Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 6, 2022, GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPM”) and a subsidiary of ARKO Corp., a Delaware corporation (“ARKO”), completed its previously reported acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the “Interests”) of Pride Convenience Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pride”), pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, entered into on October 19, 2022 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between GPM and Pride Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”). Pride operates 31 convenience stores in the Northeast.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at closing of the transaction, GPM was obligated to pay to Seller aggregate consideration of $230 million plus the value of inventory for all of the Interests, subject to certain closing adjustments. GPM financed from its own sources approximately $30 million of the cash consideration including the value of inventory and other closing adjustments, and Oak Street, a Division of Blue Owl Capital (“Oak Street”), funded the remaining approximately $202 million in accordance with ARKO’s previously reported standby real estate purchase, designation and lease program agreement with Oak Street. Under this arrangement, Oak Street and its affiliates acquired the majority of Pride’s real properties substantially concurrently with the closing of GPM’s acquisition of the Interests, and certain of ARKO’s subsidiaries lease such properties from Oak Street.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which ARKO previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2022.
