Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Underwriting Agreement
On July 15, 2015, Sunoco LP (the Partnership) entered into an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement)
with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as manager of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the Underwriters), providing for the offer and sale by the Partnership, and purchase by the Underwriters, of 5,500,000 common
units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the Units) at a price to the public of $40.10 per Unit (the Firm Units), being $38.897 per Unit to the Partnership, net of underwriting discounts and
commissions (the Equity Offering). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership also granted to the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 825,000 Units at the same price and otherwise on the same terms
as the Firm Units.
The material terms of the Equity Offering are described in the prospectus supplement, dated July 15, 2015 (the
Prospectus), filed by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on July 17, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act). The Units to be sold in the Equity Offering were registered with the Commission pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-203965), which became effective automatically upon filing with the Commission on
May 7, 2015. Certain legal opinions related to the Equity Offering are filed herewith as Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1.
The Underwriting
Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Partnership, and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
The Equity Offering is expected to close on July 21, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Partnership
expects to receive net proceeds from the Equity Offering of approximately $212.9 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Partnership). As described in the Prospectus, the
Partnership intends to use these net proceeds to repay indebtedness under its revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes.
Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various financial advisory, sales
and trading, commercial and investment banking and other financial and non-financial activities and services to the Partnership and its affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. Affiliates of certain of the
Underwriters are lenders under the Partnerships revolving credit facility and, accordingly, will receive a portion of the net proceeds from the Equity Offering.

1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

these net proceeds to fund a portion of the $966.9 million cash consideration payable by the Partnership for its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Susser Holdings Corporation and for
general partnership purposes.

Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. The Partnership has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.
2
Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time

prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time each was filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Regulations. Each document, if
any, filed pursuant to the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus complied when so filed in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder. Each preliminary prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering and the Prospectus was or will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system or any successor system, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.
(b) Accurate Disclosure. Neither the Registration Statement nor any post-effective amendment thereto, at its effective
time contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the Applicable Time, the Closing Date and each Option Closing
Date, if any, (i) the Time of Sale Prospectus and (ii) any individual free writing prospectus, when taken together as a whole with the Time of Sale Prospectus, did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any supplement thereto, as of its issue date, at the time of any
filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), at the Applicable Time or at the Closing Date, will include an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
The representations and warranties in this subsection shall
not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Partnership by any Underwriter through the Manager expressly for use therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the information in the first paragraph under the heading

3
superseded or modified. The foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any free writing prospectus based upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(d) Partnership Not Ineligible Issuer. At the time of filing the Registration Statement and any post-effective
amendment thereto, at the earliest time thereafter that the Partnership or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) of the Securities Act Regulations) of the Units and at the date hereof, the
Partnership was not and is not an ineligible issuer, as defined in Rule 405, without taking account of any determination by the Commission pursuant to Rule 405 that it is not necessary that the Partnership be considered an ineligible
issuer.

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Partnership hereby agrees to sell to the
several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Partnership the respective
numbers of Firm Units set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite its name at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto (the Purchase Price).
On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Partnership
agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Units, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to the number of Additional Units set forth in Schedule I hereto at the Purchase Price, provided, however,
that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Units shall be reduced by an amount per unit equal to any distribution declared by the General Partner and payable on the Firm Units but not payable on such Additional Units. You may
exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice not later than 30 days after the date of the Prospectus. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Units to be
purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such Common Units are to be purchased. Each purchase date must be at least one business day after the written notice is given and may not be earlier than the closing date for the Firm Units nor
later than ten business days after the date of such notice. Additional Units may be purchased as provided in Section 4 hereof solely for the purpose of covering sales of Common Units in excess of the number of the Firm Units. On each day, if
any, that Additional Units are to be purchased (an Option Closing Date), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Units (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional Common
Units as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Units to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Units set forth in Schedule II hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter
bears to the total number of Firm Units.
3. Public Offering. The Partnership is advised by you that the Underwriters
propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Units as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The Partnership is further advised by you that the Units
are to be offered to the public upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
4. Payment and Delivery. Payment for the
Firm Units shall be made to the Partnership in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City on the closing date and time set forth in Schedule I hereto, or at such other time on the same or such other date, not later than the fifth
business day thereafter, as may be designated in writing by you. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the Closing Date.
18
Payment for any Additional Units shall be made to the Partnership in Federal or other funds

designated in writing by you.
The Firm Units and the Additional Units shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as you
shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any transfer taxes payable in connection

