Parkland Acquisition
On October 31, 2025, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Parkland, whereby Sunoco Retail, a wholly owned corporate subsidiary of the Partnership, indirectly acquired all the outstanding shares of Parkland, in exchange for cash and SunocoCorp units that were contributed by SunocoCorp to the Partnership at the close of the Parkland Acquisition. Under the terms of the agreement, Parkland shareholders received 0.295 SunocoCorp units and C$19.80 for each Parkland share. Parkland shareholders could elect, in the alternative, to receive C$44.00 per Parkland share in cash or 0.536 SunocoCorp units for each Parkland share, subject to proration to ensure that the aggregate consideration payable in connection with the transaction would not exceed C$19.80 in cash per Parkland share outstanding as of immediately before close and 0.295 SunocoCorp units per Parkland share outstanding as of immediately before close. In connection with the closing of the Parkland Acquisition, we paid approximately $2.60 billion to Parkland’s shareholders and transferred 51,517,198 SunocoCorp common units, which we had received from SunocoCorp in exchange for our issuance of 51,517,198 Sunoco Class D Units to SunocoCorp.
Parkland is a leading international fuel distributor, marketer and convenience retailer with operations in 26 countries across the Americas. Parkland’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and its consolidated structure includes subsidiaries with multiple other functional currencies.
As part of the transaction, the Partnership repurposed and renamed an existing subsidiary as SunocoCorp. Prior to the Parkland Acquisition, SunocoCorp did not have any significant assets, liabilities or operations; in connection with the Parkland Acquisition, the Partnership deconsolidated SunocoCorp and SunocoCorp became a publicly traded entity classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. SunocoCorp units began trading on the NYSE effective November 6, 2025. Subsequent to the Parkland Acquisition, SunocoCorp holds Sunoco Class D Units, representing limited partnership interests in Sunoco that are generally economically equivalent to Sunoco’s publicly traded common units on the basis of one Sunoco Common Unit for each outstanding SunocoCorp unit. For a period of two years following closing of the transaction, Sunoco will ensure that SunocoCorp unitholders receive distributions on a per unit basis that are equivalent to the per unit distributions to Sunoco unitholders.
The acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with any excess
purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, determined the fair value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value involves the use of management's judgment as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
As of the date these financial statements were issued, management and the third-party valuation specialist continue to evaluate certain assumptions, which could result in a change to the allocation of the fair value among reporting units or between line items on the consolidated balance sheet, potentially impacting deferred tax balances and/or goodwill. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price among assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

On May 3, 2024, Sunoco completed the acquisition of 100% of the common units of NuStar. Under the terms of the agreement, NuStar common unitholders received 0.400 Sunoco common units for each NuStar common unit. In connection with the acquisition, Sunoco issued approximately 51.5 million common units, which had a fair value of approximately $2.85 billion, assumed debt totaling approximately $3.5 billion, including approximately $56 million of lease related financing obligations, and assumed preferred units with a fair value of approximately $800 million. NuStar has approximately 9,500 miles of pipeline and 63 terminal and storage facilities that store and distribute crude oil, refined products, renewable fuels, ammonia and specialty liquids. The acquisition is expected to diversify the Partnership’s business, increase scale and provide vertical integration, as well as improving the Partnership’s credit profile and enhancing growth.
The acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, determined the fair value of assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value involves the use of management's judgment as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
