Mergers and Acquisitions | Acquisitions Sunoco LLC and Sunoco Retail LLC Acquisitions On April 1, 2015, we acquired a 31.58% membership interest and 50.1% voting interest in Sunoco LLC from ETP Retail Holdings, LLC (“ETP Retail”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ETP, for total consideration of $775 million in cash (the “Sunoco Cash Consideration”) and 795,482 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership, pursuant to a Contribution Agreement dated March 23, 2015, among the Partnership, ETP Retail and ETP (the “Sunoco LLC Contribution Agreement”). The Sunoco Cash Consideration was financed through issuance by the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunoco Finance Corp. (“SUN Finance”), of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2023 on April 1, 2015. The common units issued to ETP Retail were issued and sold in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sunoco LLC Contribution Agreement, ETP guaranteed all of the obligations of ETP Retail. On November 15, 2015, we entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “ETP Dropdown Contribution Agreement”) with Sunoco LLC, Sunoco, Inc., ETP Retail, our General Partner and ETP. Pursuant to the terms of the ETP Dropdown Contribution Agreement, we agreed to acquire from ETP Retail, effective January 1, 2016, (a) 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Sunoco Retail, an entity that was formed by Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sunoco, Inc., prior to the closing of the ETP Dropdown Contribution Agreement, and (b) 68.42% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Sunoco LLC (the “ETP Dropdown”). Pursuant to the terms of the ETP Dropdown Contribution Agreement, ETP agreed to guarantee all of the obligations of ETP Retail. Immediately prior to the closing of the ETP Dropdown, Sunoco Retail owned all of the retail assets previously owned by Sunoco, Inc. (R&M), an ethanol plant located in Fulton, NY, 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Sunmarks, LLC, and all the retail assets previously owned by Atlantic Refining & Marketing Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunoco, Inc. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ETP Dropdown Contribution Agreement, at the closing of the ETP Dropdown, we paid to ETP Retail $2.2 billion in cash on March 31, 2016, which included working capital adjustments, and issued to ETP Retail 5,710,922 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “ETP Dropdown Unit Consideration”). The ETP Dropdown was funded with borrowings under a term loan agreement. The ETP Dropdown Unit Consideration was issued in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The acquisitions of Sunoco LLC and Sunoco Retail were accounted for as transactions between entities under common control. Specifically, the Partnership recognized the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their respective carrying values with no goodwill created. The Partnership’s results of operations include Sunoco LLC’s and Sunoco Retail’s results of operations beginning September 1, 2014, the date of common control. As a result, the Partnership retrospectively adjusted its financial statements to include the balances and operations of Sunoco LLC and Sunoco Retail from August 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Partnership retrospectively adjusted its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income to include $2.4 billion of Sunoco LLC revenues and $25 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015, $1.5 billion of Sunoco Retail revenues and $11 million of net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as well as $5.5 billion of Sunoco LLC and Sunoco Retail revenues and $73 million of net loss for the period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. The equity of Sunoco LLC and Sunoco Retail prior to the respective acquisitions is presented as predecessor equity in our consolidated financial statements. Susser Acquisition On July 31, 2015, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Susser from Heritage Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (“HHI”), and ETP Holdco Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (“ETP Holdco” and together with HHI, the “Contributors”), for total consideration of approximately $967 million in cash (the “Susser Cash Consideration”), subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments, and issued to the Contributors 21,978,980 Class B Units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership (“Class B Units”) (the “Susser Acquisition”). The Class B Units were identical to the common units in all respects, except such Class B Units were not entitled to distributions payable with respect to the second quarter of 2015. The Class B Units converted, on a one-for-one basis, into common units on August 19, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement dated as of July 14, 2015 among Susser, HHI, ETP Holdco, our General Partner, and ETP (the “Susser Contribution Agreement”), (i) Susser caused its wholly owned subsidiary to exchange its 79,308 common units for 79,308 Class A Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Class A Units”) and (ii) the 10,939,436 subordinated units held by wholly owned subsidiaries of Susser were converted into 10,939,436 Class A Units. The Class A Units were entitled to receive distributions on a pro rata basis with the common units, except that the Class A Units (a) did not share in distributions of cash to the extent such cash was derived from or attributable to any distribution received by the Partnership from PropCo, the Partnership’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, the proceeds of any sale of the membership interests of PropCo, or any interest or principal payments received by the Partnership with respect to indebtedness of PropCo or its subsidiaries and (b) were subordinated to the common units during the subordination period for the subordinated units and were not entitled to receive any distributions until holders of the common units had received the minimum quarterly distribution plus any arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters. In addition, the Partnership issued 79,308 common units and 10,939,436 subordinated units to the Contributors (together with the Class B Units, the “Susser Unit Consideration”) to restore the economic benefit of common units and subordinated units held by wholly owned subsidiaries of Susser that were exchanged or converted, as applicable, into Class A Units. The Susser Unit Consideration was issued and sold to the Contributors in private transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Susser Contribution Agreement, ETP guaranteed all then existing obligations of the Contributors. The Susser Acquisition was accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control. Specifically, the Partnership recognized acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their respective carrying values with no additional goodwill created. The Partnership’s results of operations include Susser’s results of operations beginning September 1, 2014, the date of common control. As a result, the Partnership retrospectively adjusted its financial statements to include the balances and operations of Susser from August 31, 2014. Accordingly, the Partnership retrospectively adjusted its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income to include $2.6 billion of Susser revenues and $18 million of net income for the period from January 1, 2015 through July 31, 2015 as well as $742 million of Susser revenues and $15 million of net loss for the period from September 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. Pre-Susser acquisition equity of Susser is presented as predecessor equity in our consolidated financial statements.

Emerge Fuels Business Acquisition On August 31, 2016, we acquired the fuels business (the “Fuels Business”) from Emerge Energy Services LP (NYSE: EMES) (“Emerge”) for $171 million, inclusive of working capital and other adjustments, which was funded using amounts available under our revolving credit facility. The Fuels Business includes two transmix processing plants with attached refined product terminals located in the Birmingham, Alabama and the Greater Dallas, Texas metroplex and engages in the processing of transmix and the distribution of refined fuels. Combined, the plants can process over 10,000 barrels per day of transmix, and the associated terminals have over 800,000 barrels of storage capacity. Management, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm, has determined fair value of assets and liabilities at the date of the Fuels Business acquisition. We determined the value of goodwill by giving consideration to the following qualitative factors:
• | synergies created through increased fuel purchasing advantages and integration with our existing wholesale business;
• | strategic advantages of owning transmix processing plants and increasing our terminal capacity; and
• | competitors processing transmix in the geographic region.
