Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Global Partners LP (GLP) filed an 8-K to disclose completion of a $450 million private placement of 7.125% senior notes due 2033. The notes, issued by GLP and wholly-owned subsidiary GLP Finance Corp., were executed under an Indenture dated 23 June 2025 with Regions Bank as trustee and are joint-and-several senior unsecured obligations of the issuers and designated guarantor subsidiaries.

Key terms: the notes mature 1 July 2033; interest accrues at 7.125% and is payable semi-annually beginning 1 January 2026. Prior to 1 July 2028 the issuers may redeem up to 35% with equity-offering proceeds at 107.125% of par, or redeem all notes at a make-whole price. Thereafter, optional redemption prices step down to 103.563% (2028-29), 101.781% (2029-30) and 100% from 1 July 2030 forward.

The Indenture contains restrictive covenants limiting additional indebtedness, preferred unit issuance, restricted payments, subsidiary distributions, liens, asset sales and mergers. Events of default include non-payment, covenant breaches, certain bankruptcy events and cross-acceleration/payment defaults over $50 million, as well as judgment defaults exceeding $50 million.

Use of proceeds: GLP applied the net proceeds to (i) fund a cash tender offer purchasing a portion of its outstanding 7.00% senior notes due 2027 and (ii) repay borrowings under its credit agreement. Any 2027 notes not tendered will be fully redeemed at 100% of principal plus accrued interest on or about 1 August 2025, following delivery of a redemption notice to the trustee.

Strategic impact: the transaction extends GLP’s debt maturity profile by six years, reduces near-term refinancing risk and partially de-leverages the revolving credit facility, though it locks in a coupon 12.5 basis points higher than the retired 2027 notes and increases unsecured debt until the redemption and credit-facility pay-down are completed.

Global Partners LP (GLP) ha presentato un modulo 8-K per comunicare il completamento di un collocamento privato da 450 milioni di dollari di note senior al 7,125% con scadenza 2033. Le note, emesse da GLP e dalla sua controllata interamente posseduta GLP Finance Corp., sono state stipulate in base a un Atto di Obbligazione datato 23 giugno 2025 con Regions Bank come trustee e rappresentano obbligazioni senior non garantite con responsabilità solidale degli emittenti e delle controllate designate come garanti.

Termini chiave: le note scadono il 1° luglio 2033; gli interessi maturano al 7,125% e sono pagabili semestralmente a partire dal 1° gennaio 2026. Prima del 1° luglio 2028, gli emittenti possono riscattare fino al 35% con i proventi di un’offerta azionaria al 107,125% del valore nominale, oppure riscattare tutte le note a un prezzo make-whole. Successivamente, i prezzi di rimborso opzionale scendono al 103,563% (2028-29), 101,781% (2029-30) e 100% dal 1° luglio 2030 in poi.

L’Atto di Obbligazione contiene covenant restrittivi che limitano l’indebitamento aggiuntivo, l’emissione di quote privilegiate, i pagamenti vincolati, le distribuzioni dalle controllate, i gravami, la vendita di attività e le fusioni. Eventi di inadempienza includono mancato pagamento, violazioni dei covenant, certi eventi di fallimento e inadempienze incrociate per oltre 50 milioni di dollari, oltre a inadempienze relative a sentenze superiori a 50 milioni.

Utilizzo dei proventi: GLP ha impiegato i proventi netti per (i) finanziare un’offerta in contanti per l’acquisto di una parte delle sue note senior al 7,00% con scadenza 2027 in circolazione e (ii) rimborsare i prestiti nell’ambito del suo accordo di credito. Qualsiasi nota 2027 non offerta sarà completamente rimborsata al 100% del capitale più interessi maturati intorno al 1° agosto 2025, dopo la comunicazione di rimborso al trustee.

Impatto strategico: l’operazione estende il profilo di scadenza del debito di GLP di sei anni, riduce il rischio di rifinanziamento a breve termine e riduce parzialmente l’indebitamento della linea di credito revolving, pur bloccando un coupon superiore di 12,5 punti base rispetto alle note 2027 ritirate e aumentando il debito non garantito fino al completamento del rimborso e del pagamento del credito.

Global Partners LP (GLP) presentó un formulario 8-K para revelar la finalización de una colocación privada de 450 millones de dólares de notas senior al 7,125% con vencimiento en 2033. Las notas, emitidas por GLP y su subsidiaria de propiedad total GLP Finance Corp., se ejecutaron bajo un Contrato de Emisión fechado el 23 de junio de 2025 con Regions Bank como fiduciario y son obligaciones senior no garantizadas y solidarias de los emisores y las subsidiarias garante designadas.

