WESTLAKE CORPORATION Stock Price, News & Analysis

Westlake Chemical Partners (NYSE: WLKP) announced that Westlake Chemical OpCo and Westlake Corporation renewed the Ethylene Sales Agreement through December 31, 2027, with an initial term to December 31, 2026 and automatic 12-month renewals unless terminated with 12 months' notice.

The renewal secures offtake on attractive terms for 95% of OpCo's ethylene output, preserves the existing pricing formula and sales volume protections, and is cited as supporting the Partnership's distributable cash flow that enabled 45 consecutive quarterly distributions since its 2014 IPO. Related amendments align the Services and Secondment Agreement term to the ethylene agreement and set the Omnibus Agreement to terminate upon termination of the Ethylene Sales Agreement, with indemnity procedural updates for environmental and tax matters.

The notice is designated as a qualified notice under Treasury Regulation §1.1446-4(b). Brokers and nominees are instructed to treat 100.0% of distributions to non-U.S. investors as income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, meaning such distributions are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest applicable effective tax rate.
