All securities being registered will be issued by ARKO Corp., a Delaware Corporation (“New Parent”). In connection with the business combination described in this registration statement and the enclosed proxy statement/prospectus (the “Business Combination”), (a) Punch US Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, will be merged with and into Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Haymaker”), and each outstanding share of Class A common stock of Haymaker, par value $0.0001 per share (“Haymaker Class A Common Stock”), will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of New Parent, par value $0.0001 (the “New Parent Common Stock”), and each outstanding warrant of Haymaker, each entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (each, a “Haymaker Warrant”), will be converted into the right to receive a warrant to purchase one share of New Parent Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (each, a “New Parent Warrant”) and (b) Punch Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel, will merge with and into ARKO Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Arko”), with Arko surviving the merger, and the holders of ordinary shares of Arko, par value 0.01 New Israeli Shekel (NIS 0.01) per share (the “Arko Ordinary Shares”), will exchange their Arko Ordinary Shares for shares of New Parent Common Stock, and Arko will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New Parent.

(2)

Consists of shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange for outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, including shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock included in outstanding units of Haymaker (“units”), each unit consisting of one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and one-third of one Haymaker Warrant. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, all units will be separated into their component securities, which will be exchanged for equivalent securities of New Parent.

(3)	Consists of shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange for Arko Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), assuming all Arko shareholders elect to receive stock consideration only.

(4)

The actual number of shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable to shareholders of Arko will be determined pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and is dependent on the actual elections of the holders of Arko Ordinary Shares. While the exact number of shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued at the closing of the Business Combination cannot be known as of the filing of this Registration Statement, New Parent believes that, based on the assumptions underlying the calculation of the registration fee (as set forth in footnote (3) above), the actual number of shares of New Parent Common Stock issued will not be greater than those set forth in the Calculation of the Registration Fee table.

(5)	Consists of New Parent Warrants issuable in exchange for outstanding Haymaker Warrants, including Haymaker Warrants included in outstanding units.

(6)	Consists of New Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of New Parent Warrants. Each New Parent warrant will entitle the warrant holder to purchase one share of New Parent Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment).

(7)	Pursuant to Rule 416(a), there are also being registered an indeterminable number of additional securities as may be issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

(8)

Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price is equal to the product obtained by multiplying $10.12, which represents the average of the high and low prices of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 4, 2020, by (a) 40,000,000, the estimated number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (including shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock that may be redeemed pursuant to the terms of Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock included in the units).

(9)

Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f)(1) under the Securities Act and solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price is equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) 22.23 New Israeli Shekels , or $6.58 (based on the exchange rate reported by the Bank of Israel on September 7, 2020), which represents the average of the high and low prices of the Arko Ordinary Shares, as reported on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on September 7, 2020, by (b) 25,949,349, the estimated number of shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable in respect to the Arko Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, excluding the estimated number of shares to be held by each of Arie Kotler and Morris Willner, and assuming all Arko shareholders elect to receive stock consideration only.

(10)

Pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(f)(1) under the Securities Act and solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price is equal to the product obtained by multiplying $1.3104, which represents the average of the high and low prices of Haymaker Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 4, 2020, by (a) 13,333,333, the estimated maximum number of Haymaker Warrants that will be outstanding and registered by New Parent immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

(11)	No separate registration fee required pursuant to Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(12)	Determined in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Securities Act at a rate equal to $129.80 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum aggregate offering price.

(13)	Paid herewith.

The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, or until this Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

The information in this preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities described herein may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is declared effective. This preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 10, 2020

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS OF HAYMAKER ACQUISITION CORP. II

Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II

650 Fifth Avenue, Floor 10

New York, NY 10019

Dear Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II Stockholders:

Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Haymaker”), ARKO Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with, unless the context otherwise requires, its consolidated subsidiaries for periods following the Business Combination (“New Parent”)), Punch US Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”), Punch Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Merger Sub II”), and ARKO Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Arko”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub I will merge with and into Haymaker, with Haymaker surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “First Merger”), and then Merger Sub II will merge with and into Arko, with Arko surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “Second Merger,” and collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement and the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the “Business Combination”). Arko, as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Parent, will maintain a registered office in the State of Israel. The First Merger shall become effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the “DGCL”) (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “First Effective Time”). The Second Merger shall become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger for the Second Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the Companies Law 5759-1999 of the State of Israel (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “ICL”) (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “Second Effective Time”).

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, New Parent, Haymaker and each of the entities that are party thereto and listed on Exhibit B thereto (the “GPM Minority Investors”) entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “GPM Equity Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, at the closing of the Business Combination, New Parent will purchase, directly or indirectly, from the GPM Minority Investors their equity interests in GPM Investments, LLC (“GPM”) in exchange for shares of common stock of New Parent, par value $0.0001 (“New Parent Common Stock”). As a result of the Business Combination, New Parent will indirectly own 100% of GPM, which operates Arko’s current business.

Each warrant to purchase shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock is exercisable for one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50, as contemplated under the Haymaker Warrant Agreement (a “Haymaker Warrant”). At the First Effective Time, each Haymaker Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will, pursuant to the terms of that certain warrant agreement, dated June 6, 2019, by and between Haymaker and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as amended by the warrant, assignment, assumption and amendment agreement, dated as of the date of the closing of the Business Combination, by and among Haymaker, New Parent, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (as so amended, the “Haymaker Warrant Agreement”), cease to represent the right to acquire one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and shall be converted in accordance with the terms of such Haymaker Warrant Agreement, at the First Effective Time, into a right to acquire one share of New Parent Common Stock (each, a “New Parent Warrant” and collectively, the “New Parent Warrants”) on substantially the same terms that were in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time under the terms of the Haymaker Warrant Agreement.

of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 1, and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 2 (such shares, the “Deferred Shares”). “Trigger Event 1” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP (as defined below) of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 5-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Trigger Event 2” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 7-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Required VWAP” means either (A) the 5-day volume weighed average price, if the average daily trading volume during such 5-day period equals or exceeds the average daily trading volume for the 180-day period following the Closing or (B) the 20-day volume weighted average price.

At the Second Effective Time, each ordinary share, par value 0.01 New Israeli Shekel (NIS 0.01) per share, of Arko (all such issued and outstanding shares, including those to be issued in respect of Arko’s restricted stock units, are collectively referred to as the “Arko Ordinary Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be cancelled and, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, each holder of Arko Ordinary Shares will receive the following consideration, at such holder’s election:

Option A (Stock Consideration): The number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Parent (“New Parent Common Stock”) equal to the quotient of (i) such holder’s Consideration Value divided by (ii) $10.00.

Option B (Mixed Consideration): (A) a cash amount equal to 10% of such holder’s Consideration Value (the “Cash Option B Amount”) plus (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Parent Common Stock equal to (i) such holder’s Consideration Value divided by $10.00, minus (ii) such holder’s Cash Option B Amount divided by $8.50.

Option C (Mixed Consideration): (A) a cash amount equal to 20.913% of such holder’s Consideration Value (the “Cash Option C Amount”) plus (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Parent Common Stock equal to (i) such holder’s Consideration Value divided by $10.00, minus (ii) such holders Cash Option C Amount divided by $8.50.

For purposes of the above calculations, “Consideration Value” for a holder of Arko Ordinary Shares is an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Arko Ordinary Shares held by such holder immediately prior to the Second Effective Time multiplied by (b) the Company Per Share Value. The “Company Per Share Value” is an amount equal to the quotient of $717,273,400 divided by the total number of issued and outstanding or issuable Arko Ordinary Shares, in each case, as of the Second Effective Time. Up to $150,000,000 of cash consideration will be available to holders of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Key Arko Shareholders) if they all were to select Option C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to the obligations of the Voting Support Shareholders (as defined below) under the Voting Support Agreements (as defined below), in which certain holders of Arko Ordinary Shares have agreed to elect either Option A or Option B, under no circumstance shall the actual aggregate (x) cash consideration exceed $100,045,000 nor (y) shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued to Arko shareholders exceed 59,957,382 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $100,045,000) or 71,727,340 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $0). In addition, each holder of Arko Ordinary Shares will be entitled to receive a pro rata payment, in the form of a dividend or additional cash consideration, in respect of cash held by Arko in excess of Arko’s debt, each measured as of the closing of the Business Combination. For more information, see “The Business Combination Agreement—Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination.”

Parent Common Stock and New Parent Warrants are expected to trade under the symbols “ARKO” and “ARKOW,” respectively, following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Haymaker is holding a special meeting of its stockholders in order to obtain the stockholder approvals necessary to complete the Business Combination. At the Haymaker special meeting of stockholders, which will be held on , 2020, at a.m., Eastern time, virtually at https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020, unless postponed or adjourned to a later date, Haymaker will ask its stockholders to adopt the Business Combination Agreement, thereby approving the Business Combination, and approve the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Collectively, as of , 2020, these Arko shareholders held approximately % of the outstanding Arko Ordinary Shares.

After careful consideration, the respective Haymaker and Arko boards of directors have unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the board of directors of Haymaker has approved the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and each of the Haymaker and Arko boards of directors has determined that it is advisable to consummate the Business Combination. The board of directors of Haymaker recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON , 2020

To the Stockholders of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of stockholders (the “special meeting”) of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Haymaker,” “we,” “our” or “us”), will be held on , 2020, at a.m., Eastern time, virtually at https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020. You are cordially invited to virtually attend the special meeting for the following purposes:

The “Business Combination Proposal”—to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 8, 2020 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Haymaker”), ARKO Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with, unless the context otherwise requires, its consolidated subsidiaries for periods following the Business Combination (“New Parent”)), Punch US Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub I”), Punch Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Merger Sub II”), and ARKO Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Arko”), and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the First Merger), pursuant to which Merger Sub I will merge with and into Haymaker, with Haymaker surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “First Merger”), and then Merger Sub II will merge with and into Arko, with Arko surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “Second Merger,” and collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement and the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement (as defined below), the “Business Combination”);

The “Lock-Up Agreement Proposal”—to approve and ratify the entry into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement with Sponsor and the directors and officers of Haymaker (the “Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement”).

The “Stockholder Adjournment Proposal”—a proposal to authorize the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based on the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal or Public Stockholders have elected to redeem an amount of Haymaker Class A Common Stock such that the minimum available cash condition to the obligation to closing of the Business Combination would not be satisfied.

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on , 2020 are entitled to notice of the special meeting and to vote at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. A complete list of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at our principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we are providing our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account which holds the proceeds of our initial public offering as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $405.0 million on June 30, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately

$10.13. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal and any of the other proposals presented. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming his, her or its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Holders of our outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the Business Combination. All of the holders of our Class B common stock (“Founder Shares”) have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any public shares that they may have acquired during or after our initial public offering in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor owns approximately % of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, consisting of % of the Founder Shares.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the financial statements and annexes attached thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of our proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, at (800) 662-5200; banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400.

In light of the ongoing health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and to best protect the health and welfare of Haymaker’s stockholders and personnel, the special meeting will be held in virtual meeting format only. Stockholders are nevertheless urged to vote their proxies by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

, 2020

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Steven J. Heyer

Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the special meeting of stockholders, including with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The following questions and answers may not include all the information that is important to Haymaker stockholders. You are urged to read carefully this entire proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and annexes attached hereto and the other documents referred to herein.

Questions and Answers About the Special Meeting of Haymaker’s Stockholders and the Related Proposals

Q.	Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

Haymaker stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon the Business Combination Proposal to approve the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, among other proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the special meeting. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes carefully and in their entirety.

Haymaker has entered into the Business Combination Agreement with New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Arko, pursuant to which Merger Sub I will merge with and into Haymaker, with Haymaker surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “First Merger”), and then Merger Sub II will merge with and into Arko, with Arko surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “Second Merger,” and collectively with the other transactions described in the Business Combination Agreement and the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, the “Business Combination”). A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. Arko, as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Parent, will continue to maintain a registered office in the State of Israel. The First Merger shall become effective upon the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required, by the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the “DGCL”) (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “First Effective Time”). The Second Merger shall become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger for the Second Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the Companies Law 5759-1999 of the State of Israel (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “ICL”) (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “Second Effective Time”).

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, New Parent, Haymaker, and the GPM Minority Investors entered into the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, at Closing, New Parent shall purchase, directly or indirectly, from the GPM Minority Investors their equity interests in GPM in exchange for shares of common stock of New Parent, par value $0.0001 (“New Parent Common Stock”). As a result of the Business Combination, New Parent will indirectly own 100% of GPM, which operates Arko’s current business.

At the First Effective Time, each Haymaker Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will, pursuant to the terms of Haymaker Warrant Agreement, cease to represent the right to acquire one (1) share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and shall be converted in accordance with the terms of such Haymaker Warrant Agreement, at the First Effective Time, into a right to acquire one (1) share of New Parent Common Stock (each, a “New Parent Warrant” and collectively, the “New Parent Warrants”) on substantially the same terms that were in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time under the terms of the Haymaker Warrant Agreement.

Event 1 (as defined below) or Trigger Event 2 (as defined below), New Parent will issue to the Sponsor (i) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 1, and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 2 (such shares, the “Deferred Shares”). “Trigger Event 1” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP (as defined below) of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 5-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Trigger Event 2” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 7-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Required VWAP” means either (A) the 5-day volume weighed average price, if the average daily trading volume during such 5-day period equals or exceeds the average daily trading volume for the 180-day period following the Closing or (B) the 20-day volume weighted average price.

Option A (Stock Consideration): The number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) such holder’s Consideration Value divided by (ii) $10.00.

For purposes of the above calculations, “Consideration Value” for a holder of Arko Ordinary Shares is an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Arko Ordinary Shares held by such holder immediately prior to the Second Effective Time multiplied by (b) the Company Per Share Value. The “Company Per Share Value” is an amount equal to the quotient of $717,273,400 divided by the total number of issued and outstanding or issuable Arko Ordinary Shares, in each case, as of the Second Effective Time. Up to $150,000,000 of cash consideration will be available to holders of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Key Arko Shareholders) if they all were to select Option C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to the obligations of the Voting Support Shareholders under the Voting Support Agreements, in which certain holders of Arko Ordinary Shares have agreed to elect either Option A or Option B, under no circumstance shall the actual aggregate (x) cash consideration exceed $100,045,000 nor (y) shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued to Arko shareholders exceed 59,957,382 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $100,045,000) or 71,727,340 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $0). For more information, see “The Business Combination Agreement—Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination, “Summary of the proxy statement/prospectus—Ownership of ARKO Corp. After the Closing” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Arko will be required to pay a termination fee (the “Company Termination Fee”) in the amount of approximately $21.52 million. In the event of any payment of the Company Termination Fee to Haymaker, Haymaker will allocate any such amounts as follows (and with the following priority): (i) to pay the expenses of Haymaker incurred in connection with the Proposed Transaction; (ii) to purchase from the Sponsor the Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor purchased in connection with the IPO; (iii) to reimburse Haymaker for its expenses in connection with the Proposed Transaction or any other potential business combinations; (iv) to pay $25,000 to the Sponsor; and (v) to pay any taxes applicable to Haymaker. Haymaker will cause the amount of the applicable Company Termination Fee remaining after such payments to be paid to the Public Stockholders at the time of the Haymaker’s liquidation on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by such Public Stockholders.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Haymaker securities will be delisted from Nasdaq. New Parent Common Stock and New Parent Warrants are expected to trade under the symbols “ARKO” and “ARKOW,” respectively, following the consummation of the Business Combination.

This proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the proposals to be acted upon at the special meeting. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus and its annexes carefully and in their entirety. This document also constitutes a prospectus of New Parent with respect to the New Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination.

Q.	What matters will stockholders consider at the special meeting?

A.	At the Haymaker special meeting of stockholders, Haymaker will ask its stockholders to vote in favor of the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

•

The Business Combination Proposal—a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

•

The Lock-Up Agreement Proposal—a proposal to ratify the entry into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement with Sponsor and the directors and officers of Haymaker.

•

The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal—a proposal to authorize the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based on the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal or Public Stockholders have elected to redeem an amount of Haymaker Class A Common Stock such that the minimum available cash condition to the closing of the Business Combination would not be satisfied.

Q.	Are any of the proposals conditioned on one another?

The Lock-Up Agreement Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. The Stockholder Adjournment Proposal does not require the approval of the Business Combination Proposal to be effective. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, Haymaker will not consummate the Business Combination. If Haymaker does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, or obtain the approval of Haymaker stockholders to extend the deadline for Haymaker to consummate an initial business combination, Haymaker will be required to dissolve and liquidate.

Q.	Why is Haymaker proposing the Business Combination Proposal?

A.	Haymaker was organized for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Haymaker is not limited to any particular industry or sector.

Haymaker received $400,000,000 from its IPO (including net proceeds from the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option) and sale of the Private Placement Warrants which was placed into the Trust Account immediately following the IPO. In accordance with Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released upon the consummation of the Business Combination. See the question entitled “What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?”

There currently are 50,000,000 shares of Haymaker common stock issued and outstanding, consisting of 40,000,000 shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 Founder Shares. In addition, there currently are 19,333,333 Haymaker Warrants issued and outstanding, consisting of 13,333,333 Public Warrants and 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Following the First Effective Time, (i) the Sponsor will automatically forfeit 1,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock and 2,000,000 New Parent Warrants, and such shares and warrants will be cancelled and no longer outstanding and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the Sponsor will be deferred (as further described below). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, no more than five business days following the occurrence of Trigger Event 1 (as defined below) or Trigger Event 2 (as defined below), New Parent will issue to the Sponsor (i) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 1, and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 2 (such shares, the “Deferred Shares”). “Trigger Event 1” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP (as defined below) of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 5-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Trigger Event 2” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 7-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Required VWAP” means either (A) the 5-day volume weighed average price, if the average daily trading volume during such 5-day period equals or exceeds the average daily trading volume for the 180-day period following the Closing or (B) the 20-day volume weighted average price.

Each whole Haymaker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Haymaker Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a business combination, and expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of a business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Private Placement Warrants, however, are not redeemable so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

Under Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, Haymaker must provide all holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock with the opportunity to have their Haymaker Class A Common Stock redeemed upon the consummation of Haymaker’s initial business combination in conjunction with a stockholder vote.

Q.	Who is Arko?

A.	Arko is a public company incorporated in Israel, whose shares and Bonds (Series C) are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. Arko’s main activity is its holding, through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries, of controlling rights in GPM. See “Information About Arko.”

Q.	What equity stake will current Haymaker stockholders, Arko shareholders and GPM Minority Investors have in New Parent after the Closing?

Assuming that (i) no Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) Arko, Haymaker and New Parent do not issue any additional equity securities prior to Closing, upon the completion of the Business Combination the ownership of New Parent will be as follows:


	No Redemptions of Haymaker Class A Common Stock
	Assuming each of Arie Kotler and Morris Willner elects Option A and all Arko Public Shareholders elect Option A					Assuming each of Arie Kotler and Morris Willner elects Option B and all Arko Public Shareholders elect Option C
	Number of Shares of New Parent Common Stock		Percentage of total Shares outstanding			Number of Shares of New Parent Common Stock		Percentage of total Shares outstanding
Arie Kotler		23,785,336		15.8	%		20,987,061		15.1	%
Morris Willner		21,992,655		14.6	%		19,405,284		14.0	%
Arko Public Shareholders		25,949,349		17.2	%		19,565,037		14.1	%
GPM Minority Investors		33,772,660		22.5	%		33,772,660		24.4	%
Public Stockholders		40,000,000		26.6	%		40,000,000		28.8	%
Holders of Founder Shares		5,000,000		3.3	%		5,000,000		3.6	%

Assuming that (i) Public Stockholders elect to redeem 12.9 million shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) Arko, Haymaker and New Parent do not issue any additional equity securities prior to Closing, upon the completion of the Business Combination the ownership of New Parent will be as follows:


	Redemptions of 12.9 million Shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock
	Assuming each of Arie Kotler and Morris Willner elects Option A and all Arko Public Shareholders elect Option A					Assuming each of Arie Kotler and Morris Willner elects Option B and all Arko Public Shareholders elect Option C
	Number of Shares of New Parent Common Stock		Percentage of total Shares outstanding			Number of Shares of New Parent Common Stock		Percentage of total Shares outstanding
Arie Kotler		23,785,336		17.3	%		20,987,061		16.7	%
Morris Willner		21,992,655		16.0	%		19,405,284		15.4	%
Arko Public Shareholders		25,949,349		18.9	%		19,565,037		15.5	%
GPM Minority Investors		33,772,660		24.5	%		33,772,660		26.9	%
Public Stockholders		27,114,799		19.7	%		27,114,799		21.5	%
Holders of Founder Shares		5,000,000		3.6	%		5,000,000		4.0	%

The numbers presented in the tables above do not reflect Arko Ordinary Shares or Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by the GPM Minority Investors prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

If the actual facts differ from our assumptions, the numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above will be different. In addition, the number of shares and percentage interests set forth above do not take into account (i) potential future exercises of New Parent Warrants or Ares warrants or (ii) 4,000,000 deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock, in the aggregate, that are issuable to the Sponsor upon the occurrence of certain events under the Business Combination Agreement.

Q.	Who will be the officers and directors of New Parent if the Business Combination is consummated?

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, the board of directors of New Parent (the “New Parent Board”) will be comprised of Arie Kotler, Steven J. Heyer, Andrew Heyer, , , , and . Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, we expect that the following will be the officers of New Parent: Arie Kotler, Donald Bassell, and Maury Bricks. See “Management After the Business Combination.”

Q.	What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

There are a number of closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement, including that Haymaker’s stockholders have approved and adopted the Business Combination Agreement. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing.”

Q.	What happens if I sell my shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock before the special meeting of stockholders?

The record date for the special meeting of stockholders will be earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock after the record date, but before the special meeting of stockholders, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting of stockholders. However, you will not be entitled to receive any shares of New Parent Common Stock following the Closing because only Haymaker’s stockholders on the date of the Closing will be entitled to receive shares of New Parent Common Stock in connection with the Closing.

Q.	What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the special meeting of stockholders?

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of all then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting. Accordingly, a Haymaker stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the special meeting of stockholders, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against these Proposals.

The approval of the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal and Stockholder Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote (in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock that are voted at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a Haymaker stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the special meeting of stockholders, an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on these Proposals.

Q.	Do Arko’s shareholders need to approve the Business Combination?

Yes. Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Arie Kotler, KMG Realty LLC, Yahli Group Ltd., Vilna Holding and Morris Willner (collectively, the “Key Arko Shareholders”) entered into the Voting Support Agreements, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Key Arko Shareholders agreed to vote all Arko Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such shareholders at the time of the Arko shareholder vote on the Business Combination in favor of adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination, and any other matter necessary to consummate such transactions, and not to (a) transfer any of their Arko Ordinary Shares (or enter into any arrangement with respect thereto) prior to the earliest of (x) the Closing Date, (y) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, or (z) a mutual agreement of Haymaker and the shareholders party to the respective Voting Agreement, or (b) enter into any voting arrangement that is inconsistent with the Voting Support Agreements. Collectively, as of September 9, 2020, the Key Arko Shareholders held approximately 64% of the outstanding Arko Ordinary Shares. Under the ICL, the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Arko Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy or voting deed and voting on the resolution, excluding abstentions, provided that either: (i) such majority includes a majority of the Arko Ordinary

Shares voted by shareholders who are not “controlling shareholders” and who do not have a “personal interest” (as such terms are defined in the ICL) in the resolution; or (ii) the total number of Arko Ordinary Shares of shareholders who are not “controlling shareholders” and who do not have a “personal interest” in the resolution that are voted against the resolution does not exceed 2% of the outstanding voting shares of Arko.

For further information, please see the section entitled “Certain Agreements Related to The Business Combination—Voting Support Agreements.”

Q.	May Haymaker or Haymaker’s directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor and Haymaker’s board of directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account either prior to or following the Closing. There is no limit on the number of shares the Sponsor or Haymaker’s board of directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase in such transactions, subject to compliance with applicable law and the rules of Nasdaq. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M of the Exchange Act. It is not currently anticipated that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Such purchases may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of such shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The purpose of these purchases would be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination, satisfy a closing condition of the Business Combination Agreement that requires Haymaker to have a minimum net worth or a minimum amount of cash at closing of the Business Combination, where it appears such requirement would not otherwise be met, or to increase the amount of cash available to Haymaker for use in the Business Combination.

Q.	How many votes do I have at the special meeting of stockholders?

A.	Haymaker’s stockholders are entitled to one vote at the special meeting for each share of Haymaker common stock held of record as of the record date. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 50,000,000 outstanding shares of Haymaker common stock.

Q.	What interests do Haymaker’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A.	Haymaker’s board of directors and executive officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, in addition to, or in conflict with, yours. These interests include:

•

the beneficial ownership of the Sponsor and certain of Haymaker’s directors and officers (the “Haymaker Initial Stockholders”) of an aggregate of 10,000,000 Founder Shares and 5,550,000 Private

Placement Warrants, which shares and warrants would become worthless if Haymaker does not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, as the Haymaker Initial Stockholders have waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. Such shares and warrants have an aggregate market value of approximately $ million and $ million, respectively, based on the closing price of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Haymaker Warrants of $ and $ , respectively, on Nasdaq on , 2020, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders;

•

the fact that the Sponsor and Haymaker’s officers and directors have agreed not to redeem any Haymaker Common Shares held by them in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

•

the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would be valued at $50,000,000 (excluding any deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock and assuming a value of $10.00 per share) after giving effect to the forfeitures contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, but, given the restrictions on such shares, Haymaker believes such shares have less value;

•

the fact that the Sponsor and Haymaker’s officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if Haymaker fails to complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021;

•

the fact that the Sponsor will forfeit a portion of its Haymaker Private Placement Warrants and will receive deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock;

•

the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $8,325,000 for its 5,550,000 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by June 11, 2021;

•

the right of the Sponsor to hold New Parent Common Stock and the New Parent Common Stock to be issued to the Sponsor upon exercise of its New Parent Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

•

the anticipated service of Steven J. Heyer (Haymaker’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman) and Andrew R. Heyer (Haymaker’s President and a member of Haymaker’s board of directors) as directors of New Parent following the Business Combination;

•

the continued indemnification of Haymaker’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of Haymaker’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;

•

the fact that the Sponsor and Haymaker’s officers and directors may not participate in the formation of, or become directors or officers of, any other blank check company until Haymaker (i) has entered into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination or (ii) fails to complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021;

•

the fact that the Sponsor and Haymaker’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in Haymaker and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses, to the extent such expenses exceed the amount not required to be retained in the Trust Account, if an initial business combination is not consummated by June 11, 2021; and

•

the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Haymaker is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Haymaker to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which Haymaker has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third-party for services rendered or products sold to Haymaker, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

These interests may influence Haymaker’s board of directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. You should also read the section entitled “The Business Combination—Interests of Haymaker’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

Q.	Did Haymaker’s board of directors obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

Haymaker’s board of directors did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. Haymaker’s board of directors believes that based upon the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders. Haymaker’s board of directors also determined, without seeking a valuation from a financial advisor, that Arko’s fair market value was at least 80% of Haymaker’s net assets, excluding any taxes payable on interest earned. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the judgment of Haymaker’s board of directors as described above in valuing Arko’s business and assuming the risk that Haymaker’s board of directors may not have properly valued such business.

Q.	What happens if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved?

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and Haymaker does not consummate a business combination by June 11, 2021, or amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which Haymaker must consummate an initial business combination, Haymaker will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account.

Q.	Do I have redemption rights?

If you are a holder of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, you may redeem your shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of the IPO, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Haymaker to pay its franchise and income taxes and for working capital purposes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The per share amount Haymaker will distribute to holders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions Haymaker will pay to the underwriters of its IPO if the Business Combination is consummated. Holders of the outstanding Public Warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the Business Combination. The Sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any Haymaker Class A Common Stock that they may have acquired during or after the IPO in connection with the completion of Haymaker’s initial business combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $405.0 million on June 30, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.13. Haymaker Class A Common Stock properly tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the Business Combination is consummated; otherwise, holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable by Haymaker and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account.

Q.	Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock. Accordingly, all shares in excess of 15% of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock owned by a holder will not be redeemed. On the other hand, a Public Stockholder who (together with any affiliates and other group members) holds

less than 15% of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock may redeem all of its Haymaker Class A Common Stock for cash.

Q.	Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your Haymaker Class A Common Stock for or against the Business Combination Proposal or do not vote your shares. As a result, the Business Combination Proposal can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their Haymaker Class A Common Stock and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their Haymaker Class A Common Stock holding shares in a company with a less liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q.	How do I exercise my redemption rights?

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on , 2020 (two business days before the special meeting), (i) submit a written request to Haymaker’s transfer agent that Haymaker redeem your Haymaker Class A Common Stock for cash, and (ii) deliver your stock to Haymaker’s transfer agent physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Haymaker’s transfer agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below. Haymaker requests that any requests for redemption include the identity of the beneficial owner making such request. Electronic delivery of your stock generally will be faster than delivery of physical stock certificates.

A physical stock certificate will not be needed if your stock is delivered to Haymaker’s transfer agent electronically. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and Haymaker’s transfer agent will need to act to facilitate the request. It is Haymaker’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least one week to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because Haymaker does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than one week to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with Haymaker’s consent (which may be withheld in Haymaker’s sole discretion), until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to Haymaker’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that Haymaker’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting Haymaker’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?”

Q.	What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

Haymaker stockholders who exercise their redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for their Haymaker Class A Common Stock generally will be required to treat the transaction as a sale of such shares and recognize gain or loss upon the redemption in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock redeemed. Such gain or loss should be treated as capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the redemption. A stockholder’s tax basis in his, her or its shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock generally will equal the cost of such shares. A stockholder who purchased Haymaker Units will have to allocate the cost between the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Haymaker Warrants comprising the Haymaker Units based on their relative fair market values at the time of the purchase. See the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption and the Business Combination.”

Q.	What are the Israeli tax consequences of the Business Combination on holders of Arko Ordinary Shares?

Generally, the exchange of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Arko Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to restricted shares units (“RSUs” and the “Arko RSU Shares,” respectively) which are entitled to the benefiting tax regime under Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance [New Version], 1961 (the “Ordinance”) for the consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement would be treated as a taxable event both for Israeli and non-Israeli resident shareholders. However, certain relief and/or exemptions may be available under Israeli law.

Arko is filing applications for tax rulings from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) with respect to (i) withholding tax in Israel regarding the consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement to Arko shareholders and a deferral of capital gains tax with respect to Arko shareholders who are not classified as a “controlling shareholder” (as such term defined in Section 103 of the Ordinance); and (ii) the Israeli tax treatment applicable to Arko RSU Shares issued under the benefiting tax regime of Section 102 of the Ordinance. There can be no assurance that such tax rulings will be granted before the Closing or at all or that, if obtained, such tax rulings will be granted under the conditions requested by Arko.

See the section entitled “Certain Israeli Tax Consequences of the Business Combination.”

Q.	If I hold Haymaker Warrants, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A.	No. There are no redemption rights with respect to the Haymaker Warrants.

Q.	Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A.	No. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Q.	What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

If the Business Combination is consummated, the funds held in the Trust Account will be released to pay (i) Haymaker stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights, (ii) expenses incurred by Arko and Haymaker in connection with the Proposed Transactions and (iii) cash consideration to Arko shareholders as part of the Business Combination. Any additional funds available for release from the Trust Account will be used for general corporate purposes of New Parent following the Business Combination.

Q.	What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A.	There are certain circumstances under which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated. See the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement—Termination” for information regarding the parties’ specific termination rights.

If, as a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise, Haymaker is unable to complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, or obtain the approval of Haymaker stockholders to extend the deadline for Haymaker to consummate an initial business combination, Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Haymaker will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Haymaker Class A Common Stock, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to Haymaker to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely

extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and Haymaker’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. See the sections entitled “Risk Factors—Haymaker May Not Be Able to Complete its Initial Business Combination by June 11, 2021, in Which Case Haymaker Would Cease All Operations Except for the Purpose of Winding Up and Haymaker Would Redeem Its Public Shares and Liquidate, in Which Case Haymaker’s Public Stockholders May Only Receive $10.00 Per share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, or Less Than Such Amount in Certain Circumstances, and Haymaker’s Existing Warrants Will Expire Worthless” and “—Haymaker’s Stockholders May Be Held Liable for Claims by Third Parties Against Haymaker to the Extent of Distributions Received by Them Upon Redemption of their Shares.” Holders of Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to outstanding Haymaker Warrants. Accordingly, the Haymaker Warrants will expire worthless.

Q.	When is the Business Combination expected to be completed?

A.	It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated during the fourth quarter of 2020, provided that all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q.	What do I need to do now?

You are urged to carefully read and consider the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the financial statements and annexes attached hereto, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q.	How can I vote my shares at the Virtual Special Meeting?

In light of the ongoing health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and to best protect the health and welfare of Haymaker’s stockholders and personnel, the special meeting will be held in virtual meeting format only. If you were a holder of record of Haymaker common stock on , 2020, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders, you may vote electronically at the special meeting of stockholders. If you choose to attend the special meeting of stockholders, you will need to visit https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020, and enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. You may vote during the special meeting of stockholders by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Haymaker Class A Common Stock but not the stockholder of record of such Haymaker Class A Common Stock, you will also need to obtain a legal proxy for the meeting provided by your bank, broker, or nominee. Please note that if your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the special meeting of stockholders, you will not be permitted to vote electronically at the special meeting of stockholders unless you first obtain a legal proxy issued in your name from the record owner. To request a legal proxy, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record. It is suggested you do so in a timely manner to ensure receipt of your legal proxy prior to the special meeting of stockholders.

Q.	What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the special meeting?

At the special meeting of stockholders, Haymaker will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For purposes of approval, an abstention or failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Business Combination Proposal and will have no effect on any of the other proposals.

Q.	What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A.	Signed and dated proxies received by Haymaker without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each proposal presented to the stockholders.

Q.	How can I vote my shares without attending the special meeting of stockholders?

If you are a stockholder of record of Haymaker common stock as of the close of business on , 2020, the record date, you can vote by mail by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card. Please note that if you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, or otherwise follow the instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. Your vote is important. Haymaker encourages you to vote as soon as possible after carefully reading this proxy statement/prospectus.

Q.	If I am not going to attend the virtual special meeting of stockholders in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A.	Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please submit your proxy, by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q.	If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

No. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not give the broker voting instructions, under the applicable stock exchange rules, your broker may not vote your shares on any of the Proposals. If you do not give your broker voting instructions and the broker does not vote your shares, this is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the special meeting of stockholders. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. However, in no event will a broker non-vote have the effect of exercising your redemption rights for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Q.	May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.	Yes. If you are a stockholder of record of Haymaker common stock as of the close of business on the record date, whether you vote by mail, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting in one of the following ways:

•

submit a new proxy card bearing a later date;

•

give written notice of your revocation to Haymaker’s secretary, provided such revocation is received prior to the vote at the special meeting; or

•

vote electronically at the special meeting of stockholders by visiting https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020 and entering the control number found on

your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Please note that your attendance at the special meeting of stockholders will not alone serve to revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee as of the close of business on the record date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.

Q.	What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q.	What is the quorum requirement for the special meeting of stockholders?

A quorum will be present at the special meeting of stockholders if a majority of the Haymaker common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting is represented in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of Haymaker’s stockholders, present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy, and voting thereon will have the power to adjourn the special meeting.

As of the record date for the special meeting, 25,000,001 shares of Haymaker common stock would be required to achieve a quorum. As of the record date, there were 50,000,000 shares of Haymaker common stock outstanding, 10,000,000 of which are Founder Shares held by the Sponsor.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or your broker, bank or other nominee submits one on your behalf) or if you vote in person (which includes presence at the virtual meeting) at the special meeting of stockholders. Abstentions will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares represented by stockholders present at the special meeting or by proxy may authorize adjournment of the special meeting to another date.

Q.	What happens to the Haymaker Warrants I hold if I vote my shares of Haymaker common stock against approval of the Business Combination Proposal and validly exercise my redemption rights?

Your Haymaker Warrants will not be affected by either an exercise of your redemption rights with respect to shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock that you currently own or by your vote, either for or against approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not completed, you will continue to hold your Haymaker Warrants, and if Haymaker does not otherwise consummate an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, or obtain the approval of Haymaker Stockholders to extend the deadline for Haymaker to consummate an initial business combination, Haymaker will be required to dissolve and liquidate, and your Haymaker Warrants will expire worthless.

Q.	Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

Company Overview

The Company

Upon completion of the Business Combination, New Parent will own, directly and indirectly, 100% of GPM. Based in Richmond, VA, GPM is a leading independent convenience store operator and the 7th largest in the United States by store count¹. As of June 30, 2020, GPM’s network consisted of 1,393 locations in 23 states including 1,266 company operated stores and 127 dealer-operated and GPM-supplied sites. GPM is well diversified across geographies in the Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, and Northeast regions of the U.S. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, GPM generated $3.8 billion of total revenue, including $1.5 billion of in-store sales and other revenues, and sold approximately 1.0 billion gallons of fuel. All of the figures and information presented in this section, as it relates to GPM, are presented as of June 30, 2020, unless otherwise indicated.

(3)	GPM store count as of 6/30/20, Empire store count as of 12/17/2019.

GPM operates within the large and growing U.S. convenience store industry. According to National Association of Convenience Stores, the U.S. convenience store industry has grown in-store sales from $182.4 billion in 2009 to $251.9 billion in 2019, which represents a CAGR of 3.3%. Pretax Income for the industry also grew from $4.8 billion in 2009 to $11.9 billion in 2019, representing a CAGR of 9.5%.

The U.S. convenience store industry remains highly fragmented, with the 10 largest convenience store retailers accounting for approximately 19% of total industry stores in 2019. A majority of stores are managed by small, local operators with 50 or fewer stores and account for approximately 72% of all convenience stores. In addition, the U.S. convenience store industry has proven to be recession resilient as demonstrated by the designation of convenience stores as essential businesses during the statewide shutdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, as consumers grew wary of visiting comparatively high-touch grocery stores during the pandemic, convenience stores drew more “fill-in” visits for various food and other grocery items. GPM’s management believes that convenience retail is a dynamic industry that flexes and evolves with changing consumer preference and will continue to do so as a result of the pandemic.

Competitive Strengths

GPM’s management believes that the following competitive strengths differentiate GPM from its competitors and contribute to GPM’s continued success:

Leading industry consolidator with a proven track record of integrating acquisitions and generating exceptional returns on capital. GPM is one of the largest and most active consolidators in the highly-fragmented convenience store industry. Since the beginning of 2013, GPM has completed 17 acquisitions expanding its store count approximately 4.4x. As an experienced acquiror, GPM has demonstrated the ability to generate exceptional returns on capital and meaningfully improve target performance post-integration through operating expertise and economies of scale. GPM’s management believes that continued scale advantage has enabled GPM to become a formidable industry player, enhanced its competitiveness, and positioned it as an acquirer of choice within the industry. GPM’s management also believe that the pending acquisition of Empire will allow GPM to grow its wholesale channel by acquiring supply contracts from independent operators in addition to retail convenience store and wholesale fuel portfolios and will enhance our cash flow profile and diversification.

acquired a majority of its stores in smaller towns with less concentration of national-chain convenience stores. GPM’s management believes that GPM’s focus on secondary and tertiary markets allow GPM to preserve “local” brand name recognition and aligns local market needs with capital investment.

Entrenched Local Brands with Scale of Large Store Portfolio. GPM operates the stores under 16 regional brand names (a “Family of Community of Brands”). Upon closing of an acquisition, rather than rebranding a group of stores, GPM has typically left the existing store name in place leveraging customer familiarity and loyalty associated with the local brand. GPM believes it benefits greatly from the established brand equity in its portfolio of store banners acquired over time. GPM’s acquired brands have been in existence for an average of approximately 50 years and each brand, with its respective long-term community involvement, is highly recognizable to local customers. In addition, each individual store brand derives significant value from the scale, corporate infrastructure, and centralized marketing programs associated with GPM’s large store network. These benefits include:

•

Centralized merchandise purchasing and supply procurement programs;

•

Fuel price optimization and purchasing functions;

•

Common private label offerings;

•

Common loyalty program under the name fas REWARDS^®;

•

Centralized environmental management and environmental practices; and

•

Common IT and point-of-sale platforms.

Retail/Wholesale Business Model Generates Stable and Diversified Cash Flow. GPM’s management believes that GPM’s business model of operating both retail convenience stores and wholesale motor fuel distribution generates stable and diversified cash flows providing GPM with advantages over many of its competitors. Unlike many smaller convenience store operators, GPM is able to take advantage of the combined fuel purchasing volumes to obtain attractive pricing and terms while reducing the variability in fuel margins. GPM’s management believes that operating a wholesale business also provides strategic flexibility as GPM is able to convert certain lower performing company-operated sites to consignment agent and lessee-dealer trade channels. GPM’s management believes that the benefits associated with GPM’s retail/wholesale strategy will be significantly enhanced upon the closing of the Empire transaction.

Flexibility to Address Consumers Changing Needs. Despite GPM’s large size, GPM is an extremely nimble retail marketer with the ability to alter store offerings quickly in the face of changing consumers’ needs. GPM’s ability to pivot is facilitated by our streamlined and efficient internal decision making structure and process that allows for the rapid implementation of new initiatives. GPM’s flexibility is complemented by deep relationships with a host of manufacturers and suppliers worldwide. By way of example, upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, GPM was able to fully stock its stores with essential items such as hand sanitizers, wipes, face masks, etc. ahead of many of its competitors.

Real-time Fuel Pricing Analysis. GPM’s fuel pricing software enables real-time insight into street-level pricing conditions across the entire portfolio and estimates demand impacts from various pricing alternatives. This allows GPM to rapidly make pricing decisions that satisfy gallon and gross profit targets. Many of GPM’s competitors are smaller operators which lack this visibility into their fuel pricing strategies and as a result forego opportunities to optimize total fuel margin.

Robust Embedded EBITDA Opportunities. GPM’s primary growth strategy has historically been strategic acquisitions in contiguous and attractive markets. As a result of its significant scale and access to capital, GPM will also focus on a platform-wide store refresh program that GPM’s management believes can generate improved returns from acquired assets. Additional embedded growth levers include improving an existing loyalty program, expanding foodservice offerings in-line with recent consumer preferences, the introduction of gaming at select locations, and the expansion of private label.

Experienced Management with Significant Ownership. GPM’s management team, led by President and Chief Executive Officer Arie Kotler, has a strong track record of revenue growth and profitability improvement. Arie Kotler joined GPM in 2011, when GPM directly operated and supplied fuel to 320 stores and had revenues of approximately $1.2 billion. GPM has a deep and talented management team across all facets of GPM’s operations and have added leaders in key positions to enable continued growth in GPM’s business including the recent hire of Mike Bloom as EVP & Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer. GPM’s management team has an average tenure with GPM and in the convenience store industry of 15 years and 22 years, respectively. Upon completion of the transaction, Arie Kotler will be New Parent’s largest individual shareholder owning approximately 15% of shares of GPM’s common stock.

Strong Balance Sheet with Capacity to Execute Growth Strategy. Upon completion of the Business Combination, GPM will have significant cash on our balance sheet and capacity available under existing lines of credit. In addition, GPM finances inventory purchases from normal trade credit which is aided by relatively quick inventory turnover, enabling GPM to manage the business without large amounts of cash and working capital. As a result of these financial resources, GPM’s management believes that GPM will have ample financial flexibility to execute on its growth strategy.

Growth Strategy

GPM’s management believes that GPM has a significant opportunity to increase its sales and profitability by continuing to execute its operating strategy, growing its store base in existing and contiguous markets through acquisition, and enhancing the performance of current stores. With its achievement of significant size and scale, GPM believes that its refocused organic growth strategy, including implementing company-wide marketing and merchandising initiatives, will add significant value to the assets it has acquired. GPM believes that this complementary strategy will help further enhance its growth and results of operations. GPM expects to use a portion of the cash available to the Company as a result of this transaction to fund its growth strategy. Specific elements of GPM’s growth strategy include the following:

Pursue Acquisitions in Existing and Contiguous Markets. GPM has completed 17 acquisitions in the last seven years, adding 1,119 retail stores. GPM’s management believes this acquisition experience combined with GPM’s scalable infrastructure represents a strong platform for future growth through acquisitions within the highly fragmented convenience store industry. With 72% of the convenience store market comprised of chains with 50 or fewer locations, there is ample opportunity to continue to consolidate. GPM has traditionally acquired a majority of its stores in smaller towns with less concentration of national-chain convenience stores. GPM’s management believes that GPM’s focus on secondary and tertiary markets allow GPM to preserve “local” brand name recognition and aligns local market needs with capital investment. GPM has established a dedicated in-house M&A team that is fully focused on identifying, closing and integrating acquisitions. GPM has a highly actionable pipeline of potential targets and will focus on existing and contiguous markets where demographics and overall market characteristics are similar to its existing markets. In addition, GPM’s management believes that GPM’s unique retail/wholesale business model provides GPM with strategic flexibility to acquire chains with both retail and dealer locations. The pending acquisition of Empire’s business will add significant scale to GPM’s wholesale fuel channel in terms of fuel gallons sold and will materially increase GPM’s footprint to 10 new states and the District of Columbia. This will also enable GPM to grow through the acquisition of supply contracts with independent dealers.

store size and format, a store remodel would typically include improvements to overall layout and flow of the store, an expanded foodservice and grab-n-go offering, updated equipment, beer caves, restrooms, flooring and lighting to give the store a more common feel across the network and generate a more enticing experience for the consumer. GPM’s goal is to generate pre-tax returns on investment of at least 20% on store investments. While GPM will continue to prioritize acquisitions and its store remodel program, opportunistic new store builds will be considered to further accelerate growth.

Enhanced Marketing Initiatives. GPM will continue to pursue numerous in-store sales growth and margin enhancement opportunities that exist across GPM’s expansive footprint. These initiatives include, among others, the following:

•

expansion of its high margin private label and essential items offering in the stores;

•

launch of a revised customer relationship-focused loyalty program and associated promotional events;

•

enhanced store planogram and product mix optimization with data-driven placement of top-selling SKU’s across all categorizes with regional customization;

•

rollout of mobile ordering and curbside pickup at select stores; and

•

full realization of gaming machines installed in 60 stores in Virginia that were rolled out in July 2020.

Foodservice Opportunity. GPM’s current foodservice offering primarily consists of hot and fresh foods, deli, bakery, pizza, roller grill and other prepared foods. Rather than developing a proprietary foodservice program, GPM has historically relied upon franchised quick service restaurants to drive customer traffic. As a result, GPM’s management believes GPM’s under-penetration of proprietary foodservice presents an opportunity to expand foodservice offerings and margin in response to changing consumer behavior as a result of the ongoing pandemic. In addition, GPM’s management believes that continued investment in new technology platforms and applications to adapt to evolving consumer eating preferences including contactless checkout, order ahead service, and delivery will further drive growth in profitability.

Store Portfolio Optimization. Underperforming retail sites are continually reviewed for opportunities to improve store performance, switch to dealer channels, or sold outright. If investments into store offerings or appearances are not likely to return adequate returns on capital, retail sites can be converted to either lessee-dealer or consignment agent sites. After conversion, GPM receives rent from the tenant and enters into a long-term supply contract with the dealer, eliminating exposure to retail operations and store-level operating expenses. As another option, sites with higher and better alternative use potential exceeding the value to GPM of owning and operating the property as a retail or wholesale site are frequently sold.

The Business

GPM primarily operates in two business channels: retail and wholesale fuel. For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2020, GPM’s retail channel generated total revenue of $3.7 billion, including $1.5 billion of in-store sales and other revenues, and a total gross profit of $648.5 million. In addition, the GPM retail channel sold a total of 976.3 million gallons of branded and unbranded fuel to its retail customers. As a wholesale distributor of motor fuel, GPM distributes branded and unbranded motor fuel from refiners through third-party transportation providers to 127 dealer locations and a small number of bulk purchasers throughout our footprint. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, the wholesale fuel channel sold 58.1 million gallons of fuel, generating revenues and gross profit of $135.9 million and $9.0 million, respectively. In January 2016, GPM Petroleum LP (“GPMP”) began engaging in the wholesale distribution of motor fuels on a fixed fee per gallon basis to GPM-controlled convenience stores and third parties. GPM purchases all of its fuel from GPMP. GPM owns 100% of the general partner of GPMP and 80.7% of the GPMP limited partner units. For the twelve- month period ended June 30, 2020, 99.7% of gallons distributed by GPMP were to GPM.

Retail Business

As of June 30, 2020, GPM operated 1,266 retail convenience stores. The stores offer a wide array of cold and hot foodservice, beverages, cigarettes and other tobacco products, grocery, beer and general merchandise. A limited number of stores do not sell fuel. GPM operates the stores under 16 regional store brands including 1-Stop, Admiral, Apple Market^®, BreadBox, E-Z Mart^®, fas mart^®, Jiffi Stop^®, Li’l Cricket, Next Door Store^®, Roadrunner Markets, Rstore, Scotchman^®, shore stop^®, Town Star, Village Pantry^® and Young’s.

In October 2017, GPM entered into an agreement to develop 10 Dunkin’ restaurants in the Tri-Cities Area (Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky) by May 2023. The first site was built and opened in November 2018. One additional site was opened in May 2019. Three additional sites have received approval from Dunkin’ and are planned to be opened in 2020 and 2021.

Note: Store count as of 6/30/20; excludes nine Dunkin’ locations, two standalone Subway locations, as well as 36 additional stores carrying banners with less than ten locations.

GPM offers foodservice at 309 company-operated stores. The foodservice category includes hot and fresh foods, deli, bakery, pizza, roller grill and other prepared foods. In addition, GPM has 73 branded quick service restaurants consisting of major national brands, including Blimpies, Dunkin’, Dairy Queen, Krystal, Subway, Taco Bell, Noble Romans and 2 full service restaurants. GPM’s foodservice includes the following:

GPM provides a number of traditional convenience store services that generate additional income including lottery, prepaid products, money orders, ATMs, gaming, and other ancillary product and service offerings. GPM also generates car wash revenue at approximately 80 of our locations.

GPM leverages relationships with major distributors such as Core-Mark and Grocery Supply Company as well as over 700 direct store delivery suppliers.

GPM purchases motor fuel primarily from large, integrated oil companies and independent refiners under supply agreements. In addition, GPM purchases unbranded fuel from branded fuel suppliers to supply 155 unbranded fueling locations. Approximately 89% of GPM’s retail locations sell branded fuel. GPM’s branded fuel is primarily sold under the Valero^®, Marathon^®, BP^® and Shell^® brand names. GPM is the largest distributor of Valero branded motor fuel on the East Coast and the third largest distributor of Valero branded motor fuel in the United States. In addition to driving customer traffic, GPM’s management believes GPM’s branded fuel strategy enables it to maintain a secure fuel supply.

Wholesale Fuel Business

GPM’s wholesale fuel channel includes supply of fuel products to independent fueling station operators on a consignment basis as well as final sales of fuel to independent operators and bulk purchasers on a fixed-margin basis. Under consignment transactions (43 such arrangements as of June 30, 2020), GPM continues to own the fuel until final sale to customers at independently-operated gas stations and set the retail price at which it is sold. Gross profit created from the sale is divided between GPM and the operator (or “consignment agent”) according to the terms of the consignment agreements. In certain cases, gross profit is split by a percentage and in others, a fixed fee per gallon is paid to the operator. Alternatively, GPM makes final sales to independent operators (referred to as “lessee-dealers” if the operators lease the station from us or “open-dealers” if they control the site) and bulk purchasers on a fixed-fee basis. Typically, fuel margin reflects GPM’s all-in fuel costs (after transportation costs, prompt pay discount and rebates) under these arrangements, largely eliminating our exposure to commodity price movements. Additionally, GPM leases space to and collect rent from consignment agents and lessee-dealers at sites under our control. The pending acquisition of Empire’s business will add significant scale to GPM’s wholesale fuel channel in terms of fuel gallons sold and will materially increase GPM’s footprint to 10 new states and the District of Columbia.

Pending Empire Acquisition

In December 2019, GPM entered into an agreement to purchase Empire Petroleum Partners’ fuel distribution business in the United States for $360 million. The FTC has provided its consent to the transaction, subject to agreed-upon divestitures of certain sites. The transaction is expected to close in early October 2020. GPM has secured funding for the transaction. The closing of the Business Combination is conditioned on the closing of GPM’s acquisition of Empire’s business.

both fixed margin and consignment bases under long-term contracts. It maintains relationships with all major oil companies, which enables Empire to offer customers a broad portfolio of fuel brands and security of supply. Since 2011, Empire completed 23 acquisitions to grow its distribution base rapidly, complementing its organic growth which includes single-site additions of new supply contracts.

Consideration in the Business Combination

Effect of the Business Combination on Existing Haymaker Equity

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (including certain adjustments described under “Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination—Forfeiture and Deferral of New Parent Equity Held by the Sponsor” pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement), the Business Combination will result in, among other things, each share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time being automatically converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of New Parent Common Stock.

Forfeiture and Deferral of New Parent Equity Held by the Sponsor

Following the First Effective Time, (i) the Sponsor will automatically forfeit 1,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock and 2,000,000 New Parent Warrants, and such shares and warrants will be cancelled and no longer outstanding and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the Sponsor will be deferred (as further described below). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, no more than five business days following the occurrence of Trigger Event 1 (as defined below) or Trigger Event 2 (as defined below), New Parent will issue to the Sponsor (i) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 1, and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock in the case of Trigger Event 2 (such shares, the “Deferred Shares”). “Trigger Event 1” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP (as defined below) of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $13.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 5-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Trigger Event 2” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 7-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Required VWAP” means either (A) the 5-day volume weighed average price, if the average daily trading volume during such 5-day period equals or exceeds the average daily trading volume for the 180-day period following the Closing or (B) the 20-day volume weighted average price.

Conversion of Arko Ordinary Shares

The “Company Per Share Value” is an amount equal to the quotient of $717,273,400 divided by the total number of issued and outstanding or issuable Arko Ordinary Shares, in each case, as of the Second Effective Time. Up to $150,000,000 of cash consideration will be available to holders of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Key Arko Shareholders) if they all were to select Option C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to the obligations of the Voting Support Shareholders under the Voting Support Agreements, in which certain holders of Arko Ordinary Shares have agreed to elect either Option A or Option B, under no circumstance shall the actual aggregate (x) cash consideration exceed $100,045,000 nor (y) shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued to Arko shareholders exceed 59,957,382 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $100,045,000) or 71,727,340 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $0). In addition, each holder of Arko Ordinary Shares will be entitled to receive a pro rata payment, in the form of a dividend or additional cash consideration, in respect of cash held by Arko in excess of Arko’s debt, each measured as of the closing of the Business Combination.

The Ares Right may be exercised by delivering written notice to New Parent within the Election Period. Upon receipt of such notice, New Parent will have the option to either purchase the Ares Shares for cash, or in lieu of such purchase, New Parent may issue additional shares of New Parent Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) to Ares (with the value based on the New Parent VWAP) in an amount sufficient so that the value of the Ares Shares and the Additional Shares, and any dividends, distributions, or other payments received in respect of the Ares Shares or Ares’ membership interest in GPM collectively equal $27,294,053, or to the extent that Ares has transferred a portion, but not all of the Ares Shares, the applicable pro rata amount thereof, based on the New Parent VWAP. The Put Price shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar adjustment in respect of the New Parent Common Stock during the Holding Period. The Ares Right will automatically expire upon the earliest of (a) if during the period between the Closing Date and the Trigger Date (the “Holding Period”), the shares of New Parent Common Stock trade at a sale price of at least 105% of the Put Price on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (such 30 day period, the “Sale Window”); provided that (a) during such 20 trading days the average number of shares of New Parent Common Stock traded per trading day is at least 1.25 million and (b) the Ares Shares are freely tradeable during the entirety of the Sale Window, (ii) if Ares sells or otherwise transfers any of the Ares Shares during the Holding Period to a party that is not an affiliate or a fund, investment vehicle or other entity that is controlled managed or advised by Ares or any of its affiliates, or (c) Ares does not provide the notice of exercise of the Ares Right within the Election Period.

The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides that the Holders be subject to certain restrictions on transfer of New Parent Common Stock for 180 days following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will replace the letter agreement, dated June 6, 2019, pursuant to which the initial stockholder of Haymaker and its directors and officers had agreed to, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of Haymaker Class A Common Stock (and any securities into

which such Haymaker Class A Common Stock is convertible into) for one year following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

Voting Support Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Haymaker entered into the Voting Support Agreements (each, a “Voting Support Agreement” and collectively, the “Voting Support Agreements”), one with Morris Willner and his affiliates WRDC Enterprises and Vilna Holdings, and one with Arie Kotler and his affiliates KMG Realty LLC and Yahli Group Ltd. (together with Morris Willner and Vilna Holdings, the “Voting Support Shareholders”).

Warrant Amendment

At the First Effective Time, Haymaker, New Parent, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will enter into the warrant assignment, assumption and amendment agreement. Such agreement will amend the Haymaker Warrant Agreement, as Haymaker will assign all its rights, title and interest in the Haymaker Warrant Agreement to New Parent. Pursuant to the amendment, all Haymaker Warrants will no longer be exercisable for shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, but instead will be exercisable for shares of New Parent Common Stock on substantially the same terms that were in effect prior to the First Effective Time under the terms of the Haymaker Warrant Agreement.

Sponsor Support Agreement

addition, the Sponsor, Andrew R. Heyer and Steven J. Heyer (each, a “Specified Holder”) have agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of New Parent Common Stock owned beneficially or of record, whether directly or indirectly, by such Specified Holder or any of its affiliates, or over which such Specified Holder or any of its affiliates maintains or has voting control, directly or indirectly, in favor of Arie Kotler if he is a nominee for election to the board of directors of New Parent from the Closing for a period of up to seven years following of the Closing, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

Voting Letter Agreement

In connection with the Proposed Transactions, Arie Kotler, Morris Willner, WRDC Enterprises and Vilna Holdings entered into a letter agreement (the “Voting Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Letter Agreement, until the seventh anniversary of the Closing, each of Morris Willner and Vilna Holdings (each, a “Willner Party”) shall vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of New Parent Common Stock owned beneficially or of record, whether directly or indirectly, by such Willner Party or any of its affiliates, or over which such Willner Party or any of its affiliates maintains or has voting control, directly or indirectly, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of New Parent (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if the stockholders of New Parent are requested to act through the execution of written consent), in favor of Arie Kotler if he is a nominee for election to the board of directors of New Parent.

Termination Fee Letter Agreement

On September 8, 2020, Haymaker and the Sponsor entered into a letter agreement related to the Company Termination Fee (the “Termination Fee Letter Agreement”). In the event of any payment of the Company Termination Fee to Haymaker, Haymaker will allocate any such amounts as follows (and with the following priority): (i) to pay the expenses of Haymaker incurred in connection with the Proposed Transaction; (ii) to purchase from the Sponsor the Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor purchased in connection with the IPO; (iii) to reimburse Haymaker for its expenses in connection with the Proposed Transaction or any other potential business combinations; (iv) to pay $25,000 to the Sponsor; and (v) to pay any taxes applicable to Haymaker. Haymaker will cause the amount of the applicable Company Termination Fee remaining after such payments to be paid to the Public Stockholders at the time of the Haymaker’s liquidation on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by such Public Stockholders.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of Haymaker’s board of directors to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that, aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor and our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include:

•

the beneficial ownership of the Sponsor and certain of Haymaker’s directors and officers (the “Haymaker Initial Stockholders”) of an aggregate of 10,000,000 Founder Shares and 5,550,000 Private

•

the fact that the Sponsor will forfeit a portion of its Haymaker Private Placement Warrants and will receive deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock;

•

the continued indemnification of Haymaker’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of Haymaker’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;

•

of any third-party for services rendered or products sold to Haymaker, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account.

These interests may influence Haymaker’s board of directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal.

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

After careful consideration, Haymaker’s board of directors recommends that Haymaker stockholders vote “FOR” each Haymaker proposal being submitted to a vote of the Haymaker stockholders at the Haymaker special meeting of stockholders.

For a description of Haymaker’s reasons for the approval of the Business Combination and the recommendation of our board of directors, see the section entitled “The Business Combination—Haymaker’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Sources and Uses for the Business Combination

The following table summarizes the sources and uses for funding the Business Combination. These figures assume that no Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Total Uses	$	1,475

Note: Transaction summary assumes maximum cash consideration at closing and the closing of the pending acquisition of the Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC business.

(1)

5.0 million Founder Shares will be cancelled; 4.0 million of those shares will only be issued upon achieving the following milestones and are thus excluded from pro forma share count: 2.0 million withheld until share price reaches $13.00 (and cancelled if not achieved in five years), another 2.0 million withheld until stock price reaches $15.00 (and cancelled if not achieved in seven years).

(2)	Includes $32 million of posted cash collateral.

Redemption Rights

Under Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest not previously released to Haymaker to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (b) the total number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock included as part of the units issued in the IPO. However, Haymaker will not redeem any public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in Haymaker having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) of less than $5,000,001. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $405.0 million on June 30, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.13. Under Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in connection with an initial business combination, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert of as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), is restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the public shares.

If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and will not participate in the future growth of New Parent, if any. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Haymaker’s transfer agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. See the section entitled “The Special Meeting of Haymaker Stockholders—Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “summary pro forma data”) gives effect to the reverse recapitalization of Arko by New Parent and Haymaker as described in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, New Parent will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of issuing shares for the net assets of Haymaker, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of New Parent and Haymaker will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of June 30, 2020 gives effect to the Business Combination and financing activities described above as if they had occurred on June 30, 2020. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019 give effect to the Business Combination and financing activities described above as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.

The summary pro forma data have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) of Haymaker and Arko appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements. In addition, the pro forma financial statements were based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of the entities for the applicable periods included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The summary unaudited pro forma data has been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination. In addition, the summary unaudited pro forma data does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Haymaker and Arko subsequent to the close of the Business Combination.

This presentation gives effect to Haymaker public shareholders redeeming approximately 12.9 million shares for aggregate redemption payments of $130.5 million. Aggregate redemption payments of $130.5 million calculated as the different between (i) $405.0 million available trust cash and $0.5 million of funds held outside the trust and (ii) $275.0 million required available minimum trust cash. The number of public redemption shares of approximately 12.9 million shares was calculated based on the estimated per share redemption value of $10.13 ($405.0 million in trust account divided by 40.0 million outstanding Haymaker public shares).

Risks Related to Arko’s Business and Industry

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Arko, a holding company, holds a majority of the outstanding equity of GPM, which is the entity responsible for operating the business described in “Information About Arko.” Following the closing of the Business Combination, both Arko and GPM will be indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Arko and its subsidiaries (including GPM) prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence in the U.S. could adversely affect GPM’s business.

GPM’s operations and the scope of services it provides are affected by changes in the macro-economic situation in the United States, which has a direct impact on consumer confidence and spending patterns. A number of key macro-economic factors, such as rising interest rates, inflation and unemployment, could have a negative effect on consumer habits and spending, and lead to lower demand for fuel and other products sold at GPM convenience stores and gas stations. Significant negative developments in the macro-economic environment in the United States could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

If GPM does not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, its future growth may be limited. Furthermore, any acquisitions GPM completes are subject to substantial risks that could result in losses.

GPM’s ability to grow depends substantially on its ability to make acquisitions. GPM intends to expand its retail business and dealer distribution network through acquisitions. However, GPM may be unable to take advantage of accretive opportunities for any of the following reasons:

•

GPM is unable to identify attractive acquisition opportunities or negotiate acceptable terms for acquisitions;

•

GPM is unable to reach an agreement regarding the terms of pursued acquisitions;

•

GPM is unable to raise financing for such acquisitions on economically acceptable terms; or

•

GPM is outbid by competitors.

If GPM is unable to make acquisitions, the future growth of GPM will be limited. In addition, if GPM completes any future acquisitions, its capitalization and results of operations may change significantly. GPM may complete acquisitions, which, contrary to GPM’s expectations, ultimately prove to not be accretive. If any of these events were to occur, GPM’s future growth would be limited.

GPM may make acquisitions that it believes are beneficial, which ultimately result in negative financial consequences. Any acquisition involves potential risks, including, among other things:

•

GPM may not be able to successfully integrate the businesses it acquires;

•

GPM may not be able to achieve the anticipated synergies and financial improvements from the acquired businesses;

•

GPM may not be able to retain key locations from the acquired businesses;

•

GPM may be unable to discover material liabilities of businesses that it acquires;

•

acquisitions may divert the attention of senior management from focusing on GPM’s day-to-day operations;

•

GPM may experience a decrease in liquidity resulting from its use of a significant portion of cash available for investment or borrowing capacity to finance acquisitions;

•

substantial investments in financial controls, information systems, management resources and human resources may be required in order to support future growth; and

•

GPM may have difficulties in obtaining the required approvals, permits, licenses and consents for the acquired sites.