Términos clave: las notas vencen el 1 de julio de 2033; los intereses se acumulan al 7,125% y se pagan semestralmente a partir del 1 de enero de 2026. Antes del 1 de julio de 2028, los emisores pueden redimir hasta el 35% con los ingresos de una oferta de acciones al 107.125% del valor nominal, o redimir todas las notas a un precio make-whole. Posteriormente, los precios de redención opcionales disminuyen a 103.563% (2028-29), 101.781% (2029-30) y 100% a partir del 1 de julio de 2030.

El Contrato incluye cláusulas restrictivas que limitan la deuda adicional, emisión de unidades preferentes, pagos restringidos, distribuciones de subsidiarias, gravámenes, ventas de activos y fusiones. Eventos de incumplimiento incluyen falta de pago, incumplimiento de cláusulas, ciertos eventos de bancarrota y aceleración o incumplimiento cruzado por más de 50 millones de dólares, así como incumplimientos de sentencias que superen los 50 millones.

Uso de los fondos: GLP aplicó los ingresos netos para (i) financiar una oferta de compra en efectivo para adquirir parte de sus notas senior al 7,00% con vencimiento en 2027 en circulación y (ii) pagar préstamos bajo su acuerdo de crédito. Cualquier nota 2027 no ofrecida será redimida completamente al 100% del principal más intereses acumulados alrededor del 1 de agosto de 2025, tras la entrega de un aviso de redención al fiduciario.

Impacto estratégico: la transacción extiende el perfil de vencimiento de la deuda de GLP por seis años, reduce el riesgo de refinanciamiento a corto plazo y disminuye parcialmente el apalancamiento de la línea de crédito revolvente, aunque fija un cupón 12.5 puntos básicos más alto que las notas 2027 retiradas y aumenta la deuda no garantizada hasta que se completen el reembolso y el pago de la línea de crédito.

Global Partners LP (GLP)4억 5천만 달러 규모의 7.125% 선순위 채권(2033년 만기) 사모 발행 완료를 공시하기 위해 8-K 보고서를 제출했습니다. 이 채권은 GLP와 전액 출자 자회사인 GLP Finance Corp.에서 발행했으며, 2025년 6월 23일 자 계약서에 따라 Regions Bank가 수탁자로 지정되어 있으며, 발행사와 지정된 보증 자회사의 연대 책임이 있는 무담보 선순위 채무입니다.

주요 조건: 채권 만기는 2033년 7월 1일이며, 이자는 7.125%로 계산되어 2026년 1월 1일부터 반기별로 지급됩니다. 2028년 7월 1일 이전에는 발행사가 주식 공모 수익금으로 최대 35%를 액면가의 107.125%에 상환할 수 있으며, 또는 전액을 메이크홀 가격으로 상환할 수 있습니다. 이후 선택적 상환 가격은 2028-29년 103.563%, 2029-30년 101.781%, 2030년 7월 1일부터 100%로 단계적으로 낮아집니다.

계약서에는 추가 부채, 우선주 발행, 제한 지급, 자회사 배당, 담보권, 자산 매각 및 합병을 제한하는 제한 조항이 포함되어 있습니다. 채무 불이행 사건에는 미지급, 계약 위반, 특정 파산 사건, 5천만 달러 초과의 교차 가속화/지급 불이행 및 5천만 달러 초과 판결 불이행이 포함됩니다.

자금 사용: GLP는 순자금을 (i) 2027년 만기 7.00% 선순위 채권 일부 매입을 위한 현금 공개 매수에 사용하고, (ii) 신용 계약에 따른 차입금 상환에 적용했습니다. 공개 매수에 응하지 않은 2027년 채권은 2025년 8월 1일경 수탁자에게 상환 통지를 한 후 원금 및 미지급 이자를 포함해 100% 전액 상환됩니다.

전략적 영향: 이번 거래는 GLP의 부채 만기 구조를 6년 연장하고 단기 재융자 위험을 줄이며 회전 신용 한도의 레버리지를 부분적으로 낮추지만, 상환된 2027년 채권보다 12.5bp 높은 쿠폰을 고정하고 상환 및 신용 한도 상환 완료 시까지 무담보 부채가 증가합니다.

Global Partners LP (GLP) a déposé un formulaire 8-K pour annoncer la réalisation d’un placement privé de 450 millions de dollars de obligations senior à 7,125 % échéant en 2033. Les obligations, émises par GLP et sa filiale détenue à 100 % GLP Finance Corp., ont été conclues en vertu d’un contrat daté du 23 juin 2025 avec Regions Bank en tant que fiduciaire, et constituent des engagements senior non garantis et solidaires des émetteurs et des filiales garantes désignées.