8.
Indemnification.
(a) The Partnership agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates
(as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act (each, an Affiliate)), directors, officers, employees, selling agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:
(i) against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in any preliminary
prospectus, any free writing prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement of the foregoing), or any issuer information filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the
Securities Act, or (B) in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, the Partnership in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Units (Marketing Materials), including any road
show or investor presentations made to investors by the Partnership (whether in person or electronically), or the omission or alleged omission in any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus, Prospectus or in any Marketing Materials of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate
amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue
statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 8(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Partnership;
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the
Manager), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
26
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim,
damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(b)
Indemnification of the Partnership. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, each director and officer of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement, and each person,
if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in
Section 8(a) hereof, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.
(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably
practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to
the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to
Section 8(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Manager, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Partnership. An
indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the
indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action
or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.
(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified
27
party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment; provided, however, that if at any time an indemnified party shall have
requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without
its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with
such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 60 days prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or
contribution was or could have been sought under this Section 8 or Section 9 hereof by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to, any findings or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
9. Contribution.
(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Units
pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also
the relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same
respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Units pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Partnership, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, on
the other hand, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Units as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Partnership, on the one hand, and the
Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by the Partnership or by the Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
28
(b) The Partnership and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in Section 9(a) hereof. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to in Section 9(a) hereof shall be deemed to include any legal
counsel expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever
based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting commissions
received by such Underwriter in connection with the Common Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(c) For purposes of this
Section 9, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each Underwriters Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and selling
agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director and officer of the General Partner who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership. The Underwriters respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and
not joint, in proportion to the number of Units set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto.
10. Termination.
The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Partnership if, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited
on, or by, as the case may be, any of The New York Stock Exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Partnership shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking
activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is
material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Units on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
29
11. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective
upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the
case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Units that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Units, which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed
but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Units to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the
number of Firm Units set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Units set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other
proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Common Units which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Common Units that any
Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Common Units without the written consent of
such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Units and the aggregate number of Firm Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than
one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Units to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Partnership for the purchase of such Firm Units are not made within 36 hours after
such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Partnership. In any such case either you or the Partnership shall have the right to postpone
the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If,
on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Units and the aggregate number of Additional Units with respect to which such default occurs is more than
one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Units to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to
purchase the Additional Units to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Units that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any
action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Partnership to
comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Partnership shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Partnership will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters
as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel)
reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
30
12. Entire Agreement.
(a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not
superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Common Units, represents the entire agreement between the Partnership and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus,
the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Common Units.
(b) The Partnership
acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Common Units: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Partnership or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe
the Partnership only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the
Partnership. The Partnership waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Common Units.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as
if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
15. Headings. The headings of the sections of this
Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.
16. Notices. All
communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Partnership shall be delivered, mailed or
sent to the address set forth in Schedule I hereto.
31
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and
return to the Partnership a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Underwriters and the Partnership in accordance with its terms.

Employee Benefit Plan, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of documents and legal matters referred to therein and reviewed by us as described above, fairly summarize such provisions and legal matters in all
material respects, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.
17. The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the