In December 2019, GPM entered into an agreement to purchase Empire Petroleum Partners’ fuel distribution activities in the United States. There can be no assurance that this transaction will close on the terms of the agreement or at all.

GPM’s future growth depends on its ability to successfully implement its organic growth strategy, a major part of which consists of remodeling its convenience stores.

A major part of GPM’s organic growth strategy consists of remodeling its convenience stores in order to improve customers’ shopping experience by offering high-quality, convenient and efficient facilities. Such large-scale remodeling projects entail significant risks, including shortages of materials or skilled labor, unforeseen engineering, environmental and/or geological problems, work stoppages, weather interference, unanticipated cost increases and non-availability of construction equipment. Such risks, in addition to potential difficulties in obtaining any required licenses and permits, could lead to significant cost increases and substantial delays in the opening of the remodeled convenience stores. Historically, GPM has grown through acquisitions and has not previously undertaken such large-scale remodeling projects. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that GPM will be able to achieve its growth targets by successfully implementing this strategy.

Significant changes in current consumption of tobacco and nicotine products could adversely affect GPM’s business.

Tobacco and nicotine products are a significant revenue source for GPM. Significant increases in wholesale cigarette prices, current and future tobacco legislation, including restrictions or bans on flavored tobacco products, national, state and local campaigns to discourage smoking, reductions in manufacturer rebates for the purchase of tobacco products and increases in taxes on cigarettes and other tobacco products could have a material adverse effect on the demand for tobacco products and, in turn, on GPM’s financial condition and results of operations.

GPM’s financial condition and results of operations are influenced by changes in the wholesale prices of motor fuel, which may adversely impact GPM’s sales, customers’ financial condition and the availability of trade credit.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, fuel sales were approximately 65% of GPM’s total net sales and 34% of its gross profit. Historically, GPM has not carried inventory on hand for more than five days in the ordinary course of its business and has not engaged in hedging transactions. GPM’s operating results are influenced by prices for motor fuel, variable retail margins and the market for such products. Crude oil and domestic wholesale motor fuel markets are volatile. General political conditions, acts of war or terrorism and

instability in oil producing regions, particularly in the Middle East, Russia, Africa and South America, could significantly impact crude oil supplies and wholesale fuel prices. Significant increases and volatility in wholesale fuel prices could result in substantial increases in the retail price of motor fuel products, lower fuel gross margin per gallon, lower demand for such products and lower sales to consumers and dealers. This volatility makes it extremely difficult to predict the impact future wholesale cost fluctuations will have on GPM’s financial condition and results of operations. Increases in fuel prices compress retail fuel margin because fuel costs typically increase faster than retailers are able to pass them along to customers. In addition, when prices for motor fuel rise, some of GPM’s fuel distributor customers may have insufficient credit to purchase motor fuel from GPM at their historical volumes. Finally, higher prices for motor fuel may reduce GPM’s access to trade credit or worsen the terms under which such credit is available to GPM.

Significant changes in demand for fuel-based modes of transportation could adversely affect GPM’s business.

The road transportation fuel and convenience business is generally driven by consumer preferences, growth of road traffic and trends in travel and tourism. A number of key factors could impact current customer behavior and trends with respect to road transportation and fuel consumption. These include new technologies providing increased access to non-fuel dependent means of transportation, legislation and regulations focused on fuel efficiency and lower fuel consumption, and the public’s general approach with regard to climate change and the effects of greenhouse gas emissions. Significant developments in any of the above-listed factors could lead to substantial changes in the demand for petroleum-based fuel and have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM operates in a highly competitive industry characterized by low entry barriers.

GPM competes with other convenience stores, gas stations, large and small food retailers, quick service restaurants and dollar stores. Since all such competitors offer products and services that are very similar to those offered by GPM, a number of key factors determine GPM’s ability to successfully compete in the marketplace. These include the location of stores, competitive pricing, convenient access routes, the quality and configuration of stores and fueling facilities, and a high level of service. In particular, large convenience store chains have expanded their number of locations and remodeled their existing locations in recent years, enhancing their competitive position. In addition, some of GPM’s competitors have greater financial resources and scale than GPM, which may provide them with competitive advantages in negotiating fuel and other supply arrangements. GPM’s inability to successfully compete in the marketplace by continuously meeting customer requirements concerning price, quality and service level could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Negative events or developments associated with branded motor fuel suppliers could have an adverse impact on GPM’s revenues.

The success of GPM’s operations is dependent, in part, on the continuing favorable reputation, market value and name recognition associated with the motor fuel brands sold at GPM-controlled gas stations and to independent and lessee dealers. An event which adversely affects the value of those brands could have a negative impact on the volumes of motor fuel GPM distributes, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM depends on four principal suppliers for the majority of its gross fuel purchases and two suppliers for merchandise. A failure by a principal supplier to renew its supply agreement, a disruption in supply or an unexpected change in supplier relationships could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Valero Marketing and Supply Company supplied approximately 21%, Marathon Petroleum Company LP (“Marathon Petroleum”) supplied approximately 21%, BP Products North America Inc. (“BP North America”) supplied approximately 15% and Equilon Enterprises

LLC DBA Shell Oil Products US (“Shell”) supplied approximately 16% of GPM’s gross fuel purchases, respectively. GPM’s supply agreement with Valero Marketing expires in March 2026, GPM’s supply agreement with Marathon Petroleum expires in June 2023, GPM’s supply agreement with BP North America expires in December 2022 and GPM’s supply agreement with Shell expires in August 2023. If any of Valero Marketing, Marathon Petroleum, BP North America or Shell elects not to renew its contracts with GPM, GPM may be unable to replace the volume of motor fuel it currently purchases from such supplier on similar terms or at all. GPM relies upon its suppliers to timely provide the volumes and types of motor fuels for which they contract. GPM purchases motor fuels from a variety of suppliers under term contracts. In times of extreme market demand or supply disruption, GPM may be unable to acquire enough fuel to satisfy the demand of its customers. Any disruption in supply or a significant change in GPM’s relationship with its principal fuel suppliers could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM depends on two major vendors, Core-Mark and Grocery Supply Company, to supply a majority of its in-store merchandise. A significant disruption or operational failure affecting the operations of Core-Mark or Grocery Supply Company could materially impact the availability, quality and price of products sold at GPM convenience stores and gas stations, cause GPM to incur substantial unanticipated costs and expenses, and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The retail sale, distribution and storage of motor fuels is subject to environmental protection and operational safety laws and regulations that may expose GPM or its customers to significant costs and liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business.

GPM and its facilities and operations are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws, and regulations. These laws and regulations continue to evolve and are expected to increase in both number and complexity over time and govern not only the manner in which GPM conducts its operations, but also the products it sells. For example, international agreements and national, regional, and state legislation and regulatory measures that aim to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions or otherwise address climate change are currently in various stages of implementation. There are inherent risks of increasingly restrictive environmental and other regulation that could materially impact GPM’s results of operations or financial condition. Most of the costs of complying with existing laws and regulations pertaining to GPM’s operations and products are embedded in the normal costs of doing business. However, it is not possible to predict with certainty the amount of additional investments in new or existing technology or facilities or the amounts of increased operating costs to be incurred in the future to prevent, control, reduce or eliminate releases of hazardous materials or other pollutants into the environment; remediate and restore areas damaged by prior releases of hazardous materials; or comply with new or changed environmental laws or regulations. Although these costs may be significant to the results of operations, GPM does not presently expect them to have a material adverse effect on GPM’s liquidity or financial position. Accidental leaks and spills requiring cleanup may occur in the ordinary course of business. GPM may incur expenses for corrective actions or environmental investigations at various owned and previously owned facilities or leased or previously leased and at third-party-owned waste disposal sites used by GPM. An obligation may arise when operations are closed or sold or at non-GPM sites where company products have been handled or disposed of. Expenditures to fulfill these obligations may relate to facilities and sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable at the time but may require investigative or remedial work or both to meet current or future standards.

GPM’s business involves the purchase of motor fuels for retail sale and wholesale distribution to customers, including third-party sub-wholesalers and bulk purchasers. GPM’s share of the motor fuels is distributed to GPM-controlled convenience stores, independent and lessee dealers and consignment locations, whereas the third-party sub-wholesalers’ share is generally distributed to convenience stores and the bulk purchasers’ share is generally retained for their own use. GPM does not physically transport any of the motor fuels. Rather, third-party transporters distribute the motor fuels.

The transportation of motor fuels by third-party transporters, as well as the associated storage of such fuels at locations including convenience stores, are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and

regulations, including those relating to ownership and operation of underground storage tanks, the release or discharge of regulated materials into the air, water and soil, the generation, storage, handling, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, the exposure of persons to regulated materials, and the health and safety of employees dedicated to such transportation and storage activities. These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations and restrictions that are applicable to motor fuels transportation and storage and other related activities, including acquisition of, or applications for, permits, licenses, or other approvals before conducting regulated activities; restrictions on the quality and labeling of the motor fuels that may be sold; restrictions on the types, quantities and concentration of materials that may be released into the environment; required capital expenditures to comply with pollution control requirements; and imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution or non-compliance resulting from these activities. Numerous governmental authorities, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), and analogous state agencies, have the power to monitor and enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits, licenses and approvals issued under them, including fines, which can result in increased pollution control equipment costs or other actions. Failure to comply with these existing laws and regulations, or any newly adopted laws or regulations, may trigger administrative, civil or criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties or other sanctions, the imposition of investigative, remedial or corrective action obligations, the imposition of additional compliance requirements on certain operations or the issuance of orders enjoining certain operations. Moreover, the trend in environmental regulation is for more restrictions and limitations on activities that may adversely affect the environment, the occurrence of which may result in increased costs of compliance.

Where releases of motor fuels or other substances or wastes have occurred, federal and state laws and regulations require that contamination caused by such releases be assessed and remediated to meet applicable clean-up standards. Certain environmental laws impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean-up and restore sites where motor fuels or other waste products have been disposed or otherwise released. The costs associated with the investigation and remediation of contamination, as well as any associated third-party claims for damages or to impose corrective action obligations, could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on GPM or its customers who transport motor fuels or own or operate convenience stores or other facilities where motor fuels are stored. While GPM has no plans to transport or store the motor fuels it distributes, if GPM were ever to conduct activities that resulted in it being legally characterized as a transporter of motor fuels, or if it were ever held under applicable law to have negligently entrusted these transportation or any storage duties to a third party, then GPM, too, could be subject to some or all of these costs and liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

For more information on potential risks arising from environmental and occupational safety and health laws and regulations, please see “GPM’s Business—Government Regulation.”

Business disruption and related risks resulting from the recent outbreak of COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business and results of operations.

In December 2019, Chinese officials reported a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak. COVID-19 has since spread throughout the world, leading the World Health Organization to declare on March 11, 2020, that COVID-19 reached the magnitude of a global pandemic. The rapid spread of COVID-19 throughout the U.S. led federal, state and local governments to take significant steps in an attempt to reduce exposure to COVID-19 and control its negative effects on public health and the U.S. economy. Such governmental measures remain ongoing. The ultimate duration and severity of COVID-19 remain uncertain, however, a substantial and continuous deterioration in the business environment in the United States could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including:

•

Significant reductions or volatility in demand for products sold at GPM convenience stores and gas stations due to substantially lower customer traffic resulting from travel restrictions and/or social distancing measures;

•

Significant disruptions, or even a complete shutdown, of some or all of GPM’s operations as a result of government-imposed restrictions on customers and/or GPM employees;

•

Temporary or long-term disruptions to GPM’s supply chain in connection with the pandemic’s impact on GPM’s network of suppliers and distributors, significantly impacting the quality, variety and pricing of merchandise sold at GPM sites;

•

Limitation on employee availability and restrictions on the sale and pricing of certain products;

•

Cost to comply with constantly evolving laws and regulations related to COVID-19, including additional cleaning and protective equipment for employees;

•

Store closures and reduction of store capacity because of local outbreaks of COVID-19 resulting in reduced sales of merchandise and fuel;

•

Significant delays in the import of certain products, including essential products expected to sell at an increased volume in connection with COVID-19;

•

Changes to our competitors’ service offerings, including delivery and drive-through options, which GPM offers on a limited basis; and

•

Reduced value of newly acquired stores as they experience reduced sales compared to the time of acquisition.

Advancements in technologies that significantly reduce fuel consumption could adversely affect GPM’s business.

Fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. There have been significant governmental incentives and consumer pressures to increase the use of alternative fuels in the United States. A number of automotive, industrial and power generation manufacturers are developing more fuel-efficient engines, hybrid engines and alternative clean power systems. In 2019, hybrid and electric vehicles accounted for approximately 1.9% of all automotive sales in the United States. The more successful and widespread these alternatives become, as a result of governmental incentives or regulations, technological advances, consumer demand, improved pricing or otherwise, the greater the potential negative impact on the demand, pricing and profitability of our fuel-based products and services.

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in liabilities, penalties or costs that could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business.

GPM’s operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, including regulations related to the sale of alcohol, tobacco, nicotine products, lottery/lotto products and other age-restricted products, various food safety and product quality requirements, environmental laws and regulations, and various employment and tax laws. We expect that there will be frequent changes and variation in local and state regulations in response to COVID-19, including the regulation of in-house dining and capacity restrictions, which vary by jurisdiction and locality. GPM will be required to devote substantial resources in order to comply with this changing regulatory environment and will be required to implement compliance protocols that will vary based on local requirements and regulations.

GPM’s violation of, or inability to comply with, state laws and regulations concerning the sale of alcohol, tobacco, nicotine products, lottery/lotto products and other age-restricted products could expose GPM to regulatory sanctions ranging from monetary fines to the revocation or suspension of GPM’s permits and licenses for the sale of such products. Such regulatory action could adversely affect GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM’s failure to comply with applicable labor and employment laws pertaining to, among others, minimum wage, mandated healthcare benefits or paid time-off benefits could result in increased regulatory scrutiny, monetary fines and substantial costs and expenses related to legal proceedings.

GPM’s business, particularly the operation of gas stations, and the storage and transportation of fuel products, is directly affected by numerous environmental laws and regulations in the United States pertaining, in particular, to the quality of fuel products, the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes and the prevention and remediation of environmental contaminations. Such laws and regulations are constantly evolving and have generally become more stringent over time. GPM’s compliance with such evolving regulation requires significant and continuously increasing capital expenditures. GPM’s business may also be (indirectly) affected by the adoption of environmental laws and regulations intended to address global climate change by limiting carbon emissions and introducing more stringent requirements for the exploration, drilling and transportation of crude oil and petroleum products. Increasingly wide-spread implementation of such laws and regulations may lead to a significant increase in the cost of petroleum-based fuels and, in turn, lower demand for road transportation fuel. GPM’s failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, or a significant contamination at one of its sites requiring remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater on a large scale, could expose GPM to substantial fines and penalties, as well as administrative, civil and criminal charges, all of which could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM is subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions, including income taxes, fuel excise taxes, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes, franchise taxes, property taxes and tobacco taxes. Many of these tax liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authorities. Substantial changes or reforms in the current tax regime could result in increased tax expenses and potentially have a material adverse effect on GPM’s financial condition and results of operations.

Substantial management turnover could adversely affect GPM’s business.

GPM is currently managed by a group of experienced senior executives with substantial knowledge and understanding of the industry in which it operates. GPM’s inability to retain its senior management, adequately replace any member of its management team in case of departure or identify and recruit highly qualified individuals for future management positions, could adversely affect GPM’s business, reputation and results of operations. Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on GPM’s business, employees, customers, third parties with whom GPM has relationships, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on New Parent. These uncertainties may impair New Parent’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the Business Combination. If key GPM employees depart because of uncertainty related to the Business Combination or a desire not to remain with New Parent, GPM’s business could be harmed.

The failure to recruit or retain qualified personnel could adversely affect GPM’s business.

GPM is dependent on its ability to recruit and retain qualified individuals to work in and manage its convenience stores, and its operations are subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, overtime, working conditions and employment eligibility requirements. Economic factors, such as a decrease in unemployment and an increase in mandatory minimum wages and social benefits, could have a material impact on GPM’s results of operations if GPM is required to significantly increase its wages and benefits expenditures in order to attract and retain qualified personnel. At the state and local levels, there are proposals currently under consideration to increase minimum wage rates. In 2019, efforts were put forth by the U.S. federal government to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, instead of the current rate of $7.25 per hour. Such an increase could have a material impact on GPM’s results of operations. However, no such legislation has been enacted at this time. Additionally, the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could impact GPM’s ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel.

Unfavorable weather conditions could adversely affect GPM’s business.

Weather conditions have a significant effect on GPM’s sales, as retail customer transactions in higher profit margin products generally increase when weather conditions are favorable. Consequently, GPM’s results are

seasonal, and GPM typically earns more during the warmer second and third quarters of the year. Severe weather phenomena, such as hurricanes, during those quarters may adversely affect GPM’s results of operations. In addition, severe weather conditions could result in significant damage to GPM gas stations, convenience stores and infrastructure, potentially resulting in substantial costs and expenses.

GPM may be held liable for fraudulent credit card transactions on its fuel dispensers.

Europay, MasterCard and Visa, or EMV, is a global standard for credit cards that uses computer chips to authenticate and secure chip-card transactions. The liability for fraudulent credit card transactions shifted from the credit card processor to GPM in October 2015 for transactions processed inside the convenience stores (although due to the unavailability of the correct software from branded fuel suppliers, certain of such suppliers have retained certain associated liabilities) and will shift to GPM in April 2021 for transactions at the fuel dispensers. In connection with incentive funds provided by fuel suppliers, GPM is actively upgrading its point-of-sale machines and fuel dispensers to be EMV-compliant at the fuel dispenser. GPM has upgraded all of its inside point-of-sale machines to be EMV-compliant and is in the process of upgrading its fuel dispensers to be EMV-compliant (approximately 20-25% of locations are expected to be upgraded by the end of 2020). Due to the unavailability of the correct software from branded fuel suppliers and the cost to upgrade each site, GPM does not expect to upgrade all of its sites prior to April 2021 and accordingly, may be subject to liability for fraudulent credit card transactions processed at fuel dispensers.

Significant disruptions of GPM’s information technology systems or breaches of its data security could adversely affect its business.

GPM relies on multiple information technology systems and a number of third-party vendor platforms (collectively, “IT Systems”) in order to run and manage its daily operations. Such IT Systems allow GPM to manage various aspects of its business and to provide reliable analytical information to its management. IT Systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage and interruption from power loss or natural disasters, computer system and network failures, loss of telecommunications services, physical and electronic loss of access to data and information, security breaches or other security incidents, and computer viruses or attacks. A serious, long-lasting disruption of GPM’s IT Systems could lead to the breakdown of critical operations and financial reporting systems, and have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operation.

As a fuel and merchandise retailer, GPM collects and stores large amounts of data on its network, including personal data from customers, as well as other sensitive information concerning its employees, business partners and vendors. A breakdown or breach of GPM’s IT Systems could result in the unauthorized release of such personal and sensitive information. Although GPM has invested in measures to reduce these risks, it cannot guarantee that such measures will be successful in preventing compromise and/or disruption of its IT Systems and related data. An unauthorized release of personal data and other sensitive information resulting from a breakdown or breach of GPM’s IT Systems could expose it to significant costs and expenses, regulatory investigations and penalties, and potential lawsuits, all of which could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM depends on third-party transportation providers for the transportation of all of its motor fuel. Thus, a change of providers or a significant change in GPM’s relationship with these providers could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business.

All of the motor fuel GPM distributes is transported from terminals to gas stations by third-party transportation providers. Such providers may suspend, reduce or terminate their obligations to GPM if certain events (such as force majeure) occur. A change of key transportation providers, a disruption or cessation in services provided by such providers or a significant change in GPM’s relationship with such providers could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

GPM’s operations present risks which may not be fully covered by insurance.

GPM carries comprehensive insurance against the hazards and risks underlying its operations. GPM believes its insurance policies are customary in the industry; however, some losses and liabilities associated with its operations may not be covered by its insurance policies. In addition, there can be no assurance that GPM will be able to obtain similar insurance coverage on favorable terms (or at all) in the future. Significant uninsured losses and liabilities could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, GPM’s insurance is subject to high deductibles. As a result, certain large claims, even if covered by insurance, may require a substantial cash outlay by GPM, which could have a material adverse effect on GPM’s financial condition and results of operations.

Certain provisions in some of GPM’s material agreements could delay or prevent a potential change of control transaction.

Certain of GPM’s material agreements include provisions subjecting the continuation of such agreements to the counterparties’ consent should Mr. Arie Kotler cease to (directly or indirectly) control, or provide services to, GPM (“Change of Control Provisions”). Such Change of Control provisions may have the effect of delaying or preventing a potential change of control of GPM, as there can be no assurance that the required consents can be obtained on terms satisfactory to Haymaker or any potential acquirer.

GPM’s variable rate debt could adversely affect GPM’s financial condition and results of operations.

Certain of GPM’s outstanding term loans and revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates, subjecting GPM to fluctuations in the short-term interest rate. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 89% of GPM’s debt bore interest at variable rates. Consequently, significant increases in market interest rates would create substantially higher debt service requirements for GPM, which could have a material adverse effect on its overall financial condition, including its ability to service its indebtedness.

GPM’s credit facilities have substantial restrictions and financial covenants that may restrict GPM’s business and financing activities.

GPM depends on the earnings and cash flow generated by its operations in order to meet its debt service obligations. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in GPM’s credit facilities, and any future financing agreements, may restrict GPM’s ability to finance future operations or expand GPM’s business activities. For example, GPM’s credit facilities restrict its ability to, among other things:

•

incur additional debt or issue guarantees;

•

incur or permit liens to exist on certain property;

•

make certain investments, acquisitions or other restricted payments;

•

modify or terminate certain material contracts; and

•

merge or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets.

In addition, the credit agreements governing GPM’s credit facilities contain covenants requiring GPM to maintain certain financial ratios. See “Arko Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information about GPM’s credit facilities.

GPM’s ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants is uncertain and will be affected by the levels of cash flow from operations and other events or circumstances beyond GPM’s control. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, GPM’s ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If GPM violates any provisions of its credit facilities that are not cured or waived within the appropriate time periods

provided in such credit facilities, a significant portion of GPM’s indebtedness may become immediately due and payable, and GPM’s lenders’ commitment to make further loans to GPM may terminate. GPM might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments.

If GPM were unable to repay the accelerated amounts, its lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such debt. If the payment of GPM’s debt is accelerated, its assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full, which could result in GPM’s insolvency.

The enactment and implementation of derivatives legislation, and the promulgation of regulations pursuant thereto, could have an adverse effect on GPM’s ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity-price, interest-rate, and other risks associated with GPM’s business and increase the working capital requirement to conduct these hedging activities.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), enacted on July 21, 2010, established federal oversight and regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market and entities that participate in that market. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) and the SEC to promulgate rules and regulations implementing the Dodd-Frank Act. Although the CFTC has finalized certain regulations, others remain to be finalized or implemented, and it is not possible at this time to predict when this will occur.

The CFTC has designated certain interest-rate swaps and credit-default swaps for mandatory clearing, and the associated rules require GPM, in connection with derivative activities, to comply with clearing and trade-execution requirements or take steps to qualify for an exemption from such requirements. Although GPM would qualify for the end-user exception from the mandatory clearing requirements for swaps entered to hedge certain commercial risks, the application of the mandatory clearing and trade-execution requirements to other market participants, such as swap dealers, may change the cost and availability of the swaps that GPM may use for hedging. In addition, for uncleared swaps, the CFTC or federal banking regulators may require end-users to enter into credit support documentation and/or post initial and variation margin in the future, although current rules do not require GPM’s swap dealer counterparties to collect margin from GPM for hedging transactions that it may engage in. Posting of collateral could impact liquidity and reduce cash available to GPM for capital expenditures, therefore reducing GPM’s ability to enter into derivatives to reduce risk and protect cash flows.

Finally, the Dodd-Frank Act was intended, in part, to reduce the volatility of oil and gas prices, which some legislators attributed to speculative trading in derivatives and commodity instruments related to oil and gas. GPM’s revenues could be adversely affected if a consequence of the Dodd-Frank Act, and related regulations, is lower commodity prices.

The full impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and related regulatory requirements upon GPM’s business will not be known until all regulations are implemented and the market for derivative contracts has adjusted. From GPM’s perspective, the Dodd-Frank Act, and related current and future regulations, could significantly increase the cost of derivative contracts, materially alter the terms of derivative contracts, reduce the availability of derivatives to protect against business risks and reduce the ability to monetize or restructure existing derivative contracts. To date, GPM has engaged in very limited hedging transactions. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the Dodd-Frank Act, and related regulations, may prevent GPM from using derivatives.

In addition to derivatives legislation in the U.S., the European Union and other non-U.S. jurisdictions are implementing regulations with respect to the derivatives market. To the extent GPM transacts with counterparties in foreign jurisdictions, GPM may become subject to such regulations. At this time, the impact of such regulations is not clear.

The proposed phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) could adversely affect GPM’s results of operations and financial condition.

In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of 2021. In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board proposed guidance that would help facilitate the market transition from existing reference rates to alternative rates, however, there is currently no definitive information regarding the future use of LIBOR or a replacement rate. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 89% of GPM’s debt bore interest at variable rates. Most of GPM’s credit agreements were entered into in 2019 and the beginning of 2020. Such credit agreements include a mechanism, pursuant to which the underlying interest rate shall be determined according to the alternative index replacing LIBOR, as customary in the market at the time. Since there is still great uncertainty in the market with respect to the elimination of LIBOR and the potential transition to a replacement rate, the impact of such changes on GPM’s future debt repayment obligations, results of operations and financial condition remains uncertain.

Terrorist attacks and threatened or actual war may adversely affect GPM’s business.

GPM’s business is affected by general economic conditions and fluctuations in consumer confidence and spending, which can decline as a result of numerous factors outside of GPM’s control. Terrorist attacks or threats, whether within the U.S. or abroad, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the U.S. or its allies, or military or trade disruptions impacting GPM suppliers or customers may adversely impact GPM’s operations. Specifically, strategic targets such as energy related assets (which could include refineries that produce the motor fuel GPM purchases or ports in which crude oil is delivered) may be at greater risk of future terrorist attacks than other targets in the U.S. or abroad. Such occurrences could have a substantial impact on energy prices, including prices for motor fuels, and a material adverse effect on GPM’s business and results of operations.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Integration of Business

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Arko, a holding company, holds a majority of the outstanding equity of GPM, which is the entity responsible for operating the business described in “Information About Arko.” Following the closing of the Business Combination, both Arko and GPM will be indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to New Parent and its subsidiaries (including Arko and GPM) following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Each of Haymaker and GPM have incurred and will incur substantial costs in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions, such as legal, accounting, consulting and financial advisory fees.

As part of the Business Combination, each of Haymaker and GPM are utilizing professional service firms for legal, accounting and financial advisory services. Although the parties have been provided with estimates of the costs for each advisory firm, the total actual costs may exceed those estimates.

While Haymaker and GPM work to complete the Business Combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.

Successful completion of the Business Combination may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could harm New Parent’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including with respect to any future growth-oriented acquisitions undertaken by GPM. A significant component of GPM’s organic growth strategy consists of remodeling its convenience stores in order to improve customers’ shopping experience by offering high-quality, convenient and efficient facilities. Diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could lead to substantial delays in the opening of the remodeled convenience stores and have an adverse effect on New Parent.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Parent will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Parent will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that GPM does not currently incur. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the PCAOB and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require New Parent to carry out activities GPM has not done previously. For example, New Parent will create new board committees and adopt new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, additional expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if our auditors identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting), New Parent could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect New Parent’s reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Risks associated with New Parent’s status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the board of directors or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require New Parent to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business of GPM and achieve certain strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

New Parent may not be able to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination is consummated.

GPM is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, following the consummation of the Business Combination and the transactions related thereto, New Parent will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires, among other things, New Parent to evaluate annually the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of GPM prior to the Business Combination. Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404(a)”) requires that, beginning with the second annual report following the Business Combination, management assess and report annually on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and identify any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, Section 404(b) requires the independent registered public accounting firm to issue an annual report that addresses the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. New Parent expects its first Section 404(a) and 404(b) assessment will take place for its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2021. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If New Parent is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of its shares of common stock.

GPM’s and Haymaker’s operations may be restricted during the pendency of the Business Combination pursuant to terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, GPM is subject to customary interim operating covenants relating to carrying on its business in the ordinary course of business and is also subject to customary restrictions on actions that may be taken during such period without Haymaker’s consent. As a result, GPM may be unable, during the pendency of the Business Combination, to make certain acquisitions and capital expenditures, borrow money and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.

If the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together with the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, do not qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, Arko’s U.S. shareholders and the Haymaker stockholders may recognize substantial taxable gain as a result of the mergers, and may be required to pay substantial additional U.S. federal income taxes, in the taxable year in which the transactions occur.

The First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together with the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, are intended to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code. The positions of Arko and Haymaker are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts, and the parties do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the transactions described in the merger agreement. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the qualification of the First Merger and the Second Merger taken together with the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or that a court will not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were to be successful in any such contention, or if for any other reason the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together with the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, were not treated as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, then Arko’s U.S. shareholders and Haymaker stockholders, as the case may be, would not be entitled to defer any portion of the gain realized as a result of receiving shares of New Parent Common Stock in the transactions and may be required to pay substantial additional U.S. federal income taxes with respect to the taxable year in which such transactions occur.

New Parent may incur successor liabilities due to conduct arising prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

New Parent may be subject to certain liabilities of Haymaker, Arko and GPM. Haymaker, Arko and GPM at times may each become subject to litigation claims in the operation of its business, including, but not limited to, with respect to employee matters and contract matters. From time to time, GPM and Arko may also face claims from third parties, and some of these claims may lead to litigation. GPM and Arko may also initiate certain claims against third parties. Any litigation may be expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from our business and negatively affect its operating results or financial condition. The outcome of any litigation cannot be guaranteed, and adverse outcomes can affect Haymaker, Arko, GPM and New Parent negatively.

Arko is required to repay principal and interest outstanding under its corporate bonds in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) rather than U.S. dollars, which could expose Arko to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations.

Arko has NIS 243,234,809 par value (approximately $70 million as of June 30, 2020) Series C corporate bonds outstanding (“Bonds (Series C)”), all of which are denominated in NIS. 36% of the Bonds (Series C) were issued to investors in 2016. Arko’s obligation to repay the outstanding principal and interest under the Bonds (Series C) exposes Arko to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations between the NIS and the U.S. dollar, such that a substantial value increase in the NIS against the U.S. dollar could impact liquidity. Arko may enter into currency hedging transactions in order to decrease the risks associated with unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations, however, there is no assurance that such hedging transactions will provide adequate protection and cover all of Arko’s potential exposure in connection with exchange rate fluctuations.

Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of GPM, all of whom we expect to stay with New Parent following the Business Combination. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of New Parent.

Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and successfully operate the business following the Closing is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of GPM. Although we expect key personnel to remain with New Parent following the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that they will do so. It is possible that GPM will lose some key personnel, and that loss could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Parent. Furthermore, following the Closing, certain of the key personnel of GPM may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause New Parent to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

Some of GPM’s relationships with its customers, vendors and suppliers may experience disruptions in connection with the Business Combination, which may limit New Parent’s business.

Parties with which GPM currently does business or may do business in the future, including customers, vendors and suppliers, may experience uncertainty associated with the Business Combination, including with respect to future business relationships with New Parent. As a result, the business relationships of GPM may be subject to disruptions if customers, vendors, suppliers or others attempt to renegotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than GPM. For example, certain customers and partners of GPM may exercise contractual termination rights as they arise or elect to not renew contracts with GPM. These disruptions could harm relationships with existing customers, vendors, suppliers or others and preclude GPM from attracting new customers, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of GPM and/or New Parent. The effect of such disruptions could be exacerbated by any delay in the consummation of the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to New Parent and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

New Parent’s principal stockholders and management control New Parent and their interests may conflict with yours in the future.

Immediately following the anticipated Business Combination and the application of net proceeds, New Parent’s executive officers and directors and significant stockholders will own approximately % to % of the outstanding voting stock of New Parent. Each share of New Parent Common Stock initially entitles its holders to one vote on all matters presented to stockholders generally. Accordingly, those owners, if voting in the same manner, will be able to control the election and removal of the directors of New Parent and thereby determine corporate and management policies, including potential mergers or acquisitions, payment of dividends, asset sales, amendment of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws and other significant corporate transactions of New Parent for so long as they retain significant ownership. This concentration of ownership may delay or deter possible changes in control of New Parent, which may reduce the value of an investment in the Common Stock of New Parent. So long as they continue to own a significant amount of the combined voting power, even if such amount is less than 50%, they will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control decisions of New Parent.

New Parent’s corporate structure will include Israeli subsidiaries that may have adverse tax consequences and expose New Parent to additional tax liabilities.

New Parent’s corporate structure will include Israeli subsidiaries that file tax returns in Israel. Israeli tax authorities may challenge positions taken by such subsidiaries with respect to its tax returns. To the extent such a

challenge is sustained, this could increase New Parent’s worldwide effective tax rate and adversely impact its financial position and results of operations. In addition, tax law or regulations in Israel may be amended and Israeli tax authorities may change their interpretations of existing tax law and regulations such that New Parent may be subject to increased tax liabilities, including upon termination or liquidation of its Israeli subsidiaries. If an Israeli subsidiary generates cash that New Parent wishes to transfer to the U.S. or if cash generated by New Parent’s operations is not sufficient to fund its U.S. operations, New Parent may face additional tax liabilities in transferring cash from its Israeli subsidiaries by means of dividends or otherwise to support New Parent, primarily due to withholding tax requirements imposed pursuant to the provisions of the Israeli tax law (which may be reduced under the provisions of the Convention between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Israel with respect to Taxes on Income), which could have a material adverse effect on New Parent’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Arko is required to comply with rules and regulations to satisfy its reporting obligations in connection with its Bonds (Series C) that trade on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”), and failure to comply with such rules may lead investors to lose confidence in Arko’s financial data, which could negatively impact New Parent.

Arko, GPM’s parent company, will be subject to the reporting requirements of the ISL so long as its Bonds (Series C) trade on the TASE. A significant change in the reporting requirements to which Arko is subject in Israel could result in substantial legal, accounting and other costs, and be burdensome on Arko’s personnel, systems and internal resources. Arko devotes significant resources to address reporting and compliance requirements under Israeli law, however, the measures Arko takes may not be sufficient to satisfy such requirements in the future. Arko’s failure to comply with such requirements may lead investors to lose confidence in Arko’s financial data, which could negatively impact New Parent.

New Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation designate specific courts as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by New Parent’s stockholders, which could limit its stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any state law claim for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (2) any action asserting a claim of or based on a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of ours to us or our stockholders; (3) any action asserting a claim pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our bylaws; or (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine (the “Delaware Forum Provision”). The Delaware Forum Provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court in Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act (the “Federal Forum Provision”). In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of New Parent Common Stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision; provided, however, that stockholders cannot and will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

We recognize that the Delaware Forum Provision and the Federal Forum Provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware. Additionally, the forum selection clauses in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage the filing of lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees, even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. In addition, while the Delaware Supreme

Court ruled in March 2020 that federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court were “facially valid” under Delaware law, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our Federal Forum Provision. If the Federal Forum Provision is found to be unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters. The Federal Forum Provision may also impose additional litigation costs on stockholders who assert that the provision is not enforceable or invalid. The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our stockholders.

Risks Related to Ownership of New Parent Common Stock and New Parent Warrants

Prior to the closing of the Business Combination, Arko, a holding company, holds a majority of the outstanding equity of GPM, which is the entity responsible for operating the business described in “Information About Arko.” Following the closing of the Business Combination, both Arko and GPM will be indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to New Parent and its subsidiaries (including Arko and GPM) following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Each of Arie Kotler, Morris Willner, the GPM Minority Investors and the Sponsor will own a significant portion of New Parent Common Stock and Arie Kotler and the Sponsor will have representation on the New Parent Board. Arie Kotler, the GPM Minority Investors, and the Sponsor may have interests that differ from those of other stockholders.

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, approximately % of New Parent Common Stock will be beneficially owned by Arie Kotler, approximately % of New Parent Common Stock will be beneficially owned by Morris Willner, approximately % of New Parent Common Stock will be beneficially owned by the Sponsor (or approximately % on a fully-diluted basis) and approximately % of New Parent Common Stock will be beneficially owned by the GPM Minority Investors. These levels of ownership interests assume that no shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock are elected to be redeemed by Haymaker’s Public Stockholders and exclude the exercise of outstanding warrants. In addition, director nominees were designated by and affiliated with the Sponsor and Arko. As a result, the Sponsor and Arko may be able to significantly influence the outcome of matters submitted for director action, subject to New Parent’s directors’ obligation to act in the interest of all of New Parent’s stockholders, and for shareholder action, including the designation and appointment of the New Parent board of directors (and committees thereof) and approval of significant corporate transactions, including business combinations, consolidations and mergers. The influence of Arko and the Sponsor over New Parent’s management could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of New Parent, which could cause the market price of New Parent Common Stock to decline or prevent New Parent’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for New Parent Common Stock. Additionally, the Sponsor is in the business of making investments in companies, and the Sponsor (or its affiliates) may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with New Parent or that supply New Parent with goods and services. the Sponsor (or its affiliates) may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to (or competitive with) New Parent’s business, and as a result those acquisition opportunities may not be available to New Parent. Under the “Corporate Opportunity” section of New Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, among other things, New Parent has renounced any interest or expectancy of New Parent or its subsidiaries being offered an opportunity to participate in any potential transaction opportunities available to Arko and certain of its affiliates and related parties, such parties have no obligation to communicate or offer such potential transaction opportunities to New Parent, and such parties will have no duty to refrain from engaging in the same or similar businesses as New Parent. Prospective investors in New Parent Common Stock should consider that the interests of Arko and the Sponsor may differ from their interests in material respects.

If New Parent fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, New Parent may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in New Parent’s financial and other public reporting, which is likely to negatively affect New Parent’s business and the market price of New Parent Common Stock.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for New Parent to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in New Parent’s implementation could cause New Parent to fail to meet its reporting obligations. In addition, any testing conducted by New Parent, or any testing conducted by New Parent’s independent registered public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in New Parent’s internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to New Parent’s financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in New Parent’s reported financial information, which is likely to negatively affect New Parent’s business and the market price of New Parent Common Stock.

Following the consummation of the business combination, New Parent will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires, management to certify the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404(a)”) requires that, beginning with New Parent’s second annual report following the business combination, management assess and report annually on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and identify any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, Section 404(b) requires the independent registered public accounting firm to issue a report annually that addresses the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. New Parent’s first Section 404(a) and 404(b) assessment is expected to take place for the annual report for the year ending December 31, 2021.

The market price and trading volume of New Parent Common Stock may be volatile and could decline significantly following the Business Combination.

The stock markets, including Nasdaq and the TASE, on which New Parent intends to list the New Parent Common Stock have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Even if an active, liquid and orderly trading market develops and is sustained for New Parent Common Stock following the Business Combination, the market price of New Parent Common Stock may be volatile and could decline significantly. In addition, the trading volume in New Parent Common Stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of New Parent Common Stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the market price of New Parent Common Stock as of the date of the consummation of the Business Combination. New Parent cannot assure you that the market price of New Parent Common Stock will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, among others, the following:

•

the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this proxy statement/prospectus;

•

actual or anticipated differences in New Parent’s estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for New Parent’s revenues, results of operations, level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;

•

additions and departures of key personnel;

•

failure to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq or the TASE;

•

failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;

•

future issuances, sales or resales, or anticipated issuances, sales or resales, of New Parent Common Stock;

•

publication of research reports about New Parent, its sites, or the convenience store industry generally;

•

the performance and market valuations of other similar companies;

•

broad disruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;

•

speculation in the press or investment community;

•

actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems; and

•

changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines.

In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their shares. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert New Parent’s management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on New Parent.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or cease publishing research about New Parent or the convenience store industry, New Parent’s share price and trading volume could decline significantly.

The market for New Parent Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about New Parent, its business or its industry. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on New Parent. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of New Parent, the market price and liquidity for New Parent Common Stock could be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover New Parent downgrade their opinions about New Parent Common Stock, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about New Parent, or cease publishing about New Parent regularly, demand for New Parent Common Stock could decrease, which might cause its share price and trading volume to decline significantly. Additionally, if securities or industry analysts publish negative information regarding the industry generally or certain competitors of New Parent, this may affect the market price of all stocks in New Parent’s sector, even if unrelated to the performance of New Parent.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated the New Parent Warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the New Parent Warrants is $11.50 per shares of New Parent Common Stock. The New Parent Warrants may never be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Future issuances of debt securities and/or equity securities may adversely affect New Parent, including the market price of New Parent Common Stock, and may be dilutive to existing New Parent shareholders.

In the future, New Parent may incur debt and/or issue equity ranking senior to the New Parent Common Stock. Those securities will generally have priority upon liquidation. Such securities also may be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting New Parent’s operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that New Parent issues in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the New Parent Common Stock. Because New Parent’s decision to issue debt and/or equity in the future will depend, in part, on market conditions and other factors beyond New Parent’s control, it cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of New Parent’s future capital raising efforts. As a result, future capital raising efforts may reduce the market price of New Parent Common Stock and be dilutive to existing New Parent stockholders.

Certain provisions in New Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation may limit stockholders’ ability to affect a change in management or control.

New Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation include certain provisions which may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future takeover or change in control of New Parent that stockholders may

consider to be in their best interests. Among other things, New Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of directors serving staggered terms of three years. New Parent’s equity plans and its officers’ employment agreements provide certain rights to plan participants and those officers, respectively, in the event of a change in control of New Parent. For more information, see “Description of Arko Corp.’s Securities.”

In the foreseeable future, New Parent plans to reinvest all of its earnings and does not plan to pay dividends.

In the foreseeable future, New Parent plans to reinvest all of its earnings in order to pursue its business plan, cover operating costs and otherwise remain competitive. New Parent does not plan to pay any cash dividends with respect to its securities in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that New Parent will, at any time, generate sufficient surplus cash that would be available for distribution to the holders of its common stock as a dividend. Therefore, investors in New Parent should not expect to receive cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, any potential future dividends paid by GPM will partially flow through an Israeli company to New Parent. As a result, the potential future dividends flowing through an Israeli company may be subject to Israeli tax liabilities, including withholding tax liabilities, thus reducing the earnings of New Parent available to pay cash dividends.

There can be no assurance that New Parent’s common stock will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or that New Parent will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, we intend to list New Parent’s common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “ARKO” and “ARKOW,” respectively. New Parent’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of our shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists New Parent’s shares and/or warrants from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, the combined company and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

•

a limited availability of market quotations for the New Parent’s securities;

•

a determination that the New Parent’s common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the New Parent’s common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of the New Parent’s common stock;

•

a limited amount of analyst coverage; and

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

While the New Parent Common Stock is expected to be listed on the TASE, there is no guarantee as to how long such listing will be maintained.

While New Parent expects to list the Parent Common Stock on the TASE pursuant to Chapter E’3 of the ISL, New Parent shall have the exclusive right to delist its securities from the TASE, provided it furnishes notice thereof three months in advance of such delisting. If the Parent Common Stock is delisted as aforesaid, some holders of New Parent Common Stock that is traded on the TASE may be required or will choose to sell their stock, which could result in a decline in the market price of the Parent Common Stock and could have a material adverse effect on the combined company. Furthermore, uncertainty as to how long the Parent Common Stock will be listed on the TASE might impact the likelihood of obtaining Arko’s shareholder approval of the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Haymaker

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Haymaker.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, New Parent may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, or New Parent may be subject to restructuring, impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on New Parent’s financial condition, results of operations and the price of Haymaker common stock, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Haymaker has conducted due diligence on Arko, this diligence may not surface all material issues that may be present with Arko’s business. Factors outside of Arko’s and outside of Haymaker’s control may, at any time, arise. As a result of these factors, New Parent may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in New Parent reporting losses. Even if Haymaker’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise, and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and therefore not have an immediate impact on New Parent’s liquidity, the fact that New Parent reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Parent or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New Parent to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

The Sponsor and Haymaker’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other Haymaker stockholders in recommending that Haymaker stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other Proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

When considering the recommendation of Haymaker’s board of directors that Haymaker stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, Haymaker stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, to the extent that such persons own Haymaker common stock, the Sponsor and Haymaker’s officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other Haymaker stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things:

•

the beneficial ownership of the Sponsor and certain of Haymaker’s directors and officers (the “Haymaker Initial Stockholders”) of an aggregate of 10,000,000 Founder Shares and 5,550,000 Private Placement Warrants, which shares and warrants would become worthless if Haymaker does not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, as the Haymaker Initial Stockholders have waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. Such shares and warrants have an aggregate market value of approximately $ million and $ million, respectively, based on the closing price of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Haymaker Warrants of $ and $ , respectively, on Nasdaq on , 2020, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders;

•

the fact that the Sponsor will forfeit a portion of its Haymaker Private Placement Warrants and will receive deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock;

•

the continued indemnification of Haymaker’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of Haymaker’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;

•

These interests may influence Haymaker’s directors in making their recommendation that Haymaker stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor holds a significant number of shares of Haymaker common stock and will lose its entire investment in Haymaker if a Business Combination is not completed.

The Sponsor currently holds 10,000,000 Founder Shares, representing 20% of the total outstanding shares of Haymaker common stock prior to the completion of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be worthless if Haymaker does not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021. In addition, the Sponsor holds an aggregate of 5,550,000 Private Placement Warrants that will also be worthless if Haymaker does not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021.

The personal and financial interests of Haymaker’s officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Arko and GPM, completing a business combination with such entities and may influence their operation of New Parent following the Business Combination.

Because the Sponsor and Haymaker’s executive officers and directors will not be eligible to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses, to the extent such expenses exceed the amount not required to be retained in the Trust Account, if a Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for a business combination.

At the closing of Haymaker’s initial business combination, the Sponsor and Haymaker’s executive officers and directors, and any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Haymaker’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Haymaker’s behalf. These financial interests of the Sponsor and Haymaker’s executive officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination and completing the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Haymaker’s securities or, following the Closing, New Parent’s securities, may decline.

If the perceived benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Haymaker’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of New Parent’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from the market values of Haymaker securities on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which Haymaker’s stockholders vote on the Business Combination.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New Parent’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, Arko Ordinary Shares were publicly traded on the TASE. Therefore, there has not been a public market in the U.S. for the Arko Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Arko may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for New Parent’s securities develops and continues, the trading price of New Parent’s securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond New Parent’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in New Parent’s securities and New Parent’s securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of New Parent’s securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of New Parent’s securities may include:

•

actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Parent’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

•

changes in the market’s expectations about New Parent’s operating results;

•

success of competitors;

•

New Parent’s operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•

changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Parent or the industry in which it operates;

•

operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New Parent;

•

New Parent’s ability to market new and enhanced products and services on a timely basis;

•

New Parent’s ability to make acquisitions;

•

New Parent’s ability to remodel its convenience stores;

•

changes in laws and regulations affecting New Parent’s business;

•

New Parent’s ability to meet compliance requirements;

•

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Parent;

•

changes in New Parent’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•

the volume of New Parent’s shares of common stock available for public sale;

•

any major change in New Parent’s board of directors or management;

•

sales of substantial amounts of New Parent’s shares of common stock by New Parent’s directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

•

general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of New Parent’s securities irrespective of New Parent’s operating performance. The stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of New Parent’s securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Parent could depress the market price of New Parent’s securities regardless of New Parent’s business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of New Parent’s securities also could adversely affect New Parent’s ability to issue additional securities and New Parent’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Unlike many blank check companies, Haymaker does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it easier for Haymaker to consummate the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of Haymaker’s stockholders do not agree.

Because Haymaker has no specified percentage threshold for redemption contained in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, its structure is different in this respect from the structure used by many blank check companies. Historically, blank check companies would not be able to consummate an initial business combination if the holders of such company’s public shares voted against a proposed business combination and elected to redeem more than a specified maximum percentage of the shares sold in such company’s initial public offering, which percentage threshold was typically between 19.99% and 39.99%. As a result, many blank check companies were unable to complete a business combination because the amount of shares voted by their public stockholders electing redemption exceeded the maximum redemption threshold pursuant to which such company could proceed with its initial business combination. As a result, Haymaker may be able to consummate the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of the Public Stockholders do not agree with the Business Combination and have redeemed their shares. However, in no event will Haymaker redeem Haymaker Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon the consummation of the Business Combination. If enough Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights such that Haymaker cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement, Haymaker would not proceed with the redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and the Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate business combination.

Haymaker is not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or from an independent accounting firm, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the price Haymaker is paying for the business is fair to Haymaker from a financial point of view.

Haymaker is not required to, and did not, obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA, or from an independent accounting firm, that the price Haymaker is paying under the

Business Combination Agreement is fair to Haymaker from a financial point of view. Haymaker’s public stockholders are therefore relying on the judgment of Haymaker’s board of directors, who determined fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community. The Sponsor and Haymaker’s executive officers and directors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other Haymaker stockholders generally. Haymaker’s board of directors was aware of and considered those interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and in recommending to Haymaker stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for more information.

Haymaker may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after the consummation of the Business Combination, which could delay the opportunity for its stockholders to elect directors.

In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, Haymaker is not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after its first fiscal year end following its listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, Haymaker is, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with Haymaker’s bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting. Haymaker may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and thus it may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual meeting. Therefore, if Haymaker stockholders want it to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, they may attempt to force Haymaker to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the DGCL.

The Sponsor may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.

The Sponsor currently owns shares representing 20% of Haymaker’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, it may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support, including amendments to Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and approval of major corporate transactions. If the Sponsor purchases any additional securities in an open-market transaction or in privately negotiated transactions, this would increase its control. In addition, Haymaker’s board of directors, whose members were elected by the Sponsor, the initial stockholder of Haymaker, is divided into three classes, each of which generally serves for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. Haymaker may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the completion of the Business Combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office until at least the completion of the business combination. If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of Haymaker’s “staggered” board of directors, only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election and the Sponsor, because of its ownership position, will have considerable influence regarding the outcome. Accordingly, the Sponsor will continue to exert a substantial influence at least until the completion of the Business Combination.

The Sponsor and Haymaker’s directors, executive officers, advisors, and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders or take other actions, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of Haymaker Class A Common Stock.

The Sponsor and Haymaker’s directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account either prior to or following the Closing, although they are under no obligation to do so. None of the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their respective affiliates, will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M of the Exchange Act. It is not currently anticipated

that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement or take other actions that such stockholder, although still the record holder of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, directors, officers or advisors, or their affiliates, purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of these purchases would be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination, satisfy a closing condition of the Business Combination Agreement that requires Haymaker to have a minimum net worth or a minimum amount of cash at closing of the Business Combination, where it appears such requirement would not otherwise be met, or to increase the amount of cash available to Haymaker for use in the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances to liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your Haymaker Class A Common Stock potentially at a loss.

Haymaker’s public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock that such stockholder properly elects to redeem, subject to the limitations described in this proxy statement/prospectus; (ii) the redemption of public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to amend any provisions of Haymaker’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock if we do not complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021; and (iii) the redemption of public shares if Haymaker is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a public stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, potentially at a loss.

Haymaker may not be able to complete its initial Business Combination by June 11, 2021, in which case Haymaker would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and Haymaker would redeem its public shares and liquidate, in which case Public Stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and Haymaker’s existing warrants will expire worthless.

Haymaker must complete its initial business combination by June 11, 2021. Haymaker’s ability to complete its initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt marketer, and other risks described herein. If Haymaker has not completed its initial business combination by such date, it will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Haymaker Class A Common Stock, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to Haymaker to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as

reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and Haymaker’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, Public Stockholders may only receive $10.00 per shares of Class A Common Stock, and the Haymaker’s existing warrants will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, Haymaker’s public stockholders may receive less than $10.00 per share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock on the redemption of their shares.

If the Business Combination is not completed, potential target businesses may have leverage over Haymaker in negotiating a Business Combination and Haymaker’s ability to conduct due diligence on a Business Combination as it approaches its dissolution deadline may decrease, which could undermine Haymaker’s ability to complete a Business Combination on terms that would produce value for Haymaker’s stockholders.

Any potential target business with which Haymaker enters into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware that Haymaker must complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021. Consequently, if Haymaker is unable to complete this Business Combination, a potential target may obtain leverage over Haymaker in negotiating a business combination, knowing that Haymaker may be unable to complete a business combination with another target business by June 11, 2021. This risk will increase as Haymaker gets closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, Haymaker may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into a business combination on terms that Haymaker would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.

Because of Haymaker’s limited resources and the significant competition for Business Combination opportunities, if this Business Combination is not completed, it may be more difficult for Haymaker to complete an Initial Business Combination. In addition, resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not completed, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If Haymaker is unable to complete an initial Business Combination by June 11, 2021, Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, on the liquidation of the Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances), and the Haymaker Warrants will expire worthless.

If Haymaker is unable to complete the Business Combination, Haymaker would expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to its business objective, including private investors (which may be individuals or investment partnerships), other blank check companies and other entities, domestic and international, competing for the types of businesses Haymaker could acquire. Many of these individuals and entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting, directly or indirectly, acquisitions of companies operating in or providing services to various industries. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources or more local industry knowledge than Haymaker does, and Haymaker’s financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While Haymaker believes there are numerous target businesses Haymaker could potentially acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, Haymaker’s ability to compete with respect to the acquisition of certain target businesses that are sizable will be limited by Haymaker’s available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation may give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, if Haymaker is obligated to pay cash for shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock being redeemed and/or makes purchases of its public shares, the resources available to Haymaker for a business combination will be reduced. Any of these obligations may place Haymaker at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination.

Haymaker anticipates that, if Haymaker is unable to complete this Business Combination, the investigation of other specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If Haymaker decides not to complete a specific business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if Haymaker

reaches an agreement relating to a specific target business, Haymaker may fail to complete such business combination (including the Business Combination described in this proxy statement/prospectus) for any number of reasons including those beyond Haymaker’s control. Any such event will result in a loss to Haymaker of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.

If Haymaker does not complete this Business Combination and is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, Haymaker’s public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances) and Haymaker Warrants will expire worthless.

The Exercise of Discretion by Haymaker’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in, the Business Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of the Public Stockholders of Haymaker.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Haymaker to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that Haymaker is entitled to under those agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Arko and GPM’s business, a request by the Arko shareholders or Arko to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Arko and GPM’s business and would entitle Haymaker to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be in the discretion of Haymaker, acting through Haymaker’s board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of Haymaker’s directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he may believe is best for Haymaker and the public stockholders of Haymaker and what he may believe is best for himself or his affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Haymaker does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Haymaker’s directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on the stockholders, Haymaker may be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of the Haymaker public stockholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

If third parties bring claims against Haymaker, the Proceeds Held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

Haymaker’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against Haymaker. Although Haymaker will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than Haymaker’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Haymaker does business execute agreements with Haymaker waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any funds held in the Trust Account for the benefit of Haymaker’s public stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against Haymaker’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third-party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the funds held in the Trust Account, Haymaker’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third-party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to Haymaker than any alternative. Marcum LLP, our independent registered public

accounting firm, will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

Examples of possible instances where Haymaker may engage a third-party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Haymaker and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, if Haymaker is unable to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, Haymaker will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Haymaker within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by Haymaker’s public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Haymaker if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Haymaker, or a prospective target business with which Haymaker has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third-party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Haymaker’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Haymaker IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Haymaker has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Haymaker. The Sponsor may not have sufficient funds available to satisfy those obligations. Haymaker has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such eventuality, and therefore, no funds are currently set aside to cover any such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for a business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, Haymaker may not be able to complete a business combination, and Haymaker stockholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of public shares. None of Haymaker’s officers or directors will indemnify Haymaker for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Haymaker’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Public Stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per share or (ii) such lesser amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Haymaker’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Haymaker currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Haymaker, it is possible that Haymaker’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Haymaker’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to Haymaker’s public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Public Stockholders, Haymaker files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Haymaker that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of Haymaker’s stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Haymaker’s stockholders in connection with haymaker’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Haymaker public stockholders, Haymaker files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Haymaker that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Haymaker’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Haymaker’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Haymaker’s stockholders in connection with its liquidation may be reduced.

Haymaker’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Haymaker to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to Haymaker’s public stockholders upon the redemption of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock in the event Haymaker does not complete its initial business combination by June 11, 2021, may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is Haymaker’s intention to redeem shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock as soon as reasonably possible following June 11, 2021, in the event Haymaker does not complete its business combination and, therefore, Haymaker does not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because Haymaker will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Haymaker to adopt a plan, based on facts known to Haymaker at such time that will provide for its payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against it within the 10 years following Haymaker’s dissolution. However, because Haymaker is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from Haymaker’s vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers and auditors) or prospective target businesses. If Haymaker’s plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Haymaker cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against Haymaker. As such, Haymaker’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Haymaker’s stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to Haymaker’s public stockholders upon the redemption of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock in the event Haymaker does not complete its initial business combination by June 11, 2021, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

If, after Haymaker distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Stockholders, Haymaker files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Haymaker That is Not Dismissed, a Bankruptcy Court May Seek to Recover Such Proceeds, and the Members of Haymaker’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Haymaker’s creditors, thereby exposing the members of Haymaker’s board of directors and Haymaker to claims of punitive damages.

If, after Haymaker distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its public stockholders, Haymaker files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Haymaker that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Haymaker’s stockholders. In addition, Haymaker’s board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Haymaker’s creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and Haymaker to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

Haymaker stockholders may have limited remedies if their shares suffer a reduction in value following the Business Combination.

Any Haymaker stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following a business combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by Haymaker’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the proxy statement relating to a business combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

Risks Related to the Redemption

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Haymaker common stock issued in the IPO, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Haymaker common stock issued in the IPO.

A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock included in the units sold in the IPO. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, Haymaker will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to Haymaker whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to share ownership available to Haymaker at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which Haymaker makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over Haymaker’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in Haymaker if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if Haymaker consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the shares sold in the IPO and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. There is no assurance that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of Haymaker Class A Common Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge Haymaker’s determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, Haymaker’s stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

A stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account may not put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

The price at which a Haymaker stockholder may be able to sell its public shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination may not be favorable. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in the stock price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of Haymaker might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Stockholders of Haymaker who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption, which may make it difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Haymaker Class A Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

Haymaker public stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must, among other things (i) submit a request in writing and (ii) tender their certificates to the Transfer Agent or deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically through the DWAC system at least two business days prior to the special meeting of stockholders. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and the Transfer Agent will need to act to facilitate this request. Stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, because Haymaker does not have any control over this process or over the brokers, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account less franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “The Special Meeting of Haymaker Stockholders—Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a Public Stockholder fails to receive notice of Haymaker’s offer to redeem its public shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

Haymaker will comply with the proxy rules when conducting redemptions in connection with the Business Combination. Despite Haymaker’s compliance with these rules, if a public stockholder fails to receive Haymaker’s proxy materials, such stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, the proxy materials, as applicable, that Haymaker will furnish to holders of its public shares in connection with the Business Combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem public shares. In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Haymaker and Arko as adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related financing transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 assumes that the Business Combination and the related proposed financing transactions were completed on June 30, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination and the related proposed financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2019.

The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with, the following included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus:

•

Haymaker’s unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

•

Arko’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

•

Haymaker’s audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019.

•

Arko’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019.

•

Haymaker’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

•

Arko’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Certain direct and incremental costs related to the Business Combination will be recorded as a reduction against additional-paid-in-capital, consistent with the accounting for reverse recapitalizations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions are based on certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the dates of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and may be revised as additional information becomes available. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material.

Based on its business activities, Haymaker is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

Arko Holdings, Ltd.

Arko Holdings, Ltd. (“Arko”) is a public company incorporated in Israel, whose securities are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd., that its main activity is holding, through fully owned and

controlled subsidiaries, of controlling rights in GPM Investments, LLC. Arie Kotler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Arko, has an approximately 33% ownership stake in Arko, with the remaining shares owned by Morris Willner (approximately 31%) and other public Arko shareholders (approximately 36%).

GPM Investments, LLC

GPM Investments, LLC (“GPM”) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 12, 2002 and is engaged directly and through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries (directly or indirectly) in retail activity which includes the operations of a chain of convenience stores, most of which include adjacent gas stations, and in wholesale activity which includes the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third parties.

Currently, Arko owns approximately 68% of GPM and the remaining approximately 32% is held by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, Harvest Partners SCF, L.P and Ares Capital Corporation and certain funds managed or controlled by Ares Capital Management (together “GPM Minority Investors”).

Description of the Business Combination

Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Arko entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which Arko and Haymaker will become wholly owned subsidiaries of New Parent. The consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement to the shareholders of Arko consists of up to $717,273,400 in a combination of cash and shares of New Parent (as further explained below) and the stockholders and warrantholders of Haymaker will receive shares and warrants of New Parent. On the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Haymaker, with Haymaker surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (ii) Merger Sub II will merge with and into Arko, with Arko surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent.

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, New Parent, Haymaker, and the GPM Minority Investors entered into the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G. The GPM Equity Purchase Agreement will result in New Parent purchasing from the GPM Minority Investors, directly or indirectly, all of their (a) membership interests in GPM, (b) warrants, options or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire securities of GPM, equity appreciation rights or profits interests relating to GPM, and (c) obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities or interests, but only to the extent convertible or exchange into securities described in clauses (a) or (b) including its membership interests (the “Equity Securities”). In exchange for such Equity Securities, the GPM Minority Investors will receive shares of New Parent Common Stock and the warrants of GPM held by Ares shall be exchanged for the New Ares Warrants.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Haymaker, New Parent and its wholly-owned subsidiaries will collectively be treated as the “acquired” company and Arko will be considered the accounting acquiror for accounting purposes. The Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Arko issuing stock for the net assets of Haymaker, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Arko and Haymaker will be stated at historical cost. No goodwill or intangible assets will be recorded in connection with the Business Combination.

Arko has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on an evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both no and maximum redemption scenarios:

•

Arko’s and GPM’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Parent with Arko’s current CEO being the Chairman and CEO of New Parent;

•

Sellers will collectively have the greatest voting interest in New Parent under the no and maximum redemption scenarios;

•

New Parent’s board of directors will initially consist of seven directors, four of which will be designated by Arko, two designated by Haymaker, and one which will be mutually agreed upon by Arko and Haymaker.

•

Arko and its consolidated subsidiaries will comprise the ongoing operations of New Parent;

•

Arko is larger in relative size than Haymaker;

•

New Parent’s headquarters will be that of GPM, a controlled subsidiary of Arko consisting of a majority of Arko’s operations.

As consideration for the Business Combination, the Arko shareholders will receive up to $717.3 million in a combination of New Parent Common Stock and cash (and will be given an option of three separate payout methods as detailed below) and the GPM Minority Investors will receive $337.7 million in New Parent Common Stock for a total purchase consideration of $1.055 billion (“Gross Consideration Value”). The consideration election shall be made no later than the closing date of the Business Combination.

Option A (Stock Consideration): The number of shares validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) such holder’s Consideration Value divided by (ii) $10.00 (“Maximum Share Option”).

Arie Kotler and Morris Willner have executed Voting Support Agreements pursuant to which each has agreed, among other things, to elect only either Option A or Option B as described above; The GPM Minority Investors will receive their entire portion of consideration in shares of New Parent Common Stock.

Option A would result in 71.7 million shares issued to Arko shareholders. Option B and Option C have a Maximum Cash Consideration equal to approximately $100.0 million and would result in 60.0 million shares issued to Arko shareholders after considering the Voting Support Agreements signed by Arie Kotler and Morris Willner.

Arko and the Sponsor have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which Sponsor has agreed, among other things, that, at the closing of the Business Combination, Sponsor’s 10.0 million shares of Haymaker’s Class B common stock will be converted into 6.0 million shares of New Parent Common Stock (1.0 million of such shares shall be forfeited) and 4.0 million deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock which shall be issuable contingent upon New Parent’s share price exceeding certain thresholds (collectively “Sponsor Promote Shares”). Sponsor also agreed to forfeit 2.0 million New Parent Warrants.

