During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, the Company entered into lease and disbursement agreements (the “BTS Arrangements”) with certain landlords. Under the BTS Arrangements, the Company identifies suitable parcels of land for convenience stores and such sites may be (i) initially owned by the Company and sold to the landlord, (ii) under a binding purchase and sale agreement which is then assigned to the landlord, or (iii) acquired by the landlord directly from a third-party. The Company prepares development and construction plans which are approved by the landlord. The Company then engages and supervises third-party contractors to complete the construction of the stores which the landlord funds and legally owns. In some cases, the Company may begin construction prior to legal sale to landlord.

The landlords are expected to fund the majority of the overall construction costs and related improvements. Each individual lease commences upon the substantial completion of each store, and the rent commencement date is expected to occur simultaneously. The initial term of each lease is approximately 20 years with a Company option to extend for two additional four-year terms. The Company assessed the renewal options and has included periods in the lease term for which renewal is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company pays base rent to the landlord in an amount determined based on the total costs funded by landlord and the base rent payments increase 2.0% annually. The Company has a right of first offer to purchase properties at a price determined by the landlord. The Company cannot exercise its right of first offer without action first taken by the landlord. Thus, the Company does not control the asset, and the right of first offer is not a repurchase option under ASC 842. During the term, the Company will also pay all operating expenses, taxes, and any other expenses payable under each lease.

The Company finished construction at two stores under the BTS Arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The respective leases commenced and are included as components of the Company’s initial operating lease liabilities in the amount of $14,934 and initial Right-of-use assets in the amount of $15,144 as of September 30, 2026, in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
