Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Oak Street Program Agreement

As previously reported, on May 3, 2021, GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (including its affiliates, “GPM”) and a subsidiary of ARKO Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Standby Real Estate Purchase, Designation and Lease Program agreement (as amended, the “Program Agreement”) with a fund managed by Oak Street Real Estate Capital, LLC (including its affiliates, “Oak Street”), which Program Agreement was amended on April 7, 2022 and on March 29, 2023. Pursuant and subject to the terms of the Program Agreement, during the second year of its term, Oak Street had agreed to purchase up to $1.15 billion of convenience store and gas station real property, cardlock fuel stations and, subject to Oak Street’s consent, other types/classifications of real property that GPM may acquire, including in connection with purchase agreements that GPM may from time to time enter into to acquire the foregoing from third parties. Following any such purchase, GPM would enter into a triple-net lease agreement with Oak Street, pursuant to which GPM would lease such property from Oak Street based upon commercial terms contained in the Program Agreement.

On May 2, 2023, GPM and Oak Street, entered into a third amendment to the Program Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which, among other things, (i) extended the term of the Program Agreement and Oak Street’s exclusivity thereunder through September 30, 2024 (the “Exclusivity Period”) and (ii) provides for up to $1.50 billion of capacity under the Program Agreement during the period beginning May 2, 2023 through the expiration of the Exclusivity Period, exclusive of the Company’s pending acquisition of certain assets of WTG Fuels Holdings, LLC. The other material terms of the Program Agreement remained substantially unchanged.

Capital One Line of Credit Amendment

On May 5, 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, GPM Petroleum LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“GPMP”), together with certain of its subsidiaries, Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement”), amending and restating that certain amended and restated revolving credit agreement, dated July 15, 2019 (as amended, the “A&R Capital One Credit Agreement”). The A&R Credit Agreement provided for a secured revolving credit facility (the “Capital One Line of Credit”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million (including revolving loans and letters of credit), which availability could, at GPMP’s request, be increased up to $700 million, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments and subject to certain terms and conditions.

The Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement amended and restated the A&R Capital One Credit Agreement to effect the following primary changes:

extend the maturity date of the Capital One Line of Credit from July 15, 2024 to May 5, 2028;
increase the availability under the Capital One Line of Credit from $500 million to $800 million; and
provide that GPMP may increase the availability under the Capital One Line of Credit, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain additional terms contained in the Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement, from $800 million to $1 billion.

The Company did not incur additional debt or receive any proceeds in connection with entering into the Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement. Except as described above, the Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement retains the material terms of the A&R Capital One Credit Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Third Amendment and the Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amendment and the Second A&R Capital One Credit Agreement, respectively, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
