Acquisition of Assets From 7-Eleven

Note 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS FROM 7-ELEVEN

On April 28, 2021, certain newly formed subsidiaries of CrossAmerica, including Joe’s Kwik Marts (collectively, “Buyer”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with 7-Eleven, Inc., a Texas corporation (“7-Eleven”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase certain assets related to the ownership and operations of 106 company operated sites (90 fee; 16 leased) located in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. (collectively, the “Properties”) for an aggregate purchase price of $263.0 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets are being sold by 7-Eleven as part of a divestiture process in connection with its previously announced acquisition of the Speedway business from Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“MPC”).

The assets being purchased by Buyer include real property and leasehold rights to the Properties, and all inventory and other assets located at the Properties, other than specific excluded assets, such as rights to intellectual property or rights with respect to “7-Eleven” or “Speedway” branding. The vast majority of the sites being purchased have been operating under the Speedway brand, and all sites are being rebranded in connection with the closing of such site pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. Buyer is also assuming certain specified liabilities associated with the assets.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, including covenants regarding the conduct of the business at the Properties prior to the applicable closing of such Property.

Buyer is closing the acquisition of the Properties on a rolling basis of generally ten sites per week. In late June 2021, Buyer consummated the initial closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which consisted of two Properties for a purchase price of $4.2 million, as summarized in the table below (in thousands).

Acquisitions and Related Transactions occurring Subsequent to June 30, 2021

Through August 5, 2021, Buyer consummated the acquisition of 32 Properties for an aggregate purchase price of $106.2 million. We are funding these transactions primarily through a new credit facility further described below as well as undrawn capacity under our existing revolving credit facility and cash on hand. We anticipate that we will complete the acquisition early in the fourth quarter of 2021.

JKM Credit Facility

 

On July 16, 2021, CAPL JKM Partners LLC (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica, entered into a Credit Agreement, as amended on July 29, 2021 (the “JKM Credit Facility”) among Borrower, CAPL JKM Holdings LLC (“Holdings”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CrossAmerica and the sole member of Borrower, and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing bank.

 

 

The JKM Credit Facility provides for a $200 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $185 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $15 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility permits up to $7.5 million of swingline borrowings and $5.0 million in letters of credit. The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding under the JKM Credit Facility is equal to, at Borrower’s option, either (i) a base rate plus a margin (which will be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin (which will also be determined based on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio) ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum. Commencing on the earliest of (a) the date on which the entire amount of the Term Loan Facility has been drawn, (b) the date on which the Term Loan Facility has been terminated or reduced to zero pursuant to the JKM Credit Facility, and (c) April 16, 2022, the Term Loan Facility will amortize in equal quarterly installments equal to 1.50% of the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance payable on the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. Letters of credit are subject to a 0.125% fronting fee and other customary administrative charges. Standby letters of credit will accrue a fee at a rate based on the applicable margin of LIBOR loans. In addition, beginning in October 2021, a commitment fee will be charged based on the unused portion of the JKM Credit Facility at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum depending on Borrower’s consolidated leverage ratio. The JKM Credit Facility will mature on July 16, 2026.

 

The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are guaranteed by Holdings and its subsidiaries (other than Borrower) and secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries (including Borrower). The obligations under the JKM Credit Facility are nonrecourse to CrossAmerica and its subsidiaries other than Holdings, Borrower and their respective subsidiaries.

 

The JKM Credit Facility contains customary events of default and covenants, including, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict the ability of Holdings and its subsidiaries to create or incur liens on assets, make investments, incur additional indebtedness, merge or consolidate and dispose of assets. The JKM Credit Facility also contains financial covenants requiring Borrower to comply with, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower commencing with Borrower’s fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 6.25 to 1.00, with step-downs to 6.00 to 1.00, 5.75 to 1.00, 5.50 to 1.00 and 5.25 to 1:00 on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00.

 

If an event of default under the JKM Credit Facility occurs and is continuing, the commitments thereunder may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable.

 

As of August 5, 2021, we had $64.4 million outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.

 

Amendment to CAPL Credit Facility

On July 28, 2021, the Partnership entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2019 (as previously amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2019, the “CAPL Credit Facility”), among the Partnership and Lehigh Gas Wholesale Services, Inc., as borrowers, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Citizens Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Amendment, among other things, (i) amended certain provisions relating to unrestricted subsidiaries, (ii) increased the maximum level for the consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant to 6.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, 5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022, 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, and 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, after which the maximum level generally reverts to 4.75 to 1.00 unless in a specified acquisition period or a qualified note offering has occurred, and (iii) modified the applicable margin for borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility (as amended by the Amendment), such that borrowings will bear interest, at the Partnership’s option, at either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% per annum or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 2.00% per annum (in each case depending on the Partnership’s consolidated leverage ratio).
