Asset Exchange Transaction With Circle K

Note 2. ASSET EXCHANGE TRANSACTION WITH CIRCLE K 

Third Asset Exchange

On February 25, 2020, the closing of the third tranche of asset exchanges under the Asset Exchange Agreement, entered into with Circle K on December 17, 2018 (the “Asset Exchange Agreement”), occurred (the “Third Asset Exchange”). In this Third Asset Exchange, Circle K transferred to the Partnership ten (all fee) U.S. company operated convenience and fuel retail stores (“CK Properties”) having an aggregate fair value of approximately $11.0 million, and the Partnership transferred to Circle K the real property for five of the master lease properties (“CAPL Properties”) having an aggregate fair value of approximately $10.3 million.

In connection with the closing of the Third Asset Exchange, the stores transferred by Circle K were dealerized as contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement and Circle K’s rights under the dealer agreements and agent agreements that were entered into in connection therewith were assigned to the Partnership.

We accounted for the first two tranches of the asset exchange as transactions between entities under common control as our General Partner was owned by Circle K at the time of closing on those transactions. Since our General Partner was acquired by the Topper Group in November 2019, the Partnership and Circle K are not entities under common control at the time of closing on the Third Asset Exchange. As such, we have recognized a gain on the sale of the five CAPL properties of $1.8 million in the statement of operations. Additionally, we recorded the following to reflect the acquisition of the CK Properties in the Third Asset Exchange (in thousands):

 

Property and equipment, net

 

$

9,922

 

Intangible assets, net

 

 

1,336

 

Total assets

 

 

11,258

 

 

 

 

 

 

Asset retirement obligations

 

 

293

 

Net assets acquired

 

$

10,965

 

Through the Third Asset Exchange, the fair value of the CAPL Properties we have divested exceeds the fair value of the CK Properties we have acquired by $0.7 million. After the final tranche closing, any net valuation difference will be paid by the party owing such amount to the other.

Fourth and Fifth Asset Exchanges

We closed on the fourth and fifth tranches of the asset exchanges on April 7, 2020 and May 5, 2020, respectively. The stores transferred by Circle K were dealerized as contemplated by the Asset Exchange Agreement and Circle K’s rights under the dealer agreements and agent agreements that were entered into in connection therewith were assigned to the Partnership.

In this fourth asset exchange, Circle K transferred to the Partnership 13 (11 fee; 2 leased) U.S. company operated convenience and fuel retail stores having an aggregate fair value of approximately $13.1 million, and the Partnership transferred to Circle K the real property for seven of the master lease properties having an aggregate fair value of approximately $12.8 million.

In the fifth asset exchange, Circle K transferred to the Partnership 29 (22 fee; 7 leased) U.S. company operated convenience and fuel retail stores having an aggregate fair value of approximately $31.5 million, and the Partnership transferred to Circle K the real property for 13 of the master lease properties having an aggregate fair value of approximately $31.7 million.

There are 24 CK Properties and four CAPL Properties remaining to be exchanged, which are anticipated to close in the second half of 2020.