As part of the GPM Minority Investor acquisition, Ares has a right to require New Parent to purchase the shares of New Parent Common Stock received by Ares pursuant to the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Ares Shares”) at a price (the “Put Price”) of $12.935 per share (as adjusted pursuant to the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement). New Parent will have the option to either purchase the Ares Shares for cash, or in lieu of

such purchase, New Parent may issue additional shares of New Parent Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) to Ares in an amount sufficient so that the value of the Ares Shares and the Additional Shares, and any dividends, distributions, or other payments received in respect of the Ares Shares or Ares’ membership interest in GPM collectively equal $27,294,053. This price protection is a form of contingent consideration and will be accounted for under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification 815 (“ASC 815”), Derivatives and Hedging, in accordance with US GAAP.

Because the Arko Shareholders may elect their payout option as described above, actual consideration may vary from the amounts described above. The consideration tables below reflect the aggregate consideration assuming the Maximum Cash Option and the Maximum Share Option, excluding the contingent consideration applicable to the Ares GPM Minority Investor (in thousands):

Maximum Share Consideration

Equity issuance to GPM Minority Investors		337,727		337,727

Total Consideration	$	1,037,345	$	1,037,345

Haymaker has no specified maximum redemption threshold; however, the consummation of the business combination is conditioned upon, among other things, availability of at least $275.0 million of cash in the Haymaker trust account, after giving effect to redemptions, other Haymaker cash held outside of the trust and any subscription financings. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemptions:

•

Assuming No Redemption – This presentation assumes that no current Haymaker public shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares for a pro rata portion of funds in Haymaker’s trust account at the close of the Business Combination.

•

Assuming Maximum Redemption – This presentation gives effect to Haymaker public shareholders redeeming approximately 12.9 million shares for aggregate redemption payments of $130.5 million. Aggregate redemption payments of $130.5 million calculated as the different between (i) $405.0 million available trust cash and $0.5 million of funds held outside the trust and (ii) $275.0 million required available minimum trust cash. The number of public redemption shares of approximately 12.9 million shares was calculated based on the estimated per share redemption value of $10.13 ($405.0 million in trust account divided by 40.0 million outstanding Haymaker public shares).

The following summarizes the pro forma common shares outstanding for the Maximum Share Option and Maximum Cash Option under the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios (in thousands):

Note 1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combination, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and related transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of New Parent. They should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Haymaker and Arko.

There were no significant intercompany balances or transactions between Haymaker and Arko as of the date and for the period of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

New Parent has executed a new employment agreement with the Arie Kotler, Chairman and CEO subsequent to the close of the Business Combination. The executed employment agreement does not result in a pro forma adjustment as the salary remains the same and the other incentives are contingent upon future performance and other contingencies and are therefore, not factually supportable.

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had Haymaker and Arko filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of Haymaker’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2019.

Note 2. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

Reflects the reclassification of $405.0 million of cash and cash equivalents held in Haymaker’s trust account that becomes available for transaction consideration, transaction expenses, redemption of public shares and the operating activities following the Business Combination assuming no redemptions.

Represents the reclassification of $385.5 million of common stock subject to possible redemption to permanent equity assuming no redemptions.

Reflects the elimination of $4.1 million of Haymaker’s historical retained earnings.

Reflects the conversion of $0.5 thousand of par value of Haymaker Class B common stock to the par account for Class A common stock with $0.4 thousand deferred and $0.1 thousand being forfeited.

Reflects the payment of Haymaker and Arko transaction costs of $41.9 million under the no redemption scenario and $39.5 million under the maximum redemption scenario, expected to be incurred related to the closing of the Business Combination. Of that amount, $14.6 million relates to the cash settlement of deferred underwriting compensation incurred as part of Haymaker’s IPO to be paid upon the consummation of the Business Combination, while the remaining $0.4 million has been written off as an offset to Additional Paid in Capital. The remaining transaction costs include direct and incremental costs, such as legal, accounting, third party advisory, investment banking, and other miscellaneous fees. Certain advisory fees are variable based on the amount of closing cash within the trust account as well as trading activity creating a difference in fees under a no and maximum redemption scenario.

Reflects the payment of approximately $100.0 million of cash consideration paid to Arko Shareholders under the Maximum Cash Option in connection with the Business Combination. Under the Maximum Share Option, no cash will be paid.

Reflects the issuance of 93.7 million shares as consideration to Arko Shareholders and GPM Minority Investors under the Maximum Cash Option and 105.5 million shares under the Maximum Share Option scenario at $0.0001 par value as consideration for the Business Combination.

Reflects the recapitalization of Arko, including the reclassification of members’ equity to Additional Paid in Capital.

Reflects the recapitalization of Arko non-controlling interests, resulting in the reclassification of certain non-controlling interests to common stock and Additional Paid in Capital.

Reflects the bifurcation of an embedded derivative recorded for the Ares Put Option resulting from the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement. The embedded derivative has been evaluated under ASC 815 and has been determined to not be clearly and closely related to the host instrument as the embedded derivative (a put option) is determined to be debt like and the host instrument (Class A equity shares of New Parent is an equity instrument). Under ASC 815, the bifurcated derivative has been recorded at its fair value of $8.3 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation assuming the transaction closed on June 30, 2020 and leveraged the closing share price as of that date.

Reflects the settlement of convertible debentures which were converted to shares of Arko common stock just prior to the Business Combination.

Reflects a distribution to Arko shareholders for cash and intercompany receivables in excess of third-party debt retained on the historical books and records.

The additional pro forma adjustments assuming maximum redemptions:

Reflects $130.5 million withdrawal of funds from the trust account to fund the redemption of 12.9 million shares of Haymaker common stock at approximately $10.13 per share as well as the corresponding decrease to common shares and Additional Paid in Capital.

Note 3. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows:

Represents the elimination of $2.0 million of interest income on Haymaker’s trust account for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as other miscellaneous gains and losses on securities held within the trust.

Reflects the elimination of compensation expense related to Arko’s restricted share units.

Reflects the acquisition of the GPM Minority Investors’ interest in GPM whereby income attributable to those non-controlling interests will be reflected in controlling interests as well as the other statement of operations adjustments within Note 3 which are attributable to controlling interests.

Reflects the income tax impact of the adjustments in Note 3(a) through 3(c) at the blended statutory tax rate of 25.5%.

Note 4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Pro Forma Weighted Average Shares (Basic and Diluted)

The following pro forma weighted average shares calculations have been performed for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma income (loss) per share (“EPS”), basic and diluted, are computed by dividing income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and taking into consideration the potentially dilutive effect of options, warrants, and other financial instruments.

Prior to the Business Combination, Haymaker had two classes of shares: Class A shares and Class B shares. The 10.0 million shares of Class B shares are held by the Founders. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, 5.0 million shares will be forfeited, 4 million shares will be deferred and the remaining 5 million shares will automatically convert on a one-for-one basis, into shares of Haymaker Class A common stock. Immediately thereafter, each currently issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock will automatically convert one-for-one basis, into shares of New Parent.

Haymaker has 13.3 million outstanding public warrants issued in connection with the redeemable public Class A common stock during the initial public offering and 6.0 million warrants issued in a private placement to purchase a total of 19.3 million shares of common stock. In connection with the Business Combination, 2.0 million warrants will be forfeited for a total of 17.3 million New Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 13.3 million New Parent warrants or 4.0 New Parent Private Placement Warrants. The warrants are exercisable at $11.50 per share amounts which exceeds the current market price of Haymaker’s Class A common stock. These warrants are considered antidilutive and excluded from the earnings per share calculation when the exercise price exceeds the average market value of the common stock price during the applicable period.

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, existing warrants provided to Ares will be exchanged for new Ares warrants issued by New Parent to purchase 1.1 million shares of New Parent Common Stock for an exercise price of $10 per share, with an exercise period of 5 years from the closing of the Business Combination. These shares are considered “in the money” and have been included in our consideration of diluted EPS as reflected below.

Following the closing of the Business Combination, 4.0 million shares of New Parent’s deferred common stock are issuable to the Sponsor contingent upon the closing sale price of New Parent’s common stock exceeding certain thresholds within the first five to seven years following the closing of the Business Combination. Because these shares are contingently issuable based upon the share price of New Parent reaching specified thresholds that are not currently met, these contingent shares have been excluded from basic and diluted pro forma EPS.

As discussed in Note 2(j), the Ares Put Option resulting from the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement allows for the potential issuance of conditional shares. The contingent shares will expire if the share price of New Parent’s common stock reaches $12.935 per share (as adjusted pursuant to the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement) on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, subject to the other conditions set forth in the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement. The current stock price has not yet been met, and therefore, the contingently issuable shares exist as of the pro forma balance sheet date. These contingently issuable shares have been considered in the calculation of diluted EPS as shown below.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF HAYMAKER STOCKHOLDERS

The Haymaker Special Meeting

Haymaker is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to you as part of the solicitation of proxies by its board of directors for use at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on , 2020, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to Haymaker’s stockholders on or about , 2020. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting of stockholders.

Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting

The special meeting of stockholders of Haymaker will be held at a.m., Eastern time, on , 2020, virtually at https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, for the purpose of considering and voting upon the proposals. You will not be able to attend the special meeting of stockholders physically.

In light of the ongoing health concerns relating to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and to best protect the health and welfare of Haymaker’s stockholders and personnel, the special meeting will be held in virtual meeting format only. Stockholders are nevertheless urged to vote their proxies by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the Haymaker special meeting of stockholders, Haymaker will ask the Haymaker stockholders to vote in favor of the following proposals:

•

The Business Combination Proposal—a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination.

•

The Lock-Up Agreement Proposal—a proposal to ratify the entry into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement with Sponsor and the directors and officers of Haymaker.

•

Recommendation of the Haymaker Board of Directors

Haymaker’s board of directors believes that each of the proposals to be presented at the special meeting of stockholders is in the best interests of Haymaker and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

When you consider the recommendation of Haymaker’s board of directors in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that certain of Haymaker’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•

complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, as the Haymaker Initial Stockholders have waived any right to redemption with respect to these shares. Such shares and warrants have an aggregate market value of approximately $ million and $ million, respectively, based on the closing price of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Haymaker Warrants of $ and $ , respectively, on Nasdaq on , 2020, the record date for the special meeting of stockholders;

•

the fact that the Sponsor will forfeit a portion of its Haymaker Private Placement Warrants and will receive deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock;

•

the continued indemnification of Haymaker’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of Haymaker’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;

•

Record Date and Voting

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting of stockholders if you owned shares of Haymaker common stock at the close of business on , 2020, which is the record date for the special meeting of stockholders. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Haymaker common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 50,000,000 shares of Haymaker common stock outstanding, of which 40,000,000 are shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and 10,000,000 are Founder Shares held by Haymaker Initial Stockholders.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Founder Shares and any Haymaker Class A Common Stock acquired by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The issued and outstanding Haymaker Warrants do not have voting rights at the special meeting of stockholders.

Voting Your Shares

Haymaker stockholders may vote electronically at the special meeting of stockholders by visiting https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020 or by proxy. Haymaker recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the special meeting of stockholders. If you vote by proxy, you may change your vote by submitting a later dated proxy before the deadline or by voting electronically at the special meeting of stockholders.

If your shares of common stock are owned directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock & Transfer Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a “non-record (beneficial) stockholder.”

If you are a Haymaker stockholder of record you may use the enclosed proxy card to tell the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all shares at the meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not mark your card to tell the proxies how to vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” each of the proposals presented at the special meeting of stockholders.

Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum if you vote:

•

by submitting a properly executed proxy card or voting instruction by mail; or

•

electronically at the special meeting of stockholders.

Each share of Haymaker common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the special meeting of stockholders. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of Haymaker common stock that you own.

Abstentions will be counted for determining whether a quorum is present for the special meeting of stockholders.

Voting instructions are printed on the proxy card or voting information form you received. Either method of submitting a proxy will enable your shares to be represented and voted at the special meeting of stockholders.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of Haymaker common stock, you may contact our proxy solicitor at:

Morrow Sodali LLC

470 West Avenue

Stamford, CT 06902

Telephone: (800) 662-5200

Banks and brokers can call collect at: (203) 658-9400

Email: HYAC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com

Quorum and Vote Required for the Proposals

A quorum of Haymaker’s stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist at the special meeting of stockholders with respect to each matter to be considered at the special meeting of stockholders if the holders of a majority of Haymaker common stock are present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the special meeting of stockholders. All shares represented by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote (in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of all then outstanding shares of Haymaker common stock entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting. Accordingly, a Haymaker stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting of stockholders, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against these proposals.

The approval of the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal and Stockholder Adjournment Proposal require the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of the shares of Haymaker common stock that are voted at the special meeting of stockholders. Accordingly, a Haymaker stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) at the special meeting of stockholders, an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on these proposals.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Broker non-votes are not considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will (i) be counted as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal, but (ii) have no effect on the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum and will (i) be counted as a vote “AGAINST” the Business Combination Proposal, but (ii) have no effect on the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal and the Stockholder Adjournment Proposal.

In general, if your shares are held in “street” name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any non-routine matters. None of the proposals at the special meeting of stockholders are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the special meeting of stockholders.

Revocability of Proxies

If you are a Haymaker stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the special meeting of stockholders by:

•

timely delivering a written revocation letter to the secretary of Haymaker;

100

•

signing and returning by mail a proxy card with a later date so that it is received prior to the special meeting of stockholders; or

•

attending the special meeting of stockholders and voting electronically by visiting https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/HYAC2020 and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Attendance at the special meeting of stockholders will not, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a non-record (beneficial) Haymaker stockholder, you should follow the instructions of your bank, broker or other nominee regarding the revocation of proxies.

Redemption Rights

We are providing stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest but net of taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, subject to the limitations described herein. All of the holders of Founder Shares, including the Sponsor, have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares or any shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by them.

We will consummate the Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of Haymaker common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. However, the participation of the Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates in open market or privately-negotiated transactions (as described in this proxy statement/prospectus), if any, could result in the approval of the Business Combination even if a majority of the remaining stockholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against the Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote the Founder Shares and any shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock whether they vote for or against the Business Combination.

Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if we are unable to complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, or obtain the approval of Haymaker stockholders to extend the deadline for us to consummate an initial business combination, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, at a per share price which is payable in cash and equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable by us and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and our executive officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to (1) waive their redemption rights with respect to any common stock held by them in connection with the completion of our initial business combination or any amendment to the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation relating to our pre-initial business combination activity and related stockholders’ rights and (2) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete a business combination within the prescribed timeframe (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock they hold).

A Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be

101

restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the IPO, which we refer to as the “Excess Shares.” However, our stockholders are permitted to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination. Our stockholders’ inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability to complete the Business Combination, and such stockholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell such Excess Shares on the open market. Additionally, such stockholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete the Business Combination. And, as a result, such stockholders will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares would be required to sell their stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of New Parent after the Business Combination, our stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that we will provide our stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable by us), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, subject to the limitations described herein.

If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of the IPO as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, net of any taxes payable, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $405.0 million on June 30, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.13.

Redemption rights are not available to holders of Haymaker Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, prior to 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, on , 2020 (two business days before the special meeting), both:

•

Submit a request in writing that Haymaker redeem your Haymaker Class A Common Stock for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Haymaker’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

One State Street Plaza, 30^th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attention: Mark Zimkind

E-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

•

Deliver your Haymaker Class A Common Stock either physically or electronically through DTC to Haymaker’s transfer agent. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. It is Haymaker’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least one week to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, Haymaker does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than one week. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Haymaker Class A Common Stock as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

102

Each redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock by the Public Stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. In no event, however, will Haymaker redeem Haymaker Class A Common Stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon completion of the Business Combination.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of their Haymaker Class A Common Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Haymaker Class A Common Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Haymaker cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Haymaker Class A Common Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less taxes payable. You will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption.

If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and Haymaker does not consummate an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, or obtain the approval of Haymaker Stockholders to extend the deadline for Haymaker to consummate an initial business combination, it will be required to dissolve and liquidate and the Haymaker Warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights

No appraisal or dissenters’ rights are available to holders of shares of Haymaker common stock or Haymaker Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

Solicitation of Proxies

Haymaker will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the special meeting. Haymaker has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. Haymaker has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali LLC a fee of $ , reimburse Morrow Sodali LLC for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and indemnify Morrow Sodali LLC and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Haymaker also will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of Haymaker common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Haymaker common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Haymaker’s directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Stock Ownership

As of the record date, the Sponsor beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of Haymaker common stock. The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Founder Shares and any Haymaker Class A Common Stock acquired by it in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

PROPOSALS TO BE CONSIDERED BY HAYMAKER’S STOCKHOLDERS:

PROPOSAL NO. 1—THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

The Background of the Business Combination

Haymaker is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on February 13, 2019 and formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses. The proposed Business Combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing and operating experience of the Haymaker management team and the board of directors of Haymaker. The terms of the Business Combination were the result of extensive arms-length negotiations between representatives of the board of directors of Haymaker, the Haymaker management team and the Sponsor, on the one hand, and Arko and the GPM Minority Investors on the other hand. The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among representatives of Haymaker, Arko, GPM, the GPM Minority Investors and other parties. All meetings described herein were held telephonically, unless otherwise noted.

On June 11, 2019, Haymaker completed its initial public offering through the sale of 40,000,000 public units (including 5,000,000 units sold pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option) at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and one-third of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. Simultaneously with the IPO, the Sponsor, Cantor, and Stifel purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000.

Prior to consummation of the IPO, neither Haymaker, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with Haymaker.

Promptly following the IPO, Haymaker’s officers and directors commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire using the Sponsor’s network of investment bankers, private equity firms, consulting firms, legal and accounting firms and numerous other business relationships. Representatives of Haymaker and the Sponsor contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to acquisition opportunities. As part of this process, Haymaker management considered and conducted an analysis of over 380 potential acquisition targets in a wide variety of industry sectors. The revenues of the potential acquisition targets ranged from approximately $5,000,000 to over $20,000,000,000. Haymaker completed some level of analysis on 58 of those potential targets and entered into non-disclosure agreements with 23 of those potential acquisition targets.

On May 19, 2020, the Haymaker management team and Mr. Arie Kotler had their first telephonic meeting to discuss a potential business combination. Haymaker then executed a non-disclosure agreement and returned it via electronic mail to GPM, with a subsequent non-disclosure agreement executed between Haymaker and Arko on June 12, 2020.

On May 21, 2020, Haymaker and its representatives received from GPM a detailed business plan, a financial forecast, and other financial and business information.

Beginning on May 21, 2020, Haymaker’s management team, led by Mr. Steven Heyer, commenced due diligence on GPM and Arko based on the information provided on behalf of such parties. In addition, Haymaker’s management team commenced discussions with representatives of Arko and GPM and conducted

research on Arko and GPM, the industry in which GPM operates and comparable companies in GPM’s industry sector. This due diligence review continued until the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and GPM Equity Purchase Agreement on September 8, 2020. Haymaker’s management team also reviewed various comparable transactions to analyze the potential transaction.

On June 10, 2020, representatives from Haymaker attended a telephonic meeting with representatives of GPM to discuss the process related to signing the Business Combination Agreement and the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement and consummating the Business Combination.

Shortly thereafter, Haymaker’s management presented its analysis to Arie Kotler and GPM management.

On June 24, 2020, Haymaker entered into an engagement letter with Gornitzky & Co. to act as Israeli counsel in connection with a potential transaction.

On July 1, 2020, and after a month of considerable conversations, Haymaker engaged Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”) as a capital markets advisor and financial advisor in connection with a potential business combination with Arko. On July 1, 2020, Haymaker engaged Stifel as a financial advisor in connection with the same after having conversations throughout the month of June.

By July 12, 2020, Haymaker had engaged in significant due diligence and detailed discussions directly with senior executives and/or shareholders of 15 target businesses (including Arko), including target businesses in the media, consumer products, gaming, leisure and restaurant industries. Of those 15 target businesses, Haymaker executed four indications of interest and two letters of intent (including Arko).

On July 12, 2020, with the approval of the board of directors of Haymaker, Christopher Bradley, Chief Financial Officer of Haymaker, executed and delivered the non-binding letter of intent to Arko and GPM, which was accepted and agreed upon as of such date. The non-binding letter of intent was based on an enterprise valuation of GPM of approximately $1,500,000,000 and provided for an exclusivity period until August 4, 2020, subject to extension unless a party gave timely notice of termination. At this point, Haymaker focused exclusively on pursuing the acquisition of Arko and GPM as its initial business combination and began confirmatory due diligence efforts.

105

On July 13, 2020, Haymaker, Arko and GPM issued a joint press release announcing that such parties had entered into a non-binding letter of intent for a business combination.

On August 30, 2020, Haymaker and Arko came to an agreement on such terms.

106

During August and through August 30, 2020, DLA and GT exchanged revised drafts of the Business Combination Agreement, the other transaction agreements, and other ancillary documentation related to the Business Combination. The various drafts exchanged reflected divergent views on, among other things, registration rights, Arko’s permitted closing cash surplus payment to its shareholders, the treatment of certain convertible instruments, and certain risk allocation considerations. For a description of the aforementioned ancillary agreements, see the section entitled, “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.”

On September 1, 2020, representatives of Haymaker and Arko held a telephonic conference to negotiate terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

Haymaker’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

Haymaker’s board of directors, in evaluating the transaction with Arko, consulted with its legal counsel and financial and accounting advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Haymaker and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal, Haymaker’s board of directors considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, Haymaker’s board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. Haymaker’s board of directors viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Haymaker’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” of this document.

107

Haymaker’s board of directors considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to, the following material factors:

•

Attractive, Growing Category with Resilience to Economic Disruptions. The convenience store industry has demonstrated long-term growth yet remains highly fragmented. The industry has grown at a 3.4% compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) since 2007 (per NACS State of the Industry Report). The top ten companies control less than 20% of the store base in the United States, providing significant opportunities for growth. GPM’s revenue growth has accelerated in more recent months during the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers shift shopping patterns to convenience stores from other channels. GPM will also benefit substantially if travel patterns in the United States shift from air and rail travel to driving. Furthermore, the convenience store channel experienced growing sales in the recessionary period of 2008-2009.

•

Actionable Acquisition Opportunities. Arko and GPM maintain a highly-disciplined approach to mergers and acquisitions and have substantial experience sourcing, executing, and integrating value-enhancing acquisitions. Existing management has identified a robust pipeline of potentially actionable acquisition opportunities, which will enable GPM to accelerate its growth and scale, strengthen its competitive position, and enter new geographies across the globe. GPM has grown through acquisition to become the 7^th largest convenience store chain in the United States, with 1,272 company-operated locations, excluding pending acquisitions, in 23 states. GPM has increased its store count approximately 4.4x over the past seven years.

•

Experienced and Proven Management Team. Following the Business Combination, Arko’s and GPM’s current management team will remain in place. Mr. Kotler and Mr. Bassell served together as CEO and President and CFO, respectively, of GPM for over six years. Mr. Kotler, Mr. Bassell, Mr. Bloom, CMO of GPM, and Mr. Giacobone, COO of GPM, lead an internally-developed senior management team with over 50 years of combined industry experience. Haymaker’s board of directors believes Arko and GPM’s management has the ability to execute on their growth plan, explore other substantial adjacent market opportunities, and continue to build on a long track record of profitable growth.

•

Financial Condition. Haymaker’s board of directors also considered factors such as Arko and GPM’s historical financial results, outlook, financial plan, debt structure and asset base, as well as valuations and trading of publicly traded companies and valuations of precedent merger and acquisition targets in similar and adjacent sectors.

•

Other Alternatives. Haymaker’s board of directors’ belief, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Haymaker, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Haymaker and the most attractive opportunity for Haymaker management to accelerate its business plan based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and Haymaker’s board of directors’ belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.

•

Terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Haymaker’s board of directors considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement.

•

Independent Director Role. Haymaker’s board of directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with the Sponsor and its affiliates. Haymaker’s independent directors evaluated and unanimously approved, as members of Haymaker’s board of directors, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

108

Haymaker’s board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

•

Benefits Not Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

•

Liquidation of Haymaker. The risks and costs to Haymaker if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in Haymaker being unable to effect a business combination by June 11, 2021, and force Haymaker to liquidate.

•

No Third-Party Valuation or Fairness Opinion. The risk that Haymaker’s board of directors may not have properly valued Arko and GPM’s business. For more information, see “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination—Did Haymaker’s board of directors obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?”

•

Stockholder Vote. The risk that Haymaker’s stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Business Combination, including approval of the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal.

•

Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Haymaker’s control.

•

Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

•

Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

•

Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of Haymaker and the business of Arko and GPM described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this document.

In addition to considering the factors described above, Haymaker’s board of directors also considered that:

•

Interests of Certain Persons. Some officers and directors of Haymaker may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Haymaker’s stockholders (see “The Business Combination—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination”). Haymaker’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of Haymaker’s board of directors, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination and GPM Equity Purchase Agreement.

Haymaker’s board of directors concluded that the potential benefits that it expected Haymaker and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, Haymaker’s board of directors unanimously determined, based on its consideration of the specific factors listed above, that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, and the consideration to be paid by Haymaker in the Business Combination, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Haymaker and its stockholders.

Certain Financial Projections Provided to Haymaker’s Board of Directors

In connection with its consideration of the potential business combination, Haymaker’s board of directors were provided with prospective financial information prepared by management of Arko and GPM. The internally prepared projections as of July 14, 2020 presented projected fuel volume sales, in-store sales, and Adjusted

109

EBITDA of GPM for 2020 and 2021. The prospective financial information provided by Arko and GPM management to Haymaker was not prepared with a view towards public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to prospective financial information, but in the view of Arko and GPM management, was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the expected course of action and the expected future financial performance of GPM as of July 14, 2020. These projections were prepared solely for internal use, and capital budgeting and other management purposes, are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and were not intended for third-party use, including by investors or holders. Moreover, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on prospective financial information.

The projections reflect numerous assumptions, including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Arko’s and GPM’s control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” The projections reflect the consistent application of the accounting policies of Arko and should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies included in Note 2 accompanying the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Arko included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The financial projections are forward-looking statements that are based on growth assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Arko’s and GPM’s control. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the projections. The inclusion of the projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Haymaker, Arko, GPM or their respective representatives considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events, and reliance should not be placed on the projections.

The projections provided to Haymaker by Arko and GPM were used by Haymaker as a component in its overall evaluation of Arko and GPM, and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus on that account. Arko has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the projections to anyone, including to Haymaker. Neither Arko’s nor GPM’s management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Arko compared to the information contained in the projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. Accordingly, they should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. New Parent will not refer back to these forecasts in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

Neither Arko’s independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information provided to Haymaker or contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

In determining whether to purchase Arko, the Haymaker board of directors considered the following projections (in millions of dollars):


	Fiscal Year Ended December 31,⁽¹⁾
	2020E		2021E Pro Forma
In-Store Sales	$	1,510	$	1,664	⁽³⁾
Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾	$	145 – 150	$	210 – 215

110

(1)	Totals may be affected by rounding.

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding the gain or loss on disposal of assets, impairment charges, acquisition costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges. Pro forma Adjusted EBITDA gives effect to acquisitions and synergies for entire period presented irrespective of actual timing of acquisitions or commencement of synergies during the period.

(3)	Includes information related to pending Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC acquisition as of December 17, 2019.

In determining whether to purchase Arko, the Haymaker board of directors also considered the following projections related to fuel volume sales (in millions of gallons):


	Fiscal Year Ended December 31,⁽¹⁾
	2020E		2021E
Fuel Volume Sales		989		2,326	⁽²⁾

(1)	Totals may be affected by rounding.

(2)	Includes information related to pending acquisition of the business of Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC as of December 17, 2019.

In connection with the foregoing projections, Haymaker’s board of directors reviewed the 2016A-2021E compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) for each metric. The 2016A-2021E CAGR for GPM’s in-store sales (including the Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC acquisition), Adjusted EBITDA, and fuel volume sales (including the Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC acquisition) is approximately 15.8%, 30.7%, and 27.7%, respectively.

Selected Public Company Analysis

Haymaker reviewed, among other things, selected historical financial data and estimated financial data of GPM based on projections provided by its management, and compared them to corresponding financial data, where applicable, for U.S. listed public companies that Haymaker deemed comparable to Arko in certain respects. Haymaker also derived multiples for each of the selected companies and GPM based on such financial data and market trading prices, as applicable, and compared them. Haymaker selected these companies based on characteristics described below using the most recently available public information obtained by searching SEC filings, public company disclosures, press releases, equity research reports, industry and popular press reports, databases and other sources.

Although Haymaker selected the companies reviewed in these analyses because, among other things, their businesses are reasonably similar to that of GPM, no selected company is identical to GPM. Accordingly, Haymaker’s comparison of selected companies to GPM and analysis of the results of such comparison was not purely quantitative, but instead necessarily involved qualitative considerations and professional judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the relative value of GPM.

The selected companies consisted of two U.S. publicly traded companies that have financial profiles deemed comparable to GPM in certain respects. Based on these criteria, Haymaker identified and analyzed the following selected companies:

U.S. Convenience Stores:

•

Alimentation Couche Tard Inc.

•

Casey’s General Stores, Inc.

111

Below are the comparable companies’ underlying metrics and estimates related to the (i) Adjusted EBITDA for the period of 2016 to estimated 2020, (ii) net debt to estimated 2020 pro forma adjusted EBITDA multiples, (iii) return on incremental invested capital for the period of 2016 to 2019, and (iv) the enterprise value to estimated 2021 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA multiples. All estimates were calendarized to December year-ends.


	Operating Data of Comparable Companies
	Enterprise Value/2021E Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾		Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ CAGR (2016- 2020E)			Net Debt/2020E Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾		2016-2019 Return on Incremental Invested Capital⁽³⁾
Alimentation Couche Tard Inc.		10.9x		14.5	%		1.0x		14.	%
Casey’s General Stores, Inc.		12.0x		4.8	%		2.1x		4.2	%

(1)

(2)	Excludes capital leases.

(3)	Incremental EBITDA from 2016-2019 divided by total CapEx and acquisitions over that time period.

Haymaker’s board of directors compared the total enterprise value implied by the Business Combination as of September 9, 2020, to estimated 2021 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, the adjusted EBITDA CAGR for 2016 to 2020, the net debt to estimated 2020 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, and the return on incremental invested capital for 2016 to 2019 for GPM with the above metrics. The comparison illustrated an enterprise value to estimated 2021 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of 9x, an Adjusted EBITDA CAGR for 2016 to 2020 of approximately 29%, a net debt to estimated 2020 pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of 1.7x, and a return on incremental invested capital for 2016 to 2019 of 13.4%. This analysis supported Haymaker’s board of directors’ determination that the terms of the Business Combination were fair to and in the best interest of Haymaker and its stockholders.

Selected M&A Transaction Analysis

Haymaker performed a M&A transaction analysis, which was designed to imply a value for a company based on publicly available financial terms of the selected transactions that share certain similar characteristics with the Business Combination.

Haymaker selected the set of M&A transactions based on information obtained by searching SEC filings, public company disclosures, press releases, equity research reports, industry and popular press reports, databases and other sources. Haymaker selected these transactions based on the following criteria:

•

transactions with the target company operating within the U.S. convenience store industry;

•

transactions completed since 2010;

•

transactions with 100% ownership sought or sold;

•

transactions with an implied enterprise value over $1 billion within the U.S.;

•

transactions with a target similar to Arko in one or more respects, including, but not limited to, nature of business, size, diversification and financial performance; and

•

transactions with publicly available information regarding terms of the transaction.

112

The group was comprised of the following transactions. Below are the group’s enterprise values to EBTIDA multiples.


Target	Buyer(s)	EV/EBITDA Multiples
Speedway LLC	7-Eleven, Inc.	13.7x
Cumberland Farms	EG Group Limited	12.8x
Thorntons LLC	ArcLight Capital Partners BP, plc	13.1x
The Kroger Co.	EG Group Limited	11.6x
Sunoco LP	7-Eleven, Inc.	11.0x
Holiday Stationstores, Inc.	Alimentation Couche Tard Inc.	8.6x
CST Brands, Inc.	Alimentation Couche Tard Inc.	10.4x
The Pantry Inc. (Kangaroo Express)	Alimentation Couche Tard Inc.	7.7x
Hess Corporation	Marathon Petroleum Company	16.4x
Susser Holdings Corporation	Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.	15.7x

Median		12.2x

No target company or transaction utilized in the selected M&A transaction analysis is identical to GPM or the Business Combination. In evaluating the precedent transactions, Haymaker made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of GPM, such as the impact of competition on the business of GPM or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition and prospects of GPM or the industry or in the financial markets in general.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

•

113

•

the fact that the Sponsor will forfeit a portion of its Haymaker Private Placement Warrants and will receive deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock;

•

the continued indemnification of Haymaker’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of Haymaker’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;

•

Potential Actions to Secure Requisite Stockholder Approvals

In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination, the Sponsor and Haymaker’s board of directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with the Business Combination for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of the Sponsor or Haymaker’s board of directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares. Such a purchase of shares may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor or Haymaker’s board of directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The purpose of these purchases would be to increase the amount of cash available to Haymaker for use in the Business Combination.

114

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Business Combination

Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act”), and related rules, certain transactions, including the Business Combination, may not be completed until notifications have been given and information is furnished to the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the FTC and all statutory waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Completion of the Business Combination is subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. On , 2020, Haymaker and Arko caused the submissions required under the HSR Act in connection with the Business Combination to be made to the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ.

At any time before or after the expiration of the statutory waiting periods under the HSR Act, the Antitrust Division of the DOJ and the FTC may take action under the antitrust laws, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Business Combination, to rescind the Business Combination or to conditionally permit completion of the Business Combination subject to regulatory conditions or other remedies. In addition, non-U.S. regulatory bodies and U.S. state attorneys general could take action under other applicable regulatory laws as they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest, including, without limitation, seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent the completion of the Business Combination or permitting completion subject to regulatory conditions. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under regulatory laws under some circumstances. There can be no assurance that a challenge to the Business Combination on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if such a challenge is made, that it would not be successful. Haymaker and Arko are not aware of any other regulatory approvals in the United States required for the consummation of the Business Combination.

In accordance with the ICL, in order for the Second Merger to become effective, the Companies Registrar of the State of Israel must issue a Certificate of Merger, which cannot be issued until at least 50 days shall have elapsed after the filing of the Merger Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) with the Companies Registrar and 30 days shall have elapsed after the approval of the Second Merger by the shareholders of each of Arko and Merger Sub II.

Listing of Common Stock and Warrants

Each of Haymaker and New Parent will take all actions necessary in order to list the shares of New Parent Common Stock on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”) effective as of the Closing Date, and to obtain the approval of the Israel Securities Authority and the TASE to list such shares of New Parent Common Stock and the shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the First Merger and the Second Merger on the TASE pursuant to the dual-listing arrangement under the ISL, which would enable New Parent to apply for an exemption to use this registration statement on Form S-4 in Israel in lieu of an Israeli prospectus. New Parent will file a registration statement with the Israel Securities Authority, and the TASE for the listing of the New Parent Common Stock on the TASE. Prior to the Closing Date, each of Haymaker and New Parent has further agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of New Parent Common Stock and New Parent Warrants to be issued in connection with the Business Combination to be approved for listing on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “ARKO” and “ARKOW,” respectively. The listing of the shares of New Parent’s Common Stock on the TASE and Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, is also a condition to the obligations of each party to the Business Combination Agreement.

Prior to the First Effective Time, Arko will cooperate with New Parent and Haymaker and use its reasonable best efforts, in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TASE, to delist the Arko Ordinary Shares from the TASE, as promptly as practicable after the Second Effective Time.

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Haymaker will be treated as the “acquired” company and Arko will be considered the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. The Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Arko issuing stock in exchange for the net assets of Haymaker, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Arko and Haymaker will be stated at historical cost. No goodwill or intangible assets will be recorded in connection with the Business Combination.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Business Combination Agreement. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. The Business Combination Agreement has been attached to this proxy statement/prospectus to provide you with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Haymaker, New Parent, Arko, Merger Sub I, or Merger Sub II. The following description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement. You should refer to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement for details of the Business Combination and the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations and warranties that Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II, on the one hand, and Arko, on the other hand, have made to one another as of specific dates. These representations and warranties have been made for the benefit of the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be incorrect. In addition, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules exchanged by the parties in connection with signing the Business Combination Agreement. While Haymaker and Arko do not believe that these disclosure schedules contain information required to be publicly disclosed under the applicable securities laws, other than information that has already been so disclosed, the disclosure schedules do contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the attached Business Combination Agreement. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as current characterizations of factual information about Haymaker or Arko, because they were made as of specific dates, may be intended merely as a risk allocation mechanism between Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Arko and are modified by the disclosure schedules.

The Business Combination

On September 8, 2020, Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and Arko entered into the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which New Parent, Haymaker and Arko will enter into a business combination resulting in Arko and Haymaker becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of New Parent. The consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement to the shareholders of Arko consists of a combination of cash and shares of New Parent (as further explained below) and the stockholders and warrantholders of Haymaker will receive shares and warrants of New Parent (as further explained below). The terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination fee provisions and other terms relating to the mergers and the other transactions contemplated thereby, are summarized below. Capitalized terms used in this section but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

Structure of the Business Combination

The acquisition is structured as a “double dummy” transaction, resulting in the following:

(a)

(b)

117

(iii) after completion of the Second Merger, New Parent will organize a new corporation or limited liability company (“Newco”) and transfer all shares of capital stock of the Second Surviving Company to Newco in exchange for all shares of capital stock or equity interests of Newco. Following the transactions, the First Surviving Company and the Second Surviving Company will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent.

Effective Time and Closing of the Business Combination

The Closing will be on a date to be mutually agreed by Haymaker and Arko, but in no event later than three Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing). It is expected that consummation of the business combination will occur on or before January 31, 2021, which is the outside date to complete a business combination, provided that such date will be automatically extended until March 31, 2021, if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective prior to November 12, 2020.

Consideration to be Received in the Business Combination

Effect of the Business Combination on Existing Haymaker Equity

•

each share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time being automatically converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Parent (“New Parent Common Stock”);

•

each of the Haymaker Warrants, each of which is exercisable for one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, in accordance with its terms (the “Haymaker Warrants”) will become exercisable for one share of New Parent Common Stock;

•

the Sponsor will forfeit 1,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock and 2,000,000 New Parent Warrants and 4,000,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the Sponsor will be deferred (as further described below). See the section entitled “Consideration—Forfeiture and Deferral of New Parent Equity Held by the Sponsor.”

Forfeiture and Deferral of New Parent Equity Held by the Sponsor

118

occurs prior to the 5-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Trigger Event 2” will occur on (i) the first day the Required VWAP of the New Parent Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement) or (ii) a change of control of New Parent where the shares of New Parent Common Stock are sold for at least $15.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement), in each case, only if such event occurs prior to the 7-year anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination. “Required VWAP” means either (A) the 5-day volume weighed average price, if the average daily trading volume during such 5-day period equals or exceeds the average daily trading volume for the 180-day period following the Closing or (B) the 20-day volume weighted average price.

Conversion of Arko Ordinary Shares

For purposes of the above calculations, “Consideration Value” for a holder of Arko Ordinary Shares is an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of Arko Ordinary Shares held by such holder immediately prior to the Second Effective Time multiplied by (b) the Company Per Share Value. The “Company Per Share Value” is an amount equal to the quotient of $717,273,400 divided by the total number of issued and outstanding or issuable Arko Ordinary Shares, in each case, as of the Second Effective Time. Up to $150,000,000 of cash consideration will be available to holders of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Key Arko Shareholders) if they all were to select Option C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to the obligations of the Voting Support Shareholders under the Voting Support Agreements, in which certain holders of Arko Ordinary Shares have agreed to elect either Option A or Option B, under no circumstance shall the actual aggregate (x) cash consideration exceed $100,045,000 nor (y) shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued to Arko shareholders exceed 59,957,382 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $100,045,000) or 71,727,340 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $0). In addition, each holder of Arko Ordinary Shares will be entitled to receive a pro rata payment, in the form of a dividend or additional cash consideration, in respect of cash held by Arko in excess of Arko’s debt, each measured as of the closing of the Business Combination.

Exchange of Certificates; Delivery of Consideration

At the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Arko or the holders of any of the following securities: (i) each share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will automatically be converted into and exchanged for one validly

119

issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of New Parent Common Stock (with the Sponsor forfeiting and deferring certain shares, as described above under the heading “Forfeiture and Deferral of New Parent Equity Held by the Sponsor”), (ii) each share of Haymaker Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist as of the First Effective Time, (iii) each share of Haymaker Common Stock and Haymaker Preferred Stock held in the treasury of Haymaker immediately prior to the First Effective Time will be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto, (iv) each share of Merger Sub I Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time will automatically be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the First Surviving Company, and (v) each share of New Parent Common Stock held by Haymaker issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist as of the First Effective Time.

At the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Second Effective Time”), by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Arko or the holders of any of the following securities: (i) each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be canceled and, subject to the Business Combination Agreement, each Company Shareholder will receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with such Company Shareholder’s Consideration Election, (ii) each Share held in the treasury of Arko and each Share owned by Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Haymaker or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Haymaker or of Arko immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto, and (iii) each Merger Sub II Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share of the Second Surviving Company.

Prior to or concurrently with the Closing, New Parent will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent (i) cash sufficient to make payments of the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (ii) book-entry shares representing shares of New Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Stock Consideration payable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (iii) cash as required to make payments in lieu of any fractional shares. All cash, certificates and book-entry shares representing shares of New Parent Common Stock deposited by New Parent with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, are referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, pay the Cash Consideration and deliver the Stock Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose.

As promptly as practicable after the Second Effective Time, New Parent will, in coordination with the TASE, cause the Exchange Agent to (i) transfer the Merger Consideration to each person who was, at the Second Effective Time, a holder of book-entry shares of Arko held via TASE members via the Hevra LeRishumim of United Mizrahi Bank Ltd., including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of New Parent Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and (ii) mail to each record holder of Shares represented by Certificate at the Second Effective time a letter of transmittal and instructions to surrender the Certificates.

Each (i) holder of Shares represented by Certificate upon surrender of a Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), together with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the instructions, and (ii) holder of Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder has elected to receive pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The payment to the holders of the Book–Entry Shares shall be made via the members of the TASE.

On or prior to the First Merger, Haymaker shall deliver to New Parent a properly executed certification that shares of capital stock of Haymaker and warrants to acquire such capital stock are not “U.S. real property interests” in accordance with the Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h), together with a notice to the IRS (which shall be filed by Haymaker with the IRS following the First Merger within the time period provided by applicable Treasury Regulations) in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.897-2(h)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Effective Time, as follows:

(a)

By mutual written consent of Haymaker and Arko.

(b)

By either Haymaker or Arko if the First Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before January 31, 2021 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the Outside Date shall be automatically extended without any further action by any party until March 31, 2021 if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC prior to November 12, 2020; provided, further, that the Business Combination may not be terminated by or on behalf of any party that is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained in the Business Combination Agreement and such breach or violation is the primary cause of the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII of the Business Combination Agreement to be satisfied on or prior to the Outside Date.

(c)

By either Haymaker or Arko if any governmental authority enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any statute, rule, regulation, injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary

126

or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions.

(d)

By either Haymaker or Arko if the Haymaker Stockholder Approval is not adopted and approved by the requisite Haymaker stockholders at the Haymaker Stockholders’ Meeting;

(e)

By either Haymaker or Arko if the Company Shareholder Approval is not adopted and approved by the requisite Company Shareholders at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting;

(f)

By Haymaker upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Arko set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Arko shall have become untrue, in either case such that the Arko Representation Condition or the Arko Covenant Condition would not be satisfied (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided, that Haymaker has not waived such Terminating Company Breach and Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II are not then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that the Haymaker Representation Condition or the Haymaker Covenant Condition would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by Arko, Haymaker may not terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to a Terminating Company Breach unless such breach is not cured by the earlier of (i) 30 days after notice of such breach is provided by Haymaker to Arko; and (ii) 5 Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

(g)

By Arko upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II shall have become untrue, in either case such that the Haymaker Representation Condition and the Haymaker Covenant Condition would not be satisfied (“Terminating Haymaker Breach”); provided, that Arko has not waived such Terminating Haymaker Breach and Arko is not then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Arko set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that the Arko Representation Condition or the Arko Covenant Condition would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Haymaker Breach is curable by Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, Arko may not terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to a Terminating Haymaker Breach unless such breach is not cured by the earlier of (i) 30 days after notice of such breach is provided by Arko to Haymaker; and (ii) 5 Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

(h)

By Haymaker at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, if (A) the Company Board shall have made a Company Adverse Approval Change or (B) at any time after a Company Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or becomes generally known to the public, Arko shall have failed to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Approval within 10 Business Days after receipt of a written request from Haymaker to do so.

(i)

By Arko at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, in order for Arko to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal as contemplated by Section 6.06(a)(iv) of the Business Combination Agreement; provided that prior to, or concurrently with such termination, and as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination, Arko pays or causes to be paid to Haymaker the Company Termination Fee.

If the Business Combination Agreement is (x) terminated by Haymaker pursuant to clause (h) above, (y) by Arko pursuant to clause (i) above or (z) pursuant to clauses (b) or (f) above and (A) a Company Acquisition Proposal shall have been received by Arko or its representatives or a person has publicly announced an intention to make a Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) prior to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (B) within 6 months after the date of such termination, Arko enters into a definitive agreement in respect of any Company Acquisition Proposal and (C) within 12 months after the date of such termination, Arko consummates any Company Acquisition Proposal (provided that

127

for purposes of clauses (B) and (C), each reference to “20%” in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”) then, in each case of (x), (y), and (z), Arko shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Haymaker a termination fee of $21,518,202 (the “Company Termination Fee”) in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement. In no event shall Arko be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

In the event of any payment of the Company Termination Fee to Haymaker, Haymaker will allocate any such amounts as follows (and with the following priority): (i) to pay the expenses of Haymaker incurred in connection with the Proposed Transaction; (ii) to purchase from the Sponsor the Private Placement Warrants that the Sponsor purchased in connection with the IPO; (iii) to reimburse Haymaker for its expenses in connection with the Proposed Transaction or any other potential business combinations; (iv) to pay $25,000 to the Sponsor; and (v) to pay any taxes applicable to Haymaker. Haymaker will cause the amount of the applicable Company Termination Fee remaining after such payments to be paid to the Public Stockholders at the time of the Haymaker’s liquidation on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by such Public Stockholders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except in the case of fraud, if Arko pays the Company Termination Fee to Haymaker, such payment shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Haymaker, New Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II against Arko and its subsidiaries, representatives or assignees (together with Arko, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform or otherwise, and none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions.

Amendment; Waiver and Extension of the Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement may be amended by the parties thereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors at any time prior to the First Effective Time; provided, however, and subject to adjustments expressly set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, that, after the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions by the shareholders of Arko, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the type of consideration into which each Company Share shall be converted upon consummation of the Second Merger. The Business Combination Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement.

At any time prior to the First Effective Time, any party to the Business Combination Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party thereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained therein or in any document delivered pursuant thereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained therein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction

The Business Combination Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state, provided that the Second Merger, and such other provisions of the Business Combination Agreement expressly required by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement to be governed by the ICL, shall be governed by the ICL and its regulations. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to the Business Combination Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware. The parties to the Business Combination Agreement (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if such

128

court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to the Business Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Document brought by any party thereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper, or that the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

Expenses

Except as otherwise set forth in the Business Combination Agreement or any Transaction Document, if the Transactions are not consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses; provided that Arko shall pay any filing or similar fees with respect to any regulatory or governmental approval (including any fees with respect to notifications required under the HSR Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing, since the fees and expenses are incurred as part of the registration of the securities of New Parent in Nasdaq, if the Transactions are consummated, all fees and expenses of the parties incurred prior to or as of the Closing will be fully charged to New Parent or Haymaker and will be fully assumed and paid by New Parent or Haymaker at Closing.

Vote Required for Approval

The Closing is conditioned on the approval of the Lock-Up Agreement Proposal at the special meeting.

The Business Combination Proposal will be approved and adopted if the holders of a majority of the shares of Haymaker common stock represented in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or by proxy and voted thereon at the special meeting vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal.

In addition, the Sponsor, Andrew R. Heyer and Steven J. Heyer (each, a “Specified Holder”) have agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of New Parent Common Stock owned beneficially or of record, whether directly or indirectly, by such Specified Holder or any of its affiliates, or over which such Specified Holder or any of its affiliates maintains or has voting control, directly or indirectly, in favor of Arie Kotler if he is a nominee for election to the board of directors of New Parent from the Closing for a period of up to seven years following of the Closing, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF THE REDEMPTION AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences for (i) holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock who elect to have their Haymaker Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash, (ii) holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Arko Ordinary Shares who exchange their Haymaker Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, for New Parent Class A Common Stock and, if so elected by holders of Arko Ordinary Shares or to avoid the issuance of fractional shares, cash in the Business Combination and (iii) holders of Haymaker Warrants who exchange their Haymaker Warrants for New Parent Warrants. This discussion applies only to Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to your particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

•

U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

•

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

•

persons holding Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated transaction;

•

banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

•

brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

•

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

•

partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

•

tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

•

persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares being taken into account in an applicable financial statement;

•

U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

•

regulated investment companies (RICs) or real estate investment trusts (REITs);

•

persons who received Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares as compensation for services;

•

persons who own or are deemed to own 10% or more (by vote or value) of the stock of Haymaker or Arko;

•

tax-qualified retirement plans; and

•

“qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.

In addition, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to persons who actually or constructively own both Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Arko Ordinary Shares immediately

134

prior to the Business Combination. The application and the consequences of the rules described below to persons who own shares of both Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Arko Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Business Combination may differ from the application and the consequences of such rules to persons who own solely Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Business Combination. Persons who own shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Arko Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Business Combination should consult their tax advisors regarding the application and the consequences of the rules below to them in light of their particular circumstances.

If you are a partnership (or other pass-through entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of your partners (or other owners) will generally depend on the status of the partners, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships (or other pass-through entities) and the partners (or other owners) in such partnerships (or such other pass-through entities) should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, who is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

•

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

•

an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

•

an entity treated as a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (2) was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Also, for purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of Haymaker Class A Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, who is neither a U.S. holder nor an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Redemption to the Holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects stemming from the completion of the Business Combination that are associated with certain redemptions of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect holders to which this section applies and could affect the accuracy of the statements herein. Haymaker did not obtain a tax opinion regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and has not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters

135

discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below.

U.S. Holders

Redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. In the event that a U.S. holder’s Haymaker Class A Common Stock is redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section entitled “The Special Meeting of Haymaker Stockholders—Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as described under “—U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on Redemption Treated as a Sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock” below. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock, the U.S. holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences described below under “—U.S. Holders—Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution.”

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on whether the U.S. holder owns any of Haymaker’s stock following the redemption (including any stock treated as constructively owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants or by attribution from certain related individuals and entities), and if so, the total number of shares of Haymaker’s stock held by the U.S. holder both before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively treated as owned by the U.S. holder as a result of owning warrants or by attribution from certain related individuals and entities) relative to all of Haymaker’s shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock generally will be treated as a sale of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. holder’s interest in Haymaker or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. holder, as well as any stock that the U.S. holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Haymaker Class A Common Stock that could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Haymaker Warrants. Moreover, any Haymaker stock that a U.S. holder constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of Haymaker’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder immediately following the redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of Haymaker’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by such U.S. holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and the shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination). There will be a complete termination of a U.S. holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of our capital stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our capital stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are redeemed, the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in Haymaker. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate interest in Haymaker will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small

136

minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution, and the tax effects will be as described under “—U.S. Holders—Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution” below. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. holder in the redeemed Haymaker Class A Common Stock will be added to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

Gain or Loss on Redemption Treated as a Sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized in the redemption and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its disposed of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. The amount realized is the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received and a U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Haymaker Class A Common Stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to such U.S. holder that were treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Haymaker Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Haymaker Class A Common Stock may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, a U.S. holder will generally be treated as receiving a distribution. Such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in Haymaker Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock as described under “—U.S. Holders—Gain or Loss on Redemption Treated as a Sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock” above.

Dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock) Haymaker pays to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock) treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided that certain holding period requirements are met, dividends Haymaker pays to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the preferential tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Haymaker Class A Common Stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. In general, information reporting requirements will generally apply to dividends (including constructive dividends paid pursuant to a redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock) paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt

137

status, or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s federal income tax liability provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s Haymaker Class A Common Stock pursuant to the redemption provisions described in the section entitled “The Special Meeting of Haymaker Stockholders—Redemption Rights” generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. holder’s Haymaker Class A Common Stock, as described under “U.S. Holders—Redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock” above, and the consequences of the redemption to the Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under “Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock” and “Non-U.S. Holders—Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution,” as applicable.

Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. A Non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized on a redemption treated as a sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

•

the Non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the redemption and certain other requirements are met; or

•

Haymaker is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held Haymaker Class A Common Stock.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States) provided that the Non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of Haymaker Class A Common Stock (Haymaker would be treated as a buyer with respect to a redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock) may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. Haymaker believes that it is not, and has not been at any time since its formation, a United States real property holding corporation.

Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, a Non-U.S. holder will generally be treated as receiving a distribution. Such

138

distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from Haymaker’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of Haymaker’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in Haymaker Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders—Gain on Redemption Treated as a Sale of Haymaker Class A Common Stock” above. In general, with respect to any distributions that constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, Haymaker will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable documentation).

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. holder will be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax described above if such Non-U.S. holder furnishes to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock) on Haymaker Class A Common Stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any payments of dividends on Haymaker Class A Common Stock paid to the Non-U.S. holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of Haymaker Class A Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of Haymaker Class A Common Stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding Taxes. Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such sections commonly referred to as “FATCA”) impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on Haymaker Class A Common Stock to stockholders that fail to meet

139

prescribed information reporting or certification requirements. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8BEN, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and “non-financial foreign entities” unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interest in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution or a non-financial foreign entity generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations of The Business Combination for Haymaker and Arko Shareholders and for Haymaker Warrantholders

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences for (1) holders who exchange their Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, for New Parent Common Stock and, if so elected by holders of Arko Ordinary Shares or to avoid the issuance of fractional shares, cash in the Business Combination and (2) holders who receive New Parent Warrants in the Business Combination. This discussion applies only to Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants and Arko Ordinary Shares held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

The following discussion assumes that the First Merger and Second Merger will be consummated as described in the Business Combination Agreement and in this joint proxy and solicitation statement/prospectus. Each of Haymaker and Arko intends to take the position that the Mergers, taken together with the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code.

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects for holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants or Arko Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, stemming from the completion of the Business Combination. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect holders to which this section applies and could affect the accuracy of the statements herein. Neither Haymaker nor Arko has sought and neither of them will seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a position contrary to the tax consequences discussed below.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders

Receipt of New Parent Common Stock. Subject to the discussion below regarding Haymaker Warrants, the receipt of shares of New Parent Common Stock in exchange for Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Mergers, taken together with the GPM Equity Purchase Agreement, should qualify as an “exchange” described in Section 351 of the Code. Therefore, a U.S. holder of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares receiving shares of New Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination should not recognize gain or loss with respect to the receipt of such shares for U.S. federal tax purposes, subject to the discussion below of (i) a U.S. holder of Arko Ordinary Shares who elects to receive a combination of New Parent Common Stock and cash in the Business Combination, (ii) cash received in lieu of a

140

fractional share of New Parent Common Stock and (iii) a U.S. holder who exchanges Haymaker Warrants for New Parent Public Warrants under “—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders—Haymaker Warrants.”

Subject to the discussion below of cash received in lieu of a fractional share of New Parent Common Stock, a U.S. holder of Arko Ordinary Shares who elects to receive a combination of New Parent Common Stock and cash should recognize gain, but not loss, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the cash received pursuant to such election or (ii) the amount of gain realized in the exchange, measured by the difference between the fair market value, at the time of the exchange, of the New Parent Common Stock plus the amount of cash received and such holder’s tax basis in the Arko Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Business Combination. Such gain will constitute capital gain, and any such gain will constitute long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder’s holding period in the Arko Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Business Combination is more than one year as of the Effective Date.

Subject to the discussion under “—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders—Haymaker Warrants” below, a U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis for the shares of New Parent Common Stock received in the Business Combination (including any fractional share interest for which cash is received) will equal the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Business Combination, decreased by the amount of cash (if any) received in the Business Combination (excluding cash received in exchange for any fractional share interest), and increased by the amount of gain recognized by such holder in the Business Combination (excluding any gain attributable to the receipt of cash in exchange for any fractional share interest). The holding period of the shares of New Parent Common Stock received by a U.S. holder in the Business Combination will include the holding period of the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, although the running of the holding period for the Haymaker Class A Common Stock may be suspended as a result of any redemption rights with respect thereto.

A U.S. holder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of New Parent Common Stock in the Business Combination will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received instead of a fractional share and the U.S. holder’s tax basis allocable to such fractional share. Such gain or loss will constitute capital gain or loss and any such gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in the Haymaker common stock or Arko Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Business Combination is more than one year as of the Effective Date.

Under current law, long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers are taxed at a reduced U.S. federal income tax rate. Under current law, the deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. In addition, for purposes of the above discussion regarding the determination of the bases and holding periods for shares of New Parent Common Stock received in the Business Combination, U.S. holders who acquired different blocks of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares at different times for different prices must calculate their bases and holding periods in their shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares separately for each identifiable block of such stock exchanged in the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination fails to qualify as an “exchange” described in Section 351 of the Code, then a U.S. holder would recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of the holder’s shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares for shares of New Parent Common Stock and cash (if any) equal to the difference between the fair market value, at the time of the exchange, of the New Parent Common Stock and cash received in the Business Combination (including any cash received in lieu of a fractional share of New Parent Common Stock) and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares surrendered in the Business Combination. Such gain or loss would be long-term capital gain or loss if the Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares were held for more than one year at the time of the Business Combination. In addition, the U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of New Parent Common Stock received in the Business Combination would equal their fair market value at the time of the

141

closing of the Business Combination, and the U.S. holder’s holding period of such shares of New Parent Common Stock would commence the day after the closing of the Business Combination.

Haymaker Warrants. The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of Haymaker Warrants in connection with the Business Combination is not certain. It is possible that a U.S. holder of Haymaker Warrants could be treated as exchanging such Haymaker Warrants for “new” warrants. If so treated, a U.S. holder could be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the New Parent Public Warrants held by it immediately following the Business Combination and the adjusted tax basis of the Haymaker Warrants held by it immediately prior to the Business Combination. Alternatively, because the economic terms of Haymaker Warrants are not otherwise being changed pursuant to the Business Combination, and the terms of the warrants, when originally issued, contemplated the warrants becoming exercisable for shares of another corporation under circumstances similar to the Business Combination, it is possible that each of the Haymaker Warrants, which will become exercisable on 30 days following the Business Combination for one share of New Parent Common Stock, should not be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been exchanged for “new” warrants or otherwise transferred or exchanged pursuant to the Business Combination, in which case a U.S. holder of Haymaker Warrants should not recognize gain or loss with respect to such warrants as a result of the Business Combination. As a third alternative, it is also possible that a U.S. holder of Haymaker Warrants could be treated as transferring its Haymaker Warrants and Haymaker Class A Common Stock to New Parent in exchange for New Parent Public Warrants and New Parent Common Stock in an exchange described in Section 351(b) of the Code. If so treated, a U.S. holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such holder (generally, the excess of (x) the sum of the fair market values of the New Parent Public Warrants treated as received by such holder and the New Parent Common Stock received by such holder over (y) such holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Haymaker Warrants and Haymaker Class A Common Stock treated as having been exchanged therefor) and (ii) the fair market value of the New Parent Public Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. U.S. holders of Haymaker Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their Haymaker Warrants in connection with the Business Combination.

Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code. The results described above to U.S. holders of Arko Ordinary Shares who receive cash in the Business Combination could be different if Section 304 of the Code applies to the Second Merger. Section 304 of the Code may apply to the Second Merger if the Arko shareholders, in the aggregate, own stock of New Parent possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power or 50% or more of the total combined value of all classes of stock of New Parent, taking into account certain constructive ownership rules under the Code. It may not be possible to establish with certainty at the time of the Second Merger whether the 50% ownership requirement is satisfied because the ownership information necessary to make such determination may not be available.

If Section 304 of the Code were to apply to the Second Merger, a U.S. holder of Arko Ordinary Shares would be treated as having (1) exchanged a portion of such U.S. holder’s Arko Ordinary Shares equal in value to the New Parent Common Stock received pursuant to the Second Merger in a nontaxable transaction and (2) received the cash received pursuant to the Business Combination as a distribution in redemption of New Parent Common Stock deemed received by such U.S. holder in exchange for such U.S. holder’s remaining portion of its Arko Ordinary Shares, which we refer to as the “deemed redemption.” As a result, subject to the discussion below regarding potential dividend treatment, U.S. holders of Arko Ordinary Shares would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of such cash and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the portion of its New Parent Common Stock that is treated as being exchanged for such cash. Any such gain or loss recognized by such U.S. holder would be treated as capital gain or loss and would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. holder’s holding period for Arko Ordinary Shares treated as exchanged for cash is more than one year as of the Effective Date. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate holders, including individuals, are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

142

Notwithstanding the above, in certain circumstances, the cash consideration received by a U.S. holder of Arko Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Second Merger could be treated as having been received in a deemed redemption of New Parent Common Stock having the effect of a distribution of a dividend under the tests set forth in Section 302 of the Code, in which case such U.S. holder generally would recognize dividend income up to the lesser of (i) the amount of the cash received and (ii) the combined earnings and profits of Arko and New Parent. Under those tests, such deemed redemption generally would be treated as having the effect of a distribution of a dividend if the receipt of the cash consideration by a U.S. holder is not “substantially disproportionate” with respect to such holder or is “essentially equivalent to a dividend.” The deemed redemption generally will not be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a U.S. holder if the percentage of the outstanding New Parent Common Stock that the U.S. holder actually and constructively owns immediately after the Second Merger is greater than or equal to 80% of the percentage of the outstanding New Parent Common Stock that the U.S. holder is deemed actually and constructively to have owned immediately before the deemed redemption. The deemed redemption will be considered to be “essentially equivalent to a dividend” if it does not result in a “meaningful reduction” in the U.S. holder’s deemed percentage of stock ownership of New Parent applying constructive ownership rules. The IRS has ruled that a minority stockholder in a publicly traded corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have experienced a “meaningful reduction” if the stockholder has even a small reduction in such stockholder’s percentage of stock ownership under the above analysis. In applying the “substantially disproportionate” and “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests to a holder, sales or purchases of New Parent Common Stock made by such holder (or by persons whose shares are attributed to such holder) in connection with the Second Merger will be taken into account.

Because the possibility of dividend treatment depends upon each holder’s particular circumstances, including the application of constructive ownership rules, U.S. holders of Arko Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules to their particular circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules. If Arko were characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during a U.S. holder’s holding period for its Arko Ordinary Shares, certain potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. holder and result in different U.S. federal income tax consequences from those described above. A non-U.S. corporation, such as Arko, is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of its subsidiaries, either: (i) 50% or more of the value of the corporation’s assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets; or (ii) at least 75% of the corporation’s gross income is passive income. Passive income includes, for example, dividends, interest, rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.

Arko does not believe that it was a PFIC for its last taxable year and, based on current plans and financial expectations, does not expect to be a PFIC for its taxable year during which the Business Combination is completed. The determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a taxable year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, because the determination of whether a corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year can only be made after the close of such taxable year, whether Arko will be a PFIC for the taxable year during which the Business Combination is completed will not be known as of the Effective Date. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any determination made by Arko concerning its PFIC status. U.S. holders of Arko Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to their exchange of Arko Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A U.S. holder of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding for U.S. federal income tax purposes on cash received in connection with the

143

Business Combination. The current backup withholding rate is 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who (i) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies the U.S. holder is not subject to backup withholding on IRS Form W-9 or a substantially similar form or (ii) certifies the U.S. holder is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. holders of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption. If a U.S. holder does not provide a correct taxpayer identification number on IRS Form W-9 or other proper certification, the U.S. holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or allowed as a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. In the event of backup withholding, consult with your tax advisor to determine if you are entitled to any tax credit, tax refund or other tax benefit as a result of such backup withholding.

Further, U.S. holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares that receive shares of New Parent Common Stock and, upon completion of the Business Combination, own shares of New Parent Common Stock representing at least 5.0% of the total combined voting power or value of the total outstanding shares of New Parent Common Stock, are required to attach to their tax returns for the year in which the Business Combination is consummated, and maintain a permanent record of, a statement containing the information listed in Treasury Regulations section 1.351-3. The facts to be disclosed by a U.S. holder include the aggregate fair market value of, and the U.S. holder’s basis in, the Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares, as applicable, exchanged pursuant to the Business Combination.

Non-U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination for Non-U.S. holders of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, Haymaker Warrants and/or Arko Ordinary Shares will generally be the same as for U.S. holders except as noted below.

