On or after August 1, 2015, the Partnership will purchase the 29 motor fuel stations for $26.2 million, the remaining balance of the purchase price.

The transaction enhances the Partnership’s geographic diversity and provides it access to a new market region. The 34 sites are located in and around the Knoxville, TN region and along Interstate 40 and 75. In aggregate, including the assumed third party supply contracts, the total portfolio sold 34.1 million gallons of motor fuel in 2012. Thirty-one of the 34 sites are Shell branded.

“We are extremely excited to enter into the Knoxville market and to establish a presence in Tennessee,” said Chairman and CEO Joe Topper. “We are pleased to be able to acquire assets of the quality of Rocky Top and to add to our Shell portfolio. The acquisition provides us a solid platform in the region that we hope to grow over time,” Topper added.

The Partnership has agreed to lease or sublease the 34 sites in a 15 year agreement to Lehigh Gas - Ohio, LLC (“LGO”), which separately agreed to purchase fuel and merchandise inventory and certain other assets at the sites from Rocky Top. The Partnership will also supply fuel to LGO at these sites under a 15 year agreement.
