Voting Rights of Common Stock

Under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to five votes per share, in each case on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Shares of Class B common stock may only be owned by ARKO Parent and its affiliates (other than the Company).

Dividends

The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) declared on March 27, 2026 a quarterly pro-rated dividend of $0.26 per share of common stock, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the first quarter of 2026 following the closing of the IPO on February 13, 2026. This dividend was paid on April 21, 2026 to stockholders of record as of April 10, 2026, totaling $12.4 million. The Company currently intends to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share to holders of its common stock, or $2.00 per share on an annualized basis.

The Board will determine the amount, timing, and payment of any dividend in its sole discretion taking into account Discretionary Cash Flow, reserves for working capital and investment capital expenditures, debt service, the prudent conduct of the Company’s business, and other factors it deems relevant. The Company’s objective is to pay to its common stockholders a consistent and growing cash dividend that is sustainable on a long-term basis. Cash dividends paid in respect of Class A common stock will also be paid in respect of Class B common stock. As a result, dividends paid on common stock will be received on a pro rata basis by holders of its Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock, which Class B common stock is held indirectly by ARKO Parent. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to pay such dividends or the amounts of such dividends.