Non-U.S. holders will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized as a result of the Business Combination (i.e., with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of New Parent Common Stock or received, pursuant to Non-U.S. Arko stockholders’ election, in combination with New Parent Common Stock, if non-U.S. holders of Haymaker Warrants are treated either as exchanging such warrants for “new” warrants or as receiving New Parent Warrants in an exchange described in Section 351(b) of the Code or if the Business Combination does not qualify as an “exchange” described in Section 351 of the Code) unless:

•

the Non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the Business Combination and certain other requirements are met; or

•

in the case of a Non-U.S. holder of Haymaker Common Shares and/or Haymaker Warrants, Haymaker is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the Business Combination or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Haymaker Warrants, as applicable.

144

If the third bullet point above applied to a Non-U.S. holder, any gain recognized by such holder with respect to such holder’s Haymaker Class A Common Stock, and/or Haymaker Warrants as a result of the Business Combination would be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates and a U.S. federal withholding tax could apply. However, Haymaker believes that it is not, and has not been at any time since its formation, a United States real property holding corporation and New Parent does not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the Business Combination is completed. No assurance can be given that New Parent will not become a United States real property holding corporation in the future.

As discussed above and under the section entitled “—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences for U.S. Holders—Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code,” in certain circumstances, the cash consideration received pursuant to the Business Combination by a Non-U.S. holder of Arko Ordinary Shares could be treated as a distribution of a dividend, which may be subject to U.S. withholding tax in certain circumstances. Because the possibility of dividend treatment depends upon each holder’s particular circumstances, including the application of constructive ownership rules, Non-U.S. holders of Arko Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

A Non-U.S. holder of Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Arko Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding for U.S. federal income tax purposes on cash received in connection with the Business Combination. Backup withholding will not apply, however, if the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the non-U.S. holder either certifies its Non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption.

Certain Israeli Tax Consequences of the Business Combination

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all Israeli tax consequences of Arko shareholders relating to the Business Combination. This summary does not discuss all the aspects of Israeli tax law that may be relevant to a particular person in light of its, his or her personal circumstances. The discussion should not be construed as legal or professional tax advice and does not cover all possible tax considerations.

Arko is filing applications for tax rulings from the ITA with respect to (i) withholding tax in Israel regarding the consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement to Arko shareholders and a deferral of capital gains tax with respect to Arko shareholders who are not classified as a “controlling shareholder” (as such term defined in Section 103 of the Ordinance); and (ii) the Israeli tax treatment applicable to Arko RSU Shares issued under the benefiting tax regime of Section 102 of the Ordinance.

Discussions between Arko and the ITA regarding the scope of the rulings are ongoing. If the tax rulings referenced in the immediately preceding paragraph are finalized, Arko will file an immediate report on the Israel Securities Authority’s website, referred to as “MAGNA,” describing the tax rulings. There can be no assurance that such tax rulings will be granted before the Closing or at all or that, if obtained, such tax rulings will be granted under the conditions requested by Arko.

145

Israeli Capital Gains Tax

Generally, the exchange of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Arko RSU Shares which are entitled to the benefits of Section 102 of the Ordinance) for the consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement would be treated as a taxable event both for Israeli and non-Israeli resident shareholders. However, certain relief and/or exemptions may be available under Israeli law.

Israeli law generally imposes capital gains tax on the real capital gain from the sale of any capital assets by residents of Israel, as defined for Israeli tax purposes, and on the sale of capital assets located in Israel, including shares of Israeli companies by non-residents of Israel, unless a specific exemption is available or a tax treaty between Israel and the shareholder’s country of residence provides otherwise. Israeli law distinguishes between real capital gain and inflationary surplus. The real capital gain is the excess of the total capital gain over the inflationary surplus. You should consult your own tax advisor as to the method you should use to determine the inflationary surplus.

Residents of Israel. Generally, the capital gains tax rate applicable to the real capital gain is 25% for individuals, unless such shareholder claims a deduction for interest and linkage differences expenses in connection with the shares sold, in which case the real capital gain will generally be taxed at a rate of 30%. If such individual holds or is entitled to purchase, directly or indirectly, alone or together with such person’s relative or another person who collaborates with such person on a permanent basis, at least 10% of (i) the voting rights of Arko, (ii) the right to receive Arko’s profits or its assets upon liquidation, (iii) the right to appoint a manager/director, or (iv) the right to instruct any other person to do any of the foregoing (a “Major Stockholder”) on the date of sale or on any date falling within the 12-month period preceding that date of sale, such Major Stockholder would be subject to Israeli capital gains tax at the rate of 30%.

The actual capital gains tax rates which may apply to individual Arko shareholders on the sale of Arko Ordinary Shares (which may be effectively higher or lower than the rates mentioned above) are subject also to various factors including, inter alia, the date on which the shares were purchased, whether the shares are held through a nominee company or by the shareholder, the identity of the shareholder and certain tax elections which may have been made in the past by the shareholder.

In general, companies are subject to the corporate tax rate on real capital gains derived from the sale of shares at the rate of 23% in 2020. Due to certain provisions of the Ordinance, the effective capital gains tax applicable to certain companies may be different than that specified above.

Individual and corporate shareholders dealing in securities in Israel are taxed at the tax rates applicable to “business income,” currently 23% for companies and a marginal tax rate of up to 47% for individuals, plus an additional tax of 3%, which is imposed on individuals whose annual taxable income exceeds a certain threshold (NIS 651,600 for 2020), see - “Excess Tax” below.

The inflationary surplus is generally exempt from tax, provided that the shares being sold were acquired after December 31, 1993.

Non-Residents of Israel. Pursuant to Israeli tax law, non-Israeli residents (individuals or corporations) will generally be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax, subject to certain provisions of the Ordinance, on the sale of Arko Ordinary Shares which were acquired after the company was registered for trade on the TASE. However, non-Israeli corporations will not be entitled to the foregoing exemption if Israeli residents: (i) have a controlling interest of more than 25% in such non-Israeli corporation or (ii) are the beneficiaries of, or are entitled to, 25% or more of the revenues or profits of such non-Israeli corporation, whether directly or indirectly.

Other non-Israeli residents (individuals or corporations) may be exempt from Israeli capital gains tax under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty between Israel and the seller’s country of residence. For example, under

146

the Convention between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “U.S. Israel Tax Treaty”), Israeli capital gains tax would generally not apply when arising from the sale, exchange or disposition of ordinary shares by a person who qualifies as a resident of the United States within the meaning of the U.S. Israel Tax Treaty and who holds the shares as a capital asset and is entitled to claim the benefits afforded to such person by the treaty.

However, such exemption will not apply if: (i) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to real estate located in Israel; (ii) the capital gain arising from such sale, exchange or disposition is attributed to royalties; (iii) the capital gain from such sale, exchange or disposition may be attributed to a permanent establishment of the U.S. resident that is maintained in Israel; (iv) the U.S. resident holds, directly or indirectly, securities representing 10% or more of the voting rights during any part of the 12-month period preceding the effective time of the sale, exchange or disposition, subject to certain conditions; or (v) the U.S. resident, if an individual, was physically present in Israel for a period or periods aggregating to 183 days or more during the relevant taxable year.

You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the applicability of tax treaties to you and your receipt of consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement.

Excess Tax

Individuals who are subject to tax in Israel (whether such individual is an Israeli resident or non-Israeli resident) are also subject to an additional tax at a rate of 3% on annual income exceeding a certain threshold (NIS 651,600 for 2020), which amount is linked to the annual change in the Israeli consumer price index, including, but not limited to, dividends, interest and capital gain, subject to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty.

Israeli Tax Withholding

Whether or not a particular shareholder is actually subject to Israeli capital gains tax in connection with the Business Combination, absent receipt by Arko of an applicable tax ruling from the ITA prior to the Closing, all Arko shareholders will be subject to Israeli withholding tax at the rate of 25% (for individuals) and 23% (for corporations) on the gross consideration payable to them under the Business Combination Agreement (unless the shareholder requests and obtains an individual certificate of exemption or a reduced tax rate from the ITA), and Haymaker, New Parent, anyone on their behalf or the exchange agent may withhold and deduct from such consideration an amount equal to 25%-30% (for individuals), 23% (for corporations) or such other reduced tax rate as stipulated in a certificate, if obtained, as applicable, of the gross consideration payable to such shareholder.

Arko is currently in discussions with the ITA regarding the scope of the final tax rulings and the exemptions that may be provided to Arko shareholders and, as of September 10, 2020, no definitive binding ruling has been obtained from the ITA. There can be no assurance that such tax rulings will be granted before the Closing or at all or that, if obtained, such tax rulings will be granted under the conditions requested by Arko.

The Israeli tax withholding consequences of the Business Combination to Arko shareholders and holders of Arko RSU Shares subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance may vary depending upon the particular circumstances of each shareholder or holder, as applicable, and the final tax rulings issued by the ITA.

To the extent that tax is withheld on payments to U.S. taxpayers, there can be no assurance that U.S. taxpayers will be entitled to a credit for such withheld taxes against such taxpayers’ U.S. income tax liability.

If no tax ruling is obtained for holders of Arko RSU Shares subject to Section 102 of the Ordinance, such holders may be subject to Israeli withholding tax at such holders’ marginal tax rates under Israeli law for ordinary income, and may be also subject to withholding for national insurance contributions, depending on the

147

specific circumstances of such holders and the terms and the timing of the grants of the RSUs. In such event, a trustee appointed in accordance with to Section 102 will withhold and deduct amounts from the consideration payable to such holder at such rates as required under applicable law.

The Israeli tax rulings mentioned above may not be obtained or may contain such provisions, terms and conditions as the ITA may prescribe, which may be different from those described above. Certain categories of shareholders are expected to be excluded from the scope of any eventual ruling granted, if granted, by the ITA and the final determination of the type of holders of Arko Ordinary Shares who will be included in such categories will be based on the outcome of the ongoing discussions with the ITA. If Haymaker, New Parent, anyone on their behalf or the exchange agent deducts any amount from the consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement to you in respect of Israeli withholding tax obligations, you should consult your tax advisor concerning the possibility of obtaining a refund from the ITA of any such withheld amounts.

INFORMATION ABOUT ARKO

The Company

Based in Richmond, VA, GPM is a leading independent convenience store operator and the 7th largest in the United States by store count⁴. As of June 30, 2020, GPM’s network consisted of 1,393 locations in 23 states including 1,266 company operated stores and 127 dealer-operated and GPM-supplied sites. GPM is well diversified across geographies in the Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, and Northeast regions of the U.S. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, GPM generated $3.8 billion of total revenue, including $1.5 billion of in-store sales and other revenues, and sold approximately 1.0 billion gallons of fuel. All of the figures and information presented in this section, as it relates to GPM, are presented as of June 30, 2020, unless otherwise indicated.

The U.S. convenience store industry remains highly fragmented, with the 10 largest convenience store retailers accounting for less than 20% of the store base in the United States in 2019. 7-Eleven, Inc., the largest operator of convenience stores in the U.S., recently announced the acquisition of the Speedway chain of convenience stores and after the transaction, it will control approximately 9% of the industry’s store count (which may be reduced by required divestitures as part of its Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) review). The second largest retailer is Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc., which operates 4% of total U.S. convenience stores. Beyond the top two (excluding Speedway), the next largest retailer, Casey’s General Stores, Inc., only represents 1.4% of total U.S. store count. A majority of stores are managed by small, local operators with 50 or fewer stores and account for approximately 72% of all convenience stores.

In addition, the U.S. convenience store industry has proven to be recession resilient as demonstrated by the designation of convenience stores as essential businesses during the statewide shutdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, as consumers grew wary of visiting comparatively high-touch grocery stores during the pandemic, convenience stores drew more “fill-in” visits for various food and other grocery items. GPM’s management believes that convenience retail is a dynamic industry that flexes and evolves with changing consumer preference and will continue to do so as a result of the pandemic.

GPM’s management believes that GPM will continue to benefit from several key industry trends and characteristics, including:

•

Continued opportunities to compete more effectively and grow through acquisitions as a result of industry fragmentation and ongoing consolidation trend;

•

Increasing size of retail stores, specifically supermarkets and large format hypermarkets, driving consumers to small box retailers, such as convenience stores, to meet their demand for speed and convenience in daily shopping needs;

153

•

Changing consumer demographics, shopping habits and eating patterns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will require convenience store operators to alter foodservice and product offerings inside the store and this presents an opportunity as we expand foodservice offerings to meet changing consumer preferences;

•

While consumption of cigarettes, a major product category for convenience store retailers, has declined nationwide, U.S. convenience store industry in-store sales and profits have continued to increase as retailers shift offerings to higher margin products;

•

U.S. national fuel margin is trending higher from an average of 17.1 cents per gallon from 2009 through 2013 to an average of 22.2 cents per gallon from 2014 through 2019 (OPIS Retail Year in Review)—a result of large fuel suppliers exiting the convenience store market as well as operators pricing more rationally to recuperate gradually increasing operating costs and declining tobacco sales;

•

Industry cost headwinds such as credit card costs and wage increases provide larger chains with significant scale advantage over smaller operators;

•

Continued investment in new technology platforms and applications to adapt to new consumer preferences including speed of convenience, contactless and order ahead service, and delivery; and

•

Recession resilient nature of the industry as demonstrated by strong sector performance during the 2001 Dot Com Recession, the 2007 – 2009 Great Recession and the 2020 COVID-19 Recession.

Competitive Strengths

GPM’s management believes that the following competitive strengths differentiate GPM from its competitors and contribute to GPM’s continued success:

Leading industry consolidator with a proven track record of integrating acquisitions and generating exceptional returns on capital. GPM is one of the largest and most active consolidators in the highly-fragmented convenience store industry. Since the beginning of 2013, GPM has completed 17 acquisitions expanding its store count approximately 4.4x. As an experienced acquiror, GPM has demonstrated the ability to generate exceptional returns on capital and meaningfully improve target performance post-integration through operating expertise and economies of scale. GPM’s management believes that continued scale advantage has enabled GPM to become a formidable industry player, enhanced its competitiveness, and positioned it as an acquirer of choice within the industry. GPM’s management also believe that the pending acquisition of Empire’s business will allow GPM to grow its wholesale channel by acquiring supply contracts from independent operators in addition to retail convenience store and wholesale fuel portfolios and will enhance our cash flow profile and diversification.

Leading Market Position in Highly Attractive, Diversified and Contiguous Markets. GPM’s network consists of approximately 1,400 locations across 23 states. GPM is well diversified across geographies in the Midwest, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, and Northeast regions of the United States. GPM has traditionally acquired a majority of its stores in smaller towns with less concentration of national-chain convenience stores. GPM’s management believes that GPM’s focus on secondary and tertiary markets allows GPM to preserve “local” brand name recognition and aligns local market needs with capital investment.

Entrenched Local Brands with Scale of Large Store Portfolio. GPM operates its stores under 16 regional brand names (a “Family of Community of Brands”). Upon closing of an acquisition, rather than rebranding a group of stores, GPM has typically left the existing store name in place leveraging customer familiarity and loyalty associated with the local brand. GPM believes it benefits greatly from the established brand equity in its portfolio of store banners acquired over time. GPM’s acquired brands have been in existence for an average of approximately 50 years and each brand, with its respective long-term community involvement, is highly recognizable to local customers. In addition, each individual store brand derives significant value from the scale, corporate infrastructure, and centralized marketing programs associated with GPM’s large store network. These benefits include:

•

Centralized merchandise purchasing and supply procurement programs;

•

Fuel price optimization and purchasing functions;

•

Common private label offerings;

•

Common loyalty program under the name fas REWARDS^®;

•

Centralized environmental management and environmental practices; and

•

Common IT and point-of-sale platforms.

155

ability to pivot is facilitated by our streamlined and efficient internal decision making structure and process that allows for the rapid implementation of new initiatives. GPM’s flexibility is complemented by deep relationships with a host of manufacturers and suppliers worldwide. By way of example, upon the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, GPM was able to fully stock its stores with essential items such as hand sanitizers, wipes, face masks, etc. ahead of many of its competitors.

Real-time Fuel Pricing Analysis. GPM’s fuel pricing software enables real-time insight into street-level pricing conditions across the entire portfolio and estimates demand impacts from various pricing alternatives. This allows GPM to rapidly make pricing decisions that satisfy gallon and gross profit targets. Many of GPM’s competitors are smaller operators which lack this visibility into their fuel pricing strategies and as a result forego opportunities to optimize total fuel margin.

Growth Strategy

156

majority of its stores in smaller towns with less concentration of national-chain convenience stores. GPM’s management believes that GPM’s focus on secondary and tertiary markets allow GPM to preserve “local” brand name recognition and aligns local market needs with capital investment. GPM has established a dedicated in-house M&A team that is fully focused on identifying, closing and integrating acquisitions. GPM has a highly actionable pipeline of potential targets and will focus on existing and contiguous markets where demographics and overall market characteristics are similar to our existing markets. In addition, GPM’s management believes GPM’s unique retail/wholesale business model provides GPM with strategic flexibility to acquire chains with both retail and dealer locations. The pending acquisition of Empire’s business will add significant scale to GPM’s wholesale fuel channel in terms of fuel gallons sold and will materially increase GPM’s footprint to 10 new states and the District of Columbia. This will also enable GPM to grow through the acquisition of supply contracts with independent dealers.

Store Remodel Opportunity. In addition to acquisitions, GPM believes that it has an expansive, embedded remodel opportunity within its existing store base. GPM has driven significant synergies from acquisitions, but has yet to further optimize the performance of stores it has purchased. Based on traffic counts, local demographic information and internal analyses, GPM has identified nearly 700 stores as potential candidates for remodel and anticipates remodeling approximately 360 sites over the next three to five years. Although highly dependent on store size and format, a store remodel would typically include improvements to overall layout and flow of the store, an expanded foodservice and grab-n-go offering, updated equipment, beer caves, restrooms, flooring and lighting to give the store a more common feel across the network and generate a more enticing experience for the consumer. GPM’s goal is to generate pre-tax returns on investment of at least 20% on store investments. While GPM will continue to prioritize acquisitions and its store remodel program, opportunistic new store builds will be considered to further accelerate growth.

•

expansion of our high margin private label and essential items offering in the stores;

•

launch of a revised customer relationship-focused loyalty program and associated promotional events;

•

enhanced store planogram and product mix optimization with data-driven placement of top-selling SKU’s across all categorizes with regional customization;

•

rollout of mobile ordering and curbside pickup at select stores; and

•

full realization of gaming machines installed in 60 stores in Virginia that were rolled out in July 2020.

Store Portfolio Optimization. Underperforming retail sites are continually reviewed for opportunities to improve store performance, switch to dealer channels, or sold outright. If investments into store offerings or appearances are not likely to return adequate returns on capital, retail sites can be converted to either lessee-dealer or consignment agent sites. After conversion, GPM receives rent from the tenant and enters into a long-term supply contract with the dealer, eliminating exposure to retail operations and store-level operating expenses. As another option, sites with higher and better alternative use potential exceeding the value to us of owning and operating the property as a retail or wholesale site may be sold.

Wholesale Fuel Business

Pending Empire Acquisition

160

agreed-upon divestitures of certain sites. The transaction is expected to close in early October 2020. GPM has secured funding for the transaction. The closing of the Business Combination is conditioned on the closing of GPM’s acquisition of Empire’s business.

Empire is one of the largest and most diversified wholesale fuel distributors in the United States, distributing motor fuels to approximately 1,500 independently operated fueling stations in 30 states and the District of Columbia. In addition to supplying third party sites, Empire directly operates approximately 75 convenience stores. Upon closing of the proposed transaction with Empire, GPM will operate stores or supply fuel in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Empire sells branded and unbranded fuel products to customers on both fixed margin and consignment bases under long-term contracts. It maintains relationships with all major oil companies, which enables Empire to offer customers a broad portfolio of fuel brands and security of supply. Since 2011, Empire completed 23 acquisitions to grow its distribution base rapidly, complementing its organic growth which includes single-site additions of new supply contracts.

Real Estate

As of June 30, 2020, GPM owned 216 properties including 182 company-operated sites, 14 consignment agent locations, and 20 lessee-dealer sites. Additionally, GPM has long-term control over a leased portfolio comprising 1,142 locations. Of the leased properties, 1,084 are company-operated stores, 24 are consignment agent locations, and 34 are lessee-dealer sites. For GPM’s leased sites, approximately 780 sites have at least 20 years remaining, assuming all extension options are exercised. GPM’s top three landlords account for 18%, 13%, and 10% of the leased properties. No other landlord accounts for more than 10% of the leased portfolio.

Competition

GPM operates in a highly competitive retail convenience market which includes businesses with operations and services that are similar to those that are provided by GPM, primarily the sale of convenience items and motor fuels. GPM faces significant competition from other large chain operators such as: 7-Eleven, Circle K, Casey’s, Murphy USA, Quik Trip, Royal Farms, Sheetz, Speedway and Wawa. In particular, large convenience store chains have expanded their number of locations and remodeled their existing locations in recent years, enhancing their competitive position. GPM’s management also believes that convenience stores managed by individual operators who offer branded or non-branded fuel are also significant competitors in the market. Often, operators of both chains and individual stores compete by selling unbranded fuel at lower retail prices relative to the market. GPM’s management believes that the primary competitive factors influencing the retail channel are: site location, competitive prices, convenient access routes, the quality and configuration of the store and the fueling facility, the range of high-quality products and services offered, a convenient store-front, cleanliness, branded fuel, and the degree of capital investment in the store.

The convenience store industry is also experiencing competition from other retail sectors including grocery stores, large warehouse retail stores, dollar stores and pharmacies. In particular, dollar stores (such as Family Dollar and Dollar General) and pharmacies (such as CVS and Walgreens) have expanded their product offerings to sell snacks, beer and wine and other products that are traditionally sold by convenience stores, while grocery and large warehouse stores (such as Costco and Wal-Mart) have expanded their fuel offering adjacent to their stores.

GPM’s management believes that the primary barriers to entry in this field are the level of financial strength required to enter into agreements with suppliers of fuel products, and competition from other fuel companies and retail chains.

The wholesale fuel business is also competitive. GPM’s wholesale business competes with major oil companies that distribute their own products, as well as other independent third-party motor fuel distributors. Wholesale fuel distributors typically compete by offering shorter contract commitments, lesser collateral requirements and larger

161

incentives to enter into contracts. GPM distributes fuel sourced from a number of major oil company suppliers which allows GPM to approach a wide variety of outside branded and unbranded dealers in order offer a variety of alternative supply arrangements.

In the wholesale channel, GPM supplies fuel to third parties both at sites controlled by the third party and at sites that are controlled by GPM, either through ownership of the site or a long-term lease. In order to mitigate this competition, GPM offers the outside operators competitive pricing within the framework of the fuel supply agreements; such as those agreements that GPM has in place with Valero, BP, Shell, Marathon and ExxonMobil.

Government Regulation

GPM’s operations are subject to numerous legal and regulatory requirements, at the federal, state and local level. With regard to fuel, these restrictions and requirements relate primarily to the transportation, storage and sale of petroleum products, including stringent environmental protection requirements. In its wholesale and GPM Petroleum segments, GPM is also subject to the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act (PMPA), which is a federal law that applies to the relationship between fuel suppliers and wholesale distributors, wholesale distributors and wholesale distributors to retailers, regarding the marketing of branded fuel. The law is intended to prevent the cancellation, or non-renewal, of arbitrary or discriminatory dealership agreements and stipulates limitations on the cancellation, or non-renewal, of agreements for distribution of branded fuel, unless certain preconditions, as defined by law, are met.

With regard to non-fuel products, there are legal restrictions at the federal, state and local level in connection with the sale of food, alcohol, cigarettes and other tobacco products, menu labeling, money orders, money transfer services, gaming, lottery, adult magazines and ephedrine sales. Also, regulatory supervision is exercised by health departments at the federal, state and local level over the food products that are sold in the stores that GPM operates. With respect to data held by GPM, including credit card information and data related to loyalty customers, GPM is subject to federal, state and local requirements related to the possession, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information, including mandated procedures to be followed in the event a data breach were to occur.

GPM and its subsidiaries hold various federal, state, and local licenses and permits, some of which are perpetual, but most of which renew annually. These include general business licenses, lottery licenses, licenses and permits in connection with the sale of cigarettes, licenses in connection with the operation of gaming machines, licenses in connection with the sale of alcoholic drinks, licenses and permits that are required in connection with the sale of fuel, licenses that are required for the operation of convenience stores and licenses to sell food products.

EMV, which stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa, is a global standard for credit cards that uses computer chips to authenticate and secure chip-card transactions. The liability for fraudulent credit card transactions shifted from the credit card processor to GPM in October 2015 for transactions processed inside the convenience stores (although due to the unavailability of the correct software from branded fuel suppliers, certain of such suppliers have retained certain associated liabilities) and will shift to GPM in April 2021 for transactions at the fuel dispensers. In connection with incentive funds provided by fuel suppliers, GPM is actively upgrading its point-of-sale machines and fuel dispensers to be EMV-compliant at the fuel dispenser. GPM has upgraded all of its inside point-of-sale machines to be EMV-compliant and is in the process of upgrading its fuel dispensers to be EMV-compliant (approximately 20-25% of locations are expected to be upgraded by the end of 2020). Due to the unavailability of the correct software from branded fuel suppliers and the cost to upgrade each site, GPM does not expect to upgrade all of its sites prior to April 2021 and accordingly, may be subject to liability for fraudulent credit card transactions processed at fuel dispensers. GPM does not believe that this will expose it to material liability.

GPM’s operations are subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wage, overtime, working conditions and employment eligibility requirements. Recently, proposals have emerged at state and local

162

levels to increase minimum wage rates. In 2019, efforts were put forth in the U.S. federal government to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour (in contrast to today’s federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour). However, no federal legislation has been enacted at this time to effect this particular wage increase. The legislative trend to raise the minimum wage on a local and state basis above the federal minimum wage continued in 2019. In 2019, the U.S. federal overtime regulations were expanded to increase the entitlement to overtime pay.

GPM is subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations that address its properties and operations, including, without limitation the transportation, storage and sale of fuel, which have a considerable impact on its operations, including compliance with the requirements and regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and comparable state counterparts. GPM is required to comply with the following regulations, among others:

•

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) and comparable state and local laws, which imposes strict, and under certain circumstances, joint and several, liability, without regard to fault, on the owner and operator as well as former owners and operators of properties where a hazardous substance has been released into the environment, including liabilities for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of contamination and any related damages to natural resources.

•

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act gives EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from the “cradle-to-grave.” This includes the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also address environmental problems that could result from underground tanks storing fuel and other hazardous substances.

•

The Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and comparable state and local laws which imposes requirements on emissions to the air from motor fueling activities in certain areas of the country, including those that do not meet state or national ambient air quality standards. These laws may require the installation of vapor recovery systems to control emissions of volatile organic compounds to the air during the motor fueling process. Under the CAA and comparable state and local laws, permits are typically required to emit regulated air pollutants into the atmosphere.

•

The Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) provides protection for the health and safety of workers. In addition, OSHA’s hazard communication standards require that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens.

The EPA, and several states, have established regulations concerning the ownership and operation of underground fuel storage tanks (“UST”), the release of hazardous substances into the air, water and land, the storage, handling disposal and transportation of hazardous materials, restrictions on exposure to hazardous substances and maintaining safety and health of employees who handle or are exposed to such substances.

ARKO’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information regarding GPM’s executive compensation program and decisions for 2019 for the following individuals who we refer to as named executive officers, or NEOs, who will serve as executive officers of New Parent following the Business Combination:

•

Arie Kotler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Arko; President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, GPM

•

Don Bassell, Chief Financial Officer

•

Maury Bricks, General Counsel and Secretary

Mr. Kotler is considered an NEO of both Arko and GPM, while the other executives are NEOs of GPM. Mr. Kotler does not receive any compensation directly from GPM, as his services as Chief Executive Officer of GPM are provided to GPM through KMG Realty LLC (“KMG”), an entity wholly owned by Mr. Kotler, in exchange for management fees, pursuant to a management services agreement between GPM and KMG (the “GPM Management Services Agreement”). KMG is also party to a profits participation agreement with the members of GPM (the “Profits Participation Agreement”) pursuant to which KMG is entitled to receive annual net profit participation amounts from GPM. See “Payments to KMG—GPM Management Services Agreement” and “Payments to KMG—Profits Participation Agreement” for more information.

Mr. Kotler does not receive any compensation from Arko for his services as Chief Executive Officer of Arko. His services as Chairman of Arko are provided to Arko through KMG in exchange for management fees, pursuant to a management services agreement between Arko and KMG (the “Arko Management Services Agreement”). See “Payments to KMG—Arko Management Services Agreement” for more information.

As a result, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis focuses primarily on GPM’s executive compensation program with respect to the NEOs, other than Mr. Kotler.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

GPM’s executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain individuals with the qualifications to manage and lead GPM as well as to motivate them to develop professionally and contribute to the achievement of GPM’s financial goals. GPM’s primary executive compensation objectives are to:

•

attract, retain and motivate executives who are capable of advancing its mission and strategy; and

•

reward executives in a manner aligned with its financial performance.

To achieve its objectives, GPM delivers executive compensation to the NEOs through a combination of the following components:

•

base salary;

•

cash bonus opportunities;

•

severance benefits; and

•

broad-based employee benefits.

169

Base salaries, broad-based employee benefits and severance benefits are designed to attract and retain senior management talent. Annual cash bonus opportunities are designed to reward executives for their contributions to GPM’s financial performance.

Compensation Determination Process; Role of Compensation Consultant and Management

GPM’s Chief Executive Officer oversees all aspects of its executive compensation program. In making compensation decisions for the NEOs, the Chief Executive Officer annually reviews financial data provided by the Chief Financial Officer, the performance of the executive officer and GPM’s overall performance against its applicable corporate goals. GPM did not engage any compensation consultant to assist with respect to GPM’s 2019 compensation program. GPM did not engage in benchmarking when making executive compensation decisions in 2019.

Compensation Elements

The following is a discussion and analysis of each component of GPM’s executive compensation program:

Base Salary

Annual base salaries compensate the NEOs for fulfilling the requirements of their respective positions and provide them with a predictable and stable level of cash income relative to their total compensation. The Chief Executive Officer reviews executive salary to ensure that GPM remains competitive in attracting and retaining qualified executives. Mr. Bassell received a base salary in 2019 in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. Mr. Bricks’ base salary in 2019 was based upon consideration of the scope of his duties and responsibility associated with his position and such factors as his performance, length of service and experience. The “Summary Compensation Table” and corresponding footnotes to the table show the base salary earned by each NEO during fiscal 2019.

Bonuses

Most of the employees in GPM’s head offices, including the NEOs, are eligible to receive annual bonus payments under GPM’s Corporate Incentive Plan. Payments under the plan are dependent on 1) the level and salary of the employee and 2) GPM’s actual performance in comparison with its budget for the fiscal year. The bonuses are calculated and paid annually. Bonuses are designed to reward employees, including the NEOs, for their contributions to GPM’s financial performance, in accordance with their level and salary.

Base Bonus

Under the 2019 Corporate Incentive Plan, GPM used an internal profit metric as the financial performance metric for corporate-level employee bonuses, including the NEOs, which is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes and further adjusted for certain non-operating and select expense items (the “Budget”). For 2019, GPM’s board of managers established a Budget (the “Budget Goal”). No bonuses were payable to the NEOs under the Corporate Incentive Plan unless GPM achieved a minimum of 95% of the Budget Goal.

The following table shows the threshold and target achievement levels of the Budget Goal for 2019 and the corresponding payout levels to the NEOs. Payout levels between the stated levels of achievement would increase in 10% increments for each additional percentage of the Budget Goal achieved, up to the target level.


Performance Metric	Threshold			Target
Budget		95	%		100	%
Payout Level		50	%		100	%

170

Bonus percentages are based upon GPM’s pay-grade structure which reflects, among other things, differences in base salary, reporting relationships and financial responsibilities. Bonus percentages also reflect the NEO’s ability to directly impact GPM’s profits. For 2019, Messrs. Bassell and Bricks had a target bonus of 25% of their 2019 annual base salary. The bonus amount to be paid to the NEOs was calculated using the following formula:

Base Salary X Target Bonus X Payout Level (%) = Bonus Payout

In 2019, GPM met 79% of the Budget Goal which was below threshold. Therefore, no bonuses were paid under the Corporate Incentive Plan for 2019.

Supplemental Bonus

GPM employees, including the NEOs, have the potential to earn a supplemental bonus equal to what he or she has already earned, as described above, to further reward employees when GPM exceeds certain levels of Budget in a calendar year. A percentage of amounts that exceed the Budget Goal (up to 118% of the Budget Goal) may be shared pro rata among all eligible participants in the Corporate Incentive Plan as provided under such plan. A participant must have earned some base bonus to be eligible to receive a supplemental bonus. As discussed above, in 2019, GPM met 79% of the Budget Goal which was below the threshold. As a result, the NEOs did not receive a supplemental bonus related to 2019 Budget.

Special Performance Bonus

Under the terms of his employment agreement in effect during 2019, Mr. Bassell was entitled to receive a Special Performance Bonus in the amount of $75,000 if GPM’s EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes) exceeded a threshold of $20 million in any calendar year. The bonus was payable quarterly, to the extent GPM was in line to meet such threshold. Beginning in the second quarter of 2017, the annual Special Performance Bonus was increased to $100,000.

In 2019, GPM’s EBITDA exceeded $20 million. As a result, Mr. Bassell received a Special Performance Bonus of $100,000 related to 2019 performance.

Benefits and Perquisites

Employee Benefit Plans

NEOs are eligible to participate in GPM’s employee benefit plans, including GPM’s medical, disability and life insurance plans, in each case, on the same basis as all of its other employees. The employee benefit plans are designed to assist in attracting and retaining skilled employees critical to GPM’s long-term success. GPM also maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its eligible employees, including the NEOs, as discussed below.

401(k) Plan

GPM maintains a retirement savings plan, or 401(k) plan, that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax advantaged basis. Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may defer up to 75% of their compensation subject to applicable annual contribution limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. GPM’s employees’ pre-tax contributions are allocated to each participant’s individual account and participants are immediately and fully vested in their contributions. GPM matches a portion of employee contributions according to the 401(k) plan (subject to Internal Revenue Service limits and non-discrimination testing). For 2019, the matching contribution was 25% of the first 6% of contributions made by the participants for such plan year. For 2020, the matching contribution is 50% of the first 6% of such contributions. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the 401(k) plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan. GPM made matching contributions of $237,000 to the 401(k) Plan during the year ended December 31, 2019.

171

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

GPM offers a select group of management and key employees, including the NEOs, who contribute materially to its continued growth, development and future business success an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation (in the form of salary and bonuses) under its Non-Qualified Plan, or NQP. See “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” for additional information about the NQP and matching contributions made for NEOs.

Pension Benefits

GPM does not maintain any pension benefit or retirement plans other than the 401(k) plan.

Payments to KMG

GPM Management Services Agreement

As discussed above, Mr. Kotler does not receive any compensation, including bonuses, directly from GPM, as his services as Chief Executive Officer of GPM are provided to GPM through KMG pursuant to the GPM Management Services Agreement. Under the GPM Management Services Agreement, for the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019, KMG was entitled to a management fee in the amount of $60,000 per month. In addition, KMG was entitled to receive an annual bonus in accordance with GPM’s Corporate Incentive Plan (described above). The annual bonus which KMG is eligible to receive under the Corporate Incentive Plan cannot exceed six monthly management fee payments. Based on GPM’s financial performance, for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, KMG did not receive a bonus. The GPM Management Services Agreement also requires GPM to reimburse KMG for all out of pocket expenses related

to the activity of GPM.

Profits Participation Agreement

Pursuant to the Profits Participation Agreement, KMG is entitled to an annual net profit participation amount. For the years 2017 through 2019, this amount was calculated as the lower of (i) 3% of GPM’s annual net profit, based on GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, or (ii) $280,000. At the request of KMG, at the end of the first, second and third quarters of each calendar year, GPM pays an advance on the annual net profit participation amount, subject to GPM’s ability to offset any excess amounts from future amounts to which KMG will be entitled. Based on GPM’s financial performance in 2019, KMG was not entitled to an annual profits participation amount for 2019. KMG received $210,000 in advances for 2019, which will be offset against future payments by GPM.

For the years 2020 through 2022, the annual net profit participation amount will be calculated as the higher of (i) 5% of GPM’s annual net profits for such calendar year based on GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements after adjustments as defined below, or (ii) 5% of the positive difference (if any) between the adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Profits Participation Agreement) for such calendar year and the adjusted EBITDA for the prior calendar year, up to an annual maximum amount of $400,000. The Profits Participation Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the GPM Management Services Agreement.

Arko Management Services Agreement

As discussed above, Mr. Kotler does not receive any compensation directly from Arko for his services as Chief Executive Officer of Arko. Mr. Kotler also does not receive any compensation directly from Arko for his

172

services as Chairman of Arko, as these services are provided to Arko through KMG pursuant to the Arko Management Services Agreement. Under the Arko Management Services Agreement, KMG is entitled to a monthly management fee of approximately $5,000, linked to the Consumer Price Index, and to a reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by KMG in connection with the provision of management services. The Arko Management Services Agreement will remain in effect until October 31, 2020 as long as Mr. Kotler continues to serve as Chairman of Arko’s board of directors. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Arko Management Services Agreement (or any extension thereof) will be terminated.

The table below shows the payments received by KMG for services provided by Mr. Kotler to GPM and Arko in 2017, 2018 and 2019. These amounts are included under “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table:

Employment, Severance or Change in Control Agreements

GPM considers maintenance of a strong management team essential to its success. To that end, GPM recognizes that the uncertainty that may exist among management with respect to their “at-will” employment with GPM could result in the departure or distraction of management personnel to the company’s detriment. Accordingly, GPM determined that severance arrangements are appropriate to encourage the continued attention and dedication of certain members of its management team and to allow them to focus on the value to equity holders of strategic alternatives without concern for the impact on their continued employment. See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” for a discussion of certain rights of the NEOs upon termination of their employment or upon the occurrence of certain events.

Pension Benefits Table

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

GPM offers a select group of management and key employees, including its NEOs, who contribute materially to its continued growth, development and future business success an opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation under its NQP. The NQP allows these employees to defer up to 90% of their annual base salary and cash bonuses. Distributions under the NQP begin on a date determined by the board, or a committee appointed by the board (the “committee”), that is within 30 days of the participant’s separation from service, except in the case of specified employees where no distributions will be made until six months after separation from service or, if earlier, the date of the specified employee’s death. Participants may elect to receive deferred amounts in a lump sum or in at least two, but not more than ten, consecutive annual installments. Participants can elect from investment alternatives made available as investment options for their deferred compensation and gains and losses on these investments are credited to their respective accounts.

For each plan year, as determined by the committee, GPM matches up to 25% of the first 6% of contributions made by the participants for such plan year; however, that amount is reduced, dollar for dollar, by the amount of employer matching contributions that GPM contributes to the participant’s 401(k) plan for such plan year. In addition, as determined by the committee, GPM may make additional matching contributions, in its sole discretion, on a participant by participant basis. GPM may also make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account on a participant by participant basis.

Tax rules limit the amount that executives may contribute under the 401(k) plan and therefore also limit the company match under the 401(k) plan for executives. The NQP matching contribution reflects the amount of the matching contribution which is limited by the tax laws.

The following table sets forth non-qualified deferred compensation during the year ended December 31, 2019 for the NEOs set forth below.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

As of December 31, 2019, Mr. Bricks did not have any arrangements with GPM that provided for payments or benefits in the event of termination of employment. Mr. Bassell’s employment agreement which was in effect as of December 31, 2019 provided for certain payments and benefits in the event of certain terminations of employment. The material terms of such arrangements as of December 31, 2019 are described below.

Bassell Previous Employment Agreement

If Mr. Bassell’s employment was terminated by GPM without cause or by Mr. Bassell for good reason, or as a consequence of death or disability, Mr. Bassell was entitled to payment for (i) all accrued and unpaid base

176

salary, accrued and unused vacation time through the termination date, all unreimbursed documented business expenses incurred through the termination date, and payment and/or provision of all vested benefits to which Mr. Bassell may be entitled through the termination date with respect to applicable benefit or incentive compensation plans, policies or programs and (ii) a pro rata portion of Mr. Bassell’s bonus under the Corporate Incentive Plan (if any was due) or Special Performance Bonus (if any was due), payable at the time the bonus or Special Performance Bonus would have been paid to Mr. Bassell had he remained employed through the applicable calendar year. If Mr. Bassell’s employment was terminated due to his voluntary resignation (other than for good reason) or termination by GPM for cause or due to non-extension of the employment agreement by GPM or the executive, he was only entitled to receive his accrued and unpaid base salary through the termination date.

Bassell and Bricks Current Employment Agreements

Mr. Bassell’s amended and restated employment agreement and Mr. Bricks’ employment agreement each provide for certain payments and benefits upon termination of the executive’s employment. The material terms of these arrangements are described below:

•

Termination for any reason. In connection with a termination by GPM for any reason, the executives will be entitled to payment of all accrued and unpaid base salary and quarterly bonus through the termination date, all unreimbursed documented business expenses and other amounts payable under the agreement incurred through the termination date and payment and/or provision of all vested benefits to which the executive may be entitled through the termination date with respect to applicable benefit or incentive compensation plans, policies or programs.

•

Termination for good reason or without cause. In addition to the payments described above, in connection with any termination by GPM without cause or by the executive for good reason (each, as defined below), if the executive’s employment is terminated within five years from the effective date of his employment agreement, and a GPM Sale Payment (as defined below) is not payable in connection with such termination, the executive will be entitled to:

•

A pro rata portion of his bonus (if any is due under the Corporate Incentive Plan); and

•

Payment of base salary for the period commencing on the termination date and ending on the date that is three months from the termination date.

Mr. Bassell’s amended and restated employment agreement and Mr. Bricks’ employment agreement each provide for certain payments and benefits upon occurrence of the following events:

•

IPO. If GPM completes an IPO (as defined below), then the executives will receive equity (or equity-equivalents, such as options) as part of a customary plan for executives created as part of such IPO, subject to the vesting requirements of such plan.

•

Sale of GPM. If GPM sells substantially all of its assets or its equity (each, a “GPM Sale”) prior to the termination of the executive’s employment or, a GPM Sale occurs under a fully executed agreement entered into within 180 days following termination of the executive’s employment by GPM without cause or his resignation for good reason, GPM shall pay an amount as part of a customary plan for executives created as part of the GPM Sale (the “GPM Sale Payment”) to the executives. These amounts will be payable within 60 days following consummation of the GPM Sale. Upon an IPO, the foregoing provision will terminate and such amounts will no longer be payable.

The payments described above under “Sale of GPM” are subject to the executive’s delivery to GPM of an executed release of claims and continued compliance with restrictive covenants regarding confidentiality, proprietary rights, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement. Upon termination of the executive’s employment, the non-solicitation covenant will continue to apply for twelve months. In addition, the non-competition covenant will continue to apply (i) in the case of termination by GPM for cause or by the

177

executive without good reason, for twelve months and (ii) in the case of termination by GPM without cause or by the executive for good reason, for three months.

If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the executive constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would be subject to excise tax, then such payments will be reduced in a manner determined by GPM (by the minimum amounts possible) that is consistent with Section 409A until no amount payable by the executive will be subject to excise tax.

For purposes of the employment agreements:

“Cause” means (i) the board’s reasonable determination that there has been misconduct by the executive that is materially injurious to GPM or that results in the executive’s inability to substantially perform his duties for GPM, (ii) the board’s reasonable determination that the executive failed to carry out or comply with any lawful and reasonable directive of the board or CEO consistent with the terms of his employment agreement, (iii) the executive’s conviction, plea of no contest, plea of nolo contendere, or imposition of unadjudicated probation for any felony or crime involving moral turpitude, (iv) the board’s reasonable determination of the executive’s unlawful use (including being under the influence) or possession of illegal drugs on GPM (or any affiliate’s) premises or while performing the executive’s duties and responsibilities, (v) the executive’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, willful misconduct, or breach of fiduciary duty against GPM or any of its affiliates, other than inadvertent actions or actions that are not materially injurious to GPM, (vi) the executive’s material violation of any provision of his employment agreement, any other written agreement between GPM and the executive, or any material GPM policy, (vii) the executive’s willful and prolonged, and unexcused absence from work (other than by reason of disability due to physical or mental illness), or (viii) the board’s reasonable determination of any unlawful act or breach of GPM policy, discrimination or harassment against another GPM employee or any affiliated or related company of GPM.

“Good Reason” means, if such event occurs without the executive’s consent in writing, (i) a material diminution in the nature or scope of the executive’s responsibilities, authorities, title or duties, (ii) a material reduction in the executive’s annual base salary from the annual base salary in effect in the immediately prior year, (iii) a reduction in the quarterly bonus, (iv) GPM materially violating any of its material obligations to the executive under the agreement, or (v) GPM requiring the executive to permanently relocate more than 100 miles from Richmond, Virginia. However, “Good Reason” will only exist if the executive gives GPM notice within 30 days after the first occurrence of any of the foregoing events, GPM fails to correct the matter within 30 days following receipt of such notice and the executive actually terminates employment within 90 days following the expiration of GPM’s 30-day cure period. If the executive does not so terminate, any claim of such circumstances of “Good Reason” shall be deemed irrevocably waived by the executive.

“IPO” means (i) an initial public offering and sale of any securities of GPM pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act the issuer of which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, (ii) a transaction pursuant to which GPM merges with or into a direct or indirect subsidiary of, or effects a share exchange with, an issuer subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements (including, a transaction with a special purpose acquisition company), following which, holders of the securities of GPM prior to such transaction receive as consideration equity securities of such issuer, (iii) the registration of any securities of GPM under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

Potential Payments Upon Termination

The estimated payment that would have been provided to Mr. Bassell, pursuant to his employment agreement, as a result of termination by GPM without cause or by Mr. Bassell for good reason, or in the case of death or disability was $100,000. This represents the bonus under the Corporate Incentive Plan and Special Performance Bonus payable when, and to the extent that, they would have been paid had Mr. Bassell’s employment not terminated. The amount reflects the Special Performance Bonus earned by Mr. Bassell for 2019. Mr. Bassell did not receive a bonus under the Corporate Incentive Plan for 2019.

178

As discussed above, as of December 31, 2019, Mr. Bricks did not have any arrangements with GPM that provided for payments or benefits in the event of termination of employment.

Upon termination of Mr. Kotler’s services to GPM, KMG will be entitled to receive management fees, annual bonus and reimbursements, in accordance with the GPM Management Services Agreement. KMG will also be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of net profits participation amounts, if any, based on the number of days services were performed by Mr. Kotler.

Other Change in Control Payments

In addition to the amounts set forth in the table below, in the event of a change in control event (as defined in the NQP), the value of the participant’s account will be distributed as a lump sum payment to the participant not more than 90 days following the change in control event. The amounts that would have been accelerated in the event of a change in control are shown in the “Aggregate Balance at Last Fiscal Year-End” column of the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table.

Director Compensation

GPM did not pay its directors any compensation for serving on the board of managers during 2019.

ARKO MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Arko Holdings Ltd. included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

For purposes of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Arko Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Overview

ARKO Holdings Ltd. is a public company incorporated in Israel, whose securities are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. Our primary activity is holding the controlling equity interest in GPM Investments, LLC (“GPM” including companies wholly owned and fully controlled by GPM). GPM is a Delaware limited liability company engaged directly and through wholly owned and controlled (directly or indirectly) subsidiaries in retail activity which includes the operation of a chain of convenience stores, most of which offer for sale retail motor fuel, and in wholesale activity which includes the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third parties (dealers).

As of June 30, 2020, GPM, the seventh largest convenience store chain in the United States ranked by store count, operated 1,266 retail convenience stores. GPM operates its stores under 16 regional store brands including 1-Stop, Admiral, Apple Market^®, BreadBox, E-Z Mart^®, fas mart^®, Jiffi Stop^®, Li’l Cricket, Next Door Store^®, Roadrunner Markets, Rstore, Scotchman^®, shore stop^®, Town Star, Village Pantry^® and Young’s. GPM also supplies fuel to 127 dealer-operated gas stations. GPM is well diversified across 23 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States.

As of June 30, 2020, GPM owned 216 properties including 182 company-operated sites, 14 consignment agent locations, and 20 lessee-dealer sites. Additionally, GPM has long-term control over a leased portfolio comprising 1,142 locations. Of the leased properties, 1,084 are company-operated stores, 24 are consignment agent locations, and 34 are lessee-dealer sites. For GPM’s leased sites, approximately 780 sites have at least 20 years remaining, in each case assuming all extension options are exercised.

GPM derives its revenue from the retail sale of fuel and the products and services offered in its stores, and to a lesser degree the wholesale distribution of fuel. The stores offer a wide array of cold and hot foodservice, beverages, cigarettes and other tobacco products, grocery, beer and general merchandise. GPM offers foodservice at 309 company-operated stores. The foodservice category includes hot and fresh foods, deli, bakery, pizza, roller grill and other prepared foods. In addition, GPM has 73 branded quick service restaurants consisting of major national brands. Additionally, GPM provides a number of traditional convenience store services that generate additional income including lottery, prepaid products, money orders, ATMs, gaming, and other ancillary product and service offerings. GPM also generates car wash revenue at approximately 80 of its locations.

Approximately 89% of GPM’s retail locations sell branded fuel. GPM’s branded fuel is primarily sold under the Valero^®, Marathon^®, BP^® and Shell^® brand names. GPM is the largest distributor of Valero branded motor fuel on the East Coast and the third largest distributor of Valero branded motor fuel in the United States. In addition to driving customer traffic, GPM’s management believes GPM’s branded fuel strategy enables it to maintain a secure fuel supply. A limited number of stores do not sell fuel.

180

Trends Impacting Our Business

GPM has achieved strong store growth over the last several years, primarily by implementing a highly successful acquisition strategy. Since 2013, GPM has completed 17 acquisitions. As a result, GPM’s store count has grown from 320 sites in 2011 to 1,393 sites as of June 30, 2020. These strategic acquisitions have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on the reported results and can make period to period comparisons of results difficult. GPM completed three acquisitions in 2019 for a total of 87 sites, including 64 sites acquired in December 2019 (collectively, the “2019 acquisitions”), three acquisitions in 2018 for a total of 289 sites, including 273 sites from the E-Z Mart acquisition in April 2018 (collectively, the “2018 acquisitions”), and two acquisitions in 2017 for a total of 106 sites, including 99 sites from the Roadrunner acquisition in April 2017 (collectively, the “2017 acquisitions”). In addition, in December 2019, GPM entered into an agreement to acquire the business of Empire Petroleum Partners, LLC, or Empire, which is expected to close in early October 2020. Empire directly operates approximately 75 convenience stores and supplies fuel to approximately 1,500 independently operated fueling stations in 30 states and the District of Columbia. Upon the closing of the proposed transaction with Empire, GPM will operate stores or supply fuel in 33 states and the District of Columbia. With our achievement of significant size and scale, GPM believes that its organic growth strategy, including refreshing and modeling its store base and implementing company-wide marketing and merchandising initiatives, will add significant value to the assets it has acquired. We believe that this complementary strategy will help further our growth through both acquisitions and organically and improve our results of operations.

There is an ongoing trend in the convenience store industry of companies concentrating on increasing and improving in-store foodservice offerings, including fresh foods, quick service restaurants or proprietary food offerings. We believe consumers may become more likely to patronize convenience stores that include such food offerings, which may also lead to increased inside merchandise sales or fuel sales for such stores. GPM’s current foodservice offering primarily consists of hot and fresh foods, deli, bakery, pizza, roller grill and other prepared foods. GPM has historically relied upon franchised quick service restaurants to drive customer traffic rather than a proprietary foodservice offering. As a result, GPM’s management believes that its under-penetration of proprietary foodservice presents an opportunity to expand foodservice offerings and margin. In addition, GPM’s management believes that continued investment in new technology platforms and applications to adapt to evolving consumer eating preferences including contactless checkout, order ahead service, and delivery will further drive growth in profitability.

Our operations are significantly impacted by the retail fuel margins we receive on gallons sold. While we expect our total fuel sales volumes to remain stable over time and the fuel margins we realize on those sales to remain strong, these fuel margins can change rapidly as they are influenced by many factors including: the price of refined products, interruptions in supply caused by severe weather, severe refinery mechanical failures for an extended period of time, and competition in the local markets in which we operate.

The cost of our main sales products, gasoline and diesel, is greatly impacted by the wholesale cost of fuel in the United States. We attempt to pass along wholesale fuel cost changes to our customers through retail price changes; however, we are not always able to do so. The timing of any related increase or decrease in retail prices is affected by competitive conditions. As a result, we tend to experience lower fuel margins when the cost of fuel is increasing gradually over a longer period and higher fuel margins when the cost of fuel is declining or more volatile over a shorter period of time. Also, rising prices tend to cause our customers to reduce discretionary fuel consumption, which tends to reduce our fuel sales volumes.

GPM also operates in a highly competitive retail convenience market, which includes businesses with operations and services that are similar to those that are provided by GPM, primarily the sale of convenience items and motor fuels. GPM faces significant competition from other large chain operators. In particular, large convenience store chains have expanded their number of locations and remodeled their existing locations in recent years, enhancing their competitive position. GPM’s management also believes that convenience stores

181

managed by individual operators who offer branded or non-branded fuel are also significant competitors in the market. The convenience store industry is also experiencing competition from other retail sectors including grocery stores, large warehouse retail stores, dollar stores and pharmacies.

GPM’s management believes that the following competitive strengths differentiate GPM from its competitors and will contribute to its continued success:

•

Leading Market Position in Highly Attractive, Diversified and Contiguous Markets.

•

Entrenched Local Brands with Scale of Large Store Portfolio.

•

Retail/Wholesale Business Model Generating Stable and Diversified Cash Flow.

•

Experienced Management with Significant Ownership.

•

Strong Balance Sheet with Capacity to Execute Growth Strategy.

•

Flexibility to Address Consumers Changing Needs.

•

Real-time Fuel Pricing Analysis.

•

Robust Embedded EBITDA Opportunities, Including a Platform-Wide Store Refresh Program.

In addition to these competitive strengths, as discussed elsewhere in this document, GPM’s management believes that the Company has a significant opportunity to increase its sales and profitability by continuing to execute its operating strategy, growing its store base in existing and contiguous markets through acquisition, and enhancing the performance of current stores.

Business Highlights

The 2019 fiscal year was greatly impacted by the benefits of the 2019 acquisitions and 2018 acquisitions. However, a decrease in fuel margin at same stores (as defined below), primarily due to market variables in the fourth quarter of 2019, offset some of these benefits. Additionally, during 2019, we invested in personnel to drive our marketing and merchandising initiatives and grew our organization to support the newest acquisitions.

The 2018 fiscal year also significantly benefited from the acquisitions we consummated in both 2018 and 2017. Contrary to 2019, an increase in fuel margins at same stores benefited the current year results, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2018. As we changed our marketing strategy to offer cigarettes at more competitive prices to enhance customer traffic, our merchandise margin at same stores was pressured, which combined with higher expenses at same stores in 2018.

Although the impact of COVID-19 reduced gallons sold in the second quarter of 2020, higher fuel margins compared to the same period in 2019 benefited results, partly due to a more favorable commodity cost backdrop through April 2020 along with less competitive pricing pressure on fuel. Increased merchandise contribution at same stores combined with a reduction in expenses also positively impacted 2020. The 2019 acquisitions contributed to the increase in 2020. As compared to the second quarter of 2019, we increased general and administrative expenses to support the recent acquisitions and increased our incentive accruals due to the strong results. These same trends drove the improved results in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019.

Description of Segments

Our reportable segments are described below.

Retail Segment

The retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores which include convenience stores selling fuel products and other merchandise to retail customers. At our convenience stores, we own the merchandise and fuel inventory and employ personnel to manage the store.

182

Wholesale Segment

The wholesale segment supplies fuel to independent dealers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For consignment arrangements, we retain ownership of the fuel inventory at the site, and are responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and share a portion of the gross profit with the consignment operators.

GPMP Segment

The GPMP segment includes GPM Petroleum LP (“GPMP”) and primarily includes the sale and supply of fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries selling fuel (both in the Retail and Wholesale segments) at GPMP’s cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018

For the year ended December 31, 2019, fuel revenue decreased by $31.1 million, or 1.1%, compared to 2018. The decrease in fuel revenue was attributable to the decrease in the average retail price of fuel in 2019 as compared to 2018, which was partially offset by greater gallons sold primarily due to the 2019 acquisitions and 2018 acquisitions.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, merchandise revenue increased by $93.8 million, or 7.3%, compared to 2018, primarily due to the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions and an increase in same store merchandise revenue.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, other revenue increased by $1.1 million over 2018 primarily related to the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, total operating expenses increased by $84.1 million, or 2.1%, compared to 2018. Fuel costs decreased $34.8 million, or 1.4%, compared to 2018, primarily due to fuel sold at a lower average price which was partially offset by higher volumes. Merchandise costs increased $67.0 million, or 7.2%, compared to 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, store operating expenses increased $36.1 million, or 7.7%, compared to 2018 primarily due to incremental expenses coming from the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions. General and administrative expenses in 2019 increased $7.3 million, or 11.8%, compared to 2018, primarily due to incremental headcount and related benefits to support organizational growth arising from the E-Z Mart acquisition, other personnel investments and annual wage increases. For the year ended December 31, 2019, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $8.6 million, or 16.0%, over 2018, primarily due to assets acquired during 2018 and 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, other expenses (income), net increased by $14.3 million over 2018 primarily due to a $24.0 million gain on bargain purchase recognized in 2018 as a result of the E-Z Mart acquisition and an increase in losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges of $3.2 million, offset by a decrease in acquisition costs of $1.8 million and a gain on sale-leaseback of $6.0 million recognized in 2019.

Operating income was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $35.9 million in 2018, primarily due to increased general, administrative, depreciation and amortization expenses and the reduction in other income associated with the $24.0 million gain on bargain purchase in 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest and other financing expenses, net increased by $21.9 million compared to 2018. The increase was primarily related to $10.2 million in foreign currency losses recorded in 2019 compared to $9.2 million in foreign currency gains recorded in 2018 and greater debt outstanding in 2019.

184

For the year ended December 31, 2019, income tax expense was approximately $6.2 million compared to an income tax benefit of approximately $7.9 million in 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was $78.2 million compared to $81.8 million for 2018. The 2019 and 2018 acquisitions contributed approximately $7 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA in 2019, not including incremental general and administrative expenses associated with these acquisitions. These increases were offset by an approximately $9.0 million decrease in fuel margin at same stores in 2019 primarily due to market variables in the fourth quarter of 2019. Investments in personnel to support marketing and merchandising initiatives and organizational growth arising from acquisitions also reduced Adjusted EDITDA in 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017

For the year ended December 31, 2018, fuel revenue increased by $767.6 million, or 39.0%, compared to 2017. The increase in fuel revenue was attributable to the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions and an increase in the average retail price of fuel in 2018 as compared to 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, merchandise revenue increased by $249.8 million, or 24.2%, compared to 2017, primarily due to the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions and an increase in same store merchandise revenue.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, other revenue increased by $6.3 million over 2017 primarily related to the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, total operating expenses increased by $1,024.5 million, or 34.0%, compared to 2017 as a result of the 2018 acquisitions. Fuel costs increased $721.3 million, or 40.2%, compared to 2017 due to fuel sold at a higher average cost which combined with higher volumes. Merchandise costs increased $183.2 million, or 24.3%, compared to 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, store operating expenses increased $93.0 million, or 24.6%, compared to 2017 primarily due to incremental expenses coming from the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions and an increase in expenses at same stores. General and administrative expenses increased $11.4 million, or 22.5% over 2017, primarily due to incremental headcount and related benefits to support organizational growth arising from the acquisitions, primarily the Roadrunner and E-Z Mart acquisitions, and additional administrative personnel for new positions for marketing and operational initiatives. For the year ended December 31, 2018, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $15.6 million, or 40.9% over 2017, primarily due to assets acquired during 2018 and 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, other expenses (income), net decreased by $15.7 million primarily due to the $24.0 million gain on bargain purchase as a result of the E-Z Mart acquisition, which was offset by an increase in acquisition expenses of $2.5 million, approximately $1.0 million of losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges, and the net amount of approximately $2.0 million related to the pension fund claim.

Operating income was $35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $20.9 million in 2017, primarily due to the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions, particularly the Roadrunner and E-Z Mart acquisitions, along with the $24.0 million gain on bargain purchase in 2018 which was offset by increased general and administrative expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, interest and other financing expenses, net decreased by $9.5 million compared to 2017 primarily related to $9.2 million in foreign currency gains recorded in 2018 compared to $7.9 million in foreign currency losses recorded in 2017, which was offset by additional interest expense due to greater debt outstanding in 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $7.9 million compared to $9.7 million in 2017. The income tax benefit recorded in 2018 included a tax benefit due to the tax

185

treatment of the cancellation of the Midwest Seller Note. Without this tax benefit there was a decrease in the income tax benefit between 2018 and 2017, which was primarily a result of the reduction in the federal income tax rate due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was $81.8 million compared to $66.2 million for 2017. The 2018 and 2017 acquisitions contributed approximately $37 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA in 2018, not including incremental general and administrative expenses arising from these acquisitions. Increased fuel margins at same stores, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2018, also increased Adjusted EBITDA in 2019. These increases were partially offset by higher expenses at same stores as well as our strategy to offer cigarettes at more competitive prices to enhance customer traffic, which pressured merchandise margin at same stores.

For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018

Retail Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2019, fuel revenue in the retail segment decreased by $20.6 million, 0.8%, compared to 2018. The 2019 and 2018 acquisitions contributed an additional 85.5 million gallons sold. However,

186

gallons sold at same stores were down approximately 1.8%, or 17.0 million gallons, primarily due to market conditions (particularly in the fourth quarter of 2019) and GPM’s strategy to maximize fuel gross profit at the expense of gallons. Additionally, retail stores closed to optimize profitability negatively impacted gallons sold. The decrease in fuel revenue was also attributable to a $0.16 per gallon decrease in the average retail price of fuel in 2019 as compared to 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, merchandise revenue increased by $93.8 million, or 7.3%, compared to 2018. The 2019 and 2018 acquisitions contributed an additional $106 million. Same store merchandise revenue increased $12.1 million, or 1.0%, primarily due to higher other tobacco products revenue given an increase in demand, as well as higher packaged beverages, beer and wine revenue following benefits from the loyalty program, planogram initiatives and the strategy to lower cigarette prices to enhance customer traffic. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in merchandise revenue from underperforming stores closed or converted to dealer-owned sites.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, other revenue increased by $1.8 million over 2018 primarily related to the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions.

Retail Operating Income

For the year ended December 31, 2019, fuel margin increased compared to 2018 primarily related to incremental fuel gross margin of $14.8 million from the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions. In comparison to 2018, same store fuel margin decreased $9.0 million. Fuel margin per gallon at same stores was lower than 2018 at 21.2 cents per gallon compared to 21.8 cents per gallon, primarily due to market variables in the fourth quarter of 2019.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, merchandise contribution increased $26.8 million, or 7.8%, compared to 2018 and overall merchandise margin was 27.1% compared to 27.0% in 2018. The increase was primarily due to incremental contribution of $29 million from the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions. Merchandise margin at same stores was 26.7% in 2019 compared to 26.8% in 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, store operating expenses increased $29.9 million, or 6.4%, compared to 2018 primarily due to incremental expenses coming from the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions. Store operating expenses were also reduced from underperforming stores closed or converted to dealer-owned sites.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017

Retail Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2018, fuel revenue increased by $736.4 million, or 40.4%, compared to 2017. The 2018 and 2017 acquisitions contributed an additional 212 million gallons sold. However, gallons sold at same stores were down approximately 2.3%, or 17.8 million gallons, primarily due to higher fuel prices as compared to 2017 and the Company’s strategy to maximize fuel gross profit at the expense of gallons. Additionally, retail stores closed to optimize profitability negatively impacted gallons sold. The increase in fuel revenue was also attributable to a $0.32 per gallon increase in the average retail price of fuel in 2018 as compared to 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, merchandise revenue increased by $249.8 million, or 24.2%, compared to 2017. The 2018 and 2017 acquisitions contributed an additional $265 million. Same store merchandise revenue increased $13.0 million, or 1.3%, primarily due to the strategy to lower cigarette prices to enhance customer traffic. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in merchandise revenue from underperforming stores closed or converted to dealer-owned sites.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, other revenue increased by $5.2 million over 2017 primarily related to the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions.

