Award of Phantom Unit Grant to Non-Employee Directors. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CrossAmerica GP LLC, the general partner (the “General Partner”) of CrossAmerica Partners LP, a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), approved the grant under the Lehigh Gas Partners LP 2012 Incentive Award (the “Plan”) of phantom units to each of Justin A. Gannon, Mickey Kim, and Kenneth G. Valosky (the “Non-Employee Directors”).
Pursuant to separate Phantom Unit Award Agreements (the “Agreements”), each of Messrs. Gannon, Kim and Valosky has been granted, effective July 23, 2020 (the “Grant Date”), an award of phantom units in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of $55,000 on the Grant Date. The Agreements also include awards of distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”, as defined in the Plan) entitling the holder thereof an amount equal to the distributions authorized to be paid quarterly to holders of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Partnership Units”), which payments shall be made on or about the same date as the distributions to holders of Partnership Units. The phantom units awarded to the Non-Employee Directors will fully vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, conditioned upon continuous service as a Non-Employee Director. Upon vesting, each phantom unit will entitle the holder to receive a Partnership Unit or cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of a Partnership Unit, as determined at the discretion of the Board or a duly appointed committee thereof.
