Corporate Transaction Analyst

Parkland shareholders must elect consideration by October 17, 2025

The announcement sets the shareholder election deadline for the previously disclosed acquisition by Sunoco. Registered holders must submit their choices by October 17, 2025, and beneficial holders must follow intermediary procedures which may impose earlier cutoffs.

The transaction closing remains conditional on remaining regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, with an expected close in Q4 2025. The primary dependencies are shareholder election rates, intermediary processing timelines, and regulatory clearances; these will determine final mechanics and timing.

Watch the proportion of shares electing cash versus equity, any intermediary-imposed earlier deadlines, and public notices on regulatory approvals ahead of the Q4 2025 close.