187

Retail Operating Income

For the year ended December 31, 2018, fuel margin increased compared to 2017 as the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions contributed $40 million of incremental profit. Fuel margin per gallon at same stores was higher in 2018 at 22.3 cents per gallon compared to 20.7 cents per gallon in 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, merchandise contribution increased $66.6 million, or 23.9%, compared to 2017 and merchandise margin was 27.0% in both years. The increase was primarily due to incremental contribution of $79.6 million from the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions. Merchandise margin at same stores decreased to 25.9% in 2018 compared to 27.1% in 2017, primarily due to lower cigarette pricing to enhance customer traffic.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, store operating expenses increased $93.6 million, or 25.2%, over 2017 primarily due to incremental expenses coming from 2018 and 2017 acquisitions and an increase in expenses at same stores attributable to higher credit card fees as a result of the higher average retail price of fuel.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

The period to period comparisons of our results of operations have been prepared using the historical periods included in our interim consolidated financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this document. We have derived this data from our interim consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

COVID-19

An outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since the second half of March 2020, the pandemic has caused the issuance of orders in the U.S. by the federal government, as well as governments of states and localities within the U.S., in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus (such as restrictions on gathering and the closure of certain businesses).

During this period, GPM’s convenience stores and independent outside operations continue to operate and remain open to the public as convenience store operations and gas stations are deemed essential businesses by numerous federal and state authorities, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and therefore are exempt from many of the restrictions that were, or are currently, imposed on the activity of U.S. businesses. Commencing in May 2020, various states and localities began to gradually ease their stay-at-home orders and the orders requiring certain types of businesses to be closed. In addition, during this period, the supply of products and gas to GPM’s convenience stores and gas stations has continued without any material interruption. During this period, there were positive impacts on the Company’s results of operations as measured regularly on the basis of the segment operating income.

190

This increase in segment operating income was principally due to the significant increase in the fuel margin, which partially resulted from the material drop in fuel costs commencing at the beginning of March 2020 and continuing through the end of April 2020, despite the material reduction in the amount of gallons sold in the gas stations as a result of COVID-19 beginning in the second half of March 2020. Although fuel costs began to gradually increase in May 2020, fuel margin remained at higher levels than those achieved historically. Further, beginning in May 2020, stay-at-home orders began to be eased which resulted in an increase in the amount of gallons sold compared to prior weeks.

In light of the reduction in the amount of gallons sold, GPM’s principal fuel suppliers have temporarily revoked (for periods that vary among the different suppliers) the requirements under their agreements to purchase minimum quantities of gallons, including such requirements under the incentive agreements from such suppliers. As of June 30, 2020, the reduction in gallons sold does not affect GPM’s compliance with its commitments under the agreements with its principal suppliers.

During the second half of March 2020, there was a reduction in the merchandise revenue from GPM’s convenience stores and in the gross margin rate from such revenues. However, from the beginning of April 2020 and continuing into the third quarter of 2020, GPM experienced growth in merchandise revenue and gross margin rate from such revenues as a result of shifting consumer demand from other retail channels to convenience stores and the continued increase in revenues for products in high demand, such as face masks and hand sanitizers. As a result, the Company does not expect a material adverse impact from the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations from merchandise revenues in the current year.

Through the second half of 2020, as states and localities continue to gradually ease their stay-at-home orders and the orders requiring certain types of businesses to be closed, GPM expects to continue the gradual increase in the amount of gallons sold and the increasing trend in merchandise revenues from the convenience stores. GPM estimates that such increase in the gallons sold and taking into account the increase in fuel costs will result in a gradual decrease in fuel margin.

The Company estimates that the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operations as described above is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its medium or long-term results of operations. However, since this is an event that is characterized by great uncertainty, as well as rapid and frequent changes, among other things, in connection with the pace of limiting the spread of the pandemic and the future measures that will be taken in order to prevent it from spreading, the Company cannot forecast nor estimate the entire impact of the pandemic on its business operations or results of operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, fuel revenue decreased by $395.0 million, or 39.3%, compared to the first half of 2019. The decrease in fuel revenue was attributable to a decrease in the average retail price of fuel in 2020 as compared to 2019 and a decrease in gallons sold.

199

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, other revenues, net were $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

GPMP Operating Income

Fuel margin decreased by $3.1 million in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019 due to fewer gallons sold to GPM at a fixed margin.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, total general, administrative, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.9 million compared to the first half of 2019, primarily due to depreciation and amortization expenses for assets acquired in the previous 12 months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions, and to service debt. GPM finances its inventory purchases primarily from normal trade credit aided by relatively rapid inventory turnover. This turnover allows us to conduct operations without large amounts of cash and working capital. We have relied principally on internally generated cash flows, borrowings and equity contributions to satisfy our capital expenditure requirements.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as make acquisitions, will depend on our future operating performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. In addition, any of the items discussed in detail under “Risk Factors” may also significantly impact our liquidity.

In February 2020, we entered into a financing agreement with Ares Capital Management (“Ares”) which allowed us to repay the outstanding long-term debt with PNC Bank and provided us additional financing to be used to finance future acquisitions. Additionally, the Ares financing agreement has an 1% annual amortization which provides us additional liquidity for our capital needs.

As of June 30, 2020, we were in a strong liquidity position, including the ability to adequately fund the repayments of the Bonds (Series C), as we had approximately $150 million of cash and no borrowings under our line of credit with PNC Bank.

To date, we have funded capital expenditures primarily through funds generated from operations, funds received from vendors, sale-leaseback transactions, issuance of debt and existing cash. Future capital required to finance operations, acquisitions, and raze and remodel stores is expected to come from cash generated by operations, availability under lines of credit, and additional long-term debt as circumstances may dictate. In the future, our capital spending program will be primarily focused on expanding our store base through acquisitions, razing and remodeling stores, and maintaining our owned properties and equipment, including upgrading all fuel dispensers to be EMV-compliant. The estimated gross cost of these upgrades is approximately $30 million, of which a portion will be offset by fuel supplier incentive programs and the remainder is expected to be financed with leasing companies. We do not expect such capital needs to adversely affect liquidity.

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operations are our main source of liquidity. We have historically relied primarily on cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary from time to time by borrowings on our credit facilities and other debt or equity transactions to finance our operations and to fund our capital expenditures. Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily impacted by our net income and changes in working capital.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows provided by operating activities was $43.3 million compared to $58.5 million for 2018. The 2019 decrease was primarily due to higher interest and tax payments and the impact of the 2019 acquisitions on working capital which were partially offset by an increase in segment operating income, including the benefit of the 2019 and 2018 acquisitions.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, cash flows provided by operating activities was $58.5 million compared to $27.5 million for 2017. The 2018 increase was primarily the result of an increase in segment operating income, including the benefit of the 2018 and 2017 acquisitions, which was offset by higher interest payments and lower funds received from vendors in 2018 as compared to 2017.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities primarily reflect capital expenditures for acquisitions and replacing and maintaining existing facilities and equipment used in the business.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $31.6 million, to $73.0 million from $104.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we spent $58.3 million for capital expenditures, including purchasing certain fee properties and building a Dunkin’ site, and $33.6 million for 2019 acquisitions, which was offset by $19.0 million in proceeds primarily from a sale-leaseback transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we spent $51.6 million for capital expenditures and $71.4 million for 2018 acquisitions. These outflows were offset by a $16.6 million decrease in designated cash generated from a sale-leaseback transaction which was used for the 2018 E-Z Mart acquisition.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of increases and decreases in our line of credit and debt and distributions to non-controlling interests.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds of $66.9 million from long-term debt and lines of credit, payment of $17.5 million for the pension provision,

201

repayments of $9.1 million for financing leases and $8.7 million in distributions to non-controlling interests. For the year ended December 31, 2018, financing activities consisted primarily of $59.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of Bonds (Series C), net proceeds of $3.7 million from long-term debt and lines of credit, repayments of $8.4 million for capital leases and $8.7 million in distributions to non-controlling interests.

Operating Activities

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, cash flows provided by operating activities was $78.0 million compared to $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2019. The 2020 increase was primarily the result of an increase in segment operating income, including from 2019 acquisitions, tax refunds and longer payment terms with key suppliers.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash flows provided by operating activities was $101.9 million compared to $20.1 million for the first half of 2019. The 2020 increase was primarily the result of an increase in segment operating income and longer payment terms with key suppliers which was partially offset by higher tax and interest payments.

Investing Activities

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, cash used for investing activities decreased by $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we spent $8.4 million for capital expenditures, including a new Dunkin’ location. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we spent $7.6 million for capital expenditures and $2.6 million for an acquisition, which was partially offset by proceeds from sale of property and equipment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash used for investing activities increased by $2.9 million from the comparable period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used $20.5 million of capital expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used $17.9 million for capital expenditures, including purchasing certain fee properties and building a Dunkin’ site, and $2.8 million for an acquisition, which was partially offset by proceeds from sale of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, financing activities consisted primarily of net payments of $56.4 million for long-term debt and lines of credit, repayments of $2.0 million for financing leases, net proceeds from issuance of rights of $11.3 million, buyback of long-term debt of $2.0 million and $2.4 million in

202

distributions to non-controlling interests. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, financing activities consisted primarily of net payments of $0.2 million from long-term debt and lines of credit, repayments of $1.8 million for financing leases and $2.2 million in distributions to non-controlling interests.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds of $14.7 million from long-term debt and lines of credit, repayments of $4.2 million for financing leases, net proceeds from issuance of rights of $11.3 million, investment of non-controlling interest in subsidiary of $19.3 million, buyback of long-term debt of $2.0 million and $4.7 million in distributions to non-controlling interests.

Credit Facilities

PNC Bank

GPM, certain other fully owned subsidiaries and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) have entered into financing agreements between the parties (the “PNC Credit Line Agreement”) consisting of one credit line in the amount of up to $110 million (the “PNC Line of Credit”), which, at the request of GPM can be increased up to $150 million, subject to PNC’s discretion.

The PNC Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPM at: (a) LIBOR as defined in the PNC Credit Line Agreement plus a margin of 1.75% or (b) a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.5%, which is equal to the greatest of (i) the PNC base rate, (ii) the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0%, subject to the definitions set in the agreement. Beginning in April 2020, every quarter the LIBOR margin rate and the alternate base rate margin rate is updated based on the quarterly average undrawn availability of the line of credit.

The calculation of the availability under the line of credit is determined monthly subject to terms and limitations as set forth in the PNC Credit Line Agreement, taking into account the balances of receivables, inventory and letters of credit, among other things. As of June 30, 2020, the unused availability under the PNC Line of Credit was $89.7 million.

Capital One

GPMP entered into a credit agreement for a revolving credit facility with a syndication of banks led by Capital One, National Association (the “Capital One Credit Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million (the “Capital One Line of Credit”). The Capital One Credit Facility is available for general partnership purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions.

On April 1, 2020, GPMP entered into an amendment whereby the Capital One Line of Credit was increased from $300 million to $500 million, which is contingent upon the completion of the acquisition from Empire without any material changes affecting the lenders. The increased availability will remain in effect until no later than December 31, 2020 and will be canceled if the acquisition from Empire has not been consummated as of such date or is financed using other sources.

At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $700 million, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain items detailed in the Capital One Line of Credit.

The Capital One Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPMP at: (a) LIBOR as defined in the Capital One Line of Credit plus a margin of 2.25% to 3.25% or (b) a rate per annum equal to base rate plus a margin of

203

1.25% to 2.25%, which is equal to the greatest of (i) Capital One’s prime rate, (ii) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, and (iii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, subject to the definitions set in the agreement. The margin is determined according to a formula in the Capital One Line of Credit that depends on the leverage level of GPMP.

As of June 30, 2020, the unused availability under the Capital One Line of Credit was $251.7 million out of a total of $300 million.

Bonds (Series C)

In 2016, the Company issued NIS 138,337,000 (approximately $35.6 million) par value of bonds (Series C) followed by two expansions of $9.8 million and $59.9 million in 2017 and 2018, respectively (the “Bonds (Series C)”). The Bonds (Series C) bear a fixed annual interest rate of 4.85% and are not linked (principal and interest) to any index. The principal of Bonds (Series C) is payable in eight annual installments on June 30 of each year from 2017 through 2024, as follows: the first payment was paid in 2017 at an amount equal to 5% of the principal; each of the second to seventh payments between 2018 through 2023 is at an amount equal to 10% of the principal and the last payment that will be paid in 2024 at an amount equal to 35% of the principal. As of June 30, 2020, the outstanding balance of the Bonds (Series C) was $71.2 million.

The interest on the Bonds (Series C) is paid in equal semi-annual installments at a rate of 2.425% on June 30 and December 31 of each year from 2017 through 2023 and on June 30, 2024.

Debt Ratings

As of December, 31, 2019, GPM’s credit was rated “A3.il” with a stable outlook rating by Midroog Ltd. (“Midroog”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. but with its own independent ratings and procedures. According to a rating review report published in September 2020, GPM’s credit was rated “A3.il” with a stable outlook.

In February 2018, Midroog published, for the first time, its rating for the Bonds (Series C) as A3.il with a stable outlook rating. According to a rating review report published in September 2020, the Bonds (Series C) are rated “A3.il” with a stable outlook.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We define EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding the gain or loss on disposal of assets, impairment charges, acquisition costs, other non-cash items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA are presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for operational and financial decision-making and believe these measures are useful in eliminating certain items to focus on what we deem to be indicators of operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by many of our investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating operational and financial performance as well as debt service capabilities. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of key measures that we use internally for operational decision-making, budgeting, evaluating acquisition targets, and assessing store performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow statement data. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of these non-GAAP financial measures with those used by other companies.

(a)

Eliminates the non-cash portion of rent, which reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeds (or is less than) our cash rent payments. The GAAP rent expense adjustment can vary depending on the terms of our lease portfolio, which has been impacted by our recent acquisitions. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, while for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.

(b)	Eliminates amortization of favorable and unfavorable lease assets and liabilities.

(c)	Eliminates costs incurred that are directly attributable to historical business acquisitions and salaries of employees whose primary job function is to execute the Company’s acquisition strategy and facilitate integration of acquired operations.

(d)	Eliminates the gains on bargain purchase recognized as a result of the Town Star acquisition in 2019 and E-Z Mart acquisition in 2018.

(e)

Eliminates the non-cash (gain) loss from the sale of property and equipment, the gain recognized upon the sale of related leased assets, including $6.0 million related to the sale of eight stores in 2019, and amortization of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions in 2018 and 2017 and impairment charges on property and equipment and right-of-use assets related to closed and non-performing stores.

(f)	Eliminates non-cash share-based compensation expense related to the ongoing equity incentive program in place to incentivize, retain, and motivate our employees and officers.

(g)	Eliminates the Company’s share of loss attributable to its unconsolidated equity investment as discussed in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(h)	Eliminates non-beneficial cost related to potential initial public offering of master limited partnership.

(i)	Eliminates the impact of mainly timing differences related to amounts paid in settlement of the pension fund claim filed against the Company, as discussed in Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

206

(j)	Eliminates the one-time expense associated with our global merchandising optimization efforts.

(k)	Eliminates the payment of historical fuel tax liabilities owed for multiple prior periods.

(l)	Eliminates other unusual or non-recurring items that management does not consider to be meaningful in assessing operating performance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or other financing activities with special-purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Critical accounting policies are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Application of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”)

The lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are significantly impacted by the following:

•

Our determination of whether it is reasonably certain that an extension option will be exercised.

•

Our determination of whether it is reasonably certain a purchase option will be exercised.

•

Some of the lease agreements include an increase in the consumer price index coupled with a multiplier and a percentage increase cap effectively assures the cap will be reached each year. We determine, based on past experience and consumer price index increase expectations, if these types of variable payments are in-substance fixed payments and if they are determined to be in-substance fixed payments, such payments are included in the lease payments and measurement of the lease liabilities.

•

The discount rates used in the calculations of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are based on our incremental borrowing rates and are primarily affected by economic environment, differences in the duration of each lease and the nature of the leased asset.

Environmental provision and reimbursement assets

We estimate the anticipated environmental costs with respect to contamination arising from the operation of gasoline marketing operations and the use of underground storage tanks as well as the costs of other exposures and recognize a liability when these losses are anticipated and can be reasonably estimated. Reimbursement for these expenses from various state underground storage tank trust funds or from insurance companies is recognized as an asset and included in other current assets or non-current assets, as appropriate. The scope of the reimbursement asset and liability is estimated by a third party at least twice a year and adjustments are made according to past experience, changing conditions and changes in governmental policies.

Liability for dismantling and removing underground storage tanks and restoring the site on which the underground storage tanks are located

The liability is based on estimates of management with respect to the external costs which will be necessary to remove the underground storage tanks in the future, regulatory requirements, discount rate and an estimate of the length of the useful life of the underground storage tanks.

207

Property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets

We evaluate property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. When evaluating for impairment, we first compare the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, we determine if we have an impairment loss by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis and is depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life.

Additionally, we review the estimated useful lives of property and equipment at least annually.

Impairment of goodwill

We evaluate the need for impairment with regard to goodwill once a year or with greater frequency if there are indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill is tested for impairment by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined according to assumptions and computations set by management.

We perform an annual assessment to evaluate whether an impairment of goodwill exists as of each year-end. The evaluation was performed by the management with the assistance of independent assessor which, for purposes of determining the fair value of the retail and GPMP reporting units to which the goodwill was attributed, utilized the income approach, namely, the present value of the future cash flows forecasted to be derived from the reporting units.

For the 2019 annual impairment test, the data used for the income approach was directly linked to the GPM’s latest approved budget for 2020 and internal projections for 2021 through 2022. The long-term growth rate used in the projection years (2021 through 2022) and in the terminal year was 0% and (0.5%), respectively, for the GPMP reporting unit, and was between 0% and 3.0%, and 2.5%, respectively, for the retail reporting unit, in accordance with the relevant weighted average long-term nominal growth rate. The cash flows used assumed an unlevered, debt-free basis with no deduction for interest of debt principal to present the cash flows available for debt and equity holders. The discount rate for each reporting unit was determined based on the risk profile of each of the reporting units, and was derived from its weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as assessed by management with the assistance of an independent assessor. The WACC took into account both debt and equity. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections for the GPMP and the retail reporting units was approximately 8.1% and 8.7%, respectively.

The impairment review was sensitive to changes in the key assumptions used. Management’s key assumptions included revenue and profit growth, capital expenditures, external industry data and past experiences. The major assumptions that could result in significant sensitivities were the discount rate, the long-term growth rate and capital expenditures. Sensitivity analyses were performed by applying various reasonable scenarios whereby the long-term growth rate, gross profit, discount rate and capital expenditures forecast was adjusted within a reasonable range. None of the sensitivity scenarios indicated a potential impairment in any of the reporting units.

Deferred tax assets

We account for income taxes and the related accounts in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized for future tax benefits and credit carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the

208

temporary differences can be utilized. We periodically assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets and reflect any changes in estimates in the valuation allowance. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions to establish the amount of deferred tax assets to be recognized based on timing differences, the expected taxable income and its sources and the tax planning strategy.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk

We have limited exposure to commodity price risk as a result of the payment and volume-related discounts in certain of GPM’s fuel supply contracts with fuel suppliers, which are based on the market price of motor fuel. Significant increases in fuel prices could result in significant increases in the retail price of fuel and in lower sales to consumers and dealers. When fuel prices rise, some of GPM’s dealers may have insufficient credit to purchase fuel form GPM at their historical volumes. In addition, significant and persistent increases in the retail price of fuel could also diminish consumer demand, which could subsequently diminish the volume of fuel GPM distributes. A significant percentage of our sales are made with the use of credit cards. Because the interchange fees we pay when credit cards are used to make purchases are based on transaction amounts, higher fuel prices at the pump and higher gallon movement result in higher credit card expenses. These additional fees increase operating expenses.

Interest Rate Risk

We may be subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing, and cash management activities. For the majority of the debt, interest is calculated at a fixed margin over LIBOR. As of December 31, 2019, we had fixed the interest rate on the approximately 92% of our PNC lines of credit at 3.78% and 3.71%, fixed the interest rate on the full amount of our Capital One line of credit at 3.98%, and fixed the interest rate on the full amount of the PNC term loans at 4.72% for GPM and 2.22% for GPMP. The LIBOR interest rate as of December 31, 2019 was only approximately 1.8%, therefore, our exposure was low. Interest rates on commercial bank borrowings and debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly. Although this could limit our ability to raise funds in the debt capital markets, we expect to remain competitive with respect to acquisitions and capital projects, as our competitors would likely face similar circumstances.

Exchange Rate Risk

The majority of our revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in U.S. dollars. However, our obligation to repay the outstanding principal and interest of our Bonds (Series C) exposes us to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations between the New Israeli Shekel and the U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $39 million of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with respect to the Company’s bonds was denominated in New Israeli Shekels, therefore, our exposure was low.

We currently do not engage in any exchange rate hedging activity, but we may enter into currency hedging transactions in order to decrease the risks associated with unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations. However, there is no assurance that such hedging transactions will provide adequate protection and cover all of our potential exposure in connection with exchange rate fluctuations.

CERTAIN ARKO RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Arko Management Services Agreement

On November 1, 2005, Arko entered into an ongoing service agreement (as amended, the “Arko Management Services Agreement”) with KMG, an entity wholly owned and controlled by Arie Kotler, Arko’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which KMG, through Mr. Kotler, provides services to Arko as Chairman of the board of directors. Under the Arko Management Services Agreement, KMG is entitled to a monthly management fee of approximately $5,000, linked to the Consumer Price Index, and to a reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by KMG in connection with the provision of management services.

During 2019, KMG received a total of approximately $60,000 from Arko related to Mr. Kotler’s services as Chairman of the board of directors. The Arko Management Services Agreement will remain in effect until October 31, 2020 as long as Mr. Kotler continues to serve as Chairman of Arko’s board of directors. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Arko Management Services Agreement (or any extension thereof) will be terminated.

GPM Management Services Agreement

On December 1, 2016, GPM entered into an Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “GPM Management Services Agreement”) with KMG, pursuant to which KMG designated Mr. Kotler to provide general management and advisory services to GPM from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. Under this agreement, KMG was entitled to a management fee in the amount of $60,000 per month. In addition, KMG was entitled to receive an annual bonus in accordance with GPM’s Corporate Incentive Plan (described under “GPM Executive Compensation Program – Bonuses”). The annual bonus to which KMG is entitled cannot exceed six monthly management fee payments. Based on GPM’s financial performance in 2019, KMG did not receive a bonus for 2019. The GPM Management Services Agreement also requires GPM to reimburse KMG for all out of pocket expenses related to the activity of GPM. During 2019, KMG received a total of $727,193 related to Mr. Kotler’s services as Chief Executive Officer of GPM.

On January 1, 2020, GPM and KMG entered into a Second Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement which extended the term of the GPM Management Services Agreement from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and increased the management fee to $90,000 per month. In addition, a portion of bonus equal to four monthly management fees is payable subject to increases in Arko’s share price. KMG instructed GPM that any payment that is higher than one monthly payment shall be made only if GPM receives written confirmation from Arko. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the GPM Management Services Agreement will be terminated and KMG will be entitled to receive the bonus payable for the full fiscal 2020 period.

Profits Participation Agreement

In December 2016, the members of GPM and KMG entered into a Partner Profits Participation Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Profits Participation Agreement”) which entitled KMG to an annual net profit participation amount for the years 2017 through 2019 calculated as the lower of (i) 3% of GPM’s annual net profit, based on GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements for years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, or (ii) $280,000.

In December 2019, the members of GPM and KMG entered into an Amended and Restated Partner Profits Participation Agreement, which entitles KMG to an annual net profit participation amount for the years 2020 through 2022 calculated as the higher of (i) 5% of GPM’s annual net profits for such calendar year based on GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements after adjustments as defined below, or (ii) 5% of the positive difference (if any) between the adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Profits Participation Agreement) for such

210

calendar year and the adjusted EBITDA for the prior calendar year, up to an annual maximum amount of $400,000. At the request of KMG, at the end of the first, second and third quarters of each calendar year, GPM will pay an advance on the annual net profit participation amount in an amount of 25% of the $400,000, subject to GPM’s commitment to offset any excess amounts from future amounts to which it will be entitled. For 2017 and 2018, KMG was entitled to approximately $189,000 and $280,000, respectively, under the Profits Participation Agreement. Based on GPM’s performance in 2019, KMG was not entitled to an annual profit participation for 2019. KMG received $210,000 in advances for 2019, which will be offset against future payments by GPM. The Profits Participation Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the GPM Management Services Agreement. KMG will be entitled to receive accrued unpaid annual net profit participation amounts for 2020.

Related Party Approval Policies

Pursuant to Arko’s written policy, GPM’s compliance officer notifies Arko’s compliance officer if GPM is to engage with a related party or make any payment not previously disclosed to a related party, so that Arko’s compliance officer can verify that any engagement takes place only after or subject to receipt of the necessary approvals according to applicable law. Under Israeli law the required approvals vary from board approval only, audit committee and board approval, and in some cases, shareholder approval is also required (in some cases by a super majority). No new transaction will be carried out with a related party without prior written notice to Arko’s compliance officer. New Parent will implement policies and procedures with respect to the approval of related party transactions in connection with the closing of the Business Combination.

INFORMATION ABOUT HAYMAKER

Overview

We are a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this proxy statement/prospectus as our initial business combination. Although we may pursue our initial business combination in any business, industry or geographic location, we have focused on opportunities to capitalize on the ability of our management team, particularly our executive officers, to identify, acquire and operate a business in the consumer services, products and retail industries, which we believe has many potential target businesses. Following our initial business combination, our objective will be to implement or support the acquired business’ growth and operating strategies.

The registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-231617) for our IPO was declared effective by the SEC on June 6, 2019. On June 11, 2019, we consummated our IPO of 40,000,000 Haymaker Units (which includes 5,000,000 Haymaker Units sold pursuant to the underwriters partially exercising their over-allotment option on June 11, 2019), with each Haymaker Unit consisting of one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and one-third of redeemable Haymaker Warrant. Each Haymaker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at $11.50 per share. The Haymaker Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of Haymaker’s initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Haymaker Units in our IPO were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $400,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO, we consummated a private placement of an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, Cantor, and Stifel, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. Additionally, the Sponsor was issued 10,000,000 Founder Shares in connection with our IPO.

In connection with the IPO, we incurred transaction costs of $22,562,030, consisting of $7,000,000 of underwriting fees, $15,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $562,030 of other IPO costs. A total of $400,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Haymaker Units in the IPO and the private placement were placed in the Trust Account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

Initial Business Combination

Our initial business combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria.

Submission of Our Initial Business Combination to a Stockholder Vote

We are providing the Public Stockholders with redemption rights upon consummation of the Business Combination. Public Stockholders electing to exercise their redemption rights will be entitled to receive cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less taxes payable, provided that such stockholders follow the specific procedures for redemption set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to the stockholder vote on the Business Combination. The Public Stockholders are not required to vote against the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. If the Business Combination is not completed, then Public Stockholders electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments.

212

The Sponsor and our executive officers and directors have agreed (1) to vote any shares of common stock owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination, including the Founder Shares, (2) not to redeem any shares of common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination, and (3) not sell any shares of common stock in any tender in connection with a proposed initial business combination. As a result, assuming that only a quorum is present, we would need only 15,000,001 or approximately 37.5%, of the 40,000,000 shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock sold in the IPO to be voted in favor of a transaction in order to proceed with the initial business combination.

Permitted Purchases of Our Securities

None of the Sponsor and our executive officers, directors, director nominees or their affiliates has indicated any intention to purchase units or shares of common stock in the IPO or from persons in the open market or in private transactions. However, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Sponsor and our directors, director nominees, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. None of the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants in such transactions. There is no limit on the number of shares or warrants such persons may purchase, or any restriction on the price that they may pay. Any such price per share may be different than the amount per share a public stockholder would receive if it elected to redeem its shares in connection with our initial business combination. However, such persons have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions.

In the event the Sponsor or our directors, director nominees, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates determine to make any such purchases of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at the time of a stockholder vote relating to our initial business combination, such purchases could have the effect of influencing the vote necessary to approve such transaction. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants in such transactions. If any of the Sponsor or our directors, director nominees, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller of such shares or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We cannot currently determine whether any of our insiders will make such purchases pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, as that would be dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to the timing and size of any such purchase. Depending on the circumstances, any of our insiders may decide to make purchases of our securities pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or may determine that acting pursuant to such a plan is not required under the Exchange Act.

The Sponsor and our executive officers, directors, director nominees and their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom they may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination. To the extent that the Sponsor or our executive officers, directors, director nominees or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account or vote against the business combination.

We do not currently anticipate that purchases of our Haymaker Class A Common Stock or Public Warrants by any of the Sponsor or our directors, director nominees, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such

213

rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. None of the Sponsor or our directors, director nominees, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates will purchase shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock if such purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act.

Redemption Rights for Public Stockholders

We will provide the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Business Combination at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, less any taxes then due but not yet paid (which taxes may be paid only from the interest earned on the funds in the Trust Account). As of , the amount in the Trust Account was approximately $ million, which is equal to approximately $ per public share. Our initial investors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and any Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by them in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

Limitation on Redemption Rights

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, individually or together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to an aggregate of more than 15% of the shares of common stock sold in the IPO without our prior written consent. We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in our IPO could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such stockholder’s shares are not purchased by us or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our stockholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in our IPO, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete a business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares for or against the business combination.

Redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and Liquidation if No Initial Business Combination

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will have until June 11, 2021, to complete a business combination. If we are unable to complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining Public Stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Public Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete a business combination by June 11, 2021.

214

The Sponsor and our officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete a business combination by June 11, 2021. However, if the Sponsor and our officers or directors acquire Haymaker Class A Common Stock, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by such date.

The Sponsor and our officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide for the redemption of our public shares in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Haymaker Class A Common Stock if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 11, 2021, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock. However, we will only redeem our Haymaker Class A Common Stock so long as (after such redemption) our net tangible assets will be at least $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon completion of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of Haymaker Class A Common Stock such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement (described above) we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of our Haymaker Class A Common Stock.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $816,926 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of December 31, 2019), although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon our dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section 281(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law or, DGCL, our plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against us to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before we make any distribution of our remaining assets to our stockholders. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we have sought and will continue to seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business (other than our auditors) execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest and claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a

215

claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has not executed agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account.

In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, then the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, we believe it is unlikely that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations and we believe it is unlikely that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per public share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor has to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business (other than our auditors) execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including

216

liabilities under the Securities Act. We have access to up to approximately $816,926 from the proceeds held outside the Trust Account (as of December 31, 2019) with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that if a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we are unable to complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Accordingly, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following June 11, 2021, and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because we are complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, and auditors) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in our underwriting agreement, we have sought and will continue to seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business (other than our auditors) execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the Trust Account is remote. Further, the Sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the Trust Account are not reduced below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share

217

held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

If we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per share to our public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of Haymaker Class A Common Stock if we do not complete a business combination by June 11, 2021, subject to applicable law, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business combination by June 11, 2021, or (iii) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of our common stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described in this Report. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In connection with our initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights as described above.

Facilities

Our executive offices are located at 650 Fifth Avenue, Floor 10, New York, NY 10019, and our telephone number is (212) 616-9600. Our executive offices are provided to us by the Sponsor. Commencing on June 6, 2019, we have agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the New York Metropolitan area, that the fee charged by the Sponsor is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space, combined with the other office space otherwise available to our executive officers, adequate for our current operations.

Employees

We currently have four officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Number, Terms of Office and Election of Executive Officers and Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Messrs. McLallen and Dolan, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Mr. Powell, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Messrs. Heyer and Heyer, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after we consummate our initial business combination (unless required by Nasdaq).

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of one or more Chief Executive Officers, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. McLallen, Dolan and Powell are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our audit committee will be entirely composed of independent directors meeting Nasdaq’s additional requirements applicable to members of the audit committee. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Officer and Director Compensation

None of our officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We have agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from New Parent. All of these fees will be fully

222

disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by New Parent to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

Following a business combination, to the extent we deem it necessary, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management team of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has two standing committees, an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that is approved by our board of directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below.

Audit Committee

Upon the completion of the IPO, we established an audit committee of the board of directors. Messrs. McLallen, Dolan and Powell serve as members of our audit committee. Under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Messrs. McLallen, Dolan and Powell meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10-A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. McLallen qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

We adopted an audit committee charter, which details the purpose and principal functions of the audit committee, including:

•

the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

•

pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

•

reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships our auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

•

setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;

•

setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•

obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

223

•

reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

•

reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

Compensation Committee

Upon the completion of the IPO, we established a compensation committee of the board of directors. The members of our Compensation Committee are Messrs. Dolan and Powell. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions. Messrs. Dolan and Powell meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards applicable to members of the compensation committee. We adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the compensation committee, including:

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives, and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

•

reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors with respect to the compensation, and any incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval of all of our other officers;

•

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;

•

Reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

•

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

•

assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

•

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

•

if required producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

•

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, other than the payment to the Sponsor of $20,000 per month, for up to 24 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support and reimbursement of expenses, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, officers, directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to complete the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible

224

for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by applicable law or stock exchange rules. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq listing rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

Prior to our initial business combination, the board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at an annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our Haymaker Class A Common Stock will not have the right to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our officers currently serve, and in the past year have not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our board of directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of Haymaker common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2019 there were no delinquent filers.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers and directors. We have filed copies of our code of ethics, our audit committee charter and our compensation committee charter as exhibits to our registration statement in connection with our IPO. You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the code of ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us.

Audit Fees

The firm of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) acts as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid to Marcum for services rendered.

225

Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by Marcum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of Marcum for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods and other required filings with the SEC for the period from February 13, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019 totaled approximately $51,598. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee meetings.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. During the period from February 13, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019, we did not pay Marcum any audit-related fees.

Tax Fees. We did not pay Marcum any fees for tax return services, planning and tax advice for the period from February 13, 2019 (date of inception) to December 31, 2019.

All Other Fees. We did not pay Marcum for any other services for the year ended December 31, 2019.

HAYMAKER’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The statements in the discussion and analysis regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Information About Haymaker” and the audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. All references to years, unless otherwise noted, refer to our fiscal years, which end on December 31. As used in this section, unless the context suggests otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Haymaker” refer to Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II.

Overview

We are a newly organized company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 13, 2019 and formed for the effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of Private Placement Warrants that occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in the Business Combination:

•

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;

•

may subordinate the rights of holders of Haymaker common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our Haymaker common stock;

•

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of Haymaker common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

•

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

•

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for Haymaker Class A Common Stock and/or Haymaker Warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or owners of a target, it could result in:

•

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

•

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

•

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

•

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

227

•

our inability to pay dividends on Haymaker common stock;

•

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;

•

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

•

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

•

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and

•

other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, we had investments and cash in the Trust Account of $404,362,721 and $404,986,790 at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.

Proposed Business Combination

Business Combination Agreement

On September 8, 2020, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with New Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Arko, pursuant to which we will effect the Business Combination.

Organizational Structure

The acquisition is structured as a “double dummy” transaction, resulting in the following:

(a)

(b)

On the Closing Date, each of the following transactions will occur in the following order: (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Haymaker (the “First Merger”), with Haymaker surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “First Surviving Company”); (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into Arko (the “Second Merger”), with Arko surviving the Second Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (the “Second Surviving Company”); and (iii) after completion of the Second Merger, New Parent will organize a new corporation or limited liability company (“Newco”) and transfer all shares of capital stock in Arko to Newco in exchange for all shares of capital stock or equity interests of Newco. Following the transactions, the First Surviving Company and the Second Surviving Company will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Parent.

The “Company Per Share Value” is an amount equal to the quotient of $717,273,400 divided by the total number of issued and outstanding or issuable Arko Ordinary Shares, in each case, as of the Second Effective Time. Up to $150,000,000 of cash consideration will be available to holders of Arko Ordinary Shares (including Key Arko Shareholders) if they all were to select Option C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to the obligations of the Voting Support Shareholders under the Voting Support Agreements, in which certain holders of Arko Ordinary Shares have agreed to elect either Option A or Option B, under no circumstance shall the actual aggregate (x) cash consideration exceed $100,045,000 nor (y) shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued to Arko shareholders exceed 59,957,382 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $100,045,000) or 71,727,340 (if the aggregate Cash Consideration is $0). In addition, each holder of Arko Ordinary Shares will be entitled to receive a pro rata payment, in the form of a dividend or additional cash consideration, in respect of cash held by Arko in excess of Arko’s debt, each measured as of the closing of the Business Combination.

Haymaker will cause the amount of the applicable Company Termination Fee remaining after such payments to be paid to the Public Stockholders at the time of the Haymaker’s liquidation on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock held by such Public Stockholders.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from February 13, 2019 (inception) through July 11, 2019 consisted of formation and preparation for the IPO, and as such, we had no operations and no significant operating expenses. Subsequent to the closing of the IPO on inception, our other income consists of interest and dividend income earned on the investments in our Trust Account and our operating costs include costs associated with obtaining directors and officers insurance and other general and administrative costs.

For the period from February 13, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, we had net income of $2,997,981, which consists of formation and operating costs of $567,808 and a $796,931 provision for income taxes, offset by interest income of $4,311,667 and unrealized gains of $51,053 on marketable securities held in our Trust Account.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $110,239, which consists of operating costs of $310,583, a $25,441 provision for income taxes, and an unrealized loss of $205,945, offset by interest income of $431,730 on marketable securities held in our Trust Account (as defined below).

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had net income of $1,063,609, which consists of operating and transaction costs of $626,256, a $293,261 provision for income taxes, and an unrealized loss of $39,612, offset by interest income of $2,023,008 on marketable securities held in our Trust Account.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and for the period from February 13, 2019 (date of inception) through June 30, 2019, we had net income of $340,047, which consists of formation costs and operating costs of $52,144 and a $90,392 provision for income taxes, offset by interest income of $432,440 and unrealized gains of $50,143 on marketable securities held in our Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In June 2019, we consummated the IPO, in which we sold 40,000,000 Haymaker Units (including 5,000,000 Haymaker Units sold pursuant to the underwriters partially exercising their over-allotment option) at a price of $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000 before underwriting discounts and expenses.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the sale of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. Of this amount the Sponsor purchased 5,550,000 Private Placement Warrants for $8,325,000, Cantor purchased 383,333 Private Placement Warrants for $575,000 and Stifel purchased 66,667 Placement Warrants for $100,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one whole share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at $11.50 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants subject to limited exceptions. In connection with the IPO, we incurred transaction costs of $22,562,030, consisting of $7,000,000 of underwriting fees and $562,030 of other IPO costs.

Following the closing of the IPO on June 11, 2019, an amount of $400,000,000 ($10.00 per Haymaker Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of Haymaker Units in the IPO and the Private Placement Warrants was placed

233

in the Trust Account” which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Haymaker meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the initial business combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to Haymaker to pay its tax obligations.

Transaction costs amounted to $22,562,030, consisting of $7,000,000 of underwriting fees, $15,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $562,030 of IPO costs. In addition, $1,444,570 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and was available for working capital purposes.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $404,986,790 (including approximately $39,612 of unrealized losses) consisting of U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2020, we had transferred $1,359,327 from the interest earned on the Trust Account to pay income taxes and franchise taxes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $1,704,642, consisting primarily of $626,526 in operating costs, plus changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $1,078,116 of cash from operating activities. The interest income of $2,023,008 and unrealized loss of $39,612 earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account are not available for operations, except for the payment of taxes.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash of $471,611 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial business combination, the Sponsor, our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of the initial business combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants that would be identical to Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business through June 11, 2021. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amounts necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we

234

would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. We cannot provide any assurance that additional financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2020. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

At June 30, 2020, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on June 7, 2019 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the initial business combination and the Company’s liquidation.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds of the IPO of $350,000,000, or $7,000,000. In addition, the underwriters have earned an additional 3.5% on $350,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $12,250,000, plus an additional 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the $50,000,000 over-allotment, or $2,750,000 (“Deferred Underwriting Commission”) which will be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination. This commitment of $15,000,000 has been recorded as Deferred Underwriter Compensation in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. The underwriting agreement provides that the deferred underwriting discount will be waived by the underwriter if we do not complete our Initial Business Combination.

Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On March 15, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 Founder Shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On June 6, 2019, the Company effected a 1.16666667 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,062,500 Founder Shares (up to 1,312,500 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised). The Sponsor has forfeited, as the result of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of the underwriter, 62,500 of these Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 10,000,000 Founder Shares, which is 20% of the Haymaker’s issued and outstanding shares. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Haymaker Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B convertible common stock into an equal number of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

The Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Business

235

Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Haymaker Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination, or (y) the date on which Haymaker completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Haymaker’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Business Combination.

Administrative Services Agreement

Haymaker entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on June 7, 2019 through the earlier of the consummation of the initial business combination or the Haymaker’s liquidation, the company will pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, Haymaker incurred and paid $60,000 of expenses.

Related Party Loans

On March 15, 2019, the Sponsor loaned Haymaker an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2019 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company repaid the full $270,000 borrowed under the Note on June 11, 2019 and has no borrowings from the Note as of June 30, 2020.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the initial business combination, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company Working Capital Loans. Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant that would be identical to Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policy:

Common Stock subject to possible redemption

We account for our common stock subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

236

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

We present our earnings (net loss) per share information in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share.” Under the two-class method, net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not our losses. The remaining net income (loss) is then allocated to the weighted average shares outstanding of common stock.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Income Taxes

We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties for the year ended December 31, 2019 or for the period from January 23, 2018 (inception) to December 31, 2018. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. We are subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities relating to expenses deferred for income tax purposes as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounting to $101,521 and $102,777, respectively. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into legislation. As part of the legislation, the U.S. corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21%, among other changes.

237

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

238

CERTAIN HAYMAKER RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March 2019, the Sponsor acquired 8,625,000 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On June 6, 2019, we effected a 1.16666667 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,062,500 Founder Shares (up to 1,312,500 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full). Since the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option, the sponsor forfeited 62,500 of its Founder Shares, which were canceled by the Company.

The Sponsor, Cantor and Stifel purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($9,000,000 in the aggregate) in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of our IPO. The Private Placement Warrants (including the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and the Haymaker Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder. Additionally, for so long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by Cantor, Stifel or their designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years June 6, 2019.

If any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. Our officers and directors currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations to other entities that may take priority over their duties to us.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

We have agreed to pay the Sponsor a total of $20,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.

Prior to the closing of our IPO, the Sponsor agreed to loan Haymaker an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2019 or the completion of the IPO. On June 11, 2019, Haymaker repaid the full $270,000 borrowed under the Note.

239

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds (at a nominal interest rate) as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. However, the right to convert such loans to warrants has been waived in connection with the Business Combination. Other than as described above, the terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

After our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from New Parent with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

We will enter into a registration rights agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, the warrants issuable upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (if any) and the shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the foregoing and upon conversion of the Founder Shares.

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors or the members of our board of directors who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

Related Party Policy

We have adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving Haymaker.

In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we have adopted, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

240

To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of the Sponsor, officers or directors unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders fairness opinions that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder’s fees, reimbursements or cash payments will be made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, the following payments will be made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:

•

Repayment of an aggregate of up to $300,000 in loans made to us by the Sponsor;

•

Payment to the Sponsor of $20,000 per month, for up to 24 months, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support;

•

Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination; and

•

Repayment of loans (at a nominal interest rate) which may be made by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the terms of which (other than as described above) have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender.

Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. McLallen, Dolan and Powell are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

241

MANAGEMENT AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

References in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” generally refer to Arko and its consolidated subsidiaries, including GPM, prior to the Business Combination and New Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Management and Board of Directors

Haymaker and Arko anticipate that certain executives of GPM will become the executive officers of New Parent and certain directors of Haymaker, Arko and GPM will become the directors of New Parent. The following persons are expected to serve as New Parent’s executive officers and directors following the Business Combination. For biographical information concerning the executive officers and directors, see “Arko Management—Arko Executive Officers and Directors and GPM Management—GPM Executive Officers and Directors.” For biographical information concerning Andrew R. Heyer and Steven J. Heyer, see “Information About Haymaker—Directors and Executive Officers.”


Name	Age	Position
Executive Officers:
Arie Kotler	46	President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
Donald Bassell	61	Chief Financial Officer
Maury Bricks	45	General Counsel and Secretary

Non-Employee Directors:
Andrew R. Heyer	63	Director
Steven J. Heyer	68	Director

Corporate Governance

We will structure our corporate governance in a manner Haymaker and Arko believe will closely align our interests with those of our stockholders following the Business Combination. Notable features of this corporate governance include:

•

we will have independent director representation on our audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees immediately at the time of the Business Combination, and our independent directors will meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of our corporate officers or non-independent directors;

•

at least one of our directors will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

Election of Officers

Each executive officer serves at the discretion of our board of directors and holds office until his or her successor is duly appointed or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Other than Steven J. Heyer and Andrew R. Heyer, who are brothers, there are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Board Composition

Our board of directors will consist of seven directors upon the Closing. Each of our directors will continue to serve as a director until the election and qualification of his or her successor or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. The authorized number of directors may be changed by resolution of our board of directors. Vacancies on our board of directors can be filled by resolution of our board of directors.

242

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each serving staggered, three-year terms:

•

our Class I directors will be Arie Kotler, a designee of Arko, and , and their terms will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing;

•

our Class II directors will be , and , and their terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing; and

•

our Class III directors will be Andrew Heyer and Steven Heyer, each a designee of Haymaker, and their terms will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, four of the directors will be designated by Arko at Closing, two of the directors will be designated by Haymaker at Closing and one director will be mutually agreed upon by Arko and Haymaker at Closing.

As a result of the staggered board, only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms.

Independence of our Board of Directors

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that the board of directors will meet independence standards under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of NASDAQ. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the sections titled “Certain Arko Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and “Certain Haymaker Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

Board Committees

Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee; a compensation committee; and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the committees will report to the board of directors as it deems appropriate and as the board of directors may request. The expected composition, duties and responsibilities of these committees are set forth below. In the future, our board of directors may establish other committees, as it deems appropriate, to assist it with its responsibilities.

Audit Committee

The audit committee provides assistance to our board of directors in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions by approving the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing their reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting controls. The audit committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent registered public accounting firm and takes those actions as it deems necessary to satisfy itself that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent of management. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of NASDAQ and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Our audit committee will meet the requirements for independence of audit committee members under applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules. All of the members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ. In addition, qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K.

243

Our board of directors will adopt a new written charter for the audit committee, which will be available on our website after adoption. The information on our website is not intended to form a part of or be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee will determine our general compensation policies and the compensation provided to our officers. The compensation committee will also make recommendations to our board of directors regarding director compensation. In addition, the compensation committee will review and determine unit-based compensation for our directors, officers, employees and consultants and will administer our equity incentive plans. Our compensation committee will also oversee our corporate compensation programs. Each member of our compensation committee will be independent, as defined under the NASDAQ listing rules, which also satisfies NASDAQ’s additional independence standards for compensation committee members. Each member of our compensation committee is a non-employee director (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act).

Our board of directors will adopt a new written charter for the compensation committee, which will be available on our website after adoption. The information on our website is not intended to form a part of or be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for making recommendations to our board of directors regarding candidates for directorships and the size and composition of the board. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for overseeing our corporate governance guidelines and reporting and making recommendations to the board of directors concerning corporate governance matters. Each member of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be independent as defined under the NASDAQ listing rules.

Our board of directors will adopt a new written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which will be available on our website after adoption. The information on our website is not intended to form a part of or be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Role of Our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, and our audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures. The audit committee will also have the responsibility to review with management the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken, monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and review the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for periodically evaluating our company’s corporate governance policies and systems in light of the governance risks that our company faces and the adequacy of our company’s policies and procedures designed to address such risks. Our compensation committee will assess and monitor whether any of our compensation policies and programs is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No interlocking relationship exists between our board of directors or compensation committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the

244

past. None of the members of our compensation committee has at any time during the prior three years been one of our officers or employees.

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors will adopt a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of our code of ethics will be available on our website after adoption. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of our code of ethics, or waivers of certain provisions as they relate to our directors and executive officers, at the same location on our website or in our public filings. The information on our website is not intended to form a part of or be incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus.

Compensation of Directors and Officers

Overview

Following the closing of the Business Combination, decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, will be made by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the compensation of our named executive officers and directors following the Business Combination. The actual compensation of our named executive officers will depend on the judgment of the members of the compensation committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

We anticipate that compensation for our executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, equity compensation, employee benefits, executive perquisites and severance benefits. Base salaries, employee benefits, executive perquisites and severance benefits will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. We will also use annual cash bonuses and equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of our named executive officers with the long-term interests of our equity-owners and to enhance executive retention.

Annual Bonuses

We expect that we will use annual cash incentive bonuses for the named executive officers to motivate their achievement of short-term performance goals and tie a portion of their cash compensation to performance. We expect that, near the beginning of each year, the compensation committee will select the performance targets, target amounts, target award opportunities and other terms and conditions of annual cash bonuses for the named executive officers, subject to the terms of their employment agreements. Following the end of each year, the compensation committee will determine the extent to which the performance targets were achieved and the amount of the award that is payable to the named executive officers.

Stock-Based Awards

We expect to use stock-based awards in future years to promote our interest by providing executives and employees with the opportunity to acquire equity interests as an incentive for their remaining in our service and aligning their interests with those of New Parent’s equity holders. To the extent such Stock based awards shall be awarded to Israeli executives and employees of Arko, such grant shall be subject to and in accordance with the requirements of the Israel Income Tax Ordinance.

Other Compensation

We expect New Parent to continue to maintain various employee benefit plans currently maintained by GPM, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) and nonqualified deferred compensation plans,

245

paid time off and holidays, car allowances and employee assistance program benefits in which the named executive officers will participate. We also expect New Parent to continue to provide its named executive officers with specified perquisites and personal benefits currently provided by GPM that are not generally available to all employees. For additional details, please see “Management of Arko—Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Director Compensation

Following the Business Combination, non-employee directors of New Parent will receive varying levels of compensation for their services as directors and members of committees of New Parent’s board of directors. New Parent anticipates determining director compensation in accordance with industry practice and standards.

246

DESCRIPTION OF ARKO CORP.’S SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of New Parent’s securities following the Business Combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge you to read our proposed certificate in its entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of New Parent’s securities following the Business Combination.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

General

The proposed certificate authorizes the issuance of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. The outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock issued in the Business Combination will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of New Parent Common Stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action, and no holder of any series of preferred stock shall be entitled to any voting powers in respect thereof. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Holders of common stock will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to New Parent Common Stock.

Election of Directors

Our board of directors is currently divided into three classes, where the term of Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders of New Parent, the term of Class II directors will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders of New Parent, and the term of Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders of New Parent. Following the Closing, our board of directors will also be divided into three classes, where each of the newly elected director will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

247

Preferred Stock

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide, that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers and preferences, the relative, participating, optional, or special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of preferred stock. The board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of New Parent or the removal of existing management.

The Company has no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof, and will have no preferred stock outstanding immediately after the Closing.

Warrants

As of June 30, 2020, there were 19,333,333 Haymaker Warrants to purchase Haymaker Class A Common Stock outstanding, consisting of 13,333,333 Public Warrants and 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Pursuant to the Haymaker Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least three units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Pursuant to the Haymaker Warrant Agreement, each whole warrant to purchase one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock will become a warrant to purchase one share of New Parent Common Stock upon the closing of the Business Combination,

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of New Parent Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of New Parent Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of New Parent Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant unless New Parent Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant.

We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following our initial business combination to have declared effective, a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We will use our reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Haymaker Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the New Parent Common Stock is at the time of

248

any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will be required to use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Warrants

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (excluding the Private Placement Warrants):

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which we refer to as the 30-day redemption period; and

•

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of New Parent Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the New Parent Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

Redemption Procedures and Cashless Exercise

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of New Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management

249

does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.8% or 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of New Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A common stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A common stock, in determining the price payable for Class A common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A common stock on account of such shares of Class A common stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A common stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Class A common stock if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and

250

(y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Class A common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Haymaker Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Haymaker Warrant Agreement) of the warrant. The warrants will be issued in registered form under the Haymaker Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the Haymaker Warrant Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The Haymaker Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, inclusive of interest earned on equity held in trust, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrantholder.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The

251

warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants (including the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans and the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, Stifel or their permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor, Cantor, Stifel or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO. Each of the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the sponsor, Cantor, Stifel or their permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination, and such warrants are also not transferable or tradeable until after our initial business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, such holders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

The Sponsor, Cantor and Stifel have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date we complete our initial business combination, except that, among other limited exceptions as described under the section of this prospectus entitled “Principal Stockholders—Restrictions on Transfers of Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants” made to our and their officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor, Cantor or Stifel.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to a business

252

combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial conditions subsequent to completion of a business combination. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our board of directors, by our Chief Executive Officer or by our Chairman. New Parent’s post-Business Combination bylaws will provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by (i) a majority vote of our board of directors, (ii) Chief Executive Officer or (iii) our Chairman.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the company secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90^th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Exclusive Forum Selection

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that unless New Parent consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another federal or state court situated in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation also requires that the federal district courts of the United States situated in the State of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Additionally, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provision.

253

Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that these provisions are unenforceable, and to the extent they are enforceable, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law. Under the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, New Parent has not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL. This statute prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with:

•

a stockholder who owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”);

•

an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

•

an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if

•

our board of directors approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

•

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

•

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual meetings.

Action by Written Consent

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that any action required to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders and must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be

254

amended. In addition, and us permitted under Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors

We will enter into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also will permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We will purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

255

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon closing of the Business Combination, New Parent will have shares of New Parent Common Stock authorized and, based on the assumptions set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, up to shares of New Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding, assuming no shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. All of the shares of New Parent Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable by persons other than by Haymaker’s “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of the New Parent Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the New Parent Common Stock.

Lock-up Agreements and Registration Rights

Certain persons and entities holding Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants of Haymaker and certain stockholders of Arko and the GPM Minority Investors (the “Holders”) will enter into the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement at Closing. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, New Parent will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of Haymaker held by the Holders within 30 days following the Closing Date. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement also provides for certain “demand” and “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides that the Holders be subject to certain restrictions on transfer of New Parent Common Stock for 180 days following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will replace the letter agreement, dated June 6, 2019, pursuant to which the initial stockholder of Haymaker and its directors and officers had agreed to, among other things, certain restrictions on the transfer of Haymaker Class A Common Stock (and any securities into which such Haymaker Class A Common Stock is convertible into) for one year following the Closing, subject to certain exceptions.

For more information about the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, see the section entitled “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement.”

Rule 144

A person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of Haymaker common stock or restricted Haymaker Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale. Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of Haymaker common stock or restricted Haymaker Warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

•

1% of the then outstanding equity shares of the same class which, immediately after the Business Combination, will equal shares of Haymaker common stock and Haymaker Warrants; or

•

the average weekly trading volume of Haymaker common stock of the same class or Haymaker Warrants, as applicable, during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

Sales by affiliates of Haymaker under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about Haymaker.

256

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC, which is expected to be filed promptly after completion of the Business Combination, reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 50,000,000 shares of Haymaker common stock outstanding. Of these shares, the 40,000,000 shares sold in the IPO are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the remaining 10,000,000 shares owned collectively by the Haymaker Initial Stockholders are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are a total of 19,333,333 Haymaker Warrants outstanding. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Haymaker Warrant Agreement governing the Haymaker Warrants. 13,333,333 of these Haymaker Warrants are public warrants and are freely tradable, except for any warrants purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, we will be obligated to maintain an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the 19,333,333 shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the public Haymaker Warrants.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of Arko’s employees, consultants or advisors who purchases equity shares from Haymaker in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of the Business Combination is eligible to resell those equity shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

257

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following tables sets forth information regarding the expected beneficial ownership of New Parent Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of Haymaker Class A Common Stock and assuming redemptions of 12.9 million shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, in each case, assuming that either all Arko shareholders elect all stock consideration or all Arko shareholders elect as much cash consideration as they would be permitted to elect (consistent with the Voting Support Agreements in the case of Mr. Kotler and Mr. Willner)):

•

each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding New Parent Common Stock;

•

each person who will become an executive officer or director of New Parent post-Business Combination; and

•

all executive officers and directors of New Parent as a group post-Business Combination.

The first table assumes (i) no Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) Haymaker and New Parent do not issue any additional equity securities prior to Closing. The second table assumes (i) Public Stockholders elect to redeem 12.9 million shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) Arko, Haymaker and New Parent do not issue any additional equity securities prior to Closing.

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A stockholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of New Parent Common Stock subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of New Parent Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below.

The expected beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below do not take into account (i) potential future exercises of New Parent Warrants or Ares warrants, (ii) 4,000,000 deferred shares of New Parent Common Stock, in the aggregate, that are issuable to the Sponsor upon the occurrence of certain events under the Business Combination Agreement and (iii) the issuance of any shares (or options to acquire shares) under New Parent’s equity plan.

258

Unless otherwise indicated, New Parent believes that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of capital stock beneficially owned by them. To New Parent’s knowledge, no shares of New Parent Common Stock beneficially owned by any executive officer, director or director nominee have been pledged as security.

ARKO HOLDINGS LTD.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General

Arko Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) is a public company incorporated in Israel, whose securities are listed for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd.

As of June 30, 2020, the main activity of the Company was its holding, through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries, of controlling rights in GPM Investments, LLC (“GPM” and in the notes below including subsidiaries wholly owned and controlled by it). GPM is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 12, 2002 and is engaged directly and through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries (directly or indirectly) in retail activity which includes the operations of a chain of convenience stores, most of which include adjacent gas stations, and in wholesale activity which includes the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third parties. The “Group” refers to the Company and its subsidiaries and its affiliates.

As of June 30, 2020, GPM’s activity included the self-operation of 1,266 sites and the supply of fuel to 127 gas stations operated by external operators (dealers), all in 23 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States (“US”).

The Group has three reporting segments: retail, wholesale and GPMP. Refer to Note 11 below for further information with respect to segments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis for Presentation

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for the six and three months periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (“interim financial statements”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and Regulation S-X set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying interim financial statements. However, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The same significant accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these interim financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “annual financial statements”).

Accounting Periods

The Company’s fiscal periods end on the last day of the month, and its fiscal year ends on December 31. This results in the Company experiencing fluctuations in current assets and current liabilities due to purchasing and payment patterns which change based upon the day of the week. As a result, working capital can change

F-8

from period to period not only due to changing business operations, but also due to a change in the day of the week in which each period ends. The Group earns a disproportionate amount of its annual operating income in the second and third quarters as a result of the climate and seasonal buying patterns of its customers. Inclement weather, especially in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the US during the winter months, can negatively impact financial results.

Use of Estimates

In the preparation of interim financial statements, management may make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers. This requires the Group to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. Control is transferred to the customer over time if the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance. If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the Group satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time.

Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services.

When the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of goods or services to the customer, revenue is recognized against contract assets in the amount of consideration for which the Group is entitled. When the consideration amount received from the customer exceeds the amounts recognized as revenue, the Company recognizes a contract liability for the excess.

The Group evaluates if it is a principal or an agent in a transaction to determine whether revenue should be recorded on a gross or a net basis. In performing this analysis, the Group considers first whether it controls the goods before they are transferred to the customers and if it has the ability to direct the use of the goods or obtain benefits from them. The Group also considers the following indicators: (1) the primary obligor, (2) the latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, and (3) the inventory risk borne by the Group before and after the goods have been transferred to the customer. When the Group acts as principal, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. When the Group acts as agent, revenue is recorded on a net basis.

Fuel revenue and fuel costs included fuel taxes of $102.0 million, $127.2 million, $217.1 million and $238.3 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

GPM’s customer loyalty program provides GPM’s customers rights to purchase products at a lower price or at no cost in future periods. The related contract liability for the customer loyalty program was approximately $1.3 million and $1.9 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2020

Accounting for Financial Instrument Credit Losses — In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on

F-9

Financial Instruments. This standard requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The Group adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 with no material impact on its interim financial statements.

Lease Modifications — In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions obtained as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession obtained was a result of a new arrangement reached with the lessor (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession obtained was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows lessees, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease-by-lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Group has elected to apply this practical expedient for the period beginning as of April 1, 2020 with no material impact on its interim financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance, such as the accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. This standard is effective January 1, 2021 for the Group. The Group is assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform — In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This standard included optional guidance for a limited period of time to help ease the burden in accounting for the effects of reference rate reform. The new standard is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is examining the impact of this standard on its interim financial statements.

3. GPM Investments, LLC

Ares Equity Transaction

On February 28, 2020 (the “Ares Closing Date”), GPM entered into agreement with Ares Capital Corporation and certain funds managed or controlled by Ares Capital Management (collectively, “Ares”) in which for consideration of $20.0 million (prior to transaction costs), GPM issued to Ares membership units representing 2.0% of GPM’s equity (the “Class F Membership Units”), together with warrants that for an exercise price of $10.0 million in the aggregate (subject to customary adjustments including in the event of certain distributions) can be exercised to acquire membership units that represent 1.0% of GPM’s equity (on a fully diluted basis as of the Ares Closing Date) (the “Ares Warrants”) (collectively, the “Ares Purchase Agreement”).

At the closing of the Ares Transaction, an amended and restated LLC agreement that regulates the rights between the holders of the membership units of GPM was signed and came into force between the members as detailed in Note 3 to the annual financial statements. For further details, see Note 3 to the annual financial statements.

F-10

months after the Call Option is exercised (as defined below) and 42 months from the issuance date. The Ares Warrants will be exercisable to Class G Membership Units that will rank equal to the existing common membership units of GPM, with no priority in distributions or liquidations.

GPM has the right at any time to redeem the Class F Membership Units (in full and not in part) (the “Call Option”) for consideration (the “Call Option Price”) as follows: (1) approximately $27.3 million up to three years from the date of issuance; (2) approximately $33.6 million after the third year and up to the end of five years from the date of issuance; (3) approximately $45.8 million after the fifth year and up to the end of eight years from the date of issuance: and (4) approximately $45.8 million plus 10.5% per annum (quarterly accrued) up to the date the call option is exercised if exercised after the eighth year. All distributions paid to the Class F Membership Units (other than tax distributions) will be deducted from the Call Option Price, to the extent paid.

As a result of the existence of different rights which the members units in GPM are entitling, the Group’s investment in GPM is accounted for under the hypothetical liquidation at book value method as defined in Note 2 to the annual financial statements, and the Class F Membership Units have preference over all other membership units in the event of liquidation, amounting to $20.0 million during the first three years and at the end of each third, fifth and eighth year from the Ares Closing Date will be raised to the Call Option Price (as defined above) which was in effect for the period prior to the period in which the liquidation occurs. After the end of the eighth year, the priority amount will be increased in case of liquidation at a rate of 10.5% per annum (quarterly compounded). From the aforementioned amounts will be deducted all distributions paid to the Class F Membership Units (other than tax distributions) until that time, to the extent paid.

The Class F Membership Units, the Ares Warrants and the Call Option are equity instruments. The consideration received from Ares, net of Ares’ transaction costs, amounted to $19.5 million and was attributable to these three issued equity instruments components based on their fair value as of the issuance date, which was determined based on a Monte-Carlo simulation of GPM’s value over the instruments’ lifetime using a net equity value of $19.5 million for the issued equity instruments.

Due to the preference provided to the Class F Membership Units in liquidation, an amount of $20.0 million was classified in the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity as ‘non-controlling interests.’

The difference between the fair value of the Ares Warrants and the fair value of the Call Option in the amount of $0.5 million, as well as approximately $0.7 million for transaction costs, were allocated to the other common membership unit holders in GPM with 75% to Class B common membership units held by Arko Convenience Store, LLC (“Arko Convenience”) and 25% to Class C and Class E common membership units.

Following the Ares Closing Date, the Company holds, (indirectly through Arko Convenience), approximately 73.38% of the common membership units and the voting rights in GPM (effectively approximately 67.99% of the equity). For further details with regard to the membership units of GPM following the Ares transaction and the rights to which they are entitled and the holders, see Note 3 to the annual financial statements.

Intercompany Loans Provided by the Company to GPM and its Subsidiaries

Further to Note 3.I. to the annual financial statements, on February 28, 2020, all of the loans provided by the Company to GPM were fully repaid in advance in a total amount of approximately $110 million from funds received from the Ares Loan as defined in Note 4 below.

Simultaneously with the repayment of the aforementioned loans, an early prepayment took place (instead of the original repayment date, as extended, set for August 2021) of an original amount of a loan of $10 million provided in 2015 to GPM by GPM Member LLC (“Holdings”).

F-11

As a result of said repayment, the Company’s full rights in the Admiral and E-Z Mart loans pledged in favor of the Company’s Bonds (Series C), the balance of which (including interest receivable) as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $68 million, were released.

Subject to the terms established in the intercompany loan agreements (excluding the Midwest loan), to the extent that the Company prepays the Bonds (Series C), GPM will bear the costs associated with the early prepayment with respect of the prepaid loan amount.

Repayment of Note Issued by Holdings and Note Issued to Holdings

Further to Note 18 to the annual financial statements, with regard to the promissory note in the amount of approximately $7.1 million that was issued by Holdings to GPM and the promissory note in the amount of $4.0 million that was issued at that time by Arko Convenience to Holdings, on February 28, 2020, those promissory notes were fully paid.

Potential Acquisition — Empire Acquisition

On December 17, 2019, a fully owned subsidiary of GPM and GPM Petroleum LP (“GPMP”) entered into a purchase agreement with unrelated third-parties (the “Sellers”) for the acquisition of (i) the Sellers’ wholesale business of supplying fuel which currently includes approximately 1,500 gas stations operated by others (dealers) and (ii) approximately 75 Seller self-operated convenience stores and gas stations, all in 30 states, out of which 10 states in which GPM is not active in as of June 30, 2020 (the “Empire Acquisition”).

According to the purchase agreement, at the closing of the Empire Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), the Sellers: (i) will lease to GPM sites that are valued at $60 million out of the 103 sites that are owned by the Sellers as specified below (the “Seller’s Lease”) and will sell to GPM the fee simple ownership in the remaining sites that are owned by them; (ii) will assign to GPM the leases of approximately 130 sites; and (iii) will sell and assign the equipment, inventory, agreements, intangible assets and other rights with regard to the wholesale and retail business and the deposits from dealers that serve as a security (collectively, the “Acquired Business”).

The consideration to the Sellers for the Acquired Business will be as follows:

•

At the closing, approximately $360 million will be paid (the “Base Consideration”), plus the amount of cash and inventory in stores on the closing date, deposit amounts and other collateral provided by the dealers and amounts on account of other adjustments to take place at and following the Closing Date.

•

On each of the first five anniversaries of the closing date, the Sellers will be paid an amount of $4.5 million (total of $22.5 million) (the “Additional Consideration”). If the Sellers will be entitled to amounts on account of the Contingent Consideration (as defined below), these amounts will initially be applied to accelerate payments on account of the Additional Consideration.

•

An amount of up to $42.5 million (the “Contingent Consideration”) will be paid to the Sellers according to mechanisms set forth in the purchase agreement, with regard to the occurrence of the following events during the five years from the closing (the “Earnout Period”): (i) sale and lease to third parties or transfer to self-operation by GPM of sites which leases to third parties expired or are scheduled to expire during the Earnout Period, (ii) renewal of agreements with dealers at sites not leased or owned by GPM which agreements expired or are scheduled to expire during the Earnout Period, (iii) improvement in the terms of the agreements with fuel suppliers (with regard to the Acquired Business and/or GPM’s sites as of the closing date), (iv) improvement in the terms of the agreements with transportation companies (with regard to the Acquired Business and/or GPM’s sites as of the closing date), and (v) the closing of additional wholesale transactions that the Sellers has engaged in prior to the closing date. The measurement and payment of the Contingent Consideration will be made once a year.

F-12

The leases from the Sellers will be for a term of 15 years, which can be extended by six additional five year terms, in consideration for an initial annual base rent payment of approximately $4.2 million, with increases during the term of the lease as set forth in the lease agreement. GPM will be granted options to purchase the sites during and at the end of the initial five year term and will have a right of first refusal to purchase the assets in the event of sale of the assets to third parties during such term, all as determined in the lease agreements.

The purchase agreement includes the Sellers’ undertaking to indemnify GPM for certain breaches of representations and warranties made by the Sellers as specified in the purchase agreement, subject to certain time and amounts limitations as determined in the purchase agreement.

The Base Consideration is expected to be paid by GPM and GPMP primarily by use of the Capital One Line of Credit (see Note 4 below regarding the increase of the Capital One Line of Credit in April 2020), and the Ares Loan as defined in Note 4 below.

The closing of the Empire Acquisition is subject to fulfillment of conditions precedent which include, among other matters, obtaining the approvals required by law from regulators, consents and certification from third parties relating to the assignment of the rights in the Acquired Business and receiving undertakings for title insurance for the ownership in sites that will be purchased as part of the Empire Acquisition.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, if the Empire Acquisition does not close by September 30, 2020, each party will have the right to cancel the agreement (or extend the period to close by 30 days), except if the Empire Acquisition is not closed due to circumstances beyond the other party’s reasonable control or as a result of a breach of the agreement by the party seeking cancellation. On August 25, 2020, the Company received the approval for the Empire Acquisition in accordance with U.S. antitrust law, without imposing on GPM any material undertakings. Ares extended the financing commitment as described in Note 4 below. GPM and the Sellers are working to fulfill the conditions precedent to closing in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2020, however, there is no certainty that the Empire Acquisition will close.

Ares Credit Agreement

On the Ares Closing Date, GPM entered into an agreement with Ares to provide to GPM financing in a total amount of up to $347 million (the “Ares Credit Agreement” and the “Ares Loan” out of which the Company committed to provide GPM up to $47 million, as part of a syndication that was planned by Ares for the loan). On May 27, 2020, an amendment to the Ares Credit Agreement was signed pursuant to which the Ares Loan amount was reduced to a total of up to $225 million, as detailed below, which was in accordance with Ares eligibility under the Ares Credit Agreement to reduce up to $75 million of the total Ares Loan amount. In addition, the Company’s commitment to provide GPM up to $47 million was cancelled and instead on June 30, 2020, the Company provided GPM and certain other fully owned subsidiaries a $25.0 million related-party loan secured by first degree liens on assets owned by GPM and certain other fully owned subsidiaries and Ares and PNC released their liens on such assets.

The following is a description of the key terms of the Ares Credit Agreement as amended in the May 2020 amendment.

A loan in the amount of up to $225 million comprised of the following:

•

Initial Term Loan — $162 million that was provided on the Ares Closing Date. The Initial Term Loan and the proceeds of the Class F Membership Units (as described in Note 3 above) were primarily used by GPM to repay the entire outstanding balance of the GPM’s related-party loans in the total amount of approximately $118 million, as well as to prepay the outstanding balance of the term loans from PNC for a total amount of $39.5 million.

•

Delayed Term Loan A — per the May 2020 amendment up to $63 million (instead of $135 million pursuant to the Ares Credit Agreement from February 28, 2020) that is to be used by GPM to finance

F-14

part of the consideration in the Empire Acquisition described in Note 3 above (including working capital) or investment in GPMP in exchange for an additional percentage, that, pursuant to an amendment entered into in August 2020, can be borrowed in two drawings to be made no later than October 10, 2020. The obligation is subject to not having any material changes in the Empire transaction not approved by Ares.

All of the above will bear the same terms as to payment terms, interest and liens.

The Ares Loan principal is being paid in four equal quarterly installments in a total amount of 1% per annum with the remaining balance due on the maturity date of February 28, 2027. GPM is entitled to prepay the Ares Loan at any time, without penalty provided that if the prepayment is made before the end of one year from the Ares Closing Date, a fee of 1% will be paid.

The Ares Loan bears interest, as elected by GPM at: (a) a rate per annum equal to the Ares Alternative Base Rate (“Ares ABR”) plus a margin of 3.75%, or (b) LIBOR as defined in the agreement (not less than 1.5%) plus a margin of 4.75%. After one year from the Ares Closing Date, if the Leverage Ratio will be lower than 4.00 to 1, the margin will be reduced to 3.625% and 4.625%, respectively. The interest is being paid in quarterly installments under Ares ABR loans, and for LIBOR loans, the interest is being paid at the end of each LIBOR period but at least every three months. For unused portions of the Ares Credit Agreement, 1% per annum is being paid.

Ares ABR is equal to the greatest of: (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, all as defined in the agreement.

For details regarding the pledges provided to Ares as well as the limitations and covenants included under the Ares Credit Agreement, refer to Note 24 to the annual financial statements.

Financing Agreements with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”)

On the Ares Closing Date, the outstanding balance of the PNC term loans (as described in Note 11 to the annual financial statements) in the amount of approximately $39.5 million was fully paid (other than the $32.4 million GPMP PNC Term Loan, which is secured by US Treasury or other investment grade securities equal to 98% of the outstanding principal amount).

GPM, certain other fully owned subsidiaries and PNC entered into an amendment, restatement and consolidation of the current financing agreements between the parties (the “PNC Credit Line Agreement”).

The PNC Credit Line Agreement consolidated the GPM PNC Line of Credit and the Holdco PNC Line of Credit (as defined in Note 11 to the annual financial statements) into one credit line in the amount of up to $110 million (the “PNC Line of Credit”), which, at the request of GPM, can be increased up to $150 million, subject to PNC’s discretion.

The PNC Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPM at: (a) LIBOR as defined in the PNC Credit Line Agreement plus a margin of 1.75% or (b) a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin of 0.5%, which is equal to the greatest of (a) the PNC base rate, (b) the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.5%, and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%, subject to the definitions set in the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

Beginning in April 2020, every quarter the LIBOR margin rate is updated based on the quarterly average undrawn availability of the PNC Line of Credit, so that in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability of greater than or equal to 50%, the margin is reduced to 1.25%; in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability less than 50% and greater than or equal to 25%, the margin is reduced to 1.5%; and in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability less than 25%, the margin is 1.75%. For the second quarter ended June 30,

F-15

2020 and for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, the LIBOR margin rate was 1.75% and 1.25%, respectively. Beginning in April 2020, the alternate base rate margin rate is updated according to the quarterly average undrawn availability to 0%, 0.25% and 0.5%, based on the credit line usage percentages above, respectively. Interest is paid in monthly installments provided that for LIBOR loans, interest is paid at the end of each LIBOR period. For unused amounts of PNC Line of Credit, a fee of 0.375% per annum is paid.

The calculation of the availability under the PNC Line of Credit is determined monthly subject to terms and limitations as set forth in the PNC Credit Line Agreement, taking into account the balances of receivables, inventory and letters of credit, among other things.

No change was made to the maturity date and the ability to prepay (subject to prepayment fee) the PNC Line of Credit as described in Note 11 to the annual financial statements.

As part of the amendment, definitions in the PNC Credit Line Agreement were changed to conform to the Ares Credit Agreement.

In accordance with the PNC Credit Line Agreement, letters of credit availability was increased to $40.0 million (instead of $22.0 million as of December 31, 2019). The annual cost of the amount of letters of credit issued was 1.5% of the amount of the letters of credit issued until April 2020 and beginning in April 2020, once every quarter the cost will be updated according to the quarterly average undrawn availability, so that in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability of greater than or equal to 50%, the annual cost will be reduced to 1.0%; in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability less than 50% and greater than or equal to 25%, the annual cost will be reduced to 1.25%; and in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability less than 25%, the annual cost will be 1.5%. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 and for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, the annual cost of the amount of letters of credit issued is 1.5% and 1.0%, respectively.

For details regarding intercreditor agreement, restrictions and limitations and collateral provided under the PNC Credit Line Agreement, see Note 11 to the annual financial statements.

Financing agreement with a syndication of banks led by Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”)

As GPM anticipates that the majority of the consideration for the Empire Acquisition (as described in Note 3 above) will be funded through the Capital One Line of Credit, on April 1, 2020, GPMP entered into an amendment whereby the Capital One Line of Credit (as described in Note 11 to the annual financial statements) was increased from $300 million to $500 million, in accordance with commitments in a total amount of $200 million (the “Increased Amount”) received from US banks, led by Capital One, which Increased Amount was committed by most of the banks in the current syndication of the Capital One Line of Credit along with one additional bank.

The commitment to the Increased Amount is contingent upon the completion of the Empire Acquisition as described in Note 3 above without any material changes affecting the lenders, including GPMP’s leverage ratio (pro forma) after the transaction is completed not to exceed 4.15 to 1.00. In addition, the commitment is subject to customary conditions which include, among others, the lack of a material adverse change in GPMP status and the completion of final stages of due diligence by lenders.

At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $700 million (instead of a possible increase up to $500 million), subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain terms as detailed in the Capital One Line of Credit. The undertaking to provide the increase will remain in effect until no later than December 31, 2020 and will be cancelled prior to such date in the event that the Empire Acquisition has not taken place or is financed using other sources.

In accordance with the agreement, letters of credit availability was increased to $40.0 million (instead of $10.0 million as of December 31, 2019).

F-16

No other substantial terms of the Capital One Credit Facility were changed, other than proforma adjustments that will be included after the closing of the Empire Transaction.

Financing Agreements with M&T Bank

On May 7, 2020, an amendment was signed to conform the agreements and limitations that are included in the financing agreements with M&T as described in Note 11 to the annual financial statements with those in the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

Financial Covenants

To the extent that the Bonds (Series C and H) are outstanding, the Company has undertaken to meet certain financial covenants, including a net financial debt to net CAP ratio, GPM’s store level EBITDA and GPM’s financial debt to GPM’s store level EBITDA ratio, each as defined under the applicable deed of trust. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all terms and commitments in accordance with the Bonds’ (Series C and H) deeds of trust.

The PNC Credit Line Agreement includes reporting requirements which are applicable in cases when the usage of the PNC Credit Line exceeds certain limitations set, and it is also required that the undrawn availability use of the credit line will equal to or be greater than 10%, subject to exceptions included in the PNC Credit Line Agreement. As of the June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these requirements.

Until May 7, 2020, the M&T Term Loan agreement included financial covenants as were set in the GPM PNC Facility. The amendment signed with M&T as described above included the cancellation of the requirement to comply with said financial covenants and added a requirement to include compliance with the Leverage Ratio detailed below.

The Ares Credit Agreement and the M&T Term Loan include a leverage ratio covenant.

The M&T Term Loan also requires GPM to maintain a debt service coverage ratio.

The GPMP PNC Term Loan and the Capital One Credit Facility require GPMP to maintain the certain financial covenants, including leverage ratio and interest coverage expense ratio.

As of June 30, 2020, the Group was in compliance with the obligations and financial covenants under the terms and provisions of its loans.

5. Leases

As of June 30, 2020, the Group leases 1,084 of the convenience stores that it operates, 58 dealer locations and certain office spaces used by GPM as its headquarters in the US and the Company’s headquarters in Israel. Most of the lease agreements are for long-term periods, ranging from 15 to 25 years, and generally include several options for extension periods for five to 10 years each. The leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options as outlined in the agreements. Additionally, the Group leases certain store equipment, office equipment, automatic tank gauges, store lighting, fuel dispensers.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

GPM is a party to various legal actions, as both plaintiff and defendant, in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management believes, based on GPM estimations with support from legal counsel for these matters, that these actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of GPM business and is that it is not reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

7. Shareholders’ Equity

Rights Offering

In April and May 2020, rights were exercised for the purchase of 66,699,053 ordinary shares of the Company offered by way of a rights offering, according to a shelf offering report published by the Company in April 2020, in exchange for a gross amount of $11.4 million. The Company adjusted the basic and diluted earnings per share retroactively for the bonus element for all periods presented.

11. Segment Reporting

The reportable segments were determined based on information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for operational decision-making purposes and the segment information is prepared on the same basis that our chief operating decision maker reviews such financial information. The Company’s reporting segments, are the retail segment, the wholesale segment and the GPMP segment. The Company defines segment earnings as operating income.

The retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores which include convenience stores selling fuel products and other merchandise to retail customers. At its Group operated convenience stores, the Group owns the merchandise and fuel inventory and employs personnel to manage the store.

The wholesale segment supplies fuel to independent dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk purchasers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For consignment arrangements, the Group retains ownership of the fuel inventory at the site, is responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer, and shares the gross profit with the independent outside operators.

The GPMP segment includes GPMP and primarily includes the sale and supply of fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries selling fuel (both in the Retail and Wholesale segments) at GPMP’s cost of fuel including taxes and transportation plus a fixed margin (4.5 cents per gallon as of June 30, 2020) and the supply of fuel to a small number of independent outside operators and bulk purchasers.

The “All Other” segment includes the results of non-reportable segments which do not meet both quantitative and qualitive criteria as defined under ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

The majority of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, net other expenses, net interest and other financing expenses and income taxes are not allocated to the segments, as well as minor other income items including intercompany operating leases.

With the exception of goodwill, assets and liabilities relevant to reportable segments are not assigned to any particular segment, but rather, managed at the consolidated level. All segment revenues were generated from sites within the US and substantially all assets were within the US. No external customer represented more than 10% of revenues.

F-21

Inter-segment transactions primarily included the distribution of fuel by GPMP to GPM and its subsidiaries selling fuel (both in the Retail and Wholesale segments). The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the interim financial statements.

12. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, and restricted cash in respect with Company’s bonds, trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 primarily due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term debt approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset based on changes in prevailing interest rates.

The Bonds (Series C) were presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of the Bonds (Series C) was $70.9 million and $86.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value measurements were classified as Level 1.

13. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its quarterly tax provision pursuant to the guidelines in ASC 740-270, Income Taxes. Generally, ASC 740-270 requires companies to estimate the annual effective tax rate for current year ordinary income. The estimated annual effective tax rate represents the best estimate of the tax provision in relation to the best estimate of pre-tax ordinary income or loss. The estimated annual effective tax rate is then applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss to calculate the year-to-date interim tax provision.

14. Subsequent Events

In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 9, 2020, which is the date these interim financial statements were available to be issued (the “issuance date”). Other than the events described in Note 3 above and below, no other events were identified that required recognition or disclosure in these interim financial statements.

COVID-19 – Coronavirus

An outbreak of COVID-19 began in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since the second half of March 2020, the pandemic has caused the issuance of orders in the US by the federal government, as well as governments of states and localities within the US, in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus (such as restrictions on gathering and the closure of certain businesses).

F-24

During this period and until the issuance date of the interim financial statements, GPM’s convenience stores and independent outside operations continue to operate and remain open to the public as convenience store operations and gas stations are deemed an essential business by numerous federal and state authorities, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and therefore are exempt from many of the restrictions that were, or are currently, imposed on the activity of US businesses. Commencing in May 2020, various states and localities began to gradually ease their stay-at-home orders and the orders requiring certain types of businesses to be closed. In addition, during this period and until the issuance date of the interim financial statements, the supply of products and gas to GPM’s convenience stores and gas stations has continued without any significant interruption. During this period and until the issuance date of the interim financial statements, there were positive impacts on the Company’s results of operations as measured regularly on the basis of segment operating income.

This increase in segment operating income was principally due to the significant increase in the fuel margin, which partially resulted from the material drop in fuel prices commencing at the beginning of March 2020 and continuing through the end of April 2020, despite the significant reduction in the amount of gallons sold in the gas stations as a result of COVID-19 beginning in the second half of March 2020. Although fuel prices began to gradually increase in May 2020, fuel margin remained at higher levels than those achieved historically. Further, beginning in May 2020, stay-at-home orders began to be eased which resulted in an increase in the amount of gallons sold compared to prior weeks.

In light of the reduction in the amount of gallons sold, GPM’s principal fuel suppliers have temporarily revoked (for periods that vary among the different suppliers) the requirements under their agreements with GPMP to purchase minimum quantities of gallons, including such requirements under the incentive agreements from such suppliers. As of June 30, 2020, the reduction in gallons sold does not affect GPMP’s compliance with its commitments under the agreements with its principal suppliers.

During the second half of March 2020, there was a reduction in the merchandise revenue from GPM’s convenience stores and in the gross margin rate from such revenues. However, from the beginning of April 2020 and through the issuance date of the interim financial statements, GPM experienced growth in merchandise revenue and gross margin rate from such revenues as a result of shifting consumer demand from other retail channels to convenience stores and the continued increase in revenues for products in high demand, such as face masks and hand sanitizers.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19. The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package that includes spending and tax breaks to strengthen the US economy and fund a nationwide effort to curtail the effect of COVID-19. The CARES Act, among other things, increases the interest deductibility from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for tax years beginning in 2019 and 2020; permits net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021; allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes; accelerates refunds of any remaining alternative minimum tax carryforwards to the 2019 tax year; and changes the depreciable life of qualified improvement property to 15 years for income tax purposes making it eligible for bonus depreciation. Additionally, GPM is able to defer payment of the total accrued amount of the employer portion of the FICA payroll tax from the date of the enactment of the CARES Act until December 31, 2020. Half of that deferment must be paid by December 31, 2021 and the remaining half must be paid by December 31, 2022. The Company estimates that the positive impact expected from the CARES Act on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows is not significant.

Since the pandemic is an event that is characterized by great uncertainty, as well as rapid and frequent changes, among other things, in connection with the pace of limiting the spread of the pandemic and the future measures that will be taken in order to prevent it from spreading, the Company cannot evaluate nor estimate the entire impact of the pandemic on its business operations as well as its results of operations.

F-25

The pandemic is an event that is out of the Company’s control and its continuance and evolvement may include, among other things: (a) an increase or decrease in demand for products sold in convenience stores and gas stations; (b) disruptions or suspension of the Company’s activities as a result of imposing restrictions on customer and employee traffic, among other things; (c) disruptions or delays in delivering products to the Company and limiting employee availability; (d) restrictions on the sale and pricing of certain types of products; and (e) changes in laws at federal, state and local levels related to the pandemic. Any changes or developments, as well as the length of the pandemic and its impact on the US economy, may adversely affect the Company’s business operations as well as its results of operations.

Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II Business Combination Agreement

On September 9, 2020, a business combination agreement (“BCA”) was entered into between the Company, GPM, Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II (“HYAC”), a special purpose acquisition company which raised in June 2019 approximately $400 million initial public offering, and newly-formed fully owned subsidiaries of HYAC that were formed in order to enable the consummation of the merger transaction (the “Merger Transaction”).

Below are the primary terms regarding the BCA and additional binding agreements that were signed simultaneously with its execution.

Structure of the Merger Transaction: At the date of completion of the Merger Transaction (the “HYAC Closing Date”), as part of mergers that will take place, the Company and HYAC will become wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries of Arko Corp., which was formed as part of the Merger Agreement and which commencing from the HYAC Closing Date, its shares will be trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange and the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (“Arko Corp.”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the third parties who hold a portion of the equity rights in GPM (the “GPM Minority”) entered into an agreement with HYAC for the sale of all of their rights, directly or indirectly, in GPM based on the value of the Merger Transaction, so that after the merger, Arko Corp. will directly and indirectly hold full ownership and control of GPM.

Following the Merger Transaction, the Company’s shares will be delisted from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the Company is planned to become a ‘Bond Company’ (within the meaning of this term by the Israeli Companies Law, 1999) and a ‘Reporting Corporation’ (within the meaning of this term by the Israeli Securities Law, 1968).

Consideration for the Business Combination: The Company’s shareholders will receive in total up to $717.3 million (and will be entitled to choose between three separate payout methods as detailed below) and the GPM Minority will receive in total $337.7 million, such that the total purchase consideration will be $1.055 billion (“Gross Consideration Value”). The consideration election of the Company’s shareholders shall be made no later than the closing date of the business combination.

Option A (Stock Consideration): The number of shares validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Arko Corp. equal to the quotient of (i) such holder’s Gross Consideration Value divided by (ii) $10.00.

Option B (Mixed Consideration): (A) a cash amount equal to 10% of such holder’s Gross Consideration Value (the ��Cash Option B Amount”) plus (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Arko Corp. equal to (i) such holder’s Gross Consideration Value divided by $10.00, minus (ii) such holder’s Cash Option B Amount divided by $8.50.

Option C (Mixed Consideration): (A) a cash amount equal to 20.913% of such holder’s Gross Consideration Value (the “Cash Option C Amount”) plus (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Arko Corp. equal to (i) such holder’s Gross Consideration Value divided by $10.00, minus (ii) such holders Cash Option C Amount divided by $8.50.

The controlling shareholders of the Company, Mr. Kotler and Mr. Willner, announced that they would choose only one of Option A or Option B. Therefore, the total cash consideration to the total shareholders of the Company will not exceed approximately $100 million.

F-26

The GPM Minority announced that they will receive all of the merger consideration in Arko Corp. shares. The agreement with the GPM Minority includes special arrangements with Ares with regard to their holdings in GPM including: (i) issuance of 1.1 million warrants by Arko Corp. exercisable into 1.1 million shares in lieu of the Ares Warrants; and (ii) arrangement that grants Ares a value of $27.3 million for their shares in Arko Corp. at the end of three years from the HYAC Closing Date by way of purchase of the shares or allotment of additional shares of Arko Corp.

Dividend distribution or additional consideration to the Company’s shareholders: According to the Merger Agreement, the Company is entitled through the HYAC Closing Date to declare a dividend in the amount up to its excess cash balances as defined below (subject to obtaining the required approvals by law) or alternatively notify HYAC that its cash surplus will be paid in cash to the Company’s shareholders on the HYAC Closing Date as additional merger consideration. The cash surplus will be determined near the HYAC Closing Date based on the amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash with respect to the Company’s bonds) in excess of the outstanding indebtedness (which include mainly repayments in respect of principal and interest of the Company’s bonds) plus the balance of any loans the Company made to GPM (including accrued interest).

The share capital of Arko Corp. following the HYAC Closing Date and details regarding the holdings of Haymaker’s Founders: According to HYAC’s prospectus dated June 2019, 40 million shares were allotted to the public at a price of $10 per share together with approximately 13.3 million warrants exercisable for a period of five years from the HYAC Closing Date to approximately 13.3 million shares in consideration for an exercise price of $11.50 per share. In addition, 0.5 million warrants were issued to financial institutions as part of the public issuance.

At the time of the above allotment, the HYAC’s Founders (“Haymaker Founders”) were allotted 10 million shares of HYAC, for a nominal consideration, together with 5.55 million warrants allotted in consideration for $8.325 million exercisable for a period of five years from the HYAC Closing Date to 5.5 million shares in consideration for an exercise price of $11.50 per share. On the HYAC Closing Date, 5 million shares out of 10 million shares that HYAC’s sponsor is entitled to and 2 million warrants, out of 5.55 million warrants they are entitled to, will be forfeited, so that at the HYAC Closing Date, the Haymaker Founders will be entitled to 5 million shares and 3.55 million warrants in Arko Corp. and to an additional 2 million shares of Arko Corp. subject to the share price of Arko Corp. reaching $13.00 or higher within five years from the HYAC Closing Date and to an additional 2 million shares subject to the share price of Arko Corp. reaching $15.00 or higher within seven years from the HYAC Closing Date.

At the HYAC Closing Date, Mr. Kotler is expected to hold 15.1% to 17.3% of Arko Corp.’s share capital and Mr. Willner is expected to hold 14% to 16% of Arko Corp.’s share capital.

Arko Corp.’s Board of Directors: The Board of Directors of Arko Corp. will be a staggered board consisting, as of the HYAC Closing Date, of seven directors, four of whom will be determined by the Company (including Mr. Kotler who will serve as chairman of the board), two directors who will be determined by HYAC and one director who will be determined by agreement between HYAC and the Company. Mr. Willner and some of the Haymaker Founders undertook that as long as they hold shares of Arko Corp. for a period of seven years from the HYAC Closing Date, they will vote their shares in favor of Mr. Kotler’s appointment to the board of directors of Arko Corp., subject to mechanisms set forth in the agreements.

Mr. Kotler’s tenure at Arko Corp.: Together with the engagement in the binding agreements, Mr. Kotler entered into an employment agreement with Arko Corp., according to which Mr. Kotler will serve as CEO of Arko Corp. and in accordance with the binding agreements will serve, in addition, as chairman of the board of Arko Corp.

Representations and Additional Provisions: The Merger Agreement includes representations by the Company (with respect to it, GPM and its other subsidiaries) and HYAC as customary in such

F-27

agreements. In accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement, the presentations made in its framework will expire on the HYAC Closing Date. In addition, the Merger Agreement stipulates provisions for the interim period between the date of signing the agreement and the HYAC Closing Date as is customary in such agreements, mechanisms for release from the Merger Agreement and clauses terminating the Merger Agreement, including reference to termination fee and capital incentive plan after the HYAC Closing Date.

Registration Document: HYAC intends that Arko Corp. will submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a draft Registration Statement which includes a prospectus (on Form S-4) (the “Registration Statement”). The approval of the Registration Statement by the SEC is a condition to convene the HYAC shareholders’ meeting for the approval of the Merger Transaction and the offering of Arko Corp.’s securities to the Company’s shareholders as part of the Merger Transaction.

Closing Conditions to the Merger Transaction: The consummation of the Merger Transaction is subject to, among other things, the fulfillment of closing conditions, the primary of which are as follows: (1) approval by HYAC’s shareholders of the Merger Transaction; (2) HYAC’s cash balance prior to the HYAC Closing Date will be at least $ 275 million; (3) approval by the Company’s shareholders of the Merger Transaction; (4) receipt of approvals from certain third parties required to consummate the transaction as specified in the Merger Agreement; (5) the closing of the purchase of the holdings of the GPM Minority concurrently with the closing of the Merger Transaction; (6) the closing of the Empire transaction without a material adverse change to its terms (refer to Note 3 above); (7) the Registration Statement being declared effective in accordance with US securities law; and (8) registration of the shares of Arko Corp. on the Nasdaq and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for dual listing.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if the HYAC Closing Date has not occurred by January 31, 2021, either party will be entitled to cancel the Merger Agreement. However, in the event the Registration Statement will not be approved by the SEC by November 12, 2020, the aforesaid deadline will be automatically postponed to March 31, 2021.

The parties intend to work to close the Merger Transaction by the end of 2020, however, there is no certainty that this will be possible in light of the closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, as set forth above, including dependency on consents, approvals and actions of third parties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders of Arko Holdings Ltd.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arko Holdings Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes and financial statement schedule I (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of matter

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019, related to the method of accounting for leases. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, management may make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; impairment of goodwill, intangible, right-of-use and fixed assets; useful lives of fixed assets; environmental assets and liabilities; deferred tax assets; and asset retirement obligations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) and the reporting currency is the US dollar.

A substantial portion of the Company’s costs on a standalone basis are incurred in NIS and the Company finances its operations on a standalone basis mainly in NIS. As such, the Company’s management believes that the NIS is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Thus, the functional currency of the Company is NIS.

F-37

The revenues of GPM and its subsidiaries are generated in US dollars. In addition, most of the costs of GPM and its subsidiaries are incurred in US dollars. The Company’s management believes that the US dollar is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the GPM and its subsidiaries operates. Thus, the functional currency of GPM and its subsidiaries is the US dollar.

Transactions and balances that are denominated in currencies that differ from the functional currencies have been remeasured into US dollars in accordance with principles set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830, Foreign Currency Matters. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. All exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement mentioned above are reflected in the statement of operations as financial expenses or income, as appropriate.

For the Company and its investee whose functional currency has been determined to be other than the US dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, and statement of operations items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting translation differences are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, which are not restricted, to be cash equivalents, of which there were $21.1 million and $14.3 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $3.3 million and $14.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively, were denominated in NIS. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

The Group classifies as restricted cash any cash and cash equivalents that are currently restricted from use in order to comply with agreements with third parties, including cash related to net lottery proceeds.

Restricted Cash with Respect to the Company’s Bonds

The Group classifies designated cash for specific use only in accordance with the provisions as established in the bonds’ Deeds of Trust, as defined in Note 11 below, as restricted cash with respect to Company’s bonds . These amounts are deposited in a financial institution as Reserved Principal and Interest and are intended for use according to the Bonds (Series C) Deed of Trust, as defined in Note 11 below. The designated cash is classified as current assets and non-current assets according to the date on which the Company is expected to use the balances or according to the nature of the assets to which they are designated. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $3.4 million and $5.9 million of restricted cash, respectively, with respect to the Company’s bonds was denominated in NIS.

Trade Receivables

The majority of trade receivables are typically from dealers, customer credit accounts and credit card companies in the ordinary course of business. As such, GPM has not experienced significant write-offs for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. At each balance sheet date, GPM assesses its need for an allowance for potential losses in the collection of its receivables and records an allowance using past experience and on a specific basis with regard to debts as to which evidence exists that GPM does not have the ability to collect the balance of the debt. Balances due in respect of credit cards processed through GPM’s fuel suppliers are collected within two to three days depending upon the day of the week of the purchase and time of day of the purchase. Receivables from dealers and customer credit accounts are typically due within two to 30 days and are stated as amounts due. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. GPM writes off receivable amounts after determination that the balances are uncollectible.

F-38

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the average cost, net of vendor rebates or discounts in the event that they can be attributed to inventory, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, which approximates the actual cost of the inventory. The net realizable value is an estimate of the sales price in the ordinary course of business less an estimate of the costs required in order to execute the sale. The Group periodically reviews inventory for obsolescence and records a charge to merchandise costs for any amounts required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value.

Restricted Investments

Restricted investments consist primarily of US Treasury and other investment grade securities with maturities no longer than one year. Investments are considered held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. When applicable, the cost of securities sold will be based on the specific identification method. The balance of the restricted investments at December 31, 2019 and 2018 secured 98% of the outstanding principal amount of the GPMP PNC Term Loan as defined and described in Note 11 below, and will secure this balance until the loan is fully repaid. As a result, the balance was classified as a non-current asset.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost or, if acquired through a business combination, at the fair value of the assets as of the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged directly to expense when incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:


	Range in Years
Buildings and leasehold improvements		15 to 40
Signs		5 to 15
Other equipment (primarily office equipment)		5 to 7
Computers, software and licenses		3 to 5
Motor vehicles		7
Fuel equipment		5 to 30
Equipment in convenience stores		5 to 15

Amortization of leasehold improvements is recorded using the straight-line method based upon the shorter of the remaining terms of the leases including renewal periods that are reasonably assured or the estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Group reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, right-of-use assets and amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If a review indicates that the assets will not be recoverable, based on the expected undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value and the asset’s carrying value is reduced to fair value. Impairment losses related to property and equipment and right-of-use assets of $5.1 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million were recorded in relation to closed and non-performing stores during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. No impairment was recognized for long-lived intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Business Combinations

The Group applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, and allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed based on their

F-39

estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets.

If, after reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the excess is recognized immediately within the other expenses (income), net in the consolidated statements of operations as a gain on bargain purchase. In subsequent periods, the goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s reporting units (or groups of reporting units) expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination are recorded at fair value as of the date acquired. Amortization of finite lived intangible assets is provided using the straight-line method of amortization over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets as follows:


		Range in Years
Goodwill		Indefinite life
Trade names		5
Customer relationships		9 to 14
Fuel supply agreements		5 to 10
Option to acquire ownership rights		5 to 15
Option to develop stores		5
Franchise rights		3 to 20

Goodwill is reviewed annually on December 31 for impairment, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as disruptions in the business, unexpected significant declines in operating results or a sustained market capitalization decline. Goodwill is tested for impairment by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by performing an assumed purchase price allocation, using the reporting unit’s fair value (as determined in the first step) as the purchase price. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Group completed the annual impairment analyses for goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, and no impairment was recognized.

Non-controlling Interest

These consolidated financial statements reflect the application of ASC 810, Consolidation, which establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within shareholders’ equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the

F-40

consolidated statements of operations, and (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently.

The Company’s investments in GPM and GPMP are accounted for under the method of accounting referred to as the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBV”) for allocating the profits and losses. In accordance with this method, profits and losses are allocated between the Company and the non-controlling interest assuming at the end of the reporting period, GPM and GPMP would liquidate or distribute its assets and redeem its liabilities at their book value. Refer to Note 3.G. below for further details.

Due to the terms of GPMP’s Agreement of Limited Partnership as described below, and the preference provided to the Investor (as defined in Note 3.G. below) in the monthly distributions of GPMP as well as in liquidation, the Investor’s investment was classified in the consolidated statements of changes in equity as ‘Non-controlling interests.’ A non-controlling interest was also recorded for the interests owned by the seller of the Fuel USA sites (the “Apple Seller”) and the seller of the Riiser sites (the “Riiser Seller).

Equity Investment

For equity investments that are not required to be consolidated, the Company evaluates the level of influence it is able to exercise over an entity’s operations to determine whether to use the equity method of accounting. Equity investments for which the Company determines that the Company has significant influence are accounted for as equity method investment. The Company evaluates its equity method investment presented for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investment may be impaired.

Since January 2014, the Company holds joint control (50%) of Ligad Investments and Construction Ltd., which is presented on the Company’s books using the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2019, Ligad owes the Company approximately $0.7 million, bearing interest at the prime rate plus 1% and payable on December 31, 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued.

Significant estimates of fair value for the Group include, among other items, assets purchased through acquisitions, tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations and certain leases. The Group also uses fair value measurements to routinely assess impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services.

F-41

The adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), on January 1, 2018, did not materially change the Group’s revenue recognition patterns. The principles for recognizing revenue as codified in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, were applied during the year ended December 31, 2017. No restatements to revenues or expenses were required to be made to the consolidated statements of operations as the Group adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method.

The Group’s revenue recognition patterns are described below by reportable segment:

Retail

•

Fuel revenue and merchandise revenue — Revenues from the sale of merchandise and fuel less discounts given and returns are recognized upon delivery, which is the point at which control and title is transferred, the customer has accepted the product and the customer has significant risks and rewards of owning the product. The Group typically has a right to payment once control of the product is transferred to the customer. Transaction prices for these products are typically at market rates for the product at the time of delivery. Payment terms require customers to pay shortly after delivery and do not contain significant financing components.

•

Customer loyalty program — GPM’s customer loyalty program provides GPM’s customers rights to purchase products at a lower price or at no cost in future periods. The sale of products in accordance with GPM’s loyalty program are recognized as multiple performance obligations. The consideration for the sale is allocated to each performance obligation identified in the contract (the actual purchases and the future purchases) on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Revenue for the rights granted is deferred and recognized on the date on which GPM completes its obligations in respect thereof or when it expires. The related contract liability for the customer loyalty program was approximately $1.9 million and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and was included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

•

Fuel taxes — Certain fuel and sales taxes are invoiced by fuel suppliers or collected from customers and remitted to governmental agencies either directly, or through suppliers, by GPM. Whether these taxes are presented on a gross or net basis is dependent on whether GPM is acting as a principal or agent in the sales transaction. Fuel excise taxes are presented on a gross basis for fuel sales because GPM is acting as the primary obligor, has pricing latitude, and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks. Fuel revenue and fuel cost of revenue included fuel taxes of $500.1 million, $464.1 million and $363.1 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

•

Commissions on sales of lottery products, money orders and prepaid value cards — The Group recognizes a commission on the sale of lottery products, money orders, and sales of prepaid value cards (gift or cash cards) at the time of the sale to the consumer.

F-42

GPMP

•

GPMP recognizes revenue upon delivery of the fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries selling fuel (both in the Retail and Wholesale segments).

Wholesale

•

Consignment transactions — In transactions of this type, GPM continues to be the owner of the fuel until the date of sale to the final customer (the consumer). In these transactions, the gross profit which is created from the sale of the fuel is allocated between GPM and the outside operator based on the terms of the relevant agreement with the outside operator. GPM recognizes revenues on the date of the sale to the final customer (namely, upon dispensing of the fuel by the consumer which is the date of transfer of control, risks and rewards to the final customer).

•

Fuel supply transactions — In transactions of this type, the outside operator purchases the fuel from GPM. GPM recognizes revenue upon delivery of the fuel to the outside operator (executed by an outside delivery company) which is the date of transfer of control, risks and rewards to the outside operator. In transactions of this type, the sales price to the outside operator is determined according to the cost price of the fuel to GPM plus the cost of transportation to the operator’s facility plus a margin as stated in the relevant agreement with the outside operator.

Refer to Note 21 for disclosure of the revenue disaggregated by segment and product line, as well as a description of the Company’s reportable segment operations.

Fuel Costs and Merchandise Costs

The Group records discounts and rebates received from suppliers as a reduction of inventory cost if the discount or rebate is based upon purchases or to merchandise costs if the discount relates to product sold. Discounts and rebates conditional upon the volume of the purchases or on meeting certain other goals are included in the consolidated financial statements on a basis relative to the progress toward the goals required to obtain a discount or rebate, as long as receiving the discounts or rebates is reasonably assured and its amount can be reasonably estimated. The estimate of meeting the goals is based, among other things, on contract terms and historical purchases/sales as compared to required purchases/sales.

The Group includes in fuel costs all costs incurred to acquire fuel, including the costs of purchasing and transporting inventory prior to delivery to customers. The Group does not own transportation equipment and utilizes third-party carriers to transport fuel inventory to the retail location. Fuel costs do not include any depreciation of property and equipment as there are no significant amounts that could be attributed to fuel costs. Accordingly, depreciation is separately classified in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Group recognizes merchandise vendor rebates based upon the period of time in which it has completed the unit purchases and/or sales as specified in the merchandise vendor agreements. The Group records such rebates as a reduction of merchandise costs.

Certain upfront amounts paid by merchandise suppliers are presented as a liability and are recorded to operations as a reduction of merchandise costs on a straight-line basis relative to the period of the agreement. In the event that GPM does not comply with the conditions of the agreement with the supplier, GPM may be required to repay the unamortized balance of the amount received based on the amortization schedule as defined in each agreement with the merchandise suppliers. These amounts are classified in other non-current liabilities, except for the current maturity which is classified in other current liabilities.

Amounts paid to GPM by fuel suppliers for renovation and upgrade costs associated with the rebranding of gas stations are presented as a liability and are recorded to operations as a periodic reduction of fuel costs on a

F-43

straight-line basis relative to the period of the agreement. In the event that GPM does not comply with the conditions of the agreement with the supplier, GPM may be required to repay the unamortized balance of the grant to the supplier, based on the amortization schedule as defined in each applicable agreement. These grants are classified in other non-current liabilities, except for the current maturity which is classified in other current liabilities.

Total purchases from suppliers who accounted for 10% or more of total purchases for the periods presented were as follows:


	Year ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
	(in thousands)
Fuel products — Supplier A	$	401,657	$	453,559	$	408,497
Fuel products — Supplier B		420,805		410,995		347,700
Fuel products — Supplier C		290,935		310,223		252,599
Fuel products — Supplier D		307,029		305,452		176,964
Merchandise products — Supplier E		610,685		465,738		394,574

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures related to existing conditions, resulting from past or current operations and from which no current or future benefit is discernible, are expensed by the Group. A liability for environmental matters is established when it is probable that an environmental obligation exists and the cost can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of reasonably estimated costs, the most likely amount will be recorded, or if no amount is most likely, the minimum of the range is used. Related expenditures are charged against the liability. Expenditures that extend the life of the related property or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, net of co-op advertising reimbursement from certain vendors/suppliers, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were $4.0 million, $4.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and were included in store operating and general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they arise from the initial accounting for a business acquisition, in which case the tax affect is included in the accounting for the business acquisition. The current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided using the asset and liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred tax assets are recognized for future tax benefits and credit carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted by the end of the reporting periods. After determining the total amount of deferred tax assets, a determination is made as to whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. If it is determined that a deferred tax asset is not likely to be realized, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the Company had a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax relates to the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.

F-44

GPM is taxed as a partnership for US federal and certain state jurisdiction for income tax purposes. Certain subsidiaries of GPM are taxed as a corporation for US federal and state income tax purposes. The taxable income and loss from all activities of GPM, excluding the activities of GPM’s subsidiaries which are taxed as a corporation for US federal purposes, are included in the taxable income or loss of GPM’s members, including Arko Convenience Stores, LLC (“Arko Convenience”). As a result, current and deferred taxes reflected in the consolidated financial statements does not include the income or loss allocated to GPM members other than Arko Convenience.

Uncertain tax positions meeting the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

The Group classifies interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense on the statements of operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, by dividing net profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company (the numerator) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the reported period (the denominator). Diluted earnings per share are calculated, if applicable, by adjusting net profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares, taking into effect all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

Share-Based Compensation

ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), requires the cost of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statements of operations and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements. ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of grant.

Restricted share units are valued based on the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company records compensation expense for these awards based on the grant date fair value of the award, recognized ratably over the vesting period of the award.

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to stock-based awards with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company’s share-based compensation expense includes estimates for forfeitures. If actual forfeitures differ from estimates, the Company adjusts share-based compensation expense accordingly.

Employee Benefits

Pursuant to Israel’s Severance Pay Law (1963), Israeli employees are entitled to severance pay equal to one month’s wage per year employed, based on the average wages of the last year of employment. Most of the Company’s employees are subject to section 14 of the Severance Pay Law (“Section 14”), according to which the employee’s severance pay is paid in advance and on a monthly basis into the employee’s pension insurance. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees, therefore, related assets and liabilities are not presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

GPM has a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees who may contribute up to 75% of eligible wages as defined in the plan, subject to limitations defined in the plan and applicable law. GPM matches a percentage of employee contributions according to the plan, subject to applicable law. GPM’s expense for matching contributions was approximately $237 thousand, $185 thousand and $165 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

F-45

Leases — Prior to January 1, 2019

General

Lease arrangements were classified as capital leases when the terms of the contract conveyed all significant risks and benefits derived from ownership to the lessee. The remaining leases were classified as operating leases.

The minimum lease payments included periods where an option was reasonably certain to be exercised as of the date of the commitment. The minimum lease payments did not include contingent rent which was that portion of the lease payments that was not fixed in amount but was based on the future amount of a factor that changes other than with the passage of time (i.e. future consumer price index increases, rental payments which are contingent upon fuel and merchandise sales). The contingent rent payments were accounted as expense in the period in which they were incurred. In instances where it was determined that an increase in the consumer price index coupled with a multiplier and a percentage increase cap effectively assures the cap will be reached each year, the capped payments were considered minimum lease payments.

The Group as Lessee

Operating leases

Minimum lease payments with respect to leasing agreements which have been classified as operating leases were charged to operations on the straight-line basis over the lease period.

Capital leases

On the date of the initial recognition of an agreement classified as a capital lease, the Group recognized a leased asset according to the present value of the future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset, whichever was lower. Such assets were recorded in the fixed assets section and were treated accordingly. A liability was also included on that date to the extent of the present value of the future minimum lease payments. This liability was repaid in installments over the length of the lease utilizing the effective interest method.

The Group as Lessor

Operating leases

Rental income from operating leases were recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease period.

Leases — Beginning January 1, 2019

The Group as Lessee

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A contract contains a lease on the basis of whether the Group has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. While assessing whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether, throughout the period of use, it has both of the following:

•

the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified assets; and

•

the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of a lease together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain it will exercise that option.

In assessing the lease term, the Group takes into account extension options that, as of the date of the initial implementation (January 1, 2019) of ASC 842 or at the inception of the lease, if after January 1, 2019, it is

F-46

reasonably certain that it will exercise. The likelihood of the exercise of the extension options is examined considering, among other things, the lease payments during the extension periods in relation to the market prices, significant improvements in the leased properties that are expected to have a significant economic benefit for the Group during the extension period, actual profitability characteristics and expected profitability of the sites, the remaining non-cancellable period, the number of years under the extension periods, location of the leased property and the availability of suitable alternatives.

Because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined, the Group generally utilizes the incremental borrowing rates of the Group. These rates are defined as the interest rates that the Group would have to pay, on the commencement date of the lease, to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in the lease agreement and in a similar economic environment.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability consist of:

•

fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), including those in extension option periods which are reasonably certain to be exercised;

•

variable lease payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the commencement date; and

•

the exercise price of purchase options, if the Group is reasonably certain it would exercise the options.

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate and which are not in-substance fixed lease payments (for example, payments that are determined as a percentage of sales) are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in store operating expenses in the statement of operations.

For variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the consumer price index or a market interest rate), on the commencement date, the lease payments were initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date. The Group does not remeasure the lease liability for changes in future lease payments arising from changes in an index or rate unless the lease liability is remeasured for another reason. Therefore, after initial recognition, such variable lease payments are recognized in statements of operations as they are incurred.

The Group determines if the lease is an operating lease or a financing lease (previously a capital lease), and recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases, except for short-term leases (lease term of one year or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

At the commencement date, the lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments that are not paid at that date (not including payments made at the commencement date of the lease), discounted generally using the relevant incremental borrowing rate of the Group, and presented as a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheet. The operating lease liability is subsequently remeasured each period at the present value of future lease payments that are not paid at that date. The financing lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes corresponding adjustments to the related right-of-use asset) whenever the following occurs:

•

the lease term has changed as a result of, among other factors, a change in the assessment of exercising an extension option or a purchase option that results from the occurrence of a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of the Group, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate; or

F-47

•

a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

The right-of-use asset is measured at cost and presented as a separate line item in the balance sheet. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and any initial direct costs. In business combinations, the amount is adjusted to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease relative to market terms. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset under operating leases is measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments, unamortized lease incentives received and accumulated impairment losses. The right-of-use asset under financing leases is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Whenever the Group incurs an obligation for costs (either on the commencement date or consequently) to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located, or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognized. The costs are included in the related right-of-use asset.

Right-of-use assets under financing leases are depreciated based on the straight-line method over the shorter period of lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset, with weighted average depreciation periods are as follows:


	Years
Leasehold improvements, buildings and real estate assets		17
Equipment		8

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group will depreciate the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset.

The Group adjusts the right-of-use asset and as a result the depreciation period in the following periods when it remeasures the respective lease liability as described above.

The Group as Lessor

Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as financing or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the lessee, the contract is classified as a financing lease, including provisions such as the following:

•

the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term;

•

the lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is expected to be sufficiently lower than its fair value at the date the option becomes exercisable for it to be reasonably certain, at the inception date, that the option will be exercised;

•

the lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset even if title is not transferred; or

•

at the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.

All other leases are classified as operating leases.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease as two separate contracts. The sublease is classified as a financing or operating lease by reference to the head lease’s underlying asset.

F-48

Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental income on leased and subleased property to dealers and other third-parties is recognized on a straight-line basis based upon lease agreements with tenants.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During 2019

Leases — The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, which created ASC 842, which presents new requirements for accounting for leases, replacing the lease accounting requirements under ASC Topic 840 (“ASC 840”), and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both side of the contract, the lessee and the lessor.

The standard requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets, and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date for all leases, except for short-term leases. The lessor accounting requirements remains largely unchanged.

The standard’s primary impact was on the Group’s lease agreements of its convenience stores and gas stations. The Group adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. Applying this method, the comparative information for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and as of December 31, 2018, has not been restated.

There was no impact from the adoption of ASC 842 on the accounting for the Group’s financing leases.

At the date of the initial implementation, leases of the convenience stores and gas stations and offices that were accounted for as operating leases were recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Group’s balance sheet as follows:

•

lease liabilities were recognized and measured based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate of GPM for each lease on the date of initial application; and

•

the right-of-use assets were recognized and measured in an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted by balances related to these leases in the consolidated financial statements as of the date of initial application, including costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which is it located or restore the underlying asset.

Some of the lease agreements include an increase in the consumer price index coupled with a multiplier and a percentage increase cap effectively assures the cap will be reached each year. The Group determined, based on past experience and consumer price index increase expectations, that these types of variable payments are in-substance fixed payments and such payments were included in the measurement of the lease liabilities as of the date of the initial implementation.

The Group applied the practical expedients to (1) not apply the requirement to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in respect of short-term leases of up to one year, (2) rely on previous assessments of lease classification and whether an arrangement contains a lease in accordance with current guidance with respect to agreements that exist at the date of initial application, (3) exclude initial direct costs from measurement of the asset at the transition date, and (4) use hindsight when determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets, using data presently available that may not have been available at the original date of entering into the agreement. Additionally, the Group did not consider non-lease components in the calculation of lease liabilities.

F-49

The discount rates used to measure the lease liabilities initially recognized are based on the incremental borrowing rates of GPM as of the initial implementation date and are primarily affected by differences in the duration of the leases. The primary discount rates used were in the range of 7.5% to 8.9%, with a weighted average discount rate used in these estimations of approximately 8.4%.

The following presents the reconciliation of lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 according to ASC 842:


	Amount
	(in thousands)
Minimum lease payments under operating leases as of December 31, 2018	$	1,362,775
Recognition exemptions		(197	)
Effect of discounting at the incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019		(605,126	)

Lease liabilities additionally recognized based on the initial application of ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019		757,452
Lease liabilities from financing leases as of December 31, 2018		215,898

Lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019	$	973,350

The impact on the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 was as follows:

The impact on the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 due to deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions was as follows:

On December 15, 2017, an unrelated real estate investment trust acquired the fee simple ownership rights of seven convenience stores and gas stations that were acquired by GPM in February 2015 and operated by GPM, and simultaneously with such closing, those sites were leased to GPM in order for them to continue to be operated by GPM. As a result of this transaction, GPM deferred the $9.3 million gain on the sale of the properties and was recognizing the gain over the life of the lease.

F-50

The amount of deferred gain amortized was $1.0 million and $0.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and recorded in other revenues, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 842 as described below, the remaining unamortized deferred gains of $9.2 million were recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of January 1, 2019.

Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Accordingly, restricted cash will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Group adopted ASU 2016-18 beginning on January 1, 2019 and adopted the standard using a retrospective approach.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Accounting for Financial Instrument Credit Losses — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires that for most financial assets, losses be based on an expected loss approach which includes estimates of losses over the life of exposure that considers historical, current and forecasted information. Expanded disclosures related to the methods used to estimate the losses as well as a specific disaggregation of balances for financial assets are also required. The Group adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill Impairment — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements is not material.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes — In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance, such as the accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. This standard is effective January 1, 2021 for the Group. The Group is assessing the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. GPM Investments, LLC

A. General

GPM is a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 12, 2002. Since December 2011, the Company holds ownership of GPM following acquisition by A.C.S. Stores Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of the Company (“ACS”), of the full ownership and control of Arko Convenience Stores, LLC (“Arko Convenience”), which directly holds membership units in GPM.

F-51

Harvest Transaction

On January 6, 2017, definitive agreements were signed among Arko Convenience, GPM Member LLC (“Holdings”) and GPM HP SCF Investors, LLC, an unrelated US investment fund (“HP SCF”) for a transaction, which closed simultaneously with the signing, in which HP SCF purchased membership units in GPM as follows (collectively, the “Harvest Transaction”):

•

HP SCF purchased from Arko Convenience and from Holdings all of the new preferred member units of GPM, that were equally held by Arko Convenience and Holdings in consideration for approximately $47.5 million.

•

HP SCF purchased from Holdings common units (class C) of GPM that represented approximately 2.6% of the common units of GPM in consideration for approximately $15.0 million.

The Unit Purchase Agreement that was signed (the “Harvest UPA”) includes, among other things, representations by GPM regarding its assets, liabilities and business as customary in these kinds of transactions. Arko Convenience, Holdings and GPM undertook to indemnify HP SCF for losses or damages that resulted from inaccuracy or breach of the representations up to limited amounts and subject to limited periods as set forth in the UPA, and in all cases (other than fraud) not more than the consideration paid by HP SCF. In the event HP SCF is entitled to such indemnification from Arko Convenience and Holdings, Arko Convenience shall bear 38% and Holdings shall bear 62% of all such amounts to the extent the breach is with respect to representations from GPM.

Ares Equity Transaction

On February 28, 2020, GPM entered into agreement (the “Ares Purchase Agreement”) with Ares Capital Corporation and certain funds managed or controlled by Ares Capital Management (collectively, “Ares”) in which for consideration of $20.0 million (prior to transaction costs), GPM issued to Ares membership units representing 2.0% of GPM’s equity on a fully diluted basis (the “Class F Membership Units”), together with warrants (the “Ares Warrants”) that for an exercise price of $10.0 million in the aggregate (subject to customary adjustments including in the event of certain distributions) can be exercised to acquire membership units that represent 1.0% of GPM’s equity (on a fully diluted basis) as of February 28, 2020 (the “Ares Closing Date”).

The Ares Warrants are exercisable up to the earliest of: (1) eight years and three months from the date of issuance; (2) the completion of sale subsequent to the Trigger Event (as defined in section F.(4) below); and (3) the later of six months after the Call Option is exercised (as defined below) and 42 months from the issuance date. The Ares Warrants will be exercisable to Class G Membership Units that will rank equal to the existing common membership units of GPM, with no priority in distributions or liquidations.

The Ares Purchase Agreement includes, among other things, representations and warranties by GPM as customary and includes an undertaking by GPM to indemnify Ares for losses that result from inaccuracy of the representations included in the Ares Purchase Agreement, GPM’s breach of the undertakings according to the Ares Credit Agreement and tax liabilities that relate to the period before the issuance to Ares, all up to an aggregate amount of the Call Option Price and provided that amounts paid will be deducted from any amounts to be paid on account of the Class F Membership Units.

F-52

B. Membership Units of GPM

At the closing of each of the Harvest Transaction and the Ares Transaction, an amended and restated LLC agreement that regulates the rights between the holders of the membership units of GPM was signed and came into force between the members (the “LLC Agreement”).

Below are details regarding the membership units of GPM and the rights to which they are entitled and the holders as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and as of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements (as defined in Note 24 below). As a result of the existence of different rights which the members units are entitling, the Group’s investment in GPM is accounted for under the HLBV method as defined in Note 2 above.


Type of Membership Unit and Holder	Rights attached to the Membership Units	Number of Units Authorized, Issued and Paid *	Holding Percentage
Type of Membership Unit and Holder	Rights attached to the Membership Units	Number of Units Authorized, Issued and Paid *	As of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017	As of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements (following the Ares Transaction)
Class B common membership units (Arko Convenience)	Rights to distributions, voting and right to appoint five managers to GPM’s Board of Managers	10,990.54 units¹ (as of the Ares Transaction became 10,198.12 units)	75% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively approximately 69.4% of the equity	Approximately 73.38% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively approximately 67.99% of the equity

Class C common membership units (Holdings)	Rights to distributions, voting and right to appoint two managers to GPM’s Board of Managers	3,282.31 units (as of the Ares Transaction became 3,045.66 units)	Approximately 22.4% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively approximately 20.7% of the equity	Approximately 21.92% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively approximately 20.30% of the equity

Class E common membership units (HP SCF)	Rights to distributions, voting and right to appoint up to two managers to GPM’s Board of Managers	381.203 units (as of the Ares Transaction became 353.72 units)	Approximately 2.6% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively approximately 2.4% of the equity	Approximately 2.55% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively approximately 2.36% of the equity

Class F common membership units (Ares)	Rights to distributions, voting and right to appoint an observer to GPM’s Board of Managers, other rights as described below	300 units issued on February 28, 2020	—	Approximately 2.15% of the common membership units and the voting rights; effectively 2.00% of the equity

Senior preferred member units (HP SCF)	No voting rights, other rights as described in footnote 2 below	475 units (as of the Ares Transaction became 1,102.50 units)	100% of the senior preferred member units and no voting rights; approximately 7.5% of the equity	100% of the senior preferred member units and no voting rights; approximately 7.35% of the equity

F-53

* The changes to the LLC Agreement as made on the Ares Closing Date included a change in the number of membership units that each holder owns (the updated number is as shown above), without changing the percentage that each holder owned prior to the issuance of units to Ares.

The Class B units amount (prior to the Ares Transaction) included 1,236.49 Class B units purchased in 2014 from Holdings in consideration of $4.0 million due on the earliest of August 31, 2021, a capital call requirement and the date of an initial public offering of GPM’s securities. On February 28, 2020, said consideration was fully paid.

The senior preferred member units grant their holders: (a) the right to 7.35% of distributions made by GPM, however, if the distributions are not generated out of Operating Cash Flow (as defined in section C. below), then the holders of the senior preferred member units shall be entitled to all such distributions up to the amount invested by HP SCF in the purchase of the senior preferred member units ($47.5 million less any and all distributions and other payments previously made in respect of such senior preferred member units other than tax distributions to HP SCF), unless approved by HP SCF to make such distribution on a pro rata basis to all unit holders, and (b) preference in receiving the amount invested in the purchase of the senior preferred member units in the event of foreclosure, bankruptcy etc. (less any and all distributions and other payments previously made in respect of such senior preferred member units other than tax distributions to HP SCF).

As a result of the rights of the senior preferred member units, including the preference given to HP SCF in the event of liquidation, insolvency etc. in respect of the amount investment for the senior preferred member units, HP SCF investment was classified in the equity as “non-controlling interests.” Also as a result of this, the Group’s investment in GPM continues to be accounted for under the HLBV method as defined in Note 2 above and the non-controlling interest in GPM as a result of the senior preferred member units are calculated from the closing date of the Harvest transaction according to the higher of, the preference amount of the Senior preferred member units and the pro rata portion of the Senior preferred member units in the book value of GPM’s equity; and the portion of the Group’s and the non-controlling interest in the equity and in the net income (loss) of GPM, resulting from the common membership units of GPM, is calculated after attribution was made (if required) to the Senior preferred member units, according to their relative holdings percentages in the common member units of GPM.

The LLC Agreement includes certain provisions and restrictions with regard to the transfer of GPM’s membership units that include, among others, rights of first offer, tag-along rights, drag-along rights and first offer issuance rights. These rights shall be cancelled upon an initial public offering of GPM’s or its subsidiary’s securities (other than GPMP) (a “GPM IPO”).

According to an amended Registration Rights Agreement, on the date of a GPM IPO, if and insofar as there will be any, each of the holders of the membership units will have the right to require that GPM register the membership units held by them pursuant to the securities laws of the US and include them within the framework of the future listing of GPM’s membership units, on the terms provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

C. Significant Restrictions That Apply to the Group for its Holding in GPM

Future Distributions by GPM

The Board of Managers of GPM will determine and approve if GPM has distributable cash, subject to the discretion of the Board of Managers of GPM and the restrictions and provisions determined with regard to making the aforesaid distributions in agreements to which GPM is party to, including the restrictions stated in Notes 11 and 24 below.

According to the LLC Agreement, distributions of distributable cash made by GPM, following such approval of the Board of Managers of GPM made by a simple majority, out of current cash flow of GPM or as a result of proceeds following a sale-leaseback of owned real estate assets or the sale of non-core assets which do

F-54

not materially reduce the EBITDA of GPM (collectively, the “Operating Cash Flow”), will be distributed on a pro rata basis to all unit holders (including the holders of the senior preferred member units) based on their capital allocation percentage in GPM. Any other distributions shall be made first to the holders of the senior preferred member units up to the amount invested by HP SCF in the purchase of the senior preferred member units ($47.5 million less any and all distributions and other payments previously made in respect of such senior preferred member units other than tax distributions to HP SCF), unless approved by HP SCF to make such distribution on a pro rata basis to all unit holders. Following the distribution to the preferred member units in the total amount of $47.5 million, distributions up to an aggregate $47.5 million will be distributed on a pro rata basis to all common unit holders in GPM. Any distributions over such $47.5 million amount will be on a pro rata basis to all unit holders (including to the holders of the senior preferred member units) based on their capital allocation percentage in GPM.

To the extent distributable cash is available, GPM is required to make distributions to its members equal to each member’s tax liability based on such member’s taxable amounts as reflected on the annual Form K-1. Such distributions will be considered a prepayment of future distributions to which the member would be entitled, other than distributions to the Class F Membership Unit holders in an amount equal to the tax liability of the Class F Membership Units (including profits arising from the sale of the units) which will not be considered as a prepayment of future distributions to which the member would be entitled.

According to the LLC Agreement, at the discretion of GPM’s Board of Managers, it is entitled to make monthly management distributions of up to $1.0 million annually to the Class B, Class C, Class E and senior preferred member unit holders pro rata based on their percentage in the equity, on account of future distributions.

D. Protective and Other Rights Granted to Holdings in Respect of its Holding in GPM

The decisions of the GPM’s Board of Managers will be made by a simple majority, with the exception of decisions relative to various transactions as specified in the LLC Agreement (including transactions between GPM and the owners of the participating units and / or related parties and transactions that affect the rights of the participating units), under which the required majority includes at least one representative appointed by Holdings (by virtue of its holding in Class C participation units). This stipulation will be revoked upon a GPM IPO.

E. Protective and Other Rights Granted to HP SCF in Respect of its Holding in GPM

In addition to the rights granted to holders of Class C participation units, as specified in section D. above, as long as GPM’s capital includes the preferred units or no public issuance of GPM has taken place at the minimum fundraising level stipulated in the LLC Agreement, an approval of at least one representative on GPM’s Board of Managers appointed by the HP SCF (by virtue of their holding in Class E participation units) will be required for decisions as specified in section (4) below.

Under the LLC Agreement, the key terms granted to HP SCF, the holders of the senior preferred member units, and the class E membership units are as follows:

(1)

In the event that HP SCF is required to sell the senior preferred member units and the class E membership units as a result of (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of GPM or (ii) a transfer to a third party at the discretion of GPM of more than 50% of the outstanding units of each class, or (iii) an exercise by Arko Convenience of its drag along rights, the minimum amount to which HP SCF will be entitled to in consideration for all of the senior preferred member units shall be no less than the balance between its investment amount and the sum of all prior distributions and payments actually made in respect of the sale of the senior preferred member units. If any amount will be required in order to reach such minimum amount, then the holders of the class B and class C membership units will be required to pay such make whole amount on a 50%-50% basis. Similar make whole commitment with respect with the class E membership units expired in January 2019.