Principaux termes : les obligations arrivent à échéance le 1er juillet 2033 ; les intérêts courent au taux de 7,125 % et sont payables semestriellement à partir du 1er janvier 2026. Avant le 1er juillet 2028, les émetteurs peuvent racheter jusqu’à 35 % avec les produits d’une offre d’actions au prix de 107,125 % de la valeur nominale, ou racheter la totalité des obligations à un prix make-whole. Par la suite, les prix de rachat facultatifs diminuent à 103,563 % (2028-29), 101,781 % (2029-30) et 100 % à partir du 1er juillet 2030.

Le contrat contient des clauses restrictives limitant l’endettement supplémentaire, l’émission d’unités privilégiées, les paiements restreints, les distributions des filiales, les privilèges, les ventes d’actifs et les fusions. Les événements de défaut comprennent les défauts de paiement, les violations des clauses, certains événements de faillite, ainsi que les défauts croisés d’accélération/paiement supérieurs à 50 millions de dollars, ainsi que les défauts de jugement dépassant 50 millions.

Utilisation des fonds : GLP a utilisé les produits nets pour (i) financer une offre au comptant visant à racheter une partie de ses obligations senior à 7,00 % échéant en 2027 en circulation et (ii) rembourser les emprunts au titre de son accord de crédit. Les obligations 2027 non proposées seront entièrement remboursées à 100 % du principal plus les intérêts courus vers le 1er août 2025, après notification de rachat au fiduciaire.

Impact stratégique : la transaction prolonge le profil d’échéance de la dette de GLP de six ans, réduit le risque de refinancement à court terme et diminue partiellement l’effet de levier sur la facilité de crédit renouvelable, bien qu’elle fige un coupon supérieur de 12,5 points de base par rapport aux obligations 2027 retirées et augmente la dette non garantie jusqu’à l’achèvement du remboursement et du paiement de la facilité de crédit.

Global Partners LP (GLP) hat eine 8-K-Meldung eingereicht, um den Abschluss einer 450-Millionen-Dollar-Privatplatzierung von 7,125% Senior Notes mit Fälligkeit 2033 bekanntzugeben. Die von GLP und der vollständig im Besitz befindlichen Tochtergesellschaft GLP Finance Corp. ausgegebenen Notes wurden auf Grundlage einer Schuldverschreibung vom 23. Juni 2025 mit Regions Bank als Treuhänder ausgegeben und sind gemeinsame und mehrere unbesicherte Seniorverbindlichkeiten der Emittenten und der bezeichneten Garantie-Tochtergesellschaften.

Wesentliche Bedingungen: Die Notes laufen am 1. Juli 2033 ab; die Zinsen betragen 7,125% und werden halbjährlich ab dem 1. Januar 2026 gezahlt. Vor dem 1. Juli 2028 können die Emittenten bis zu 35 % mit Erlösen aus einer Eigenkapitalemission zum Preis von 107,125 % des Nennwerts zurückzahlen oder alle Notes zu einem Make-Whole-Preis einlösen. Danach sinken die optionalen Rückzahlungspreise auf 103,563 % (2028-29), 101,781 % (2029-30) und ab dem 1. Juli 2030 auf 100 %.

Die Schuldverschreibung enthält einschränkende Vereinbarungen, die zusätzliche Verschuldung, die Ausgabe von Vorzugsanteilen, eingeschränkte Zahlungen, Ausschüttungen von Tochtergesellschaften, Belastungen, Vermögensverkäufe und Fusionen begrenzen. Verzugsauslöser umfassen Zahlungsverzug, Vertragsverletzungen, bestimmte Insolvenzereignisse sowie Querverzug/-zahlungsverzug bei Beträgen über 50 Millionen US-Dollar und Urteilsverzug über 50 Millionen US-Dollar.

Verwendung der Erlöse: GLP verwendete die Nettoerlöse, um (i) ein Barangebot zum Rückkauf eines Teils seiner ausstehenden 7,00% Senior Notes mit Fälligkeit 2027 zu finanzieren und (ii) Darlehen im Rahmen seines Kreditvertrags zurückzuzahlen. Nicht angebotene 2027er Notes werden am oder um den 1. August 2025 vollständig zu 100 % des Nennwerts zuzüglich aufgelaufener Zinsen zurückgezahlt, nachdem eine Rückzahlungsmitteilung an den Treuhänder übermittelt wurde.