effect to the issuance and sale of the Firm Securities occurring today and the application of proceeds therefrom as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, will not be, an investment company within the meaning of said
term as used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other
representatives of the General Partner and the Issuer, the independent registered public accounting firm for the Issuer, your counsel and your representatives at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the
Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although we have not independently verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (except as and to the extent set forth in paragraphs 16 and 17 above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying with respect to factual matters to the extent we deem
appropriate upon statements by officers and other representatives of the General Partner), (a) we confirm to you that, in our opinion, each of the Registration Statement, as of its most recent effective date, the Preliminary Prospectus, as of
its date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (except that we express no statement or belief as to
Regulation S-T), (b) we have not become aware of any documents that are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and are not so filed or of any documents that are required to be summarized in the Preliminary Prospectus or
the Prospectus, and are not so summarized and (c) furthermore, no facts have come to our attention that have led us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective and as of its most recent effective date,
insofar as relating to the offering of the Firm Securities, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
(ii) the Disclosure Package, as of [ : ] [a.m./p.m] on July [ ], 2015 (which you have informed us is a time prior to the time of the first sale of the Firm Securities by any
Underwriter), insofar as relating to the offering of the Firm Securities, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, or (iii) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, insofar as relating to the offering of the Firm Securities, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state
any
Exhibit A-1-8
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, it being understood that we express no opinion, statement or
belief in this letter with respect to (A) the historical and pro forma financial statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditors report thereon, (B) any other financial or accounting data,
included or incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package and (C) representations and warranties and other statements of fact included in the exhibits
to the Registration Statement or Incorporated Documents.
Furthermore, we advise you that the Registration Statement became effective upon
filing under Rule 462(e) under Securities Act. In addition, based solely on our review of the information made available by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml, we confirm that the SEC has not issued any stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. To our knowledge, based solely on our participation in the conferences mentioned above regarding the Registration Statement, no proceedings for that purpose are pending or have been instituted or
threatened by the SEC.
We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) applicable laws of the State of New
York, (ii) applicable laws of the State of Texas, (iii) applicable laws of the United States of America, (iv) certain other specified laws of the United States of America to the extent referred to specifically herein, (v) the
Delaware LP Act and (vi) the Delaware LLC Act. References herein to applicable laws mean those laws, rules and regulations that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting
Agreement, without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation, and that are not the subject of a specific opinion herein referring expressly to a particular law or laws;
provided however, that such references (including without limitation those appearing in paragraphs 14 and 15 above) do not include any municipal or other local laws, rules or regulations, or any antifraud, environmental, labor,
securities, tax, insurance or antitrust, laws, rules or regulations.
Our opinions expressed herein are subject to the following
additional assumptions and qualifications:
(i) The opinions set forth in paragraph 1 above as to the valid existence and good standing of
the Issuer and the other entities mentioned in such paragraph are based solely upon our review of certificates and other communications from the appropriate public officials.
(ii) In rendering the opinion set forth in paragraph 7 above, we have assumed that the consideration recited in the resolutions of the board
of directors, members, manager, general partner or other governing body serving similar functions of such subsidiary referred to in such paragraph approving the issuance of all the outstanding equity interests of such subsidiary and (b) the
organizational agreement of such subsidiary, as applicable, has been received in full by such subsidiary.
(iii) In making our examination
of executed documents, we have assumed (except to the extent that we expressly opine above) (1) the valid existence and good standing of each of the parties thereto, (2) that such parties had the power and authority, corporate,
partnership, limited
Exhibit A-1-9
liability company or other, to enter into and to incur and perform all their obligations thereunder, (3) the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate, partnership, limited
liability company or other, and the due execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and (4) to the extent such documents purport to constitute agreements, that each of such documents constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms. In this paragraph (iii), all references to parties to documents shall be deemed to mean and include each of such parties, and each other person (if any)
directly or indirectly acting on its behalf.
(iv) With respect to the opinions expressed in the second sentences of each of paragraphs 4,
5, 6 and 7 above, we have relied solely on the Lien Search Results, and we have assumed the completeness and accuracy of the Lien Search Results and that the methodology utilized in generating the Lien Search Results was effective to disclose all
effective uniform commercial code financing statements naming any of ETP, ETC M-A, ETP Retail, the General Partner, the Issuer, Stripes No. 1009 or Stripes as debtor. Furthermore, we have assumed that any uniform commercial code financing
statement filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware naming any of ETP, ETC M-A, ETP Retail, the General Partner or the Issuer as debtor or any uniform commercial code financing statement filed in the office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Texas naming Stripes No. 1009 or Stripes as debtor would have been properly filed and indexed in the records of the Secretaries of State of the States of Delaware and Texas, respectively. We wish to point out
that the DE Search Results purport to disclose all effective uniform commercial code financing statements only through [●], 2015 and the TX Search Results purport to disclose all effective uniform commercial code financing statements only
through [●], 2015, and our opinions referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (iv) are as of that date only.
(v) The
opinion set forth in paragraph 17 above with respect to United States federal income tax consequences is based upon our interpretations of current United States federal income tax law, including court authority and existing final and temporary U.S.
Treasury regulations, which are subject to change both prospectively and retroactively, and upon the assumptions and qualifications discussed herein. We note that such opinion represents merely our best legal judgment on the matters presented and
that others may disagree with our conclusion. Such opinion is not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or courts, and there is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will not successfully challenge our conclusions. No assurance can be
given that future legislative, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retroactive basis, would not adversely affect the accuracy of our conclusions.
This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the sale of the Firm Securities under the Underwriting Agreement occurring
today and is solely for your benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person, including any purchaser of any Security from you and any subsequent purchaser of any
Security, without our express written permission. The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof only and are based on laws, orders, contract terms and provisions, and facts as of such date, and we disclaim any obligation to update this
opinion letter after such date or to advise you of changes of facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in law.

DistributionShort Positions in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may
otherwise have.
(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing
of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Section 8 except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced by such failure (through the forfeiture of substantive rights and defenses) and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that the indemnifying party may have to an indemnified party other than under this
Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent
that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense
31
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying partys election so to assume
the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal counsel expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall
not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel (in each jurisdiction)), which shall be selected by the Representative (in the case of counsel representing the Initial Purchasers or their related
persons), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against
any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for
fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more
than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and
(iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 60 days prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement,
compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any
statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
32
SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is
for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Partnership Parties, on the one hand,
and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities
pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Partnership Parties,
on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set
forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with
respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for purposes of indemnification.
The Partnership
Parties and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or
by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the
discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set
forth opposite their names in Schedule A hereto. For
33
purposes of this Section 9, each Affiliate, director, officer, employee and selling agent of an Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director and officer of the Partnership Parties, and each person, if any, who controls the Partnership Parties within
the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Partnership Parties.
SECTION 10.
Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by notice given to Sunoco if at any time: (a) (i) trading or quotation in any of Sunocos securities shall have
been suspended or limited by the Commission or by The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), or (ii) trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or
maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (b) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or Delaware State
authorities; (c) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any substantial change or
development involving a prospective substantial change in United States or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering sale or delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for the sale of Securities. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be
without liability on the part of (i) the Partnership Parties to any Initial Purchaser, except that the Partnership Parties shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof,
(ii) any Initial Purchaser to the Partnership Parties, or (iii) any party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.
SECTION 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Partnership Parties, their respective officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of any Initial Purchaser, the Partnership Parties or any of their partners, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, selling agents or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 above, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of
and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 17. Governing Law
Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (Related Proceedings) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the
City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the Specified Courts), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
(except for suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding a related judgment, as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any

SECTION 18. Default of One or More of the Several Initial
Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting
Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the
proportions that the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A hereto bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such
other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to

As used in
this Agreement, the term Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 18. Any action taken under this Section 18 shall not relieve any
defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.
SECTION 19. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Partnership Parties acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities
and any related discounts and commissions, is an arms-length commercial transaction between the Partnership Parties, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Partnership Parties are capable of evaluating
and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial
Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Partnership Parties or their respective Affiliates, members, limited partners, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (c) no
Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Partnership Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial
Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Partnership Parties on other matters) or any other obligation to the Partnership Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement; (d) the several Initial Purchasers and
their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Partnership Parties, and the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue

understandings (whether written or oral) between the Partnership Parties and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Partnership Parties hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any claims that the Partnership Parties may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.
SECTION 20. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all
prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the
same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a pdf or

Therefore, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, the

other matters.

Supplement, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or |
|
|
|
the Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the date hereof (together with the Incorporated Documents at those dates), contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; |

