directors.

(e) The Reporting Persons, as direct and indirect owners of the General Partner of the Partnership, may cause the Partnership to change its dividend policy or its capitalization, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, from time to time in the future. The Reporting Persons, however, have no current intention of changing the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Partnership.

(f) None.

(g) None.

(h) None.

(i) None.

(j) Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date of this Statement, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may change their plans or proposals in the future. In determining from time to time whether to sell the common units reported as beneficially owned in this Statement (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Partnership, anticipated future developments concerning the Partnership, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Partnership in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Partnership or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Partnership or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

On October 16, 2013, certain of the Covered Persons acquired common units through the Partnership’s directed unit program, as noted on Schedule 1 attached hereto, for investment purposes. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Covered Persons have, as of the date of this Statement, any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) – (b) The aggregate number and percentage of shares of units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (on the basis of a total of 45,622,000 units issued and outstanding as of the closing of the IPO) are as follows:

Western

Giant

WRSW

Refining GP

WRCLP

Certain of the Covered Persons acquired common units through the Partnership’s directed unit program, as noted on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

(c) Except as described in Item 3 above or elsewhere in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Covered Persons has effected any transactions in the common units during the past 60 days.

(d) The Reporting Persons have the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the respective common units reported by such persons on the cover pages of this Statement and in this Item 5. Except for the foregoing and the cash distribution described in Item 6 below, no other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of, common units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Covered Persons.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 3 and Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

The Partnership Agreement

The General Partner, as the sole general partner of the Partnership, and WRSW, as the organizational limited partner of the Partnership, are party to the Partnership Agreement.

Cash Distributions

The Partnership’s cash distribution policy will require it to pay cash distributions at an initial distribution rate of $0.2875 per common unit and subordinated unit per quarter ($1.15 per common unit and subordinated unit on an annualized basis) to the extent the Partnership 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 Partnership calls this quarterly distribution amount the “minimum quarterly distribution,” and the Partnership’s ability to pay it is subject to various restrictions and other factors. The Partnership will adjust the minimum quarterly distribution for the period from the closing of the Offering through December 31, 2013, based on the actual length of that period.

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

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 Partnership distributes in excess of that amount. The rights to receive these distributions are referred to as incentive distribution rights.

Conversion of Subordinated Units

The principal difference between the common units and subordinated units is that in any quarter during the subordination period, holders of the subordinated units are not entitled to receive any distribution until the common units have received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. The subordinated units will not accrue arrearages.

The subordination period will end on the first business day after the Partnership has earned and paid distributions of available cash of at least (a) $1.15 (the minimum quarterly distribution on an annualized basis) on each outstanding common and subordinated unit for each of three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2016, or (b) $1.725 (150% of the annualized minimum quarterly distribution) on each outstanding common and subordinated unit and the related distributions on the incentive distribution rights for any four-quarter period ending on or after September 30, 2014, in each case provided there are no arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distributions on the Partnership’s common units at that time. The subordination period also will end upon the removal of the General Partner other than for cause if no subordinated units or common units held by the holder(s) of subordinated units or their affiliates are voted in favor of that removal. When the subordination period ends, all subordinated units will convert into common units on a one-for-one basis, and thereafter no common units will be entitled to arrearages.

Issuance of Additional Units

The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Partnership 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 Partnership 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 Partnership’s units, including units owned by the General Partner and its affiliates, voting together as a single class. Because Western owns 65.3% of the Partnership’s outstanding units, and indirectly owns 100% of the interests in the General Partner, it has the ability to prevent the General Partner’s 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 Partnership has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws any common units, subordinated 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 Partnership is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts.

The General Partner’s 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 3.2 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 22, 2013 which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.

The Underwriting Agreement

In connection with the Underwriting Agreement, by and among the Partnership, the General Partner, Western and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, dated October 9, 2013, relating to the IPO (the “Underwriting Agreement”), Western, WRSW, WRCLP, the executive officers of the General Partner and the directors of Western and the General Partner have agreed not to sell any common units they beneficially own for a period of 180 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement. References to, and descriptions of, the Underwriting Agreement as set forth in this Item 6 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 15, 2013, which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 6.

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and any person with respect to any securities of the Partnership.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
