On March 14, 2016, MPLX LP (the "Partnership") entered into a Membership Interests Contribution Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") with MPLX GP LLC, MPLX Logistics Holdings LLC and MPC Investment LLC, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marathon Petroleum Corporation ("MPC"). Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, on March 31, 2016, the Partnership acquired all of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Hardin Street Marine LLC ("HSM"). HSM owns and operates towboats (i.e., towing vessels), barges and third-party chartered equipment for the transportation of crude oil, feedstocks, refined products and other hydrocarbon-based products to and from refineries and terminals owned by MPC.

Accordingly, in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K we have recast certain information within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2016 (the "Previously Filed Annual Report") to reflect the acquisition of HSM for all periods presented in the following sections:

ž Part II, Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

ž Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

ž Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

As this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed only for the purpose described above and only affects the Items specified above, the other information in the Previously Filed Annual Report remains unchanged. No attempt has been made in this Current Report on Form 8-K to modify or update disclosures in the Previously Filed Annual Report except for within the Items noted above. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Previously Filed Annual Report or modify or update any related disclosures. Information within the Previously Filed Annual Report not affected by this Current Report on Form 8-K is unchanged and reflects the disclosure made at the time of the filing of the Previously Filed Annual Report. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Previously Filed Annual Report.
