Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective May 16, 2011, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) acquired a controlling interest in Inland Corporation through a series of transactions. Inland Corporation consists of an active 350-mile refined products pipeline and related facilities in Ohio that serve multiple Ohio refineries and terminal markets. The aggregate purchase price for all of the interests acquired was approximately $100 million, which was financed by borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving credit facilities pending more permanent financing. As a result of these transactions, Sunoco Logistics now owns an 83.8 percent economic interest and a 70 percent voting interest in Inland Corporation.

Attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the Company’s related press release dated May 17, 2011, which is incorporated by reference herein.
