Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 25, 2022, Michael N. Mears, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of Magellan GP, LLC (the "Company"), the general partner of Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. ("Magellan"), informed the board of directors (the "Board") that he will retire from his positions effective April 30, 2022 (the "Retirement Date").  Following his retirement announcement, the Company and Mr. Mears entered into a retirement agreement.  The retirement agreement contains a release of claims in favor of the Company and a non-disparagement provision.  In addition, the retirement agreement provides that Mr. Mears is eligible to receive a full bonus under the Company's 2022 Annual Incentive Program and full vesting of his unvested phantom units, in each case, subject to the achievement of performance goals under such arrangements and his continued employment with the Company through the Retirement Date.  The Board then elected Barry R. Pearl, currently the independent Lead Director, as Chairman of the Board effective May 1, 2022.
On January 25, 2022, the Board elected Aaron L. Milford to replace Mr. Mears as Chief Executive Officer and President and as a director of the Board effective May 1, 2022, immediately upon Mr. Mears' retirement.  Mr. Milford, 48, currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Company and has served in such capacity since 2019. He served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer from 2015 to 2019.  Mr. Milford served as Vice President, Crude Oil Business Development from 2014 to 2015.  From 2013 through 2014, he served as Director, Crude Oil Business Development, from 2011 through 2012, as Director, Commercial Development, and from 2007 through 2010, as Director, Business Development.  Prior to joining Magellan in 2004, Mr. Milford worked for The Williams Companies, Inc. and MAPCO, Inc. since 1995 in various staff and management positions including the areas of financial planning, business development and mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Milford has a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and an M.B.A. from the University of Tulsa.  He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst.
Upon the effective date of his promotion, Mr. Milford will be eligible to participate in the compensation and benefit plans described in the section entitled
"Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers"
in Magellan's proxy statement relating to its 2021 Annual Meeting of Limited Partners, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 18, 2021 (and such descriptions, with the exception of the sub-section entitled

are incorporated herein by reference).  In addition, Mr. Milford's base salary will be increased to $830,000 per year, his Annual Incentive Program payout percentage will be increased to 125% and, under the Magellan Midstream Partners' Long-Term Incentive Plan, his 2022 performance-based phantom unit award will be increased by 8,572 units and his 2022 retention-based phantom unit award will be increased by 8,571 units.  There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Milford and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer. There are no existing relationships between Mr. Milford and Magellan or any of its subsidiaries that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K or any familial relationship that would require disclosure under Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K.
