ARKO Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ARKO.”

In July 2025, the Company formed ARKO Petroleum Corp., a Delaware corporation, as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (“APC”). On February 13, 2026, APC completed an initial public offering of 11,111,111 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price to the public of $18.00 per share (the “APC IPO”). In addition, APC granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,666,666 shares of APC’s Class A common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at $18.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The total net proceeds from the APC IPO were approximately $183.2 million. Upon the closing of the APC IPO, the Company owned 35,000,000 shares of APC’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, representing 75.9% of the economic interests in APC and 94.0% of the combined voting power of APC’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock (or 73.3% of the economic interests in APC and 93.2% of the combined voting power if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). APC’s Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “APC.” Refer to Note 3 below for further information.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s operations were primarily performed by its wholly owned subsidiary, GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formed in 2002 (“GPM”). GPM is engaged directly and through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries in retail activity, which includes the operations of a chain of convenience stores, most of which include adjacent gas stations. Until the APC IPO, GPM was also engaged in wholesale activity, which included the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third-parties and, in fleet fueling, which included the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations) and issuance of proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s activity included the operation of 1,118 retail convenience stores, the supply of fuel to 2,099 gas stations operated by dealers and the operation of 295 cardlock locations, in the District of Columbia and throughout more than 30 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States (“U.S.”).

The Company has four reportable segments: retail, wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPMP. Following the APC IPO, the wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPMP segments are operated by APC. Refer to Note 24 below for further information with respect to the segments.