F-55

(2)

HP SCF’s approval will be required to any change of control in GPM that results in Arie Kotler no longer retaining the power to direct the management or policies of GPM (not including in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of GPM occurs) (“Change of Control”), unless a right of first offer was provided to HP SCF to purchase controlling membership units in GPM. In the event of a Change of Control without the occurrence of any of the following (i) receiving HP SCF’s approval, (ii) providing HP SCF a right to tag-along in the sale of the control in GPM by way of selling all its units in GPM, or (iii) exercise with respect to all HP SCF’s holdings in GPM of a drag-along right, HP SCF shall have the right for six months following the Change of Control to trigger a Buy/Sell (“Harvest BMBY”).

In addition, in the event that Arie Kotler no longer holds any shares of the Company, his position as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of GPM shall be automatically terminated, and the appointment of a new CEO of GPM will require HP SCF’s consent (subject to section (4) below).

(3)

If at the end of 7.5 years and/or 9.5 years from the closing of the Harvest Transaction, GPM has not offered HP SCF to acquire all of its holdings in GPM for an amount per unit that reflects a total consideration of approximately $126.5 million or approximately $161.0 million (respectively and subject to reduction to such amounts in the event of a change in HP SCF’s holdings during that period), HP SCF shall be entitled to trigger a Harvest BMBY up until the end of 12.5 years from the closing of the Harvest Transaction. In any event, commencing 30 days following 9.5 years from the closing of the Harvest Transaction, HP SCF’s liquidation preference and distribution preference will be terminated and so will all its rights with respect to a Change of Control or a sale as set described above. For details regarding restrictions included in financing agreements related to the payments GPM is allowed to pay for the HP SCF units, refer to Notes 11 and 24 below.

(4)

The LLC Agreement provides HP SCF with minority protection rights that include, among other things, (a) the requirement for the consent of at least one manager appointed by Harvest (the “HP SCF’s Representative”) for the appointment of the Chairman, President or CEO of GPM (or its replacement), related-party transactions and issuance of new member units with preference or equal rights to those provided to HP SCF; (b) to a material change in the activities of GPM; and (c) to a deviation from the leverage ratio financial covenant as defined in the Ares Credit Agreement as described in Note 24 below, of 5.5 to 1. In the event of resolutions or actions taken in the matters specified in (a), (b) or (c) above without the consent of the HP SCF’s Representative, HP SCF shall be entitled, as a sole remedy, for a period of six months from the date of the breach to initiate a Harvest BMBY (as set forth in section (5) below).

(5)

The LLC Agreement defines the Harvest BMBY mechanism in the event HP SCF initiates a Harvest BMBY at circumstances as described in sections (2), (3) and (4) above. According to the agreed mechanism, if HP SCF initiates a Harvest BMBY and Arko Convenience chooses not to purchase the units held by HP SCF for consideration reflecting the value proposed by HP SCF in the Harvest BMBY, then HP SCF shall not be obligated to purchase the units held by Arko Convenience and Holdings, but in such event, HP SCF shall not be entitled to initiate an additional Harvest BMBY based on the same circumstances.

(6)

The senior preferred member units shall not be diluted in the event of a capital contribution to GPM made by its existing membership unit holders.

(7)

The minority protection rights as set forth in the LLC Agreement including the terms specified in sections (1) through (5) above, shall terminate in the event of an initial public offering of GPM with a minimal initial offering above an amount agreed in the LLC Agreement (the LLC Agreement remained similar provisions with regard to Holdings that include a lower threshold for the initial offering amount that will terminate certain provisions with regard to Holdings).

F-56

F. Protective and Other Rights Granted to Ares in Respect of its Holding in GPM

Under the LLC Agreement, the key terms granted to Ares, the holders of the Class F Membership Units, are as follows:

(1)

The Class F Membership Units have preference over all other membership units in the event of liquidation, amounting to $20.0 million during the first three years and at the end of each third, fifth and eighth year from the Ares Closing Date will be raised to the Call Option Price (as defined above) which was in effect for the period prior to the period in which the liquidation occurs. After the end of the eighth year, the priority amount will be increased in case of liquidation at a rate of 10.5% per annum (quarterly compounded). From the aforementioned amounts will be deducted all distributions paid to the Class F Membership Units (other than tax distributions) until that time to the extent paid.

(2)

In the event of a GPM IPO with a minimal initial offering above an amount agreed in the LLC Agreement, the Class F Membership Unit holders shall have the right of their choice to receive the greater of their pro rata share of the securities offered in the offering or a cash payment according the Call Option Price relevant at that time.

(3)

In the event of a change of control in GPM resulting from a decision of GPM including an event in which GPM sold its assets (“GPM Approved Event”), the holders of Class F Membership Units will be entitled to the greater of the consideration paid for Class F Membership Units sold as a result of the change of control (to the extent sold) or the Call Option Price. In the event that the change of control is not the result of a GPM Approved Event, to the extent that, as part of the change of control, Class F Membership Units were sold for a consideration that did not reach the Call Option Price, GPM’s members (other than the Class F Membership Units holders) would be responsible for completing the proceeds of the Call Option Price on a pro rata basis. In the event that the change of control is not a result of a GPM Approved Event and no Class F Membership Units were sold as part of it (including in the event that either Arie Kotler or Morris Willner ceased to be the controlling shareholders in GPM), the holders of the Class F Membership Units will be entitled to the Call Option Price provided that if the payment is not made, this will constitute a Trigger Event, as set out in section (4) below, without GPM or any of its members having as obligation to make the payment.

(4)

To the extent that the Call Option has not been exercised by GPM until close to the expiration of eight years from the date of issuance of the Class F Membership Units, or in the case of bankruptcy or liquidation of GPM, or in the case of non-payment due to the event stated in section (3) above (collectively, the “Trigger Events”), the holders of Class F Membership Units will have the right to initiate a Buy/Sell mechanism (the “Ares BMBY”). Under the Ares BMBY mechanism, the holders of the Class F Membership Units will offer the other Company members to purchase from it all of the Class F Membership Units and if the other Company members choose not to purchase the Class F Member Units, then they will be obligated to sell to the Class F Membership Unit holders their holdings in GPM, for a consideration reflecting the same value for GPM. If the holders of the Class F Membership Units do not exercise their right to initiate the Ares BMBY, the members of GPM will immediately commence a process of selling GPM so that from the proceeds of the sale, the holders of the Class F Membership Units will be paid at least the Call Option Price. As the circumstances of such sale exist as stated but a sale is not completed until eight years from the date of issuance, the Class F Membership Units will be entitled to take any action required to execute such sale (including drag along rights with respect to the units held by the other Company members).

(5)

The LLC Agreement provides that, as long as the Class F Membership Units exist or there has not been a GPM IPO at a minimum offering as stated in section (2) above, the Class F Membership Unit holders will have minority protection rights that include, among other things, the need for the majority of the Class F Membership Unit holders’ consent to related-party transactions, to the assumption of obligations that will result in a leverage ratio (as defined in the Ares Credit Agreement detailed in Note 24 below) greater than 5.5 to 1 (or 6.0 to 1 if the additional debt is at the GPMP level) and for the issuance of units with excess rights.

G. Limited Partnership

Formation of GPMP

GPMP commenced its operation in January 2016, as part of completion of the private issuance described below, and from thereafter the following applies:

Fuel distribution agreements — GPMP is a party to all of the agreements with fuel suppliers relating to the supply of fuel to the Group (including the agreements GPMP assumed on January 12, 2016) and GPM guarantees the obligations under certain of such agreements.

Distribution agreements with GPM — GPM and its subsidiaries are engaged with GPMP in exclusive supply agreements pursuant to which the purchase of fuel from GPMP is done at GPMP’s cost of fuel including taxes and transportation plus a fixed margin, which was 4.5 cents per gallon as of December 31, 2019. Such supply agreements have a duration of 10 years from the date they were entered into except that for sites acquired after the date such supply agreement was signed, the supply agreement extends, with respect to such acquired sites, for 10 years from the date of the applicable acquisition.

The relationship between GPM and GPMP with respect to new transactions — Until the earlier of (i) 10 years following January 12, 2016 or (ii) the consummation of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of GPMP, in the event that GPM or any entity controlled by GPM proposes to acquire any retail or wholesale fuel distribution assets, GPMP shall have the right to purchase the fuel supply activity, or will otherwise distribute fuel to GPM for sale at such acquired assets at a lower fixed margin than mentioned in 2. above.

Private issuances

An agreement with an unrelated US investment company – On January 11, 2016, GPM and certain of its subsidiaries including GPMP, signed an agreement with an unrelated US investment company through two of its funds (collectively, the “Investor”), pursuant to which, within the framework of a private placement, on January 12, 2016, the Investor acquired limited partnership units of GPMP. At the closing, GPMP issued to the Investor 3.5 million Class A Preferred Units (“A Units”), which entitled it to 22.46% of the limited partnership interests in GPMP at that time, in exchange for $20 per unit (total consideration of $70 million).

In addition, the Investor was granted certain minority protection rights including, among others, tag along rights, preemptive rights, the right to appoint one director to the Board of the General Partner and the requirement to receive such director’s approval for certain decisions, all as set forth in the agreements between the parties. These rights will expire upon the conversion of the A Units to common units as specified below, to the extent such conversion takes place.

Upon an IPO, all A Units will be converted into common units, provided that the Investor will be entitled to common units at a value that results in at least a 10% return (calculated on an annualized basis) on the amount of its investment in GPMP. If necessary, at the time of the offering, the Investor will be granted common units representing more than its proportionate share in A Units or will receive cash for such excess. In an IPO, as requested by the General Partner, the holders of A Units will be required to sell up to 50% of their converted common units. After the IPO, the holders of A Units that will be converted will be granted certain registration rights to enable them to sell their common units to the public, subject to the rules of the applicable stock exchange and securities laws, applicable lock up agreements and so on.

If the A Units are still outstanding as of January 12, 2021, GPM will have the right to purchase the A Units in exchange for 105% of the purchase price (plus the monthly distributions that were not made to the Investor until the redemption and the current month’s distribution, the “Accrued Distributions”).

In the event that GPMP (i) redeems each outstanding A Unit and (ii) consummates the IPO within the 12 month period following the closing of any such redemption at a value that would have resulted in the holders of

F-58

the redeemed A Units receiving common units having an aggregate value in excess of the aggregate amount received by such holders of A Units in such redemption (such excess, the “IPO Excess Amount”), then GPMP shall, within 30 days of the closing of the IPO, pay to the redeemed holders of A Units an amount equal to the IPO Excess Amount.

If any of the following events occur: (1) a change in control (other than an IPO or certain transactions as specified in GPMP’s Agreement of Limited Partnership); (2) failure to pay the minimum monthly distribution on the A Units in full for eight months (consecutive or cumulative) following four consecutive months of non-payment in full; or (3) the A Units are still outstanding more than five years from closing, then upon request from the Investor, the General Partner shall cause GPMP to do one of the following (with the selection being at the discretion of the General Partner): (a) redemption of the A Units in cash for the purchase price plus the Accrued Distributions (provided that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) the purchase price shall be 103% of the purchase price plus the Accrued Distributions); (b) the sale of the assets of GPMP followed by a distribution of the proceeds thereof with priority to the A Units; (c) an initial public offering; or (d) increasing minimum monthly distribution on the A Units by 50%.

Provisions of the agreements signed with the Investor include a commitment to indemnify the Investor related to tax matters and certain limited other matters as specified in the agreement between the parties.

Fuel USA Acquisition — In connection with the March 8, 2016 closing of the Fuel USA Acquisition, on March 1, 2016, the Apple Seller was issued AQ Units with rights as described below.

The Apple Seller was granted certain minority protection rights including, among others, tag along rights, all as set forth in the Agreement of Limited Partnership. These rights will expire upon the conversion of the AQ Units to common units as specified below, to the extent such conversion takes place.

Upon an IPO, all of the AQ Units will be converted into common units, however, the Apple Seller will be entitled to common units at a value that results in at least the $16.9 million deemed capital contribution to GPMP. If necessary, at the time of the offering, the Apple Seller will be granted common units representing more than its proportionate share in the AQ Units or will receive cash for such excess (the “Downside Protection”).

On the Fuel USA Acquisition closing date, the fair value of the Downside Protection was approximately $1.8 million using the Black-Scholes pricing model taking into consideration the probability of an IPO and was included in the equity attributable to the non-controlling interests.

In addition, as part of the Fuel USA Acquisition, a put option was issued by the Group to the Apple Seller, under which, if for any reason GPMP had not consummated the IPO by August 2017, the Apple Seller was entitled to require GPM or its designees to purchase at least 51% of the Apple Seller’s units for a price of $20 per unit (the “Put Option”).

The unexercised Put Option expired on August 28, 2017. This resulted in the extinguishment of the Put Option Liability which caused an increase of $7.2 million in the equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company (after tax implications) and an increase of $2.8 million in the equity attributable to the non-controlling interests.

Issuance in connection with the closing of the Riiser Acquisition — In connection with the closing of the Riiser Acquisition (as described in section H below), on December 3, 2019, the Riiser Seller was issued approximately 348 thousand Class X GPMP units at a price of $43.36 per unit (the “Class X Units”) with a value of approximately $15.1 million (the “Class X Unit Value”). The Class X Units are entitled to monthly distributions that represent on an annual basis 8% of the Class X Units’ value, subject to the waterfall described below.

F-59

Immediately following the issuance, the Riiser Seller transferred to GPM Class X Units that represented 0.14% of the total limited partnership units of GPMP on that date, in consideration for GPM taking upon itself certain environmental and maintenance liabilities of the Riiser Seller according to the purchase agreement, which were estimated as of the closing date at approximately $1.5 million.

Upon an IPO, the Class X Units holders are entitled to a Downside Protection at a value that results in at least the $15.1 million (the “Riiser Downside Protection”).

On the Riiser Acquisition closing date, fair value of the Riiser Downside Protection related to the Riiser Seller was approximately $0.3 million using the Black-Scholes pricing model taking into consideration the probability of an IPO and was added to the ‘Non-controlling interest’ in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Riiser Seller was granted certain minority protection rights including, among others, tag along rights, all as set forth in the Agreement of Limited Partnership. These rights will expire upon the conversion of the Riiser Seller’s Class X Units to common units as specified above, to the extent such conversion takes place.

Issuance to GPM and its subsidiaries — Throughout 2016 through 2019, following the closing of certain acquisitions, GPMP issued to GPM’s subsidiaries partnership units in exchange for entering into additional supply agreements, or amended existing supply agreements, pursuant to which GPM and its subsidiaries will purchase fuel from GPMP with a 10 year term for the newly acquired sites at GPMP’s cost of fuel including taxes and transportation plus a fixed margin.

As a result, as of December 31, 2019, GPM’s (direct and indirect) interest in GPMP is approximately 80.68% of the limited partnership interests of GPMP (approximately 80.54% through Class B Units and 0.14% through Class X Units), the Investor’s interest in GPMP is approximately 14.52%, the Apple Seller’s interest in GPMP is approximately 3.50% and the Riiser Seller’s interest is approximately 1.30%.

Distribution rights according to GPMP’s Agreement of Limited Partnership

The following are the GPMP’s Agreement of Limited Partnership provisions with regard to distributions, as has been amended and restated through the date of these consolidated financial statements:

Distributable cash earned will first be distributed to holders of A Units up to $0.1667 per month in respect of each unit (a total of $2 per year, representing 10% of the purchase price per unit), second to the holders of the AQ Units up to $0.1333 per month in respect of each unit (a total of $1.60 per year, representing 8% of the purchase price per unit), third (from and after December 3, 2019) to the holders of the X Units up to $0.2890 per month in respect of each unit (a total of $3.468 per year, representing 8% of the purchase price per unit), fourth to the holders of the B Units (GPM and certain of its subsidiaries) up to $0.1333 per month in respect of each unit (a total of $1.60 per year, representing 8% of the purchase price per unit), fifth (from and after February 1, 2020) to the General Partner based on the formula specified in 2. below, sixth to the holders of the AQ Units and B Units pro rata up to $0.0334 per month in respect of each unit and seventh to the holders of the A Units, AQ Units and B Units pro rata up to $0.1223 per month in respect of each unit for the period commencing from December 3, 2019 (distributions which will bring them to a total of $0.2890 per unit per year). Any distributions above the minimum monthly amounts will be paid to all limited partners on a pro rata basis.

The distribution of cash earned every month will be according to the above waterfall and if in a certain month the distributable cash is insufficient to make the full distribution to all the tiers described above since the date such entitlement commenced, then the entitlement will accrue and will be made out of cash earned in the following month after the payment of the monthly distribution up to and including the tier that has accrued distributions (prior to the distribution to the next tier).

Additionally, if there is sufficient distributable cash to make the full distribution of the minimum monthly amount on the A Units but GPMP elects not to make such full distribution, the accrued amount will be calculated at $0.25 per A Unit (instead of $0.1667 per A Unit).

F-60

As of December 31, 2019, Class B units and Class AQ units have an accrued amount of approximately $6.3 million on account of the sixth tier above, which will be paid prior to making any distributions other than the payment of the monthly distribution up to and including the sixth tier specified above.

Commencing from February 2020, the General Partner is entitled to a distribution from GPMP in an annual amount of $4.0 million (approximately $333 thousand per month) and commencing from the date the annual 2020 financial statements are issued, the distribution will be the greater of $4.0 million per year or 3.5% of the gross profit of GPMP according to its financial statements. The General Partner distribution will be paid according to the waterfall described in 1. above.

H. Acquisitions

Riiser Acquisition

On December 3, 2019, the Group purchased 64 company-operated sites (the “Purchased Sites” and the “Acquired Activity”) located in Wisconsin (the “Riiser Acquisition”) from a third party (the “Riiser Seller”).

At the closing, the Group purchased and assumed, among other things, agreements with suppliers (other than fuel suppliers), lease agreements relating to all the Purchased Sites, equipment at the Purchased Sites, franchises and licenses for use of trade names, inventory and goodwill with regard to the Acquired Activity. In addition, at the closing, the Riiser Seller contributed to GPMP all of the Riiser Seller’s rights to existing fuel supply contracts with fuel suppliers and the right to supply fuel to the Purchased Sites.

The majority of the Purchased Sites are leased from third parties. The annual rent for the Purchased Sites is approximately $7.6 million, to be increased during the terms of the leases as customary.

The cash consideration paid at closing was approximately $27.8 million, as detailed below:

•

An amount of $13.2 million was paid by GPM, out of which $6.8 million was paid for cash and inventory at the Purchased Sites on the closing date and other adjustments. This was financed with the GPM PNC Line of Credit (as described in Note 11 below). To the extent the store level EBITDA of the Acquired Activity (as defined by the parties) for 2020 is less than the amount specified in the purchase agreement, then the consideration paid by GPM will be reduced by a mechanism as determined in the purchase agreement, but in no event by more than $3.4 million.

•

An amount of approximately $14.6 million was funded by GPMP by use of the Capital One Line of Credit (as described in Note 11 below).

In addition, approximately $15.1 million was paid to the Riiser Seller by way of issuing limited partnership units of GPMP as described in section G above.

The purchase agreement includes the Riiser Seller’s undertaking with regard to indemnification subject to certain time and amount limitations as determined in the purchase agreement. Such Riiser Seller’s undertakings will be guaranteed by a pledge in favor of the Group of the Riiser Seller’s Class X Units having a value of $3.0 million.

The useful life of the trade name on the date of acquisition was five years.

As a result of the business acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $29.9 million, all of which was allocated to the GPMP segment and attributable to the opportunities to expand into new geographic locations and add a significant amount of volume to the GPMP segment. None of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible for US income tax purposes.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to approximately $0.9 million have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognized as an expense within the other expenses (income), net line in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019. No acquisition-related costs were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

F-62

Results of operations for the acquisition were reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 for the period subsequent to the closing date. For the period from the closing date through December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $15.2 million in revenues and an immaterial amount in net income (loss) related to the Riiser Acquisition.

Additional 2019 Acquisitions

Town Star Acquisition — On April 2, 2019, the Group purchased from a third party 18 company-operated convenience stores and gas stations located in Florida, which were leased from third parties (the “Town Star Acquisition”). The consideration paid on account of the Town Star Acquisition (including transition service agreement costs of $1.2 million) was approximately $4.1 million and were primarily financed with the GPMP Capital One Line of Credit (as described in Note 11). At the closing, GPMP purchased the right to supply fuel to the acquired sites in exchange for GPM amending its fuel supply agreement with GPMP for 10 years with respect to such acquired sites. The seller was in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.

Cash and Sons Acquisition — On October 16, 2019, GPM purchased from a third party five company-operated convenience stores and gas stations located in Arkansas (the “Cash and Sons Acquisition”). The consideration paid at closing was approximately $3.0 million plus $0.5 million primarily for the value of cash and inventory in the stores on the closing date. As part of the purchase agreement, GPM leases the stores under a master lease from the seller for 15 years, with six additional five year options. The master lease contains purchase options granting GPM the right to purchase the sites.

The Company included identifiable tangible assets and identifiable liabilities at their fair value based on the information available to the Company’s management on the acquisition closing date, including, among other things, an evaluation performed by external consultants for this purpose. The useful life of the options to acquire ownership rights on the date of acquisition was approximately 10 years.

The Town Star Acquisition resulted in a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $0.4 million which represented the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities recognized of approximately $3.3 million and the total fair value of the consideration transferred of approximately $2.9 million, and was primarily the result of the seller being in bankruptcy. The Company recognized this gain within the other expenses (income), net line item in the consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the Cash and Sons Acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $0.3 million. The goodwill was fully allocated to the GPMP segment and attributable to the opportunities to expand within existing geographic locations and add volume to the GPMP segment. None of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible for US income tax purposes.

F-64

Acquisition-related costs amounting to $2.0 million (which include a transition service agreement with the Town Star seller) have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognized as an expense within other expenses (income), net line in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. No acquisition-related costs were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Results of operations for the acquisition were reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 for the period subsequent to the closing date. For the period from the closing dates through December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $46.1 million in revenues and $0.7 million in net loss related to these acquisitions.

E-Z Mart Acquisition

On December 21, 2017, GPM, together with GPM Southeast, LLC (“GPM SE”), a fully owned subsidiary of GPM, entered into a purchase agreement with unrelated third-parties (the “E-Z Sellers”) for the acquisition of retail activity that included 267 self-operated convenience stores and gas stations, wholesale activity that included fuel distribution to six sites and additional assets, in four states in the southern part of the US (the “E-Z Mart Acquisition”). The closing occurred on April 17, 2018.

At the closing, the E-Z Sellers: (i) sold to GPM SE the fee simple ownership in 48 sites, together with the fee simple ownership in two assets that are used for offices and maintenance and in seven land parcels; (ii) assigned to GPM SE the leases of 33 sites; (iii) leased to GPM SE 114 sites that remain owned by the E-Z Sellers, at terms specified below; (iv) sold to GPM the rights under the contracts with third-party fuel suppliers relating to the 273 sites and all of the rights to supply fuel to the sites (the “Fuel Distribution Rights”) and (v) sold to GPM SE and assigned to it the E-Z Sellers’ agreements with suppliers, equipment, inventory, intangible assets and other rights with regard to the 273 sites (all sites and assets described above, including purchased and assigned agreements, collectively, the “Acquired Operations”).

The total consideration paid to the E-Z Sellers was approximately $62.1 million (including post-closing adjustments of $2.3 million that were recorded at the closing date as a payable to E-Z Sellers primarily related to adjustments for cash and inventory and subsequently paid in June 2018), out of which approximately $26.5 million was for cash and inventory at the sites and other adjustments. A total of $35.0 million of the consideration was financed through a related-party loan from the Company, approximately $16.2 million was financed from the net proceeds of the sale-leaseback transaction completed in December 2017 as described in Note 2 above and the balance primarily from the GPM PNC Line of Credit.

The lease from the E-Z Sellers is for a term of 15 years, which can be extended for up to six additional five year terms, in consideration for an initial annual base rent payment of approximately $10.2 million, with

F-65

increases during the term of the lease as set forth in the lease agreement. In addition to the rent, the E-Z Sellers are entitled to an additional amount for the E-Z Sellers to provide certain services for the benefit of the sites and payment of real property tax and insurance costs.

According to the lease terms, GPM has the option to purchase (which cannot be partially exercised) the fee simple ownership in 97 of the sites leased from the E-Z Sellers (the “option to acquire ownership rights”) for a purchase price of approximately $121 million. As a result of the purchase described in Note 7 below in November 2019, the purchase price of this option was reduced by approximately $6.6 million and five sites were taken off from the said option. The option can be exercised within the first three years from the closing or within 60 days of the expiration of the fifth year from the closing. To the extent the option is exercised and the closing of the purchase of the sites occurs prior to the expiration of the third year from the closing, the E-Z Sellers shall receive rent for a minimum period of three years from the closing of the E-Z Mart Acquisition in addition to the exercise price. In addition, during the lease term, GPM was granted a right of first refusal for the purchase of these sites if the E-Z Sellers wish to sell them to any third party.

Regarding up to five additional sites, the E-Z Sellers were granted the right to require GPM SE to purchase those sites, if the issues that prevented their sale at the closing date were cured within 12 months from the closing date, for a per site purchase price determined in the lease agreement (a total of approximately $10.5 million for all five sites). In November 2019, GPM purchased four of these sites as described in Note 7 below, and the E-Z Sellers’ right with regard to the fifth site expired.

Regarding seven additional sites, GPM SE has options to purchase each of those sites for a per site purchase price determined in the lease agreement (a total of approximately $11.0 million for all seven sites). The option to purchase each of the seven sites can be exercised at the same periods as the option to acquire ownership rights.

Simultaneously, at the closing, two US real estate funds purchased directly from the E-Z Sellers the fee simple ownership in 78 of the Purchased Sites for consideration of approximately $135 million and leased those sites as financing leases to GPM SE as follows:

•

The A REIT purchased 48 sites for approximately $82.8 million, which was paid directly by the A REIT to the Sellers. Simultaneously with the purchase, the A REIT and GPM entered into a master lease agreement for those sites for a term of 20 years, which can be extended for up to four additional five year terms, in consideration for an initial annual base rent payment of approximately $6.0 million.

•

An additional unrelated real estate fund (the “2nd REIT”) purchased 30 of the other sites for approximately $52.2 million, which was paid directly by the 2^nd REIT to the E-Z Sellers. Simultaneously with the purchase, the 2nd REIT and GPM entered into a master lease agreement for all those sites for a term of 15 years, which can be extended for up to four additional five year terms, in consideration for an initial annual base rent payment of approximately $3.8 million.

The purchase agreement included provisions according to which up to 10 additional sites may be built by the E-Z Sellers on land parcels currently owned by the E-Z Sellers and leased to GPM (the “options to develop stores”).

Under the purchase agreement, the E-Z Sellers have a current responsibility to indemnify GPM for certain fundamental breaches of representations and warranties made by the E-Z Sellers as specified in the purchase agreement.

On the closing date, GPM contributed the Fuel Distribution Rights to GPMP in exchange for units of GPMP.

The Company included identifiable tangible assets and identifiable liabilities at their fair value based on the information available to the Company’s management on the acquisition closing date, including, among other things, an evaluation performed by external consultants for this purpose. The useful life of the options to acquire ownership rights, the options to develop stores and the trade name on the date of acquisition was approximately five years each.

The business acquisition resulted in a gain on bargain purchase of approximately $24.0 million which represented the difference between the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities recognized of approximately $86.2 million and the total fair value of the consideration transferred of approximately $62.1 million. The Company recognized this gain and recorded it within the other expenses (income), net line item in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company believes there were several advantages to the E-Z Sellers embedded in the transaction which made the E-Z Sellers prefer the transaction with GPM according to the agreed upon terms. These advantages

F-67

included, per the Company’s belief, primarily: (1) the preference for the sale of all the Purchased Sites to a buyer who would continue to operate and manage all the Purchased Sites under the E-Z Sellers’ brand (E-Z Mart), in view of the fact that E-Z Mart was a private, family-owned company that was established by the father of the Sellers and managed by the E-Z Sellers for 30 years; (2) the relatively high degree of certainty that the transaction would indeed be consummated, among other things, in light of the absence of a financing arrangement as a condition precedent to the transaction; (3) GPM’s proven track record of completing acquisitions of this scale in a timely and efficient manner in the past; (4) the lower likelihood of not requiring a second-round antitrust review or divestitures that might have been required in case of a sale to other convenience stores chains operating in the areas in which E-Z Mart operates; (5) the advantage in obtaining consents from E-Z Mart’s fuel suppliers for the sale to the GPM versus a sale to other convenience store chains that do not work with those fuel suppliers or that operate only unbranded gas stations; (6) economic advantages (including tax advantages) arising from the agreement with GPM, especially derived from the fact that the E-Z Sellers retained the real estate ownership in more than 100 sites and leased them under a long-term lease to GPM in consideration for rent, instead of an immediate sale of those sites; and (7) economic advantages (including tax advantages) for the EZ Sellers embodied in the future development of approximately 10 additional sites and their lease to GPM instead of an immediate sale of those sites.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to approximately $6.4 million and $0.4 million have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognized as an expense within the other expenses (income), net line in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Results of operations for the acquisition were reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the period subsequent to the closing date. For the period from the closing date through December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $640.0 million in revenues and $6.8 million in net income related to the E-Z Mart Acquisition.

Additional 2018 Acquisitions

1-Stop Acquisition: On June 13, 2018, 11 convenience stores and gas stations located in Michigan were acquired (the “1-Stop Acquisition”). The consideration paid at closing was approximately $3.5 million plus $0.9 million primarily for the value of cash and inventory in the stores on the closing date less other adjustments, and was primarily financed with the GPMP KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility (as described in Note 11 below). At the closing, GPMP purchased the right to supply fuel to the acquired sites in exchange for GPM amending its fuel supply agreement with GPMP for 10 years with respect to such acquired sites. As part of the purchase agreement, GPM leases the stores from the former owner for 15 years, with six additional five year options.

Crenco Acquisition: On March 7, 2018, five convenience stores and gas stations located in the South Carolina, were acquired (the “Crenco Acquisition”). The consideration paid was approximately $5.3 million plus approximately $0.7 million for cash and inventory in the stores on the closing date, of which $5.0 million was financed with the GPMP KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility (as described in Note 11 below) and the remainder was primarily financed through the GPM PNC Line of Credit (as described in Note 11 below). At the closing, GPMP purchased the right to supply fuel to the acquired sites in exchange for GPM amending its fuel supply agreement with GPMP for 10 years with respect to such acquired sites. At the closing, GPM purchased three of the properties and leased the other two stores from the former owner. The leases each contain a purchase option granting GPM the right to purchase the sites.

Roadrunner Acquisition

On February 10, 2017, GPM entered into a purchase agreement with unrelated third-parties (the “Roadrunner Sellers”) for the acquisition of full ownership in two US entities that operate 92 convenience stores and gas stations (the “Convenience Business”) and seven franchised, quick service restaurants located in the Southeast US (the “QSR Business”), together with assets that included, among other things, the fee simple interest in 76 of the Convenience Business sites (the “Owned Sites”). The closing of the Convenience Business occurred on April 4, 2017 (the “Roadrunner Closing Date”) and the closing of the QSR Business occurred on May 23, 2017. The acquisition of the Convenience Business and the QSR Business were treated as a single acquisition. At the Roadrunner Closing Date, GPM WOC Holdco, LLC (“Holdco”), a fully owned subsidiary of GPM, acquired from the Roadrunner Sellers the full ownership in the entity that operates the Convenience Business (“MEOC”), and GPM RE, LLC (“GPM RE”), an entity fully owned by GPM, acquired 11 Owned Sites and the Roadrunner office building, and on the date of the closing of the QSR Business, GPM acquired from the Roadrunner Sellers the full ownership in the entity that operates the QSR Business.

The total consideration paid at the Roadrunner Closing Date was approximately $28.0 million (the “Consideration”), out of which approximately $4.5 million was paid as a result of adjustments relating to cash, net working capital and other items. A total of $24.0 million of the Consideration was financed through a related-party loan from the Company and the majority of the remaining amount was financed through the Holdco PNC Line of Credit (as defined in Note 11 below). Based on post-closing adjustments, GPM received from the Roadrunner Sellers approximately $0.6 million primarily related to working capital adjustments, which was received in September 2017.

Additionally, at the Roadrunner Closing Date, according to an agreement, that was signed prior to the Roadrunner Closing Date, between GPM and the A REIT, the A REIT purchased directly from the Roadrunner Sellers the fee simple ownership in 66 of the Owned Sites in consideration for approximately $139 million, paid directly by the A REIT to the Roadrunner Sellers. Simultaneously with the purchase, the A REIT and MEOC entered into a lease agreement for all the Owned Sites acquired by the A REIT for a term of 20 years, which can be extended for up to four additional five year terms, with an initial annual base rent payment of approximately $10 million. The lease is guaranteed by GPM.

Under the purchase agreement, the Roadrunner Sellers have a current responsibility to indemnify GPM and Holdco for certain fundamental breaches of representations and warranties made by the Roadrunner Sellers as specified in the purchase agreement.

On the Roadrunner Closing Date, MEOC contributed the rights to supply fuel to the Convenience Business sites and certain of its contracts with third-party fuel suppliers to GPMP in exchange for units of GPMP.

Potential Acquisition — Empire Acquisition

On December 17, 2019, a fully owned subsidiary of GPM and GPMP entered into a purchase agreement with unrelated third-parties (the “Sellers”) for the acquisition of (i) the Sellers’ wholesale business of supplying fuel which currently includes approximately 1,500 gas stations operated by others (dealers) and (ii) approximately 75 Seller self-operated convenience stores and gas stations, all in 30 states, 10 of which being states that GPM is not active in as of December 31, 2019 (the “Empire Acquisition”).

•

F-73

during the term of the lease as set forth in the lease agreement. GPM will be granted options to purchase the sites during and at the end of the initial five year term and will have a right of first refusal to purchase the assets in the event of sale of the assets to third parties during such term, all as determined in the lease agreements.

The Base Consideration is expected to be paid by GPM and GPMP primarily by use of the Capital One Line of Credit (see Note 11 below regarding the increase of the Capital One Line of Credit in April 2020), and the Ares Loan as defined in Note 24 below.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, if the Empire Acquisition does not close by September 30, 2020, each party will have the right to cancel the agreement (or extend the period to close by 30 days), except if the Empire Acquisition is not closed due to circumstances beyond the other party’s reasonable control or as a result of a breach of the agreement by the party seeking cancellation. On August 25, 2020, the Company received the approval for the Empire Acquisition in accordance with U.S. antitrust law, without imposing on GPM any material undertakings. Ares has extended the financing commitment as described in Note 24 below. GPM and the Sellers are working to fulfill the conditions precedent to closing in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2020, however, there is no certainty that the Empire Acquisition will close.

The NIS loans bore annual interest rates ranging from 4.04% to 5.90% and the dollar denominated loans bore an annual interest rate of 7.5%, and were secured by various liens. On February 28, 2020, all of the loans provided by the Company to GPM were fully repaid in advance in a total amount of approximately $110 million from funds received from the Ares Loan as defined in Note 24 below.

The Company’s full rights in the Admiral and E-Z Mart loans, the balance of which (including interest receivable) as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $68 million, were pledged in favor of the Company’s Bondholders (Series C) as specified in Note 11 below.

Financing Agreement with Ares Capital Corporation

On the Ares Closing Date, GPM entered into an agreement with Ares to provide to GPM financing in a total amount of up to $347 million (the “Ares Credit Agreement” and the “Ares Loan”), out of which, as of the Ares Closing Date, Ares has provided to GPM a loan in the amount of $162 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan and the proceeds of the Class F Membership Units (as described in Note 3.A. above) were primarily used by GPM to repay the entire outstanding balance of the GPM’s related-party loans in the total amount of approximately $118 million (out of which $110 million to the Company), as well as to prepay the outstanding balance of the term loans from PNC for a total amount of $39.5 million. For further details on the Ares Credit Agreement, see Note 24 below.

Financing Agreements with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”)

GPM PNC Facility and Holdco PNC Facility

Beginning from November 2011, GPM and certain subsidiaries had a financing agreement with PNC (the “GPM PNC Facility”), which was amended from time to time, that provides the Group with term loans as well as a line of credit for purposes of financing working capital. On the Ares Closing Date, the outstanding balance of

F-84

the PNC term loans were fully paid (other than the GPMP PNC Term Loan). GPM, certain other fully owned subsidiaries and PNC have entered into an amendment, restatement and consolidation of the current financing agreements between the parties (the “PNC Credit Line Agreement”).

The PNC Credit Line Agreement consolidated the GPM PNC Line of Credit and the Holdco PNC Line of Credit into one credit line in the amount of up to $110 million (the “PNC Line of Credit”), which, at the request of GPM, can be increased up to $150 million, subject to PNC’s discretion.

Beginning in April 2020, every quarter the LIBOR margin rate is updated based on the quarterly average undrawn availability of the line of credit, so that in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability of greater than or equal to 50%, the margin is reduced to 1.25%; in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability less than 50% and greater than or equal to 25%, the margin is reduced to 1.5%; and in the event of quarterly average undrawn availability less than 25%, the margin is 1.75%. Beginning in April 2020, the alternate base rate margin rate is updated according to the quarterly average undrawn availability to 0%, 0.25% and 0.5%, based on the credit line usage percentages above, respectively. Interest is paid in monthly installments provided that for LIBOR loans, interest is paid at the end of each LIBOR period. For unused amounts of the line of credit, a fee of 0.375% per annum is paid.

No change was made to the maturity date and the ability to prepay (subject to prepayment fee) the PNC Line of Credit as described in the table above relating to the GPM PNC Line of Credit and the Holdco PNC Line of Credit.

As part of the amendment, definitions in the PNC Credit Line Agreement were changed to conform to the Ares Credit Agreement.

GPMP PNC Term Loan

GPMP has a term loan in the total amount of $32.4 million (the “GPMP PNC Term Loan”).

Intercreditor Agreements

Ares and PNC have entered into an intercreditor agreement that governs each of the rights in respect of the liens as set forth below and Note 24 and the manner of its exercise.

Restrictions and Limitations under the PNC Financing Agreements

The PNC Credit Line Agreement includes restrictions related to distributions that are consistent with those set forth in the Ares Credit Agreement (see Note 24 below) and which replaced the previous provisions regarding distributions according to which, among other things, GPM’s ability to distribute was subject to certain conditions including a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as defined below over a certain ratio set and Undrawn Availability limitations as defined in the GPM PNC Facility agreement.

F-85

The PNC Credit Line Agreement provides for customary representations, limitations and provisions including, among others, as to payments to related parties, new investments, sale of assets, payment of other indebtedness, liens and reporting requirements.

Defaults of the PNC Credit Line Agreement include, among other things, the failure to pay interest as required or non-compliance with restrictions and limitations under the GPM PNC Facility agreement subject to a cure period in accordance with the PNC Credit Line Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with PNC Credit Line Agreement, PNC has variety of remedies, which includes the immediate repayment of the PNC Credit Line and cancellation of the commitment to provide the remaining obligations for subsequent drawings according to the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

The PNC Credit Line Agreement includes restrictions similar to those included in the Ares Credit Agreement as set forth in Note 24 below. In addition, the PNC Credit Line Agreement requires that payments to the Class F Membership Unit holders (as defined in Note 3.A. above) will be made subject to undrawn availability of at least 20% of the PNC Line of Credit and payments to HP SCF, in addition to those described in Note 24 below, are subject to the amount being up to $62 million and undrawn availability of at least 20% of the PNC Line of Credit.

Collateral

As of the Ares Closing Date, PNC has a first priority lien on receivables, inventory and rights in bank accounts (other than assets that cannot be pledged due to regulatory or contractual obligations), and a second-degree lien on liens granted to Ares as specified in Note 24 below.

The GPMP PNC Term Loan is secured by US Treasury or other investment grade securities equal to 98% of the outstanding principal amount of the GPMP PNC Term Loan. GPM executed a guaranty of collection of GPMP’s obligations under the GPMP PNC Term Loan, which guaranty is secured by GPM’s assets securing the PNC Facility.

Additional Information

In accordance with the Ares Credit Agreement and the PNC Credit Line Agreement, an event of default under the other agreement or the M&T Term Loans by GPM will also constitute an event of default of the other agreements. A default under the Capital One Credit Facility will also be a default under the Ares Credit Agreement and indirectly under the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

Although GPM and GPMP’s subsidiary are the only guarantors of the GPMP PNC Term Loan, to the extent GPM does not fulfill its guaranty obligations, such default would also trigger a default under the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

Financing Agreements with M&T Bank

On December 21, 2016, GPM entered into an agreement with M&T Bank (“M&T”) for a $26.0 million loan which primarily financed the purchase of 34 stores that commencing August 2013 were leased by the Group (the “M&T Term Loan”). In connection with the M&T Term Loan, GPM pledged the property of the 34 sites as collateral. Over the past several years, additional term loans were provided by M&T. The M&T Term Loan agreement contains similar restrictions as the PNC Credit Line Agreement as described above. Additional acquisitions by GPM, other than permitted acquisitions as defined under the M&T Term Loan are subject to the approval of M&T, but will not be required if the loan to value of the M&T Term Loan is 65% or lower (or is paid-down to 65% or lower), as long as PNC approved such additional acquisitions.

On May 7, 2020, an amendment was signed to conform the agreements and limitations that are included in the financing agreements with M&T with those in the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

F-86

Updated financing agreement with a syndication of banks led by Capital One, National Association

On January 21, 2016, GPMP certain lenders and KeyBank National Association, as the administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer, entered into a credit agreement for revolving credit facility, in the initial aggregated principal amount of up to $110 million (the “KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility”).

On July 15, 2019, GPMP entered into a credit agreement for a revolving credit facility with a syndication of banks led by Capital One, National Association (the “Capital One Credit Facility”), including the banks that have provided the KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility and several additional banks, which replaced the KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million (the “Capital One Line of Credit”).

The Capital One Credit Facility is available for general partnership purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, and allows GPMP to request that Capital One Credit Facility be increased up to $500 million (instead of a possible increase of the KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility that was of up to $220 million), subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from the lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain terms as detailed in the credit agreement. As GPM anticipates that the majority of the consideration for the Empire Acquisition will be funded through the Capital One Line of Credit, on April 1, 2020, GPMP entered into an amendment whereby the Capital One Line of Credit was increased from $300 million to $500 million, in accordance with commitments in a total amount of $200 million (the “Increased Amount”) received from US banks, led by Capital One, which Increased Amount was committed by most of the banks in the current syndication of the Capital One Line of Credit along with one additional bank.

The commitment to the Increased Amount is contingent upon the completion of the Empire Acquisition described in Note 3.H. above without any material changes affecting the lenders, including GPMP’s leverage ratio (pro forma) after the Empire Transaction is completed not to exceed 4.15 to 1.00. In addition, the commitment is subject to customary conditions which include, among others, the lack of a material adverse change in GPMP status and the completion of the final stages of due diligence by lenders.

At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $700 million (instead of a possible increase up to $500 million), subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain items detailed in the Capital One Line of Credit. The undertaking to provide the increase will remain in effect until no later than December 31, 2020 and will be canceled prior to such date in the event that the Empire Acquisition has not taken place or is financed using other sources.

In accordance with the agreements, letters of credit availability was increased to $40.0 million (instead of $10.0 million as of December 31, 2019). No other substantial terms were changed, other than proforma adjustments that will be included after the closing of the Empire Transaction.

All borrowings and letters of credit under the Capital One Credit Facility are subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, including the absence of any default or event of default and the accuracy of representations and warranties.

The terms of the Capital One Line of Credit include a reduction of 0.25% in the minimum rate of the margin as described above. In addition, the lenders will be paid an unused fee at a rate as described above, in accordance with the leverage level of the GPMP. GPMP will also pay the lenders standard fees and payments.

All obligations under the Capital One Facilities are guaranteed by all of GPMP’s present and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions as permitted under the Capital One Credit Facility).

The Capital One Credit Facility is secured by (i) substantially all of GPMP’s properties and assets and the properties and assets of GPMP’s subsidiaries and (ii) pledges of the equity interests in all present and future subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions as permitted under the Capital One Credit Facility).

F-87

The Capital One Facilities provide for customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among other things, covenants relating to (i) financial and collateral reporting and notices of material events and (ii) limitations on indebtedness and liens, dividends and distributions, transactions with affiliates and certain fundamental transactions.

Defaults of the Capital One Facilities include, among other things, the failure to pay the minimum monthly distribution on the A Units (as defined in Note 3.G. above) in full for five months (consecutive or cumulative) following four consecutive months of non-payment in full. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with Capital One Credit Facility, Capital One has variety of remedies, which includes the immediate repayment of the Capital One Line of Credit and cancellation of the commitment to provide the remaining obligations for subsequent drawings according to the Capital One Credit Facility.

To the extent that the Bonds (Series C and H) are outstanding, the Company has undertaken to meet certain financial covenants, including a net financial debt to net CAP ratio, GPM’s store level EBITDA and GPM’s financial debt to GPM’s store level EBITDA ratio, each as defined under the Bonds (Series C and H) deeds of trust. As of December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all terms and commitments in accordance with the Bonds’ (Series C and H) deeds of trust.

The GPM PNC Facility and the Holdco PNC Facility, which were in effect until February 28, 2020, included a requirement to demonstrate compliance with certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio, that was subject to usage of the line of credit above limitations set in the agreements. As of December 31, 2019, GPM used less than the total combined limitations amount of the GPM PNC Line of Credit and the Holdco PNC Line of Credit, and thus was not bound by these financial covenants. As part of the PNC Credit Line Agreement, these financial covenants were cancelled and instead increased reporting requirements were set in cases where the usage of the PNC Credit Line exceeds certain limitations set, and also it is required that the undrawn availability use of the credit line will equal to or be greater than 10%, subject to exceptions included in the PNC Credit Line Agreement.

Until May 7, 2020, the M&T Term Loan agreement included financial covenants as described above. The amendment signed with M&T as described above included the cancellation of the requirement to comply with said financial covenants and added a requirement to include compliance with the leverage ratio defined in the Ares Credit Agreement described in Note 24 below.

The M&T Term Loan agreement also requires GPM to maintain a debt service coverage ratio.

The GPMP PNC Term Loan and the Capital One Credit Facility require GPMP to maintain certain financial covenants, including a leverage ratio and an interest coverage expense ratio.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group was in compliance with all of the obligations and financial covenants under the terms and provisions of its bank loans.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Liabilities and Contingencies

The Group is responsible for certain environmental costs and legal expenses arising in the ordinary course of business. See Note 14 for further discussion.

Asset Retirement Obligations

As part of the fuel operations at its Group owned and operated convenience stores, at most of the Group’s consignment dealer locations and at most of the other Group owned or lease locations leased to dealers, there are underground storage tanks for which the Group is responsible. The Group recognizes the future cost to remove an underground storage tank over the estimated remaining useful life of the underground storage tank or the termination of applicable lease. A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time an underground storage tank is installed. The Group amortizes the amount added to equipment or right-of-use asset and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective underground storage tanks. The accretion of the asset retirement obligation is recorded in interest and other financing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The estimated liability is based upon the GPM’s historical experience in removing underground storage tanks, estimated tank useful lives, external estimates as to the cost to remove the tanks in the future and current and anticipated federal and state regulatory requirements governing the removal of tanks, and discounted. The Group annually re-evaluates its asset retirement obligations and revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimates of tank removal costs or timing, tank useful lives or whether federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the removal of such tanks. The non-current portion of the asset retirement obligation is included in non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

A reconciliation and roll forward of the Group’s liability for the removal of its underground storage tanks was as follows:


	2019			2018
	(in thousands)
Beginning Balance as of January 1,	$	31,535		$	22,864

*Ending Balance as of December 31, ()**	$	37,224		$	31,535

(*)	$360 thousand and $370 thousand were recorded to other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fuel Vendor Agreements

GPMP enters into fuel supply contracts with various major fuel suppliers. These fuel supply contracts have expiration dates at various times through March 31, 2026. In connection with certain of these fuel supply and related incentive agreements, the Group received upfront payments and other vendor assistance payments for rebranding costs and other incentives. In accordance with the GPMP distribution agreements, the funds are passed through to GPM. If GPMP defaults under the terms of any contract, including not purchasing committed fuel purchase volume, or terminates any supply agreement prior to the end of the applicable term, GPMP must refund and reimburse the respective fuel supplier for the unearned unamortized portion of the payments received

F-90

to date, based on the amortization schedule outlined in each respective agreement and refund other benefits from each supplier subject to the terms that were set in the incentive agreement, as well as pay a penalty with regard to the early termination if applicable. The payments are amortized and recognized as a reduction to fuel costs using the straight-line method based on the term of each agreement or based on fuel volume purchased. The amount of the unamortized liability was $24.3 million and $23.3 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which were recorded in other current and non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The legal liability period in these fuel supply agreements can extend beyond the amortization period, and differ in the amortization schedule, used for book purposes. As of December 31, 2019, the Group was in compliance with its principal fuel vendor agreements.

Purchase Commitments

In the ordinary course of business, GPMP has entered into agreements with suppliers to purchase inventories for varying periods of time. GPMP’s fuel vendor agreements with suppliers require minimum volume purchase commitments of branded gasoline, which vary throughout the period of supply agreements and distillates annually. The future minimum volume purchase requirements under the existing supply agreements are based on gallons, with a purchase price at prevailing market rates for wholesale distributions. If GPMP fails to purchase the required minimum volume during a contract year, the underlying supplier’s exclusive remedies (depending on the magnitude of the failure) are either termination of the supply agreement and/or an agreed monetary compensation. Based upon GPMP’s current and future expected purchases, the Group does not anticipate incurring penalties for volume shortfalls.

The total future minimum gallon volume purchase requirements from fuel vendors were as follows:


	Gallons
	(in thousands)
2020		196,449
2021		193,115
2022		190,198
2023		176,928
2024		169,615
Thereafter		212,019

Total		1,138,324

Merchandise Vendor Agreements

GPM enters into various merchandise product supply agreements with major merchandise vendors. These major vendors supply a significant portion of GPM’s merchandise supply. GPM receives incentives for agreeing to exclusive distribution rights for the suppliers of certain supplies. As of December 31, 2019, the Group was in compliance with all of its principal merchandise vendor agreements.

Pension Fund Claim

On February 11, 2015, GPM and Holdco entered into an agreement with a third party, which was subsequently amended and restated (the “Midwest Acquisition”) to acquire 100% of the capital stock of WOC Southeast Holding Corp. (“WOC”), a US corporation which operated as of the closing of the acquisition through its subsidiaries, 161 convenience stores. The transaction closed June 3, 2015.

$25.0 million of the consideration was not paid to the seller at closing, but was to be paid as deferred consideration secured by a non-interest bearing up to ten-year promissory note (the “Midwest Seller Note”) issued by Holdco to the seller on June 3, 2015, while a portion of the payments were deposited into an escrow account.

F-91

The mechanism described above was established mainly based on obligations of a former affiliate of WOC (WOC is now a fully owned subsidiary of GPM), unrelated to the Group (the “Former Affiliate”), to make payments to a pension fund, and under US law, the pension fund could have required such payment from WOC.

On May 11, 2017, the Former Affiliate filed in Delaware for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Following that, the pension fund made a demand for payment of the full amount of the pension fund obligation, claiming that the outstanding principal amount of the pension obligation was approximately $58.1 million plus interest, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees and costs.

On March 23, 2018, the pension fund filed an action against WOC, the subsidiaries of WOC which were acquired in the Midwest Acquisition, and certain affiliates of the Former Affiliate asserting that those entities are jointly and severally liable for the full amount of the pension obligation.

On April 2, 2019, a settlement agreement was signed among GPM, the Midwest Seller, the private equity fund which is in control of the seller in the Midwest Acquisition and the pension fund whereby WOC paid $1.5 million at the signing of the settlement agreement by use of the funds held in the escrow account. The remaining $17.5 million of the settlement amount was paid on September 3, 2019. The settlement agreement also confirmed that the Midwest Seller Note was cancelled.

In addition, in accordance with the settlement agreement, in September 2019 a remaining amount of $1.1 million balance of the Midwest Acquisition purchase price that was held in an escrow account was released to the seller in the Midwest Acquisition.

In the year ended December 31, 2018, the effect of the above legal matters amounted to a net amount of approximately $2.3 million, which was presented in the other expenses (income), net line on the consolidated statement of operations. In the year ended December 31, 2019, an immaterial amount was presented in the other expenses (income), net line for associated legal expenses recorded.

Legal Matters

GPM is also a party to various other legal actions, as both plaintiff and defendant, in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management believes, based on GPM’s estimations with support from legal counsel for these matters, that these other actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of GPM’s business and that it is not reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

13. Leases

For further information regarding the adoption of ASC 842, including the method of adoption and practical expedients elected, see Note 2.

Lessee

As of December 31, 2019, the Group leases 1,090 of the convenience stores that it operates, 58 dealer locations and certain office spaces used by GPM as its headquarters in the US and the Company’s headquarters in Israel, including land and buildings in certain cases. Most of the lease agreements are for long-term periods, ranging from 15 to 25 years, and generally include several options for extension periods for five to 10 years each. The leases contain escalation clauses and renewal options as outlined in the agreements. Additionally, the Group leases certain store equipment, office equipment, automatic tank gauges, store lighting and fuel dispensers.

As of December 31, 2019, there are approximately 620 sites which are leased under 28 separate master lease agreements. Master leases with 10 lessors encompass a total of approximately 600 sites. Master leases with the

F-92

same landlord contain cross-default provisions, in most cases. In most instances in which the GPM leases multiple stores from one landlord, each one under a separate lease agreement, the lease agreements contain cross-default provisions between all or some of the other lease agreements with the same landlord.

The rental agreements include rental fees that are set at the beginning of the lease, but which may increase by a specified increment or pursuant to a formula both during the course of the initial period and any additional option periods.

Some of the rental agreements include escalation clauses based on the consumer price index, and some of the lease agreements include an increase in the consumer price index coupled with a multiplier and a percentage increase cap effectively assures the cap will be reached each year. Lease payments determined as in-substance fixed payments are included in the lease payments used for the measurement of the lease liabilities. Some of the rental agreements include rental payments which are contingent upon petroleum and merchandise sales (these amounts were not material during the above periods). In some of the rental agreements, GPM is given the right of first refusal to purchase the sites from the lessor and in some of the rental agreements GPM is given an option to purchase the sites from the lessor.

The leases are typically triple net leases whereby GPM is responsible for the repair and maintenance at the site, insurance and property taxes in addition to environmental compliance.

Under ASC 842, the components of lease cost recorded on the consolidated statement of operations were as follows:


	Year ended December 31, 2019
	(in thousands)

Total lease costs	$	135,985

Total rent expense associated with these operating leases as measured under ASC 840 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $90.8 million and $77.3 million, respectively, and was primarily recorded in store operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Total interest expense associated with the financing leases was $15.4 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In 2019, the total cash outflows for leases amounted to approximately $93.2 million for operating leases and $26.7 million for financing leases.

Lessor

GPM leases and subleases owned and leased properties to independent dealers and other tenants and subtenants which are accounted for as operating subleases. These leases and subleases are generally for periods of up to 10 years, which may be a fixed period or a shorter period with an option or series of renewal options, and in certain cases with additional renewal options past such 10-year period. Some of the rental agreements include

F-94

rental fees which are based upon such tenant’s or subtenants’ sales subject to fixed minimum rental fees. At the time that an agreement is entered into, the dealers and other tenants and subtenants usually post a security deposit as collateral. Total operating sublease income for the Group was approximately $8.5 million, $7.9 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Sublease income is included in other revenues, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2019, the future minimum cash payments to be received under these operating subleases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year were as follows:

14. Environmental Liabilities and Contingencies

The Group is subject to certain federal and state environmental laws and regulations associated with convenience store sites where it stores and sells fuel and other fuel products.

Costs incurred to comply with federal and state environmental regulations are accounted for as follows:

•

Annual payments for registration of underground storage tanks are recorded as prepaid expenses when paid and expensed throughout the year.

•

Environmental compliance testing costs of underground storage tanks are expensed as incurred.

•

Payments for upgrading and installing corrosion protection for tank systems and installation of leak detectors and overfill/spill devices are capitalized and depreciated over the expected remaining useful life of the relevant UST or the lease period of the relevant site in which the UST is installed, whichever is shorter. Leak detectors installed are capitalized and depreciated over the expected remaining useful life of the equipment.

•

Costs for removal of underground storage tanks located at GPM’s convenience stores and selected dealer locations are classified under the asset retirement obligation section as described in Note 12.

•

A liability for GPM’s future remediation costs of contaminated sites related to underground storage tanks as well as other exposures, is established when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Reimbursement for these expenses from government funds or from insurance companies is recognized as a receivable. The liabilities and receivables are not discounted to their present value. The net change in the reimbursement asset and liability for future remediation costs is recorded in store expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The adequacy of the reimbursement asset and liability is evaluated by a third party at least twice annually and adjustments are made based on past experience, changing environmental conditions and changes in government policy.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group’s environmental obligations totaled $15.1 million and $19.3 million, respectively. These amounts were recorded as other current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Environmental reserves have been established on an undiscounted basis based upon internal and external estimates in regard to each site. It is reasonably possible that these amounts will be adjusted in the future due to changes in estimates of environmental remediation costs, the timing of the payments or whether the federal and/or state regulations in which GPM operates, and which deal with the environment, will be amended.

F-95

GPM maintains certain environmental insurance policies and participates in various state UST funds that entitle GPM to be reimbursed for environmental loss mitigation. Estimated amounts that will be recovered by GPM from its insurance policies and various state funds for the exposures totaled $6.7 million and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and were recorded as other current and non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

The undiscounted amounts of future estimated payments and anticipated recoveries from insurance policies and various state funds as of December 31, 2019 were as follows:


	Payments		Recoveries		Net Obligations
	(in thousands)
2020	$	3,317	$	998	$	2,319

Thereafter		1,867		657		1,210

Total Future Payments and Recoveries	$	15,094	$	6,716	$	8,378

15. Income Taxes

The Company’s subsidiary, GPM, is taxed as a partnership for US federal and certain state jurisdictions for income tax purposes. Certain subsidiaries of GPM are taxed as a corporation for US federal and state income tax purposes. The taxable income and loss from all activities of GPM, excluding the activities of GPM’s subsidiaries which are taxed as a corporation, are included in the taxable income or loss of the GPM’s members.

On December 22, 2017, the US government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referenced as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”), which made broad changes to the US tax code including, among others: reducing the US federal tax corporate rate to 21%; eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax, a new minimum tax; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and limiting deductible interest expense . As a result of implementation of the TCJA, in 2017, the Company’s adjusted the deferred tax assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries which resulted in recording a one-time benefit in the amount of approximately $4.2 million.

The Company has income tax net operating losses (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards related to both domestic and international operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $32.2 million reflecting the benefit of $79.4 million in loss carryforwards and $12.7 million in tax credits. The deferred tax assets expire as follows:


	Amount		Expiration Date
	(in thousands)
Domestic NOL	$	17,546	Indefinite life
Domestic capital loss		3,014	Indefinite life
Domestic tax credits		5,931	2019—2024
Foreign NOL		61,898	2027—Indefinite
Foreign tax credits		6,809	2030—2034

At each balance sheet date, the Company’s management assesses available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the respective three-year

F-96

periods. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as the Company’s projections for future growth. On the basis of the evaluation, a valuation allowance has been recorded to reflect only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $24.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

The benefits of tax positions are not recorded unless it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained upon challenge by the appropriate tax authorities. Tax benefits that are more likely than not to be sustained are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is cumulatively greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized. As of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries have not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company is subject to foreign withholding on payments of interest from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The withholding rate for the US- Israel Tax Treaty in respect of interest payments is 17.5%.

Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is subject to examination in their respective filing jurisdiction. For the Company’s US subsidiaries, tax years ending after December 31, 2016 remain open. The Company’s tax returns up to and including tax year 2014 are considered as closed due to statute of limitations.

Company Payments to Related Parties in Connection with the Provision of Service as Officers or Employment in the Company

On November 1, 2005, the Company entered into ongoing service agreement with KMG Realty LLC (“KMG”), a US registered entity wholly owned and controlled by Mr. Arie Kotler, one of the Company’s controlling shareholders, under which Mr. Kotler’s services will be provided to the Company as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The terms and period of the agreement have been updated and extended from time to time, up to and including October 31, 2020 (the “KMG Management Agreement”).

The extension of the KMG Management Agreement was approved at the Company’s general meeting on October 2, 2017, which also approved Mr. Kotler’s authorization to continue in the position of CEO (or exercise his power) in parallel with his tenure as Chairman of the Board, for an additional period of three years (effective from November 1, 2017 through October 31, 2020) at no additional cost.

According to the KMG Management Agreement, KMG is entitled to a monthly management fee in the amount of approximately $5 thousand, linked to the Consumer Price Index (a total of approximately

F-101

$60 thousand annually linked to the consumer price index in 2019, 2018 and 2017), and to a reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by KMG in connection with the provision of management services. Total amounts paid to KMG in accordance with the KMG Management Agreement, recorded in general and administrative expenses, were approximately $60 thousand, $70 thousand and $60 thousand in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Subject to the limitations of the law, KMG (including its employees, agents or anyone acting on its behalf) is entitled to indemnification from the Company for any damage, debt, loss or expense resulting from the provision of management services or related to these management services, except due to gross negligence, bad faith or malice.

The KMG Management Agreement will remain in effect as long as Mr. Kotler continues to serve as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. The termination of the KMG Management Agreement will be made in writing by either party with at least six months notification in advance. The provisions of the KMG Management Agreement will continue to apply during the notice period. The Company may, in its sole discretion, waive the actual provision of the services during the notice period, in whole or in part, provided that it pays KMG the full management fee as Chairman of the Board, and the payments and benefits to which it is entitled for the entire notice period.

Subsidiaries’ Payments to Related Parties in Connection with the Provision of Service as Officers or Employment in the Company

Mr. Kotler

Commencing from December 27, 2011, Mr. Kotler serves as GPM’s CEO under the terms and period of a management services agreement between GPM and KMG in connection with Mr. Kotler’s services as GPM’s CEO, which were approved and extended by resolutions of the shareholders of the Company from time to time (the “Management Agreement”).

Accordingly, on November 11, 2019, the Company’s general meeting approved the terms of the current Management Agreement, in respect of the period commencing from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022, which had been extended and updated for the period up to December 31, 2019, as specified below:

•

As of January 1, 2020, KMG is entitled to a monthly management fee of approximately $90,000 (instead of a monthly management fee of approximately $60,000 paid from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019).

•

KMG is entitled to receive an annual bonus (the “annual bonus”) in accordance with GPM’s bonus program, applicable to most of GPM’s headquarters’ staff.

•

The annual bonus to which KMG will be entitled will not exceed six monthly management fee payments. Based on GPM’s results for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, KMG was not eligible for the annual bonus.

•

If KMG will be entitled to the annual bonus, in whole or in part, it will be entitled for up to a third of the annual bonus (i.e., up to two months of management fees), and its entitlement for the balance (up to four months of management fees) is subject to an increase in the Company’s share price, so that for each 5% increase in the Company’s share price against a defined base price, KMG will be entitled to a one-month fixed management fee, and up to a four month fixed management fee. The annual bonus as stated above will be measured and paid annually.

In December 2016, a Profits Participation Agreement was signed which entitles KMG to an annual net profit participation amount for the years 2017 through 2019 which is calculated as the lower of (i) 3% of GPM’s annual net profit, based on GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2017,

F-102

December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, or (ii) $280 thousand. On account of 2017, KMG was entitled to approximately $189 thousand. On account of 2018, KMG was entitled to approximately $280 thousand. KMG was not entitled to an annual profit participation amount on account of 2019. Approximately $210 thousand was paid as advances in 2019 which was recorded as a prepaid asset on the December 31, 2019 consolidated balance sheet.

Total amounts paid to KMG in accordance with the Management Agreement and the Profit Participation Agreement, recorded in general and administrative expenses, were approximately $0.7 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Effective from January 1, 2020, the Profits Participation Agreement was amended such that the annual net profit participation amount for the years 2020 through 2022 is calculated as the higher of (i) 5% of GPM’s annual net profits for such calendar year based on GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements after adjustments as defined below, or (ii) 5% of the positive difference (if any) between the adjusted EBITDA for such calendar year and the adjusted EBITDA for the prior calendar year (as defined below), up to an annual maximum amount of $400 thousand.

