EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to Automatic Shelf Registration Statement No. 333-260657 on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Shell Midstream Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2021, pertaining to the registration of an indeterminate number of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”) and an indeterminate amount of partnership securities representing limited partner interests in the Partnership.

On July 25, 2022, Shell USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Shell Midstream LP Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Holdings”), Semisonic Enterprises LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), the Partnership, and Shell Midstream Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub would merge with and into the Partnership (the “Merger”), with the Partnership surviving and continuing to exist as a Delaware limited partnership. The Merger was consummated on October 19, 2022, pursuant to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Common Unit other than Common Units owned immediately prior to the Effective Time by Parent and its affiliates, including Holdings (“Public Common Units”), was converted into the right to receive $15.85 per Public Common Unit in cash, without any interest thereon.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Partnership terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with undertakings made by the Partnership in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Partnership hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Partnership registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the Effective Time.
