Global Partners LP Announces Expiration and Results of Its Cash Tender Offer for Any and All of Its Outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes Due 2022

Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) (“Global”) announced today that the cash tender offer (the “Offer”) commenced on July 22, 2019 to purchase any and all of the outstanding 6.25% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), co-issued by Global and GLP Finance Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Global (together with Global, the “Issuers”), expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on July 30, 2019 (the “Expiration Time”).

According to D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent for the offer, valid tenders had been received at the expiration of the offer in the amount and percentage set forth in the table below.

Global expects to accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Time and expects to make payment for any such Notes on July 31, 2019.

Global will apply part of the proceeds from the issuance of $400 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7.00% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “New Notes”), which is expected to close today, to the payment for all Notes to be purchased in the Offer. Global’s obligation to accept and pay for the tendered Notes is conditioned on, among other things, the closing of the offer of the New Notes.

The Offer was made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and the related letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, each dated as of July 22, 2019.

Subject to settlement of the Offer, Global expects to issue later today a notice of redemption for any Notes not purchased in the Offer to redeem such Notes at a redemption price of 101.563% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