Exhibit 99.5
SUNOCO LP
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction
The following unaudited pro
forma combined financial statements of Sunoco LP (SUN) reflects the pro forma impacts of multiple transactions, each of which is described in the following sections. Our unaudited pro forma financial statements as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, reflect the following transactions:
|
|
|
The previously reported October 1, 2014 acquisition of Mid-Atlantic Convenience Stores, LLC (MACS) from Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.
(ETP), the owner of our general partner and a 42.8% limited partner interest in us, for total consideration consisting of (i) $556 million in cash, subject to adjustment for working capital, and (ii) 3,983,540 of our
common units (the MACS Acquisition); |
|
|
|
The previously reported December 16, 2014, acquisition of Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. (Aloha) for cash consideration of $240 million, subject to a
post-closing earn-out and certain closing adjustments (the Aloha Acquisition); |
|
|
|
The previously reported April 1, 2015 acquisition of a 31.58% interest in Sunoco, LLC (Sunoco LLC) from ETP Retail Holdings, LLC (ETP Retail), which is wholly owned by ETP, for
total consideration consisting of approximately $775.0 million in cash and $40.8 million of our common units, including the issuance of $800.0 million of 6.375% senior notes due 2023 (the 2023 notes) (the Sunoco LLC
Acquisition); and |
|
|
|
The pending contribution of Susser Holdings Corporation (Susser) through a Contribution Agreement (Contribution Agreement) between Susser, Sunoco GP LLC, our general partner, ETP Holdco
Corporation, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (ETP Holdco), and Heritage Holdings, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (Heritage Holdings), for total consideration consisting of approximately
$967.0 million of our Class B units and $967.0 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments, comprised of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the concurrent offering of $600.0 million in senior notes and the issuance of
5.5 million common units at $44.10 per common unit for estimated aggregate net proceeds of approximately $212.9 million (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) (the Susser Acquisition).
|
The historical financial information included in the column entitled SUN was derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements included in SUNs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in SUNs
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations assumes that the above transactions were consummated as of January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes that the above transactions (other than the MACS Acquisition and the Aloha Acquisition) were
completed as of March 31, 2015. The MACS Acquisition and Aloha Acquisition are already reflected in our balance sheet as of March 31, 2015. The pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2014 of the MACS Acquisition, Aloha
Acquisition, and Sunoco LLC Acquisition were previously provided in our Current Report on Form 8-K on April 2, 2015.
MACS Acquisition
On September 25,
2014, SUN entered into a contribution agreement with MACS, ETC M-A Acquisition LLC (ETC) and ETP, whereby SUN agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of MACS
from ETC for $556 million in cash, subject to adjustment for working capital, and 3,983,540 SUN common units. SUN initially financed the cash portion of the purchase price by utilizing availability under its revolving credit facility,
subsequently raising net proceeds of $405 million from the sale of 9.1 million common units which were used to repay revolver borrowing. The MACS Acquisition was completed on October 1, 2014.
SUN is accounting for the acquisition of MACS as a transfer of net assets between entities under common control. As such, the MACS assets
acquired from ETP have been recorded by SUN at ETPs historic carrying value, and SUN has included the activities of MACS in its 2014 audited financial statements as of the September 1, 2014 date of common control for accounting purposes.
Financial statements for MACS were previously provided as attachments 99.2 and 99.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A on October 21, 2014.
1
Aloha Acquisition
On September 25, 2014, SUN and Susser Petroleum Property Company LLC (Propco), a wholly owned subsidiary of SUN, entered
into a purchase and sale agreement in which SUN and Propco agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Aloha for base consideration of $240 million in cash, subject to a
post-closing earn-out and certain closing adjustments. Consummation of the Aloha Acquisition occurred on December 16, 2014. SUN financed the purchase of Aloha by
utilizing availability under its revolving credit facility. SUNs management currently plans to contribute certain assets from Propco to SUN at a future date; however, the impact of this discretionary management action is not included in the
accompanying pro forma combined financial information.
The pro forma adjustments reflect a preliminary purchase price allocation. The
carrying values of assets and liabilities (excluding intangibles and non-current liabilities) in this preliminary estimate were assumed to approximate their fair values. Our identifiable intangible assets
consist primarily of dealer relationships. The amount of goodwill preliminarily recorded represents the excess of our estimated enterprise value over the fair value of our assets and liabilities. The value of certain assets and liabilities are
preliminary in nature, and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. As a result, material adjustments to this preliminary allocation may occur in the
future. Management is reviewing the valuation and confirming the results to determine the final purchase price allocation.
Sunoco LLC Acquisition
On March 23, 2015, we entered into a contribution agreement with ETP Retail and ETP to acquire a 31.58% membership interest in
Sunoco, LLC, for total consideration of $775 million in cash and $40.8 million of our common units. We have a 50.1% voting interest in Sunoco, LLC. The Sunoco LLC Acquisition was completed on April 1, 2015.
SUN is accounting for the Sunoco LLC Acquisition as a transfer of net assets under common control. As such, the Sunoco LLC assets acquired
from ETP have been recorded by SUN at ETPs historic carrying value, and SUN will recast its historical financial statements to include the operations of Sunoco, LLC as of the September 1, 2014 date of common control for accounting
purposes. Because we will have a controlling interest in Sunoco LLC as a result of our 50.1% voting interest, our pro forma financial results and balance sheet reflect the results of Sunoco LLC on a consolidated basis, which means that,
except as otherwise indicated, our pro forma financial results and balance sheet reflect 100% of the assets and operations of Sunoco LLC, even though our pro forma economic interest is only 31.58%.
Susser Acquisition
On July 14, 2015 we,
as the acquirer, entered into a Contribution Agreement with Susser, our general partner, ETP Holdco Corporation, and Heritage Holdings, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Susser,
which we will immediately contribute to SPOC and immediately thereafter, cause SPOC to contribute to PropCo. Total consideration will be $967.0 million in cash and $967.0 million of our common units.
Adjustments for the above-listed transactions are presented in the following schedules, and further
described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the SEC. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes thereto.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial
position that we actually would have achieved if the transactions had been consummated on the dates indicated, nor do they project our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.

