Global Partners
Declares Third-Quarter 2026 Cash Distribution of $0.7850 on Common Units
Newton, Mass., October 29, 2026 – Global Partners
LP (NYSE: GLP) (“Global Partners” or the “Partnership”) today announced that the Board of Directors of its general
partner, Global GP LLC, has declared a cash distribution of $0.7850 per unit ($3.14 per unit on an annualized basis) on all of its outstanding
common units for the period from July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026. The distribution will be paid on November 13,
2026 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2026.
Non-U.S. Withholding Information
Concurrent with this announcement we are providing qualified notice
to brokers and nominees that hold Global Partners LP units on behalf of non-U.S. investors under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b) and
(d) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446(f)-4(c)(2)(iii). Brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of
Global Partners LP’s distributions to non-U.S. investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United
States trade or business. In addition, brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of the distributions as being in excess
of cumulative net income for purposes of determining the amount to withhold. Accordingly, Global Partners LP’s distributions to
non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at a rate equal to the highest applicable effective tax rate plus ten
percent (10%). Nominees, and not Global Partners LP, are treated as the withholding agents responsible for withholding on the distributions
received by them on behalf of non-U.S. investors.

Forward-looking Statements
Certain statements and information in this press release may constitute
“forward-looking statements.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,”
“intend,” “foresee,” “should,” “would,” “could” or other similar expressions
are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are generally not historical in nature, although not all forward-looking statements
contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on Global Partners’ current expectations and beliefs
concerning future developments and their potential effect on the Partnership. While management believes that these forward-looking statements
are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Partnership will be those that it anticipates.
Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control) including,
without limitation, uncertainty around the timing of an economic recovery in the United States which will impact the demand for the products
we sell and the services that we provide, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Partnership’s
historical experience and present expectations or projections. We believe these assumptions are reasonable given currently available information.
Our assumptions and future performance are subject to a wide range of business risks, uncertainties and factors, which are described in
our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
For additional information regarding known material factors that could
cause actual results to differ from the Partnership’s projected results, please see Global Partners’ filings with the SEC,
including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Global Partners undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
