Material Agreement - Form 8-K

On February 23, 2024, Global Partners LP (the "Partnership"), as Buyer, entered into an Amended and Restated Equity Purchase Agreement (the "A&R Purchase Agreement") with Gulf Oil Limited Partnership (the "Seller") in response to concerns raised by the Federal Trade Commission and the State Attorney General of Maine. The A&R Purchase Agreement amends certain provisions of the Equity Purchase Agreement between the Partnership and Seller, dated December 15, 2022, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.4 to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and is incorporated herein by reference (the "Original Purchase Agreement").

Pursuant to the Original Purchase Agreement, the Partnership would have acquired all the issued and outstanding equity interests of New Haven NewCo, Woodbury NewCo, Portland NewCo, Linden NewCo and Chelsea NewCo, each as defined in the Original Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Target Companies"), for a purchase price of $273 million in cash, subject to certain customary adjustments to primarily take into account the actual amount of certain assets and liabilities of the Target Companies as of the closing date (the "Gulf Transaction"). The Target Companies each will contain all of the assets exclusively related to the ownership and operation of, and the receipt, storage and throughput of refined products at certain operating, refined-products terminals located in New Haven, CT, Thorofare, NJ, Portland, ME, Linden, NJ and Chelsea, MA, respectively.

Pursuant to the A&R Purchase Agreement, all substantive material terms of the Original Purchase Agreement remain unchanged except: (a) the Seller's refined-products terminal located in Portland, ME has been removed from the Gulf Transaction, and (b) the purchase price has been reduced to $212.3 million in cash, subject to certain customary adjustments to primarily take into account the actual amount of certain assets and liabilities of the Target Companies (other than Portland NewCo) as of the closing date (the "Revised Gulf Transaction").

Closing of the Revised Gulf Transaction is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including closing of the Pre-Closing Reorganization (as defined in the A&R Purchase Agreement) and delivery of specified deliverables required by the A&R Purchase Agreement.

The A&R Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants by each of the parties. Among other covenants, during the period between the execution of the A&R Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Revised Gulf Transaction, the Seller has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, conduct its business in the ordinary course of business and will not, and will cause its subsidiaries not to, with respect to its business and the Target Companies (other than Portland NewCo), engage in certain types of activities and transactions.

At closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the A&R Purchase Agreement, the Partnership will assume certain liabilities and obligations of the Seller related to the Target Companies (other than Portland NewCo), excluding certain environmental liabilities retained by the Seller as identified in the A&R Purchase Agreement.

The Partnership expects to finance the Revised Gulf Transaction with borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
