Marathon Petroleum Corp

3. Master Limited Partnership

We own the general partner and a majority limited partner interest in MPLX, which owns and operates crude oil and light product transportation and logistics infrastructure as well as gathering, processing and fractionation assets. We control MPLX through our ownership of the general partner interest and, as of September 30, 2025, we owned approximately 64 percent of the outstanding MPLX common units.

Unit Repurchase Program

On August 5, 2025, MPLX announced its board of directors approved a $1.0 billion unit repurchase authorization in addition to the $1.0 billion unit repurchase authorization announced on August 2, 2022. These unit repurchase authorizations have no expiration date. MPLX may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be suspended, discontinued or restarted at any time.

Total unit repurchases were as follows for the respective periods:

As of September 30, 2025, MPLX had approximately $1.22 billion remaining under its unit repurchase authorizations.

Preferred Units

The Series A preferred units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event, which is outside MPLX’s control. Therefore, they are presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of our consolidated balance sheets.

During 2023 and 2024, certain Series A preferred unitholders exercised their rights to convert their Series A preferred units into common units. Approximately 6 million Series A preferred units were outstanding as of December 31, 2024. On February 11, 2025, MPLX exercised its right to convert the remaining outstanding Series A preferred units into common units.

For a summary of changes in the redeemable preferred balance, see the accompanying consolidated statements of equity and redeemable noncontrollable interest.

Agreements

We have various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPLX. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, storage, distribution and marketing services to us. With certain exceptions, these agreements generally contain minimum volume commitments. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions among our Refining & Marketing, Renewable Diesel and Midstream segments. We also have agreements with

MPLX that establish fees for operational and management services provided between us and MPLX and for executive management services and certain general and administrative services provided by us to MPLX. These transactions are eliminated in consolidation but are reflected as intersegment transactions between corporate and our Midstream segment.

Noncontrolling Interest

As a result of equity transactions of MPLX, we are required to adjust non-controlling interest and additional paid-in capital. Changes in MPC’s additional paid-in capital resulting from changes in its ownership interests in MPLX were as follows:
