Westlake Chemical Partners LP (WLKP) – Form 4 insider transaction

Director Randy Woelfel reported a matched exercise-and-sale on 8 Aug 2025 covering 4,882 common units:

• Exercise (Code M): 4,882 phantom units converted into an equal number of common units on 7 Aug 2025.
• Sale (Code D): the same 4,882 common units immediately sold at $21.96, generating proceeds of roughly $107 k.

After the transactions, Woelfel’s direct ownership fell from 28,795 to 23,913 common units (≈17% reduction) and no derivative (phantom) units remain outstanding. He also received a separate grant of 5,005 new phantom units on 6 Aug 2025 that will settle in common units one year later.

No 10b5-1 trading plan was indicated, and the filing involves only one reporting person. While the dollar value is modest relative to WLKP’s market capitalization, insider sales can be viewed cautiously by investors, particularly when they reduce ownership levels.

Westlake Chemical Partners LP (WLKP) filed a Form 4 reporting insider activity by director Lisa A. Friel. On 08-06-2025 she received 5,005 phantom units, each economically equivalent to a common unit. On 08-07-2025 she exercised 4,882 of those phantom units into common units (Code M) and sold 2,441 units at $21.96 (Code D). After the transactions she directly owns 7,163 common units.

• Approximate gross value: ~US$107 k (exercise) with ~US$53 k in sale proceeds.
• No phantom units remain; all derivative positions were converted or settled.
• Friel remains a director of the GP, maintaining equity alignment with unitholders.

Director G. Steven Finley filed a Form 4 for Westlake Chemical Partners LP (WLKP) covering two transactions on 8-6-25 and 8-7-25.

• 8 Aug 2025 grant: Finley received 5,005 phantom units (economic equivalent of common units). These vest/exercisable 8-6-26 and expire 9-6-26; cost basis reported as $0.
• 7 Aug 2025 conversion: Finley exercised 4,882 phantom units (Code M), acquiring the same number of WLKP common units at no cash cost. Direct common-unit holdings rose to 31,930 units from approximately 27,048, an ~18% increase.

No open-market purchases or sales were reported, and derivative holdings after the reported transactions stand at the newly granted 5,005 phantom units. The filing signals continued equity alignment by a board member but does not involve cash transactions or changes to public float.
