Ares Credit Agreement

On March 30, 2021, GPM entered into an amendment to its credit agreement (the “Ares Credit Agreement”) with Ares Capital Corporation (“Ares”) which amended the credit agreement to adjust the interest rate effective from and after March 1, 2021, by (A) reducing the applicable margin for the term loan facility by 0.125% and (B) reducing the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) to be not less than 1.0%, such that following these changes, effective March 1, 2021, the term loan facility bears interest, as elected by GPM, at (a) a rate per annum equal to the Ares alternative base rate (“ABR”) plus a margin of 3.50%, or (b) the LIBOR Rate (not less than 1.0%) plus a margin of 4.50%.

On April 30, 2021, GPM entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Ares Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment amended the Ares Credit Agreement as follows: the definition of Consolidated EBITDA was amended to increase the amount of fees, expenses and other charges related to Permitted Acquisitions (as defined in the Ares Credit Agreement) that can be added back when calculating Consolidated EBITDA; the definition of Consolidated Total Debt was amended to increase the amount of GPM’s cash and cash equivalents on hand deducted from GPM’s indebtedness when calculating Consolidated Total Debt; various changes were made to facilitate potential new equipment and real estate financings from M&T Bank; certain permitted debt baskets were increased to allow GPM to have more flexibility in its operations and the financial statement and budget delivery requirements were updated primarily to reflect that GPM currently owns 99.71% of GPMP.

PNC Credit Agreement

On April 30, 2021, GPM entered into a fourth amendment to its credit agreement, dated February 28, 2020, by and among GPM, and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as lender and as agent (the “PNC Credit Agreement”). This amendment effected substantially similar changes to the PNC Credit Agreement as those made by the Sixth Amendment to the Ares Credit Agreement described above.

M&T Bank Credit Agreement

On June 24, 2021 (the “M&T Closing Date”), GPM entered into (i) a Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement, by and among GPM, certain of its subsidiaries as co-borrowers and M&T Bank (the “M&T Credit Agreement Amendment”) and (ii) a Second Amended and Restated Master Covenant Agreement, by and between GPM and M&T Bank (the “M&T Master Covenant Agreement Amendment”.

The M&T Credit Agreement Amendment amended and restated in its entirety that certain Amended and Restated Consolidated Credit Agreement, dated December 21, 2016, as amended, by and among GPM, M&T Bank and the other parties thereto and (i) added a three-year $20.0 million line of credit for purchases of equipment, which line may be borrowed in tranches, as described below, and (ii) increased the aggregate principal amount of real estate loans thereunder to $35.0 million (the “New Term Loan”) from approximately $23.2 million outstanding as of the M&T Closing Date.  On the M&T Closing Date, GPM refinanced the entirety of the existing $23.2 million of real estate loans, of which $20.0 million was due to mature in December 2021, using the proceeds from the New Term Loan, which GPM drew in its entirety, resulting in approximately $10.7 million in net proceeds to GPM after paying costs

and expenses. On the M&T Closing Date, approximately $2.5 million of outstanding equipment loans from M&T Bank were converted to become a part of the $20.0 million line of credit, of which approximately $17.5 million remained available as of both the M&T Closing Date and June 30, 2021.

Additionally, the real estate loans, which were originally at fixed interest rates ranging from 3.06% to 5.06% were converted to floating rate loans at LIBOR plus 3.00%, and the fixed interest rate on the currently outstanding equipment loan increased from 3.55% to 3.58%.  The real estate loans mature in June 2026 and are payable in monthly installments based on a fifteen-year amortization schedule, with the balance of the loans payable at maturity.  The M&T Credit Agreement Amendment provides that each additional equipment loan tranche will have a three-year term, payable in level monthly payments of principal plus interest, and will accrue a fixed rate of interest equal to M&T Bank’s three-year cost of funds as of the applicable date of such tranche, plus 3.00%.  The real estate loans and equipment loans are both secured by the real property and equipment acquired with the proceeds of such loans.  The M&T Credit Agreement Amendment contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including that the borrowers do not encumber the collateral subject to the applicable loans under the M&T Credit Agreement Amendment.

The M&T Master Covenant Agreement Amendment amended and restated the covenants contained in the Amended and Restated M&T Master Covenant Agreement dated November 5, 2020, as amended, in each case in respect of the loans under the M&T Credit Agreement Amendment.
