Item 8.01 Other Events.
On
June 29, 2026, Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) (the “Partnership”) issued a notice of full redemption to the holders of the
Partnership’s Series B Fixed Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (NYSE: GLP pr B) (CUSIP No. 37946R307)
(the “Series B Preferred Units”) notifying such holders that the Partnership intends to redeem all of its issued and outstanding
Series B Preferred Units on July 30, 2026 (the “Redemption Date” and such redemption, the “Redemption”). After
the Redemption, Series B Preferred Units will no longer be outstanding and all rights of the holders of Series B Preferred Units will
terminate, except the right of such holders to receive the Redemption Price (as defined below). Furthermore, because all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Units are being redeemed, trading of the Series B Preferred Units on the New York Stock Exchange
will cease prior to market open on the Redemption Date.
The redemption price will be equal to $25.00 per
redeemed Series B Preferred Unit, plus an amount equal to all unpaid and accrued distributions thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption
Date, less any applicable tax withholding as required by law (the “Redemption Price”), which will be payable in cash on the
Redemption Date. All of the Series B Preferred Units are maintained in book-entry form registered in the name of The Depository Trust
Company or its nominee and will be redeemed in accordance with the applicable procedures of The Depository Trust Company or such nominee.
Equiniti Trust Company, LLC is acting as the redemption
agent for the Redemption and its address is: 28 Liberty Street, 53rd Floor, New York, New York 10005, Attn: Corporate Actions.
This report does not constitute a notice of redemption
of the Series B Preferred Units and this report does not constitute an offer to sell or buy or the solicitation of an offer to buy or
sell any security. This report contains forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws, including statements
regarding the Redemption and amounts to be used for the Redemption. Although management believes that expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition, these statements are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other assumptions that are difficult to predict and may be beyond our control. If any of these
risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Partnership’s actual results may vary materially
from what management forecasted, anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