(o) |
To eliminate the eight months of SUN activity included in Sussers historical financial statements, as Susser consolidated SUN prior to the ETP Merger. |
(p) |
To eliminate purchase and sale transactions of fuel between Susser and SUN. Sun has a long-term distribution contract under which it is the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to Sussers existing Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations, and to all future sites purchased by the Partnership pursuant to the sale and leaseback option under the Omnibus Agreement
(see below), at cost, including tax and transportation costs, plus a fixed profit margin of three cents per gallon. In addition, all future motor fuel volumes purchased for its own account will be added to the distribution contract pursuant to the
terms of the Omnibus Agreement. |
(q) |
To eliminate the rental income on the sale-leaseback transactions between Susser and SUN. Sun entered into an Omnibus Agreement with Susser pursuant to which, among other things, Sun received a three-year option to
purchase from Susser up to 75 of Sussers new or recently constructed Stripes® convenience stores at their cost and lease the stores back to them at a specified rate for a 15-year initial
term, and we will be the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to such stores for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. We also received a ten-year right to participate in acquisition opportunities with Susser, to the extent we and Susser
are able to reach an agreement on terms, and the exclusive right to distribute motor fuel to certain of Sussers newly constructed convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. The Omnibus Agreement also provides for
certain indemnification obligations between Susser and the Partnership. |
(r) |
To eliminate assets and related depreciation related to the sale-leaseback transactions between Susser and SUN (see note (q) above). |
(s) |

treated as financing obligations by the Company (see note (q) above). |
(t) |
To reflect the issuance of $600.0 million senior notes in connection with the Susser Acquisition. Cash interest expense is based on the notes issued at par and at a 5.500% coupon. Estimated $7.5 million loan
issuance expenses related to the new senior notes to be recorded as an intangible asset with a five year amortization, and $1.5 million and $0.4 million amortization expense included in non-cash interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. Additionally, reflects interest expense on the $161.4 million draw on our revolving credit facility required to finance the cash payment made to
ETP including the loan issuance costs. A borrowing rate of 2.2% is assumed for the entire period presented. |
(u) |
To eliminate the equity method accounting effects of SUN for the period between September 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, after the ETP Merger. Prior to September 2014, SUSS owned approximately 50% of the SUN
common and subordinated units representing limited partner interests and owned 100% of SUNs general partner, Susser Petroleum Partners GP LLC (General Partner). Accordingly, Susser consolidated SUN prior to September 1, 2014 and
reflected a noncontrolling interest. Subsequent to the ETP Merger, ETP acquired ownership of General Partner and the IDRs held by Susser for $83.0 million. Investments in affiliated companies in which the company exercises significant influence, but
which it does not control, are accounted for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements under the equity method of accounting. As such, the Companys investment in SUN is accounted for under the equity method of accounting effective
from September 1, 2014. |
