3. Limited Partnership

GPMP commenced its operation in January 2016, and thereafter the following has applied:

i.
Fuel distribution agreements – GPMP is a party to the majority of the agreements with fuel suppliers relating to the supply of fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries in the retail and wholesale segments, and GPM guarantees the obligations under certain of such agreements.
ii.
Distribution agreement with GPM – GPM and its subsidiaries related to substantially all of its sites in the retail and wholesale segments are engaged with GPMP in an exclusive supply agreement pursuant to which they purchase fuel from GPMP at GPMP’s cost of fuel including taxes and transportation, plus a fixed margin. Such supply arrangements have a duration of 10 years from the date of the initial supply agreement and, with respect to acquired sites, for 10 years from the date of the applicable acquisition.
iii.
GPMP charges a fixed fee to sites in the fleet fueling segment.

As of December 31, 2022,and 2021, GPM, directly and through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, held approximately 99.8% of the limited partnership interests in GPMP and all of the rights in the general partner of GPMP.

Just prior to the Merger Transaction, third parties owned approximately 19.3% of the limited partnership interests in GPMP. On December 21, 2020, GPM purchased such interests except for units held by the Riiser Seller which represented, at that time, 0.29% of the limited partnership interests in GPMP, for a total consideration of approximately $98.0 million, plus consideration for the amount of outstanding distributions not yet distributed, which was funded from GPM’s own sources. Part of the proceeds paid by GPM were used to purchase shares of Haymaker in privately negotiated transactions and upon consummation of the Merger Transaction, these shares automatically converted into shares of the Company.

The Riiser Seller currently owes GPM approximately $3.375 million with respect to a post-closing adjustment. The Riiser Seller may, at its option, satisfy $3.0 million of such adjustment by tendering all of its limited partnership units in GPMP to GPM.
