<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">On October 4, 2024, Casey&#8217;s General Stores, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;)
entered into a note purchase agreement (the &#8220;NPA&#8221;) with the purchasers named therein with respect to the issuance of $250,000,000
aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of: (i) $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.23% Senior Notes, Series I,
due November 2, 2031 (the &#8220;Series I Notes&#8221;); and (ii) $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.43% Senior Notes, Series
J, due November 2, 2034 (the &#8220;Series J Notes&#8221;) (collectively, the &#8220;Notes&#8221;). The Series I Notes will be issued
on October 30, 2024 (subject to customary closing conditions), will bear interest at the rate of 5.23% per annum from the date thereof,
payable semi-annually on May 2 and November 2 of each year, and will mature on November 2, 2031. The Series J Notes will be issued on
October 30, 2024 (subject to customary closing conditions), will bear interest at the rate of 5.43% per annum from the date thereof, payable
semi-annually on May 2 and November 2 of each year, and will mature on November 2, 2034. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the
Notes for general corporate purposes, including to fund the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the equity of Fikes Wholesale,
Inc. and Group Petroleum Services, Inc., each, a Texas corporation.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">The NPA allows the Company to prepay all or a portion of the Notes,
in an amount not less than $2,000,000. Any such prepayment shall be at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus the
Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the NPA) determined for the date of prepayment with respect to such principal amount. Any optional prepayment
of less than all of the Notes outstanding shall be allocated pro rata among all of the Notes then outstanding. In the event of a Change
of Control (as defined in the NPA), each holder of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of
such holder&#8217;s Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase
date and the accrued and unpaid Excess Leverage Fee (as defined in the NPA), if any.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">The NPA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants,
addressing, among other matters, the maintenance of the Company&#8217;s corporate existence, compliance with laws and the provisions of
certain financial information and reports. The NPA also contains certain financial-related covenants, including a maximum Consolidated
Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio (each as defined in, and calculated in accordance with, the NPA) (the &#8220;Leverage Ratio&#8221;)
of 4.00:1.00, with a temporary increase to 4.50:1.00 in the case of a certain material acquisitions, subject to payment of an Excess Leverage
Fee (as defined in the NPA); a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; and, a minimum consolidated net worth test. In addition, the Company
agrees to be bound by certain other covenants while the Notes are outstanding, which include, among other matters, maintenance of a Debt
Rating (as defined in the NPA) of BBB-/Baa3 (or its equivalent) or higher (the &#8220;Ratings Maintenance Covenant&#8221;); to amend the
NPA if the Company amends the Company&#8217;s existing credit agreement to include one or more additional covenants or events of default
to include such additional covenant or event of default in the NPA (the &#8220;Most Favored Lender Covenant&#8221;); and certain limitations
on Priority Debt (as defined in the NPA), liens and sales of assets.</p>
