Pursuant to the Program Agreement, Oak Street agreed to purchase, subject to the conditions contained in the Program Agreement, up to $1.0 billion of convenience store and gas station real property, including in connection with purchase agreements that GPM or an affiliate thereof, may from time to time enter into to acquire convenience stores and gas stations from third parties (each, a “Property”), following which GPM, or an affiliate thereof, would enter into a triple-net lease agreement with Oak Street or such affiliate pursuant to which GPM or such affiliate would lease such Property from Oak Street or such affiliate based upon commercial terms contained in the Program Agreement.

On April 7, 2022, GPM, together with an affiliate of Oak Street, entered into an amendment to the Program Agreement (the “Amendment”), which, among other things, (i) expanded the Property subject to the Program Agreement to include cardlock locations and, subject to Oak Street’s consent, other types of real property that GPM or an affiliate thereof may acquire, (ii) extended the term of the Program Agreement and Oak Street’s exclusivity thereunder from one to two years and (iii) provides for up to $1.15 billion of capacity under the Program Agreement during the second year of the term.
