Table of Contents
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, any statement that may project, indicate or imply future results, events, performance or achievements, and may
contain the words "may," "believe," "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "continue," "will likely result" or other
similar expressions. In addition, any statement made by our management concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings
or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible actions by us, are also forward-looking statements. Although we believe these
forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there may be events in the future that we are not able to predict accurately or control, and
there can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we anticipate. Additionally, all statements concerning our
expectations regarding future operating results are based on current forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any
future acquisitions. The factors listed under "Risk Factors" and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (our "2014
Annual Report"), as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus, describe the known material risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our
actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Additional factors or events that may emerge
from time to time, or those that we currently deem to be immaterial, could cause our actual results to differ, and it is not possible for us to predict all of
them. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The
following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from our forward-looking statements:
·
Our sales of home heating oil and residual oil could be significantly reduced by conversions to natural gas.
·
Erosion of the value of the Mobil brand could adversely affect our gasoline sales and customer traffic.
·
Our gasoline sales could be significantly reduced by a reduction in demand due to higher prices and to new technologies and alternative
fuel sources, such as electric, hybrid or battery powered motor vehicles.
·
Our crude oil sales could be adversely affected by, among other things, unanticipated changes in the crude oil market structure, grade
differentials and volatility (or lack thereof), disasters in shipping crude oil by rail that lead to regulations that adversely impact the
market for delivering crude oil by rail, changes in refiner demand, severe weather conditions, significant changes in prices and
interruptions in rail transportation services and other necessary services and equipment, such as railcars, trucks, loading equipment and
qualified drivers.
·
We depend upon marine, pipeline, rail and truck transportation services for a substantial portion of our logistics business in transporting
the products we sell. A disruption in these transportation services could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of
operations.
·
Changes to government usage mandates could adversely affect the availability and pricing of ethanol, which could negatively impact our
sales.
·
Warmer weather conditions could adversely affect our home heating oil and residual oil sales.
·
Our risk management policies cannot eliminate all commodity risk. In addition, noncompliance with our risk management policies could
result in significant financial losses.
·
Our results of operations are affected by the overall forward market for the products we sell.
ii
Table of Contents
·
Our business could be affected by a range of issues, such as changes in commodity prices, energy conservation, competition, the global
economic climate, movement of products between foreign locales and within the United States, changes in refiner demand, weekly and
monthly refinery output levels, changes in local, domestic and worldwide inventory levels, changes in safety regulations, seasonality and
supply, weather and logistics disruptions.

·
Increases and/or decreases in the prices of the products we sell could adversely impact the amount of borrowing available for working
capital under our credit agreement, which credit agreement has borrowing base limitations and advance rates.
·
We are exposed to trade credit risk in the ordinary course of our business.
·
We are exposed to risk associated with our trade credit support in the ordinary course of our business.
·
The condition of credit markets may adversely affect us.
·
Our bank credit agreement and the indenture governing the notes contain operating and financial covenants, and our credit agreement
contains borrowing base requirements. A failure to comply with the operating and financial covenants in our credit agreement, the
indenture and any future financing agreements could impact our access to bank loans and other sources of financing and restrict our
ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in, expand or pursue our business activities.
·
A significant increase in interest rates could adversely affect our ability to service our indebtedness.
·
Our gasoline station and convenience store business could expose us to an increase in consumer litigation and result in an unfavorable
outcome or settlement of one or more lawsuits where insurance proceeds are insufficient or otherwise unavailable.
·
Adverse developments in the areas where we conduct our business could reduce our ability to service our indebtedness.
·
A serious disruption to our information technology systems could significantly limit our ability to manage and operate our business
efficiently.
·
We are exposed to performance risk in our supply chain.
·
Our businesses are subject to both federal and state environmental and non-environmental regulations which could have a material
adverse effect on such businesses.
Additional information about risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements is
contained in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 9 of this prospectus as well as in our 2014 Annual Report and our subsequent periodic filings
with the SEC incorporated by reference herein.
We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update these statements to reflect any change in our expectations or beliefs or any change
in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based, other than as required by applicable law. All forward-looking
statements included in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and all subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

About Global Partners LP
We are a midstream logistics and marketing master limited partnership formed in March 2005 engaged in the purchasing, selling and logistics of
transporting petroleum and related products, including domestic and Canadian crude oil, gasoline and gasoline blendstocks (such as ethanol and
naphtha), distillates (such as home heating oil, diesel and kerosene), residual oil, renewable fuels, natural gas and propane. We also receive revenue
from convenience store sales and gasoline station rental income. We own, control or have access to one of the largest terminal networks of refined
petroleum products and renewable fuels in Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania (collectively, the "Northeast"). We own transload and storage terminals in North Dakota and Oregon that extend our origin-to-destination

capabilities from the mid-continent region of the United States and Canada to the East and West Coasts. We are one of the largest distributors of
gasoline, distillates, residual oil and renewable fuels to wholesalers, retailers and commercial customers in the New England states and New York. As of
December 31, 2014, we had a portfolio of approximately 1,000 owned, leased and/or supplied gasoline stations, including 134 convenience stores,
primarily in the Northeast.

Table of Contents
Collectively, we sold approximately $17.1 billion of refined petroleum products, renewable fuels, crude oil, natural gas and propane for the year
ended December 31, 2014. In addition, we had other revenues of approximately $165.8 million, primarily from convenience store sales at our directly
operated stores and rental income from dealer leased or commission agent leased gasoline stations.
Like most independent marketers of petroleum and related products, we base our pricing on spot prices, fixed prices or indexed prices and routinely
use the NYMEX, CME, ICE or other counterparties to hedge the risk inherent in buying and selling commodities. Through the use of regulated
exchanges or derivatives, we seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between purchased volumes and sales volumes or future delivery
obligations.

incorporated for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of our indebtedness, including the notes. Finance Corp. has no material assets or

interpretation of the staff of the SEC. The exchange offer is not conditioned on a minimum aggregate
principal amount of old notes being tendered. Please read "Exchange Offer--Conditions to the Exchange
Offer" for more information about the conditions to the exchange offer.

We calculated the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Earnings consist of income from
continuing operations before income taxes and before adjustment for noncontrolling interest, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges
consist of interest expense, including accretion of senior notes discount and amortization of deferred financing fees and the
portion of rental expense we estimate to be representative of the interest factor in rent expense.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under Item 1A of our 2014 Annual Report,
together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before participating in the exchange offer. Our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. If any of these risks actually occurs,
our business, and your investment in the notes, could be negatively affected. The risks and uncertainties described below and in the documents
incorporated herein by reference are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as
immaterial, may also negatively affect us and your investment in the notes.
Risks Related to the New Notes
If you do not properly tender your old notes, you will continue to hold unregistered old notes and your ability to transfer old notes will remain
restricted and may be adversely affected.
We will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure
timely delivery of the old notes, and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your old notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent is
required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of old notes.
If you do not exchange your old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer, the old notes you hold will continue to be subject to the
existing transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the old notes except under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
