American energy supply company Global Partners has completed the sale of 30 non-strategic gasoline stations and convenience stores in New York and Pennsylvania to Mirabito Holdings for approximately $40m.
The transaction includes long-term supply contracts for branded and unbranded gasoline and other petroleum products.
Global Partners president and chief executive officer Eric Slifka said: “The Mirabito transaction reflects our ongoing focus on monetising non-strategic retail sites to further strengthen our balance sheet, and provide additional flexibility to invest in assets that are fundamental to our growth objectives.
“At the same time, establishing long-term supply agreements with the purchaser allows us to continue to earn a supply margin.”
Nearly $28m of the proceeds were used to reduce debt under the partnership’s revolving credit facility, and the remainder will be available for pursuing like-kind exchange transactions to acquire retail gasoline assets.
Global Partners is a logistics and marketing company, which owns and controls one of the largest terminal networks of petroleum products and renewable fuels in the Northeast.
