Global Partners LP Announces Pricing of Upsized Private Offering of Senior Notes

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) (“Global”) today announced that it has priced an upsized private offering of $450 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will be co-issued by GLP Finance Corp. and guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries of Global. The sale of the Senior Notes is expected to be completed on or about June 23, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Senior Notes will be issued at par.

Global intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes to fund the purchase of its outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) in a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under its credit agreement. The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, each dated June 10, 2025. To the extent the Tender Offer is not completed or is completed but Global purchases less than all of the 2027 Notes in the Tender Offer, Global intends to use any remaining net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes to redeem any 2027 Notes that remain outstanding on or about August 1, 2025.

The Senior Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Senior Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Senior Notes in any state in which the offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. This announcement shall not constitute an offer to purchase, or the solicitation of an offer to sell, the 2027 Notes, nor shall it constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2027 Notes.
