Forward Looking Statements

This current report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. In this context, forward-looking statements often address future business and financial events, conditions, expectations, plans or ambitions, and often include, but are not limited to, words such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “see,” “target” or similar expressions, or variations or negatives of these words, but not all forward-looking statements include such words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. All such forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates, expectations and ambitions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the control of Sunoco and Parkland, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the completion of the proposed transaction on the anticipated terms and timing, or at all, including obtaining regulatory approvals, court approvals, approval of the listing of the common units of SunocoCorp on the New York Stock Exchange, and receipt of Parkland shareholder approval; and the anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the combined company’s operations, including the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; the ability of Sunoco and Parkland to integrate the business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies and value creation; potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against Sunoco, Parkland or their directors; the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm Sunoco’s or Parkland’s business, including current plans and operations and that management’s time and attention will be diverted on transaction-related issues; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers, competitors or credit rating agencies, resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; the potential for modification or adjustment of the Amended Arrangement Agreement; the parties’ ability to satisfy their respective conditions and consummate the transaction; rating agency actions and Sunoco and Parkland’s ability to access short-and long-term debt markets on a timely and affordable basis; potential business uncertainty, including the outcome of commercial negotiations and changes to existing business relationships during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect Sunoco’s and/or Parkland’s financial performance and operating results; certain restrictions during the pendency of the arrangement that may impact Parkland’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions or otherwise operate its business; dilution caused by Sunoco’s issuance of additional units representing limited partner interests in connection with the proposed transaction; fees, costs and expenses and the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated; and those risks described (i) under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Circular, (ii) under the headings “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” in Parkland’s current Annual Information Form dated March 5, 2025, and under the headings “Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” included in the Q4 2024 Management’s Discussion and Analysis dated March 5, 2025, each as filed on SEDAR+ and available on Parkland’s website at www.parkland.ca, (iii) in Item 1A of Sunoco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025, and (iv) in Item 1A of Sunoco’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2025. Those disclosures are incorporated by reference in this communication. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information, which is as of the date of this communication. Sunoco and Parkland do not intend to update these statements unless required by the securities laws to do so, and Sunoco and Parkland undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication.
