Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

CrossAmerica GP LLC, the general partner (the “General Partner”) of CrossAmerica Partners LP (“CrossAmerica” or “the Partnership”) (NYSE:CAPL), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, is indirectly owned and controlled by Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (“Couche-Tard”), a publicly traded company in Canada (TSX: ATD.A ATD.B).

On August 4, 2017, CrossAmerica entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among (i) CrossAmerica, (ii) Jet-Pep, Inc., an Alabama corporation, and (iii) other persons listed as signatories in the Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Sellers”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CrossAmerica has agreed to purchase the real property and the fuel supply business of 92 fee simple sites, and the leasehold interest in 5 leased real property sites; and the fuel supply business to five independent dealers (“Acquired Assets”) for an aggregate cash consideration of $72,250,000 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain closing adjustments. CrossAmerica also agreed to assume certain liabilities and pay for the value of the petroleum inventory contained in the retail sites.  Circle K Stores Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Couche-Tard (“Circle K), also entered into definitive asset purchase agreements with the Sellers.  The closing of the purchase of the Acquired Assets and the closing of the purchase by Circle K, of certain related retail and terminaling assets from the Sellers (the “Circle K Agreements”), are mutually conditioned upon each other.

The closing of the transaction (“Closing”) is expected to occur in the fourth quarter 2017, and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, and termination and closing conditions. CrossAmerica and the Sellers have generally agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, subject to survival period limitations and an indemnification cap for the Sellers in the amount of $6.5 million in the aggregate for Sellers’ liabilities under the Purchase Agreement and the Circle K Agreements.  CrossAmerica has agreed to purchase a pollution legal liability insurance policy in an aggregate policy amount of $5 million (in excess of amounts payable under the Alabama Underground and Aboveground Storage Tank Trust Fund) for the Acquired Assets and the locations purchased pursuant to the Circle K Agreements. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, each Seller has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to, and to cause its affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in certain competitive activities related to the sale of motor fuels in Alabama for five years following Closing, and (ii) engage in the purchase, sale, leasing or development of property for use as a retail petroleum or convenience store facility in Alabama for three years following Closing.