Strategische Auswirkungen: Die Transaktion verlängert das Fälligkeitsprofil von GLP um sechs Jahre, verringert das kurzfristige Refinanzierungsrisiko und reduziert teilweise die Verschuldung der revolvierenden Kreditfazilität, obwohl sie einen Kupon von 12,5 Basispunkten über den zurückgezogenen 2027er Notes festlegt und die unbesicherte Verschuldung bis zum Abschluss der Rückzahlung und Kreditfazilitätsrückzahlung erhöht.

Positive
  • Extended maturity profile: replaces 2027 notes with 2033 notes, reducing near-term refinancing pressure by six years.
  • Liquidity enhancement: proceeds repay part of the revolving credit facility, increasing available secured borrowing capacity.
Negative
  • Higher coupon expense: new 7.125% rate exceeds retired 7.00% notes, marginally increasing annual interest costs.
  • Incremental unsecured leverage: issuance adds long-dated unsecured debt, elevating leverage until full redemption and credit pay-down occur.

Insights

TL;DR: $450 m 7.125% notes refinance 2027 debt, extend maturity, modestly higher coupon; credit-positive overall.

The private placement replaces nearer-term 7.00% 2027 notes with 2033 paper, adding six years of tenor and eliminating a 2027 wall. While the coupon is marginally higher (7.125% vs 7.00%), the difference is minimal relative to the duration gain and current high-yield market levels. Proceeds also reduce revolver borrowings, freeing secured capacity. Covenant package appears standard for GLP’s credit profile and preserves flexibility for growth capex. Given the limited incremental interest expense and substantial de-risking of the maturity schedule, I view the deal as credit-accretive.

TL;DR: Leverage unchanged; unsecured issuance raises structural subordination risk but maturity extension offsets—net neutral.

Issuing unsecured notes to retire similar-sized 2027 notes and pay down revolver is largely leverage-neutral. However, because the new notes are unsecured and pari passu with existing senior notes, structural subordination to secured bank debt remains. The 12.5 bp coupon increase is minor, yet total interest cost rises until revolver balance is fully repaid. The covenant suite limits risk but still allows meaningful incremental debt. Overall risk profile moderately improves on timing but not on leverage; therefore, I assign a neutral impact.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 23, 2025, Global Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), and GLP Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), completed their previously announced private placement of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 7.125% senior notes due 2033 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of June 23, 2025 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, certain subsidiaries of the Partnership as guarantors (the “Guarantors”) and Regions Bank, as trustee.

 

The Notes will mature on July 1, 2033 with interest accruing at a rate of 7.125% per annum. Interest will be payable beginning January 1, 2026 and thereafter semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year.  The Notes are guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.  Upon a continuing event of default, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the Notes immediately due and payable, except that an event of default resulting from entry into a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Issuers, any restricted subsidiary of the Partnership that is a significant subsidiary or any group of its restricted subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary of the Partnership, will automatically cause the outstanding Notes to become due and payable.

 

At any time prior to July 1, 2028, the Issuers have the option to redeem up to 35% of the Notes, in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 107.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.  The Issuers will have the option to redeem all or part of the Notes at any time on or after July 1, 2028, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) of 103.563% for the twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2028, 101.781% for the twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2029, and 100% beginning on July 1, 2030 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.  In addition, prior to July 1, 2028, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus a make whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.  The holders of the Notes may require the Issuers to repurchase the Notes following certain asset sales or a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture) at the prices and on the terms specified in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the Partnership’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred securities, make certain dividends and distributions, make certain investments and other restricted payments, restrict distributions by its subsidiaries, create liens, sell assets or merge with other entities. Events of default under the Indenture include, but are not limited to, (i) a default in payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes, (ii) breach of the Partnership’s covenants under the Indenture, (iii) certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, (iv) any payment default or acceleration of indebtedness of the Partnership or certain subsidiaries if the total amount of such indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0 million and (v) failure to pay within 60 days uninsured final judgments exceeding $50.0 million.

 

A copy of the Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The description of the Indenture contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such exhibit.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information included, or incorporated by reference, in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes were used to fund the purchase of a portion of the Issuers’ outstanding 7.00% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) in a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and to repay a portion of the borrowings outstanding under the Partnership’s credit agreement.

 

 

 

 

On June 23, 2025, the Issuers delivered their Notice of Full Redemption to Regions Bank, as trustee, for all outstanding 2027 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer. The redemption price for the 2027 Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. The redemption of the 2027 Notes is expected to occur on or about August 1, 2025.
