On May 27, 2025, Parkland has announced, in connection with the Transaction, that it is commencing a private consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend each of the indentures governing Parkland’s outstanding 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027, 6.000% Senior Notes due 2028, 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029, 4.625% Senior Notes due 2030 and 6.625% Senior Notes due 2032 (together, the “Parkland Notes” and such indentures, the “Parkland Indentures”).
Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, Parkland is soliciting consents from eligible holders of each series of Parkland Notes to amend each of the Parkland Indentures to (a) eliminate Parkland’s potential obligation under each Parkland Indenture to make a Change of Control Offer (as such term is defined in the applicable Parkland Indenture) as a result of the Transaction and (b) amend the defined term “Change of Control” in each Parkland Indenture to provide that Sunoco and its affiliates will be “Qualified Owners” of Parkland.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Purchaser Parties have agreed to reimburse (i) Parkland for any consent fee payable in connection the Consent Solicitation, and (ii) Parkland or its subsidiaries reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the Consent Solicitation.
The Consent Solicitation is being made on the terms and conditions set forth in a consent solicitation statement dated May 27, 2025 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), copies of which will be made available to holders of the Parkland Notes eligible to participate in the Consent Solicitation.
