Global Partners Signs Purchase and Sale Agreement for Planned Divestiture of 31 Non-Strategic Retail
Sites
Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) today announced that, through a wholly owned subsidiary, it has entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement with Mirabito Holdings, Inc. of Binghamton, NY to sell to Mirabito 31 non-strategic gasoline stations and convenience
stores located in New York and Pennsylvania. In addition, the parties will enter into long-term supply contracts for branded and
unbranded gasoline and other petroleum products. The retail assets were acquired by the Partnership in January 2015 in connection
with the purchase of Warren Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Subject to customary due diligence, the transaction is expected to
close in the third quarter of 2016.
“The sale of these non-strategic sites reflects our ongoing strategy to streamline our retail portfolio and optimize our
assets,” said Eric Slifka, president and CEO of Global Partners. “This transaction, together with our previously announced plan to
sell non-strategic retail locations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic through NRC Realty & Capital Advisors, is part of the
approximately 125-site strategic divestiture program we outlined to investors earlier this year.”
