§ IV·SE-Cluster Issuer Brief

Filing language.

Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.

We intend to continue to grow our business through strategic and accretive acquisitions of sites and wholesale distribution businesses both within our existing area of operations and in new geographic areas.

10-KFY2013

The FTC may review these acquisitions and, in certain cases, we or Couche-Tard may enter into consent decrees to address the FTC’s competitive concerns, including by divesting sites.

10-KFY2018

One of our business strategies is to expand within and beyond our existing locations through acquisitions, either on our own or through joint acquisitions with Couche-Tard.

10-KFY2018

We believe that there is considerable opportunity for consolidation in our industry as the major integrated oil companies continue to divest sites they own and lease

10-KFY2012

Expand within and beyond our core markets through acquisitions.