“Adjustments” shall mean the following add backs to the net income (loss) line of GPM’s US GAAP consolidated financial statements: (1) exchange rates differences related to NIS liabilities of GPM to the Company; (2) finance expenses related to loans provided by the Company to GPM and its subsidiaries; (3) advisory service fees from GPM to the Company; (4) adjustments resulting from the impact of the implementation of ASC 842; and (5) transaction costs.

“Adjusted EBITDA” shall mean, for any given calendar year, GPM’s net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest and income taxes and further adjusted to exclude certain other expenses and adjustments (without deducting the non-controlling interest portion), as will be published to the public by GPM or if GPM does not make such publications then by a company controlling GPM, as part of an annual report for such calendar year filed with a major stock exchange (including the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange).

In the event of termination of the Management Agreement during a calendar year, KMG will be entitled within 14 days from the date of publication of GPM’s annual financial statements for that year to a pro rata portion of the annual participation amount which will be calculated according to the number of months during the year until termination, divided by twelve.

KMG is entitled to quarterly advances each year in an amount of up to 25% of the annual net participation amount and it undertook that to the extent that following the publication of GPM’s annual reports it becomes clear that the annual net participation amount is lower than the aforesaid advances paid for that year, then the excess amounts will be offset from any future amounts to which it will be entitled.

The payments as stated above will be made subject to KMG’s obligation to pay back GPM amounts it received based on the above mentioned payments, in an event that the database used for their calculation turns out to be erroneous as part of a restatement of the annual financial statements of GPM (which is not as a result of changes in generally accepted accounting principles) during a period of twelve consecutive quarters after the date of such payments.

Subject to the limitations of the law, KMG (including its employees, agents and / or anyone on its behalf) will be entitled to indemnification from GPM, GPMP and / or any other corporation controlled by GPM for any damage, debt, loss or expense arising from the provision of the management services or related to such services, and GPM and GPMP and / or any other entity controlled by GPM (to the extent that they hold a separate policy from GPM) will insure KMG and / or Mr. Kotler with officers’ insurance.

Termination of the engagement will be made by written notice by either party with at least 180 days advance notice. GPM may, in its sole discretion, waive receiving the services during the notice period, in whole

F-103

or in part, provided that it pays KMG the management fees, and all other payments and benefits to which it is entitled for the entire notice period. The Management Agreement includes provisions with regard to early termination as is customary in similar management agreements to which GPM is a party.

Mr. Willner

Mr. Morris Willner, one of the Company’s controlling shareholders, serves as Chairman of the Board of GPM. The terms of the management services agreement between GPM and a US registered entity owned and controlled by Mr. Willner (the “Willner Management Company”) were first approved in 2015 (the “Willner Management Agreement”). On October 2, 2017, the Company’s General Meeting approved the extension of the Willner Management Agreement for an additional period of three years, from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020.

Pursuant to the Willner Management Agreement, during the term of providing the services, the Willner Management Company will provide GPM, through Mr. Willner, with management services of the type provided by a chairman of the board. In consideration for providing the services, the Willner Management Company is entitled to receive from GPM monthly management fees in the amount of $24,000. In addition, during the period of providing the management services and for the purpose of providing these services, the Willner Management Company will be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred in providing the management services. Total amounts paid to Mr. Willner in accordance with the Willner Management Agreement, recorded in general and administrative expenses, were approximately $0.3 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

The Willner Management Company will be entitled to receive an annual payment based on GPM’s bonus plan, provided that in any case the payment to which the Willner Management Company will be entitled will not exceed six monthly management fee payments. Based on GPM’s results for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Willner Management Company was not eligible for the annual bonus.

In addition and subject to the limitations of the law, the Willner Management Company (including its employees, agents and / or anyone acting on its behalf) will be entitled to indemnification from GPM for any damage, liability, loss or expense arising from providing the management services or related to such management services, and GPM will have the Willner Management Company and / or Mr. Willner as Chairman of the Board of GPM covered by a directors and officers’ insurance policy.

The Willner Management Agreement can be terminated by at least 90 days in advance with written notice given by either party. GPM may, in its sole discretion, waive receiving the services during the notice period, in whole or in part, provided that it pays the Willner Management Company the management fees and all other payments and benefits to which it is entitled for the entire notice period. The Willner Management Agreement includes provisions with regard to early termination as is customary in similar management agreements to which GPM is a party.

Convertible bonds (par value)		994		1,388		1,685
Restricted share units		2,136		2,960		3,946

20. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes fair value measurement guidance prescribed by accounting standards to value its financial instruments. The guidance specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels.


Level 1:		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:		Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3:		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value adjustment.

Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 2019, 2018 or 2017.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments, and restricted cash in respect with Company’s bonds, trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their carrying values as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 primarily due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term debt approximated their carrying values as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset based on changes in prevailing interest rates.

F-105

The Bonds (Series C) were presented in the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. The fair value of the Bonds (Series C) was $86.3 million and $85.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value measurements were classified as Level 1.

21. Segment Reporting

The reportable segments were determined based on information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for operational decision-making purposes and the segment information is prepared on the same basis that our chief operating decision maker reviews such financial information. The Company’s reporting segments are the retail segment, the wholesale segment and the GPMP segment. The Company defines segment earnings as operating income.

The GPMP segment includes GPMP and primarily includes the sale and supply of fuel to GPM and its subsidiaries selling fuel (both in the Retail and Wholesale segments) at GPMP’s cost of fuel including taxes and transportation plus a fixed margin and the supply of fuel to a small number of independent outside operators and bulk purchasers.

The “All Other” segment includes the results of non-reportable segments which do not meet both quantitative and qualitive criteria as defined under ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

With the exception of goodwill as described in Note 8 above, assets and liabilities relevant to the reportable segments are not assigned to any particular segment, but rather, managed at the consolidated level. All segment revenues were generated from sites within the US and substantially all assets were within the US. No external customer represented more than 10% of revenues.

Other than the events described in Notes 3, 11, 16 and 18 above and below, no other events were identified that required recognition or disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

Ares Credit Agreement

As described in Note 11 above, on February 28, 2020 (the “Ares Closing Date”), GPM entered into an agreement with Ares to provide financing to GPM in a total amount of up to $347 million (the “Ares Credit Agreement” and the “Ares Loan” out of which the Company committed to provide GPM up to $47 million, as part of a syndication that was planned by Ares for the loan). On May 27, 2020, an amendment to the Ares Credit Agreement was signed (the “May 2020 amendment”), pursuant to which the Ares Loan amount was reduced to a total of up to $225 million, as detailed below, which was in accordance with Ares eligibility under the Ares Credit Agreement to reduce up to $75 million of the total Ares Loan amount. In addition, the Company’s commitment to provide GPM up to $47 million was cancelled and instead on June 30, 2020, the Company provided GPM and certain other fully owned subsidiaries a $25.0 million related-party loan secured by first degree liens on assets owned by GPM and certain other fully owned subsidiaries and Ares and PNC released their liens on such assets.

F-109

The following is a description of the key terms of the Ares Credit Agreement, as amended in the May 2020 amendment.

A loan in the amount of up to $225 million comprised of the following:

•

Initial Term Loan – $162 million that was provided at the Ares Closing Date. The Initial Term Loan and the proceeds of the Class F Membership Units (as described in Note 3.A. above) were primarily used by GPM to repay the entire outstanding balance of GPM’s related-party loans in the total amount of approximately $118 million, as well as to prepay the outstanding balance of the term loans from PNC for a total amount of $39.5 million.

•

Delayed Term Loan A – per the May 2020 amendment up to $63 million (instead of $135 million pursuant to the Ares Credit Agreement from February 28, 2020) that is to be used GPM to finance part of the consideration in the Empire Acquisition (including working capital) or investment in GPMP in exchange for an additional percentage that, pursuant to an amendment entered into in August 2020, can be borrowed in two drawings to be made no later than October 10, 2020. The obligation is subject to not having any material changes in the Empire Acquisition not approved by Ares.

All of the above will bear the same terms as to payment terms, interest and liens.

The Ares Loan bears interest, as elected by GPM at: (a) a rate per annum equal to the Ares Alternative Base Rate (“Ares ABR”) plus a margin of 3.75%, or (b) LIBOR as defined in the agreement (not less than 1.5%) plus a margin of 4.75%. After one year from the Ares Closing Date, if the leverage ratio will be lower than 4.00 to 1, the margin will be reduced to 3.625% and 4.625%, respectively. The interest is being paid in quarterly installments under Ares ABR loans, and for LIBOR loans, the interest will be paid at the end of each LIBOR period but at least every three months. For unused portions of the Ares Credit Agreement, 1% per annum is being paid.

Ares ABR is equal to the greatest of: (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, all as defined in the agreement.

The Ares Loan is secured by a pledge on substantially all of the assets of GPM and all of its fully owned subsidiaries which are guarantors (other than assets that cannot be pledged due to regulatory or contractual obligations and assets pledged to M&T) including all of such entities’ rights in their subsidiaries (other than GPMP, Broyles Hospitality, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries).

The immediate owners of GPM, ACS, LLC, Holdings and HP SCF have pledged all their membership units in GPM as collateral to Ares.

Such pledges are in first priority other than second priority pledges on those assets pledged in first priority to PNC and certain other permitted liens. To the extent that the Group has financing agreements or leasing agreements with other third parties as defined according to ASC 842, the Group has also granted liens in favor of these third parties, which liens have priority over the collateral given to Ares.

The Ares Credit Agreement includes limitations and covenants as follows:

•

A leverage ratio will be measured on a quarterly basis.

•

The total indebtedness of Company and its subsidiaries (including GPMP) with regard to existing and future indebtedness, including, among other things, that the revolving line of credit to fund working

F-110

capital (not including GPMP) will not exceed $200 million, limitations on incurrence of additional debt by GPMP if its total leverage ratio exceeds 4.75 to 1, and additional limitations on existing and future indebtedness, including with regard to indebtedness secured by specific assets.

•

Distributions to the members of GPM other than from equity issuance are subject to, among other things, the existence of excess cash flows (as defined in the Ares Credit Agreement) not required to be applied to prepay loans (or any portion thereof) and to a leverage ratio after such distribution not to exceed 2.85 to 1.

•

Payments to HP SCF on account of the senior preferred membership units and common membership units is subject to (unless made from equity issuance proceeds) a leverage ratio not to exceed 2.35 to 1.

•

Additional customary limitations and provisions exist as to payments to related-parties, new investments, sale of assets, payment of other indebtedness, liens and reporting requirements, among others.

•

Defaults of the Ares Credit Agreement include, among other things, the failure to pay principal and interest as required or non-compliance with financial covenants subject to a cure period in accordance with the Ares Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with Ares Credit Agreement, Ares has variety of remedies, which includes the immediate repayment of the Ares Loan and cancellation of the commitment to provide the remaining obligations for subsequent loans according to the Ares Credit Agreement.

The Ares Credit Agreement includes events in which prepayments of the loan will be mandatory which include, among other things, excess cash flows according to mechanisms determined in the Ares Credit Agreement, net proceeds from sale of assets and net proceeds from additional indebtedness incurred as defined in the Ares Credit Agreement.

COVID-19 – Coronavirus

An outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) began in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread throughout the world. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. Since the second half of March 2020, the pandemic has caused the issuance of orders in the US by the federal government, as well as governments of states and localities within the US, in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus (such as restrictions on gathering and the closure of certain businesses).

During this period and until the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, GPM’s convenience stores and independent outside operations continue to operate and remain open to the public as convenience store operations and gas stations are deemed an essential business by numerous federal and state authorities, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and therefore are exempt from many of the restrictions that were, or are currently, imposed on the activity of US businesses. Commencing in May 2020, various states and localities began to gradually ease their stay-at-home orders and the orders requiring certain types of businesses to be closed. In addition, during this period and until the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, the supply of products and gas to GPM’s convenience stores and gas stations has continued without any significant interruption. During this period and until the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, there were positive impacts on the Company’s results of operations as measured regularly on the basis of segment operating income.

This increase in segment operating income was principally due to the significant increase in the fuel margin, which partially resulted from the significant drop in fuel prices commencing at the beginning of March 2020 and continuing through the end of April 2020, despite the significant reduction in the amount of gallons sold in the gas stations as a result of COVID-19 beginning in the second half of March 2020. Although fuel prices began to gradually increase in May 2020, fuel margin remained at higher levels than those achieved historically. Further, beginning in May 2020, stay-at-home orders began to be eased which resulted in an increase in the amount of gallons sold to prior weeks.

F-111

In light of the reduction in the amount of gallons sold, GPM’s principal fuel suppliers have temporarily revoked (for periods that vary among the different suppliers) the requirements under their agreements with GPMP to purchase minimum quantities of gallons, including such requirements under the incentive agreements from such suppliers. As of June 30, 2020, the reduction in gallons sold does not affect GPMP’s compliance with its commitments under the agreements with its principal suppliers.

During the second half of March 2020, there was a reduction in the merchandise revenue from GPM’s convenience stores and in the gross margin rate from such revenues. However, from the beginning of April 2020 and through the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements, GPM experienced growth in merchandise revenue and gross margin rate from such revenues as a result of shifting consumer demand from other retail channels to convenience stores and the continued increase in revenues for products in high demand, such as face masks and hand sanitizers.

Since the pandemic is an event that is characterized by great uncertainty, as well as rapid and frequent changes, among other things, in connection with the pace of limiting the spread of the pandemic and the future measures that will be taken in order to prevent it from spreading, the Company cannot forecast nor estimate the entire impact of the pandemic on its business operations or results of operations.

Option B (Mixed Consideration): (A) a cash amount equal to 10% of such holder’s Gross Consideration Value (the “Cash Option B Amount”) plus (B) the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Arko Corp. equal to (i) such holder’s Gross Consideration Value divided by $10.00, minus (ii) such holder’s Cash Option B Amount divided by $8.50.

The share capital of Arko Corp. following the HYAC Closing Date and details regarding the holdings of Haymaker’s Founders: According to HYAC’s prospectus dated June 2019, 40 million

HAYMAKER ACQUISITION CORP. II

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 13, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company intends to acquire and operate a business in the consumer and consumer-related products and services industries. However, the Company is not limited to these industries and may pursue a business combination opportunity in any business or industry it chooses and may pursue a company with operations or opportunities outside of the United States.

At June 30, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through June 30, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target business to acquire. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and permitted investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on June 6, 2019. On June 11, 2019, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 40,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (“Placement Warrants”) in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. Of this amount, Haymaker Sponsor II, LLC (the “Sponsor”) purchased 5,550,000 Placement Warrants for $8,325,000, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) purchased 383,333 Placement Warrants for $575,000 and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) purchased 66,667 Placement Warrants for $100,000. Each Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering subject to limited exceptions, which are described in Note 4.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 11, 2019, an amount of $400,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations.

Transaction costs amounted to $22,562,030, consisting of $7,000,000 of underwriting fees, $15,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $562,030 of Initial Public Offering costs. In addition, $1,444,570 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account on June 11, 2019 and was available for working capital purposes.

F-128

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the remaining net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NASDAQ rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions in connection with the Initial Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the

F-129

Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquire shares of Class A common stock in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

The Trust Account

The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred eighty-five (185) days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account proceeds as described below. The remaining proceeds outside the Trust Account may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares sold in the Initial Public Offering that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Indemnity

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per Public Share or (ii) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust

F-130

Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 19, 2020.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had a balance of cash of $471,611.

The Company intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete its Initial Business Combination.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern through June 11, 2021 which is the date the Company is required cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it has not completed a Business Combination. The Company has incurred significant losses and may require additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations.

The Company cannot provide any assurance that additional financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

F-131

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statement, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had withdrawn $1,359,327 from the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Income Taxes

F-132

attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security “CARES” Act into law. The CARES Act includes several significant business tax provisions that, among other things, would eliminate the taxable income limit for certain net operating losses (“NOL) and allow businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to the five prior years, suspend the excess business loss rules, accelerate refunds of previously generated corporate alternative minimum tax credits, generally loosen the business interest limitation under IRC section 163(j) from 30 percent to 50 percent among other technical corrections included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax provisions. The Company does not believe that the CARES Act will have a significant impact on Company’s financial position or statement of operations.

Any difference between the effective tax rate and statutory tax rate is the result of deferred tax asset or liability balances related to unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, less common shares that were subject to forfeiture or redemption. At June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase 19,333,333 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.

F-133

Reconciliation of Net Loss per Common Share

The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the income of the Trust Account and not the losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020			Three Months Ended June 30, 2019			Six Months Ended June 30, 2020			For the period from February 13, 2019 (inception) through June 30, 2019
Net income (loss)	$	(110,239	)	$	340,047		$	1,063,609		$	340,047
Less: Income attributable to common stock subject to redemption		(143,129	)		(358,023	)		(1,456,829	)		(358,023	)

Adjusted net loss	$	(253,368	)	$	(17,976	)	$	(393,220	)	$	(17,976	)
Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted		11,899,820			9,386,565			11,891,709			7,236,612

Basic and diluted net loss per common share	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.00	)	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.00	)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2020, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 40,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant (“Redeemable Warrant”). Each whole Redeemable Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock and only whole warrants are exercisable. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Redeemable Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each whole Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (see Note 7).

4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

F-134

proceeds of $9,000,000. Of this amount, the Sponsor purchased 5,550,000 Placement Warrants for $8,325,000, Cantor purchased 383,333 Placement Warrants for $575,000 and Stifel purchased 66,667 Placement Warrants for $100,000. Each Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, Stifel or their permitted transferees. In addition, the Placement Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The proceeds from the Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. Additionally, for so long as the Placement Warrants are held by Cantor, Stifel or their designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On March 15, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,625,000 shares of Class B common stock to the Sponsor (“Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On June 6, 2019, the Company effected a 1.16666667 for 1 stock dividend for each share of Class B common stock outstanding, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,062,500 Founder Shares (up to 1,312,500 shares of which were subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option was exercised). The Sponsor has forfeited, as the result of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of the underwriter, 62,500 of these Founder Shares, resulting in the Sponsor holding 10,000,000 Founder Shares, which is 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A common stock upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments as described in Note 7. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B convertible common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

The Initial Stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any Public Shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Initial Business Combination.

Administrative Services Agreement

F-135

Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred and paid $60,000 of expenses.

Related Party Loans

On March 15, 2019, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2019 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company repaid the full $270,000 borrowed under the Note on June 11, 2019 and has no borrowings from the Note as of June 30, 2020.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with the Initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant that would be identical to Placement Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

6. COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares, Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, will be entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cantor, Stifel and their designees may not exercise their demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion.

The holders of Founder Shares, Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will not be able to sell these securities until the termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering of $350,000,000, or $7,000,000. In addition, the underwriters have earned an additional 3.5% on $350,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $12,250,000, plus an additional 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the over-allotment, or $2,750,000 (“Deferred Underwriting Commission”) that will be paid upon consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. This commitment of $15,000,000 has been recorded as Deferred Underwriter Compensation in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. The underwriting agreement provides that the deferred underwriting discount will be waived by the underwriter if the Company does not complete its Initial Business Combination.

A portion of the Deferred Underwriter Compensation (up to a maximum $3,243,750) may be paid to Stifel or other third parties that did not participate in the Initial Public Offering (but who are members of FINRA) that assist the Company in consummating an Initial Business Combination. The election to make such payments to third parties will be solely at the discretion of the Company’s management team, and such third parties will be selected by the Company’s management team in their sole and absolute discretion; provided, that no single third party (together with its affiliates) may be paid an amount in excess of the portion of the aggregate Deferred Underwriting Commission paid to the underwriter unless the parties otherwise agree.

F-136

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2020, there were 1,919,777 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding (excluding 38,080,223 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption). At December 31, 2019, there were 1,883,597 shares issued and outstanding (excluding 38,116,403 shares subject to redemption).

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company’s initial stockholders currently own an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us)

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

Warrants —

Redeemable Warrants

Each whole Redeemable Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock and only whole warrants are exercisable. The Redeemable Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each whole Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade requiring a purchase at least three units to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

F-137

exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, unless an exemption is available. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following its Initial Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, inclusive of interest earned on equity held in trust, available for the funding of the Initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Initial Business Combination is consummated (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

F-138

Placement Warrants

The Sponsor, Cantor, and Stifel purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per whole warrant in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each whole Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. These Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, Stifel or their or their permitted transferees. The Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and they will not be redeemable so long as they are held by the Company’s Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Redeemable Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis the Redeemable Warrants.

If holders of the Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that the Company has agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, or its permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following the Initial Business Combination. If they remain affiliated with the Company, their ability to sell the Company’s securities in the open market will be significantly limited. The Company expects to have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling the Company’s securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell the Company’s securities, an insider cannot trade in the Company’s securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could sell the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so. As a result, the Company believes that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of any of these warrants) until the date that is 30 days after the date the Company completes its Initial Business Combination.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

F-139

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:


Level 1:		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:		Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:		Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level		June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account		1	$	404,986,790	$	404,362,721

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Other than as described in these financial statements, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

On July 13, 2020, the Company, ARKO Holdings Ltd. (“Arko”) and GPM Investments, LLC (“GPM”) issued a joint press release, announcing that the Company, Arko and GPM had entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) for a business combination. Arko is an Israeli holding company which, through its indirect U.S. subsidiary, GPM, is a leading convenience store operator with 1,272 company-operated stores and 128 additional sites as of December 31, 2019 to which it delivers fuel in the United States (excluding pending acquisitions).

Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the Company and Arko intend to enter into a definitive agreement pursuant to which the Company and Arko would combine, with the former equity holders of both entities and the minority equity holders of GPM holding equity in the combined public company listed on Nasdaq (the “Surviving Company”) and with Arko’s existing equity holders owning a majority of the equity in the Surviving Company. The final terms of the definitive agreement are subject to the completion of due diligence to the Company’s satisfaction.

Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the enterprise value of the combined company is approximately $1.5 billion. It is expected that there will be a substantial rollover of equity by the existing equity holders GPM and Arko.

F-140

The completion of the business combination is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and satisfaction of the conditions therein, including (i) completion of any required stock exchange and regulatory review, (ii) approval of the transaction by the Company’s and Arko’s stockholders, (iii) receipt by Arko and GPM of any required third-party approvals, and (iv) the Company’s common stock being listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that the parties will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement, or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from February 13, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from February 13, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination and the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2019 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through December 31, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target business to acquire. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents and permitted investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a balance of cash and cash equivalents of $816,926.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and may require additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations.

Emerging Growth Company

F-150

Use of Estimates

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

F-151

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, less common shares that were subject to forfeiture or redemption. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase 19,333,333 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) per Common Share


	For the Period from February 13, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019
Net Income	$	2,997,981
Less: Income attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption		(3,286,697	)

Adjusted net loss	$	(288,716	)

Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted		9,551,583

Basic and diluted net loss per common share	$	(0.03	)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At December 31, 2019, the Company had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

F-152

(“Redeemable Warrant”). Each whole Redeemable Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock and only whole warrants are exercisable. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Redeemable Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each whole Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (see Note 7).

4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. Of this amount, the Sponsor purchased 5,550,000 Placement Warrants for $8,325,000, Cantor purchased 383,333 Placement Warrants for $575,000 and Stifel purchased 66,667 Placement Warrants for $100,000. Each Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one whole share of the Company’s Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor, Stifel or their permitted transferees. In addition, the Placement Warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The proceeds from the Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from the sale of the Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Administrative Services Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on June 7, 2019 through the earlier of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will pay the Sponsor a monthly fee of $20,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support. For the period from February 13, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, the Company had incurred and paid $136,000 of expenses.

Registration Rights

Underwriting Agreement

F-154

3.5% on $350,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $12,250,000, plus an additional 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the $50,000,000 over-allotment, or $2,750,000 (“Deferred Underwriting Commission”) that will be paid upon consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. This commitment of $15,000,000 has been recorded as Deferred Underwriter Compensation in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The underwriting agreement provides that the deferred underwriting discount will be waived by the underwriter if the Company does not complete its Initial Business Combination.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. At December 31, 2019, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Company’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2019, there were 1,883,597 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding (excluding 38,116,403 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption).

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company’s initial stockholders currently own an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s Initial Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in this prospectus and related to the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the Initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Company’s Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to us)

Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

Warrants —

Redeemable Warrants

F-155

the completion of the Initial Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Each whole Redeemable Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50.

If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act within 60 business days following the Initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, unless an exemption is available. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

•

in whole and not in part;

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

•

F-156

issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, inclusive of interest earned on equity held in trust, available for the funding of the Initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Initial Business Combination is consummated (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

F-158

inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:


Level 1:		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:		Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level		December 31, 2019
Assets:
Cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account		1	$	404,362,721

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statement.

From and after the Second Effective Time, all issued and outstanding Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate theretofore representing any Shares or holder whose name is included in the Company’s shareholder register (other than the Nominee Company) (in each case, a “Certificate”) or Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 and Section 2.04(b). All Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Sections 2.04(c) or (e)) shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

(e) No Fractional Shares.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares for six (6) months after the Second Effective Time shall be delivered to Parentco, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parentco for the Cash Consideration, the Stock Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parentco Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parentco Common Stock to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parentco free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Parentco, the First Surviving Company or the Second Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any such Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights.

(i) Each of the First Surviving Company, Parentco, Haymaker and the Exchange Agent (each, a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration or any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the Ordinance or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign tax Law, provided that, with respect to the withholding of Israeli Tax, Sections 2.04(i)(ii) or (iii) shall apply.

(ii) If, prior to the Closing Date, the Israeli Tax Ruling is obtained, then the Merger Consideration payable to each holder of Shares shall be paid, subject to the terms of the Israeli Tax Ruling, as follows: (A) to any holder of Book-Entry Shares, through the facilities of the TASE and the applicable TASE

A-9

member, and the withholding of any amounts for Israeli Taxes from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the applicable TASE member, unless otherwise provided for in the Israeli Tax Ruling or, with respect to any holder of Book-Entry Shares that is not subject to the Israeli Tax Ruling, if such holder of Book-Entry Shares shall provide a Valid Tax Certificate regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the consideration payable to such holder of Shares in accordance with this Article II or such other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Parentco and Payor, in their sole discretion, then such withholding shall be made by Payor in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate (or such other documentation, if applicable); and (B) to any holder of record of Shares represented by Certificate (or, if provided in the Israeli Tax Ruling, holders of Book-Entry Shares, and subject to the terms of the Israeli Tax Ruling) to the Israeli Exchange Agent for the benefit of each such holder of Shares after submission by such holder of Shares of a duly executed letter of transmittal to the Israeli Exchange Agent, provided that if any such holder of Shares under this clause (B) shall provide a Valid Tax Certificate regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the consideration payable to such holder of Shares in accordance with this Article II, or, with respect to any such aforementioned holder of Book-Entry Shares, such other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Parentco and Payor, in their sole discretion, then the deduction and withholding of any amounts shall be made by the Exchange Agent only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate or such other documentation, if applicable, unless such holder of Shares instructs the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold in accordance with the maximum amounts provided under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or requirement, if any, from the Merger Consideration payable to such holder of Shares.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04(i)(ii), if the Israeli Tax Ruling is not obtained prior to the Closing Date, then with respect to Israeli Taxes, the consideration payable to all holders of Shares shall be paid at the Closing Date to the Israeli Exchange Agent and the Payor shall be entitled to withhold Tax in accordance with Section 2.04(i)(i) above. The Exchange Agent may retain for the benefit of holders of record of Shares represented by Certificate only, for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time no Payor shall make any payments to any such holder of Shares or withhold any amounts for Israeli Taxes from the payments deliverable to such holders of Shares pursuant to this Agreement thereto). If no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, a Valid Tax Certificate (or, with respect to any such aforementioned holder of Book-Entry Shares, such other documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Parentco and Payor, in their sole discretion) is delivered to Payor by such holder of Shares, then, with respect to such holder of Shares, the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate (or such other documentation, if applicable) and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be paid to such holder of Shares concurrently therewith, subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment (if any). If such holder of Shares (i) does not provide Payor with or is not the subject of a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other documentation, if applicable), by no later than five (5) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request with Payor to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate (or such other documentation, if applicable) at or before such time, the amount to be withheld from such shareholder’s portion of the Merger Consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate in accordance with applicable Law (increased by interest plus linkage differences, as defined in Section 159A of the Ordinance, for the period between the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs and the time the relevant payment is made, and calculated in NIS based on a US$:NIS exchange rate not lower than the effective exchange rate at the Closing Date) as reasonably determined by Parentco and the Exchange Agent.

(iv) To the extent that amounts are withheld by the Payor (or an applicable TASE member), such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Payor shall be permitted to satisfy any Tax withholding requirement with respect to the Merger Consideration by (A) deducting and

A-10

withholding the appropriate cash amount from the Cash Consideration or (B) if such Cash Consideration is not sufficient to satisfy such deduction or withholding or if only Stock Consideration is being delivered to any holder of Shares, the Payor may sell or otherwise dispose of a sufficient number of shares out of the Stock Consideration which will satisfy any deduction or withholding requirements without any claims to the Payor for such sell or disposition. To the extent amounts are withheld by the Payor, they shall be paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority prior to the last day on which such payment is required. To the extent any Payor withholds any amounts, such Payor shall provide the affected Person, as soon as practicable (but no later than within thirty (30) Business Days), with sufficient evidence regarding such withholding. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to reduce or eliminate applicable withholding amounts in accordance with applicable Law.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Second Surviving Company, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Second Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration that such holder has elected or been deemed to have elected to receive pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 2.03, including, if applicable, the shares of Parentco Common Stock to which the holders thereof have the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02(a), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parentco Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

(ii) “Deferred Shares” shall mean 4 million shares of Parentco Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable to the Sponsor pursuant to the First Merger that shall be issued by Parentco to the Deferred Share Holders as provided in this Section 2.08.

(iii) “Parentco Common Stock 5-Day VWAP” means, on any date after the Closing, the volume weighted average price per share of Parentco Common Stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on such determination date (calculated as a single period) on Nasdaq or another stock exchange or, if not then listed, Parentco’s principal trading market, in any such case, as reported by Bloomberg or, if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar.

(iv) “Parentco Common Stock 20-Day VWAP” means, on any date after the Closing, the volume weighted average price per share of Parentco Common Stock for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on such determination date (calculated as a single period) on Nasdaq or another stock exchange or, if not then listed, Parentco’s principal trading market, in any such case, as reported by Bloomberg or, if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar.

(v) “Parentco Common Stock Minimum Volume” means, the average daily trading volume, as reported on Nasdaq, of the Parentco Common Stock for the 180-day period immediately following the Closing Date.

(vi) “Required VWAP” means either (A) the Parentco Common Stock 5-Day VWAP, if the average daily trading volume (as reported on Nasdaq or another stock exchange or, if not then listed, Parentco’s principal trading market, in any such case, as reported by Bloomberg or, if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar) during such five trading day period equals or exceeds the Parentco Common Stock Minimum Volume or (B) the Parentco Common Stock 20-Day VWAP.

(ix) “Trigger Event 2” means any of the following: (A) the first day on which the Required VWAP is equal to greater than $15.00 (such share price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.08, the “Price Target 2”) or (B) in the case of a Change in Control, if the price per share of Parentco Common Stock paid or payable in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than Price Target 2 provided that in either case (clause (A) or (B)), such Trigger Event 2 occurs on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Parentco shall issue to the Deferred Share Holders: (x) in the case of Trigger Event 1, 2,000,000 Deferred Shares and (y) in the case of Trigger Event 2, 2,000,000 Deferred Shares. Each Deferred Share Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Deferred Shares are intended to be treated as equity for accounting purposes.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control that is a Trigger Event, Parentco shall issue to the Deferred Share Holders the Deferred Shares that would be issuable pursuant to Section 2.08(b) no later than immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, if the price per share of Parentco Common Stock paid or payable in connection with such Change in Control is (i) less than Price Target 1, then no Deferred Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in respect of Trigger Event 1 or (ii) less than Price Target 2, then no Deferred Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in respect of Trigger Event 2, in each case (clauses (i) and (ii)), from and after the occurrence of or otherwise in connection with such Change in Control, and all rights to receive such Deferred Shares shall automatically, without any further action of any person, terminate and be forfeited for no consideration.

(d) The Deferred Shares and/or Price Target 1 and Price Target 2, as applicable, shall be adjusted appropriately and in good faith by the Parentco Board to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Parentco Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Parentco Common Stock or Parentco Warrants at any time prior to the issuance of the Deferred Shares pursuant to this Section 2.08 so as to provide the holders of Deferred Shares with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Section 2.08 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement prior to such event and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Deferred Shares, Price Target 1, and Price Target 2, as applicable.

(e) If Parentco, at any time prior to the issuance of all of the Deferred Shares or a forfeiture pursuant to Section 2.08(c), shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Parentco Common Stock on account of such Parentco Common Stock (or other shares of Parentco’s capital stock into which the Deferred Shares are convertible), other than as described in Section 2.08(d) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then Price Target 1 and Price Target 2 shall each be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the Parentco Board, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Parentco Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend.

(f) Parentco shall take all necessary actions and use commercially reasonable efforts to remain listed as a public company on, and for the Deferred Shares to be tradable over, Nasdaq; provided, however, the foregoing

A-13

shall not limit Parentco from consummating a Change in Control or entering into a Contract that contemplates a Change in Control. Upon the consummation of any Change in Control, other than as set forth in Section 2.08(c) above, Parentco shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 2.08(f).

(g) For purposes of this Section 2.08, Sponsor, together with any Person who hereafter becomes a party to an agreement to be bound by this Section 2.08 as provided in this Section 2.08, is referred to as a “Deferred Share Holder”. Each Deferred Share Holder hereby agrees that during the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement) the Deferred Shares, and the right to receive the Deferred Shares, shall be subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to Restricted Securities pursuant to Section 11 of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement.

(h) Parentco agrees that the Deferred Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not be issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights and will be free and clear of any Liens (other than Liens arising under applicable securities Laws or the Governing Documents of Parentco, or Liens granted, or that result from any action, or the failure to take any action, by the Person to whom such Deferred Shares are issued pursuant to this Agreement). At all times prior to the issuance or forfeiture of all of the Deferred Shares pursuant to this Section 2.08, Parentco shall keep available for issuance a sufficient number of unissued Parentco Common Stock to permit Parentco to satisfy its issuance obligations set forth in this Section 2.08, shall take all actions required to increase the authorized number of shares of Parentco Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued shares of Parentco Common Stock to permit such reservation and shall not enter into any contract or agreement that is in conflict with or would cause Parentco to violate its obligations under this sentence. Each Deferred Share Holder that is not party to this Agreement is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 2.08.

The Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms and has not been amended or modified.

There are no claims or proceedings pending with respect to the Trust Fund.

arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between the Company on the one hand, and Haymaker on the other hand, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to in this Section 5.03(b) as the “Claims”).

A-63

would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Haymaker Breach is curable by Haymaker, Parentco, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(g) unless such breach is not cured by the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after notice of such breach is provided by the Company to Haymaker; and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date; or

SECTION 8.02 Effect of Termination. Subject to Section 8.03, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no liability under this Agreement on the part of any party hereto.

SECTION 8.03 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i)

this Agreement is terminated by Haymaker pursuant to Section 8.01(h);

(ii)

this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(i);

(iii)

this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(f) and (A) a Company Acquisition Proposal shall have been received by the Company or its Representatives or any Person shall have publicly proposed or publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Company Acquisition Proposal prior to the termination of this Agreement, (B) within 6 months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement in respect of any Company Acquisition Proposal, and (C) within 12 months after the date of such termination, the Company consummates any Company Acquisition Proposal (provided that for purposes of clauses (B) and (C), each reference to “20%” in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”);

then, in the case of each of (i), (ii) and (iii), the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Haymaker the Company Termination Fee.

(b) Any payment required to be made under this Section 8.03 shall be made by wire transfer of same-day funds to the account or accounts designated by Haymaker, (i) in the case of Section 8.03(a)(i), within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, (ii) in the case of Section 8.03(a)(ii), immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination, and (iii) in the case of Section 8.03(a)(iii), immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Company Acquisition Proposal described in Section 8.03(a)(iii)(C). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one (1) occasion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, if Haymaker receives payment from the Company of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.03(a),

A-64

such payment shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Haymaker, Parentco, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II against the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, Representatives or assignees (together with the Company, collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) the Company Termination Fee does not constitute a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Haymaker for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 8.03 and, in order to obtain such payment, Haymaker commences an Action that results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of the Company Termination Fee set forth in this Section 8.03, the Company shall pay Haymaker its costs and expenses in connection with such an Action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), together with interest on such amount at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

SECTION 8.04 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, if the Transactions are not consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses; provided that the Company shall pay any filing or similar fees with respect to any regulatory or governmental approval (including any fees with respect to notifications required under the HSR Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing, since the fees and expenses are incurred as part of the registration of the securities of Parentco in Nasdaq, if the Transactions are consummated, all fees and expenses of the parties incurred prior to or as of the Closing will be fully charged to Parentco or Haymaker and will be fully assumed and paid by Parentco or Haymaker at Closing.

SECTION 8.05 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors at any time prior to the First Effective Time; provided, however, and subject to adjustments expressly set forth herein, that, after the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the shareholders of the Company, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the type of consideration into which each Company Share shall be converted upon consummation of the Second Merger. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 8.06 Waiver. At any time prior to the First Effective Time, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

A-78

acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 9.05 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of Law or otherwise); provided, however, that the Company may assign its rights (in whole or in part) under this Agreement to any lender or financing source, but in no event shall any such assignment release the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07 Parties in Interest.

SECTION 9.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state, provided that the Second Merger, and such other provisions of this Agreement expressly required by the terms of this Agreement to be governed by the ICL, shall be governed by the ICL and its regulations. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court (or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

SECTION 9.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement, Transaction Documents and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.09.

SECTION 9.10 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

A-79

SECTION 9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The mere inclusion of an item in a schedule as an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) a representation or warranty (or applicable covenants) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or establish any standard of materiality to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given within a specified number of days following a specific date or event, the day of such date or event is not counted in determining the last day for such action or notice.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1 Board Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Amended and Restated Certificate or the By-Laws of the Corporation (“By-Laws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate, and any By-Laws adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.

Section 5.2 Number, Election and Term.

(a) The number of directors of the Corporation shall be not less than [three], with at least [one] director in each of Class I, Class II and Class III. The exact number of directors shall be fixed from time to time by the action of a majority of the entire Board, provided that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

(b) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate, the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate, each of the successors elected to replace the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, if the number of directors that constitute the Board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shorten the term of any incumbent director. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Amended and Restated Certificate (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

(c) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

(d) Unless and except to the extent that the By-Laws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall not have cumulative voting rights with regard to election of directors.

Section 5.3 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Section 5.4 Removal. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Section 5.5 Preferred Stock—Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.

ARTICLE VI

BYLAWS

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws. The By-Laws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law, by this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), or by the By-Laws, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By-Laws; and provided further, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.

ARTICLE VII

SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Section 7.1 Special Meetings. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and the ability of the stockholders of the Corporation to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by another person or persons.

ARTICLE VIII

LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Limitation of Director Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

Section 8.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Amended and Restated Certificate, the By-Laws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this

B-5

Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

(d) This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

ARTICLE IX

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

To the extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Amended and Restated Certificate or in the future, and the Corporation renounces any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Corporation will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Corporation, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation with respect to a corporate opportunity that was offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and (i) such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue and (ii) the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Corporation without violating any legal obligation.

ARTICLE X

AMENDMENT OF AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force that may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Amended and Restated Certificate and the DGCL; and, except as set forth in Article VIII, all rights, preferences and privileges of whatever nature herein conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons by and pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this Article X.

ARTICLE XI

EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR CERTAIN LAWSUITS

Section 11.1 Forum.

(a) Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, another federal or state court situated in the State of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Amended and Restated Certificate or the By-Laws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against

the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 11.1(a).

(b) Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States situated in the State of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 11.1(b).

Section 11.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of Section 11.1 immediately above is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts (as applicable) located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce Section 11.1 immediately above (an “FSC Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such FSC Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Section 11.3 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article XI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article XI (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article XI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XI.

ARTICLE II

STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS

Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a). At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a).

Section 2.3. Notices. Written notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). If said notice is for a stockholders meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of

C-1

meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, and any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.7(c)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

Section 2.4. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these By Laws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.5. Voting of Shares.

(a) Voting Lists. The Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number and class of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

(b) Manner of Voting. At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the

C-2

stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

(c) Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By Laws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

(e) Inspectors of Election. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector

C-3

or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

Section 2.6. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

(i) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business (other than nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. Subject to Section 2.7(a)(iii), a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to such business, to be timely, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date (or if there has been no prior annual meeting), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Corporation.

(iii) The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of such stockholder’s intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such stockholder has complied with the requirements of such Rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a), provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Board or the chairman of the annual meeting determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 2.7(a), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a), if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.

(iv) In addition to the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein.

(b) Subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation, shares may not be issued until the full amount of the consideration has been paid, unless upon the face or back of each certificate issued to represent any partly paid shares of capital stock or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of partly paid uncertificated shares, there shall have been set forth the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon up to and including the time said certificate representing certificated shares or said uncertificated shares are issued.

C-12

Section 7.5. Lost, Destroyed or Wrongfully Taken Certificates.

(a) If an owner of a certificate representing shares claims that such certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form if the owner: (i) requests such a new certificate before the Corporation has notice that the certificate representing such shares has been acquired by a protected purchaser; (ii) if requested by the Corporation, delivers to the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, wrongful taking or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares; and (iii) satisfies other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation.

(b) If a certificate representing shares has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, and the owner fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable time after the owner has notice of such loss, apparent destruction or wrongful taking and the Corporation registers a transfer of such shares before receiving notification, the owner shall be precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering such transfer or a claim to a new certificate representing such shares or such shares in uncertificated form.

Section 7.6. Transfer of Stock.

(a) If a certificate representing shares of the Corporation is presented to the Corporation with an endorsement requesting the registration of transfer of such shares or an instruction is presented to the Corporation requesting the registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall register the transfer as requested if:

(i) in the case of certificated shares, the certificate representing such shares has been surrendered;

(ii) (A) with respect to certificated shares, the endorsement is made by the person specified by the certificate as entitled to such shares; (B) with respect to uncertificated shares, an instruction is made by the registered owner of such uncertificated shares; or (C) with respect to certificated shares or uncertificated shares, the endorsement or instruction is made by any other appropriate person or by an agent who has actual authority to act on behalf of the appropriate person;

(iii) the Corporation has received a guarantee of signature of the person signing such endorsement or instruction or such other reasonable assurance that the endorsement or instruction is genuine and authorized as the Corporation may request;

(iv) the transfer does not violate any restriction on transfer imposed by the Corporation that is enforceable in accordance with Section 7.8(a); and

(v) such other conditions for such transfer as shall be provided for under applicable law have been satisfied.

(b) Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security and not absolutely, the Corporation shall so record such fact in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate for such shares is presented to the Corporation for transfer or, if such shares are uncertificated, when the instruction for registration of transfer thereof is presented to the Corporation, both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so.

Section 7.7. Registered Stockholders. Before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of the Corporation or of an instruction requesting registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to inspect for any proper purpose the stock ledger and the other books and records of the Corporation, vote such shares, receive dividends or notifications with respect to such shares and otherwise exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of such shares, except that a person who is the beneficial owner of such shares (if held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person) may, upon providing documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of such shares and satisfying such other conditions as are provided under applicable law, may also so inspect the books and records of the Corporation.

C-13

Section 7.8. Effect of the Corporation’s Restriction on Transfer.

(a) A written restriction on the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, if permitted by the DGCL and noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares or, in the case of uncertificated shares, contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares, may be enforced against the holder of such shares or any successor or transferee of the holder including an executor, administrator, trustee, guardian or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of the holder.

(b) A restriction imposed by the Corporation on the transfer or the registration of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, even if otherwise lawful, is ineffective against a person without actual knowledge of such restriction unless: (i) the shares are certificated and such restriction is noted conspicuously on the certificate; or (ii) the shares are uncertificated and such restriction was contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares.

Section 7.9. Regulations. The Board shall have power and authority to make such additional rules and regulations, subject to any applicable requirement of law, as the Board may deem necessary and appropriate with respect to the issue, transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock or certificates representing shares. The Board may appoint one or more transfer agents or registrars and may require for the validity thereof that certificates representing shares bear the signature of any transfer agent or registrar so appointed.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1. Right to Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Section 8.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1, an Indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee

C-14

benefit plan) shall be made only upon the Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise.

Section 8.3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 8.4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right, which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By Laws, an agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Section 8.5. Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Section 8.6. Indemnification of Other Persons. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnitees under this Article VIII.

Section 8.7. Amendments. Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these By Laws inconsistent with this Article VIII, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to

C-15

the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Indemnitees on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision; provided however, that amendments or repeals of this Article VIII shall require the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding at least 66.7% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 8.8. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan; (b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; (c) references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service that imposes duties on, or involves services by, a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and (d) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation” for purposes of Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 8.9. Contract Rights. The rights provided to Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 8.10. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Place of Meetings. If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these By Laws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

Section 9.2. Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date

C-16

for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 9.3. Means of Giving Notice.

(a) Notice to Directors. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

(b) Notice to Stockholders. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given (i) in writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (C) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice, and (D) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

C-17

(c) Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication, electronic mail, telegram and cablegram.

(d) Notice to Stockholders Sharing Same Address. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

(e) Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

(f) Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws, to any stockholder to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

Section 9.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By Laws, a written waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

C-18

Section 9.5. Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication Equipment.

(a) Stockholder Meetings. If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:

(i) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(ii) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and, if entitled to vote, to vote on matters submitted to the applicable stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

(b) Board Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

Section 9.6. Dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay, dividends (payable in cash, property or shares of the Corporation’s capital stock) on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock, subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 9.7. Reserves. The Board may set apart out of the funds of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

Section 9.8. Contracts and Negotiable Instruments. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By Laws, any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument may be executed and delivered in the name and on behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers or other employee or employees of the Corporation as the Board may from time to time authorize. Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, the Chairman of the Board Chief Executive Officer, President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may delegate powers to execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to other officers or employees of the Corporation under such person’s supervision and authority, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.

Section 9.9. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board.

Section 9.10. Seal. The Board may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in such form as the Board determines. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed, affixed or otherwise reproduced.

C-19

Section 9.11. Books and Records. The books and records of the Corporation may be kept within or outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Board.

Section 9.12. Resignation. Any director, committee member or officer may resign by giving notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary. The resignation shall take effect at the time it is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 9.13. Surety Bonds. Such officers, employees and agents of the Corporation (if any) as the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may direct, from time to time, shall be bonded for the faithful performance of their duties and for the restoration to the Corporation, in case of their death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in their possession or under their control belonging to the Corporation, in such amounts and by such surety companies as the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may determine. The premiums on such bonds shall be paid by the Corporation and the bonds so furnished shall be in the custody of the Secretary.

Section 9.14. Securities of Other Corporations. Powers of attorney, proxies, waivers of notice of meeting, consents in writing and other instruments relating to securities owned by the Corporation may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, any Vice President or any officers authorized by the Board. Any such officer, may, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders of any corporation in which the Corporation may own securities, or to consent in writing, in the name of the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such corporation, and at any such meeting or with respect to any such consent shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and power incident to the ownership of such securities and which, as the owner thereof, the Corporation might have exercised and possessed. The Board may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.

Section 9.15. Amendments. The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By Laws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By Laws. The By Laws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.7) of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the By Laws.

1. Resale Shelf Registration Rights.

(a) Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Pubco shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, no later than thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Filing Deadline”), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (“Form S-3”) or, if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco, on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders. Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the Filing Deadline or (ii) ten (10) Business Days after the Commission notifies Pubco that it will not review the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, if applicable (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by no more than ninety (90) days after the Filing Deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. Once effective, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and shall cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to lock-up restrictions provided in this Agreement), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders.

(b) Notification and Distribution of Materials. Pubco shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 1(a) above, Pubco shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1(a) is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter Pubco becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, Pubco shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and shall file a shelf registration on Form S-1 or other appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and use its reasonable best efforts to have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and shall cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be supplemented and

D-2

amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time Pubco once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, Pubco shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.

(d) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 1, in the event the Commission informs Pubco that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, Pubco agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and shall file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, Pubco shall advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that Pubco used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event Pubco amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, Pubco shall file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to Pubco or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

(e) Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.

2. Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time, the holders of Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement (“Long-Form Registrations”) or, if available, on Form S-3 (including a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration statement, including an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”), if available to Pubco (“Short-Form Registrations”) in accordance with Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) below (such holders being referred to herein as the “Initiating Holders” and all registrations requested by the Initiating Holders being referred to herein as “Demand Registrations”). Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such request, Pubco shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all such Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days

D-3

after the receipt of Pubco’s notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Long-Form Registrations. (i) The Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities may request two (2) Long-Form Registrations, (ii) GPM HP SCF Investor, LLC, GPM Owner LLC, and the Ares Entities holding in the aggregate at least two-thirds of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders may request one (1) Long-Form Registration, and (iii) Arie Kotler (including Holders affiliated with Mr. Kotler) and Morris Willner (including Holders affiliated with Mr. Willner) holding in the aggregate at least two-thirds of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders may request one (1) Long-Form Registration, in each case of the foregoing subclauses (i) – (iii), in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Long-Form Registration has become effective; provided that, Pubco shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Long-Form Registration unless the aggregate market price of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Long-Form Registration exceeds $25,000,000 at the time of request. A registration shall not count as the sole permitted Long-Form Registration until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided that in any event Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long-Form Registration whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted Long-Form Registrations hereunder.

(c) Short-Form Registrations. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to Section 2(b), (i) (A) each of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (other than the Holders holding the Founder Shares) and (B) the Holders holding a majority of the Founder Shares shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations, and (ii) each of (A) GPM HP SCF Investor, LLC, (B) Arie Kotler (including Holders affiliated with Mr. Kotler), (C) Morris Willner (including Holders affiliated with Mr. Willner), and (D) GPM Owner LLC, shall be entitled to one (1) Short-Form Registration per year, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Short-Form Registration has become effective; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Short-Form Registration: (i) if the holders of Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Short-Form Registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of less than $5,000,000, or (ii) if Pubco has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) Short-Form Registrations for the holders of Registrable Securities requesting a Short-Form Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c). Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever Pubco is permitted to use any applicable short form registration and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. For so long as Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the offer and sale of Registrable Securities. If Pubco is qualified to and, pursuant to the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Initiating Holder(s), as applicable, has filed with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”), then Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, if Pubco is a WKSI at the time of any such request, to cause such Shelf Registration to be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, and once effective, Pubco shall cause such Shelf Registration to remain effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration, if necessary) for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities included in such registration are able to be sold within a 90-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If for any reason Pubco ceases to be a WKSI or becomes ineligible to utilize Form S-3, Pubco shall prepare and file with the

D-4

Commission a registration statement or registration statements on such form that is available for the sale of Registrable Securities.

(d) Shelf Takedowns. At any time when the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration for the sale or distribution by holders of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, including by way of an underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan (each, a “Resale Shelf Registration”) is effective and its use has not been otherwise suspended by Pubco in accordance with the terms of Section 2(f) below, upon a written demand (a “Takedown Demand”) by any Holder that is, in either case, a Shelf Participant holding Registrable Securities at such time (the “Initiating Holder”), Pubco will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of such Resale Shelf Registration (a “takedown offering”) and Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith; provided that Pubco will provide in connection with any marketed underwritten takedown offering, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant. In connection with any marketed underwritten takedown offering, if any Shelf Participants entitled to receive a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence request inclusion of their Registrable Securities (by notice to Pubco, which notice must be received by Pubco no later than three (3) Business Days following the date notice is given to such participant), the Initiating Holder and the other Shelf Participants that request inclusion of their Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell their Registrable Securities in such offering. Each holder of Registrable Securities that is a Shelf Participant agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of a Takedown Demand and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Pubco shall not include in any Demand Registration that is an underwritten offering any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. If a Demand Registration or a takedown offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by Initiating Holders, Pubco shall include in such offering prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities the maximum number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (if necessary, allocated pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder).

(f) Restrictions on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering (including a takedown offering) hereunder will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lock-up arrangements, and any such demand must be deferred until such lock-up arrangements no longer apply.

(i) Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 30 days prior to Pubco’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of an underwritten public offering of Pubco’s securities and for such a period of time after such a filing as the managing underwriters request, provided that such period shall not exceed 90 days from the effective date of any such underwritten public offering. Pubco may postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of any Resale Shelf Registration (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Securities included therein) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if the board of directors of Pubco reasonably determines in good faith that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by Pubco or any subsidiary thereof to engage in any

D-5

material acquisition or disposition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction or would require Pubco to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to Pubco and its subsidiaries; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration or Takedown Demand shall be entitled to withdraw such request. Pubco may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or takedown offering pursuant to this Section 2(f)(i) only twice in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of any Demand Registration or takedown offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(g) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(g). Pubco may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 30 days with the consent of the Applicable Approving Party; provided further that under no circumstances shall the aggregate Suspension Periods during any consecutive twelve-month period exceed 90 days.

(ii) In the case of an event that causes Pubco to suspend the use of any Resale Shelf Registration as set forth in Section 2(f)(i) or pursuant to Section 5(g) (a “Suspension Event”), Pubco shall give a notice to the holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from Pubco and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of Pubco until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The holders of Registrable Securities may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from Pubco, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by Pubco to the holders of Registrable Securities and to such holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event (it being understood that, in the case of a Suspension Event pursuant to Section 2(f)(i), such Suspension Event shall automatically end, with or without delivery of an End of Suspension Notice, if the Suspension Period thereof pursuant to such Section 2(f)(i) shall have expired).

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if Pubco shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2(f), Pubco agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Resale Shelf Registration shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Common Stock covered by such Resale Shelf Registration are no longer Registrable Securities.

(g) Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Demand Registration, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the written consent of Pubco, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any takedown offering is an underwritten offering, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such takedown offering. In each case, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to approve the underwriting arrangements with such investment banker(s) and manager(s) on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through underwriting shall (together with Pubco) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

D-6

(h) Other Registration Rights. Pubco represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable Securities that the registration rights granted in this Agreement do not conflict with any other registration rights granted by Pubco. Except as provided in this Agreement, Pubco shall not grant to any Persons the right to request Pubco to register any equity securities of Pubco, or any securities, options or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

(i) Revocation of Demand Notice or Takedown Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Takedown Demand, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Initiating Holder(s), as applicable, that requested such Demand Registration or takedown offering may revoke such request for a Demand Registration or takedown offering on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such Demand Registration or takedown offering without liability to such holders of Registrable Securities, in each case by providing written notice to Pubco.

3. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever Pubco proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) pursuant to a Demand Registration, (iii) pursuant to a Takedown Demand, (iv) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Commission or any successor forms, (v) a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans, (vi) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities, or (vii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), Pubco shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Sections 3(c) and 3(d) hereof, shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which Pubco has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 business days after the delivery of Pubco’s notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective.

(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by Pubco in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective.

(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of Pubco, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities Pubco proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.

(d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Pubco’s securities other than holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters advise Pubco in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering,

D-7

Pubco shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.

(e) Other Registrations. If Pubco has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then Pubco shall not be required to file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form) at the request of any holder or holders of such securities until a period of at least 90 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.

(f) Right to Terminate Registration. Pubco shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by Pubco in accordance with Section 7.

4. Agreements of Holders.

(a) Reserved.

(b) The holders of Registrable Securities shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information as may reasonably be requested by Pubco, or the managing underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3 and in connection with Pubco’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

5. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration to be effected pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated a takedown offering, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto Pubco shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and file with the Commission a registration statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses as may be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that at least five (5) Business Days before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, Pubco shall furnish to counsel selected by the Applicable Approving Party copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel);

(b) notify each holder of Registrable Securities of (A) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (B) the receipt by Pubco or its counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (C) the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder;

D-8

(c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but not in any event before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten Public Offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each Free-Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

(e) during any period in which a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the Commission, including pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Act;

(f) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the lead underwriter or the Applicable Approving Party reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that Pubco shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(f), (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction);

(g) promptly notify in writing each seller of such Registrable Securities (i) after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a registration statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (ii) after receipt thereof, of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, Pubco promptly shall prepare, file with the Commission and furnish to each such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(h) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA;

(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(j) enter into and perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Applicable Approving Party or the underwriters, if any, reasonably

D-9

request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares and preparing for and participating in such number of “road shows”, investor presentations and marketing events as the underwriters managing such offering may reasonably request);

(k) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of Pubco as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause Pubco’s officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

(l) take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration (including any Shelf Registration) or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(m) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;

(n) permit any holder of Registrable Securities who, in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel), could reasonably be expected to be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of Pubco to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material furnished to Pubco in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;

(o) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(p) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(q) cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such holders may request;

(r) cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

(s) if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from Pubco’s independent public accountants and addressed to the underwriters, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the underwriters in such registration reasonably request;

D-10

(t) provide a legal opinion of Pubco’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature, which opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters;

(u) if Pubco files an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective;

(v) if Pubco does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and

(w) subject to the terms of Section 2(c) and Section 2(d), if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when Pubco is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status Pubco determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the registration statement on Form S-3 and keep such registration statement effective (including by filing a new Resale Shelf Registration or Shelf Registration, if necessary) during the period throughout which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

6. Termination of Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any Holder to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall terminate on such date that such Holder may sell all of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise; provided, however, that with respect to any Holder whose rights have terminated pursuant to this Section 6, if following such a termination, such Holder loses the ability to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise due to a change in interpretive guidance by the Commission, then such Holder’s right to include Registrable Securities in any Demand Registration or any Piggyback Registration shall be reinstated until such time as the Holder is once again able to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any restrictions as to volume or the manner of sale or otherwise; provided, further, that if after such termination, a Holder is issued Deferred Shares in accordance with the terms of the BCA, such Deferred Shares shall be treated as Registrable Securities under this Agreement and such Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights under this Agreement with respect to such Deferred Shares.

7. Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incident to Pubco’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, stock exchange rules and filings, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Pubco and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by Pubco (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by Pubco as provided in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco also shall pay all of its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed.

D-11

(b) Pubco shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel and one local counsel (if necessary) chosen by the Applicable Approving Party for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such holders in connection with any underwritten Demand Registration, takedown offering or Piggyback Registration.

(c) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by Pubco, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such holder’s securities so included, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.

8. Indemnification.

(a) Pubco agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by Pubco of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to Pubco and relating to action or inaction required of Pubco in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and (ii) pay to each Holder and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Pubco or any managing underwriter by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Pubco (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Pubco be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it solely arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the registration statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, Pubco shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information as Pubco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pubco, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

D-12

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 8(a) or 8(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them 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 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 8(c), defending any such action or claim. 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. The sellers’ obligations in this Section 8(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.

(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

9. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any

D-13

underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, stock powers, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to Pubco or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s title to the securities, such Person’s authority to sell such securities and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to Pubco or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 8. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 9, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, Pubco and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 9.

10. Other Agreements; Certain Limitations on Registration Rights.

(a) Pubco shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and shall take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Persons to sell securities pursuant to (a) Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission or (b) a registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar registration form hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon request, Pubco shall deliver to the Holders a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Pubco shall at all times use its reasonable best efforts to cause the securities so registered to continue to be listed on one or more of the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange American and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Pubco shall use its best efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, which efforts shall include timely notice to its transfer agent to expedite such transfers of Registrable Securities and delivery of any opinions requested by the transfer agent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cantor and Stifel may not exercise their rights under Section 3 hereunder after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement relating to Haymaker’s initial public offering.

11. Lock-Up Provisions.

D-14

any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply: (a) to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder by a bona fide gift or charitable contribution; (b) to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder by will or intestate succession upon the death of such Holder; (c) to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder to any Permitted Transferee; (d) to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; (e) to the pledge of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder to a nationally recognized financial institution to secure a bona fide debt financing and any foreclosure by such financial institution or transfer to such financial institution in lieu of foreclosure; (f) to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder to Pubco in connection with the repurchase by Pubco from the undersigned of any Restricted Securities pursuant to a repurchase right arising upon the termination of the undersigned’s employment or service with Pubco; provided, that such repurchase right is pursuant to contractual agreements with Pubco; (g) to the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Stock; provided, that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period; or (h) with respect to voting rights pursuant to the execution and delivery of a support, voting or similar agreement in connection with a Change in Control Transaction that is approved by Pubco’s board of directors; provided, however, that in any of cases (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to Pubco an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Section 11 applicable to such Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Section 11; and provided further, that in any of the of cases (a), (b) or (c) such transfer or distribution shall not involve a disposition for value. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the provisions of this Section 11(a) shall not apply to shares of Common Stock held by a Holder resulting from purchases in open market transactions prior to and after the date of this Agreement, and (ii) with respect to the GPM Minority Investors (as defined in the BCA) and their Permitted Transferees, the provisions of this Section 11(a) shall only apply to Restricted Securities issued to such GPM Minority Investor as consideration for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the GPM EPA (as defined in the BCA).

(b) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Pubco shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 11(b), Pubco may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of a Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2020, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of Pubco with respect to the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities that are entitled to vote. Pubco agrees to (i) instruct its transfer agent to remove the legends in Section 11(c) upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and (ii) cause its legal counsel, at Pubco’s expense, to

D-15

deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i).

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 13(f) shall be binding upon each Holder and Pubco.

Re: Voting Support and Waiver

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”), entered into on the date hereof, by and among Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“HYAC”), ARKO Corp. (“Parentco”), ARKO Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of the State of Israel (the “Company”), Punch US Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Punch Sub Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of the State of Israel, relating to the proposed business combination between the Company and HYAC. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms are used herein as defined in the BCA.

In order to induce the Company and HYAC to enter into the BCA and to proceed with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Transactions”), and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Haymaker Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”) hereby agrees as follows:

1. The Sponsor hereby agrees (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such agreement as Company or HYAC may reasonably request in connection therewith), at any meeting of the shareholders of HYAC, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of the HYAC, to vote all of the Sponsor’s shares of Haymaker Common Stock (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the BCA, the Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Transaction Documents, (b) in favor of any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and considered and voted upon by the shareholders of HYAC, and (c) against any action, agreement or transaction (other than the BCA or the transactions contemplated thereby) or proposal that would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent or materially delay the transactions contemplated by the BCA or any Transaction Document or (ii) result in the failure of the transactions contemplated by the BCA to be consummated. The Sponsor acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the BCA.

2. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of the BCA in accordance with its terms, the Sponsor hereby agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company (other than the transfer to any of Sponsor’s direct or indirect equityholders; provided that such transferee agrees, with respect to the shares of Haymaker Common Stock transferred to it, to be bound by the Sponsor’s voting obligation pursuant to Section 1 as if it were a party hereto), (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), permit the creation of any lien, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of its shares of Haymaker Common Stock or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any of its shares of Haymaker Common Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Letter Agreement, (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale,

E-1

assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any of its shares of Haymaker Common Stock, or (d) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Sponsor from performing its obligations hereunder.

3. The Sponsor agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, including through any Representative, take any action in violation of Section 6.06(b) of the BCA.

4. The Sponsor hereby waives (for itself, for its successors, heirs and assigns and for all holders of Haymaker Class B Common Stock), the provisions of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of HYAC, dated June 6, 2019, to have the shares of Haymaker Class B Common Stock convert to shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock at a ratio of greater than one-for-one. The waiver specified in this paragraph 4 shall be applicable only in connection with the Transactions (and any issuances of shares of Haymaker Class A Common Stock, or equity linked securities issued by HYAC, in connection with the Transactions) and shall be void and of no force and effect if the BCA shall be terminated for any reason.

5. The Sponsor hereby agrees that it shall not convert any Sponsor loans to HYAC (“Working Capital Loans”) into Working Capital Warrants (as defined in the Haymaker Warrant Instrument). Instead, the Sponsor hereby agrees that any outstanding Working Capital Loans shall be repaid in cash.

6. Each of the Sponsor, Andrew R. Heyer, and Steven J. Heyer (each, a “Specified Holder”) hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to vote, or cause to be voted, either directly or through any trust, limited liability company or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the direct or indirect benefit of such Specified Holder or the immediate family of such Specified Holder, all shares of Parentco Common Stock owned beneficially or of record by such Specified Holder, or over which such Specified Holder maintains or has voting control, directly or indirectly, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Parentco (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if the stockholders of Parentco are requested to act through the execution of written consents), in favor of Arie Kotler in the event that he is a nominee for election to the board of directors of Parentco from the Closing until the seventh anniversary of the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each of Andrew R. Heyer and Steven J. Heyer, such Specified Holder’s obligations under this Section 6 (if they have not already terminated in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 6) shall terminate on the earlier of (a) such Specified Holder’s death or (b) first anniversary of the date that such Specified Holder ceases to be a member of the board of directors of Parentco (the “Parentco Board”); provided that, notwithstanding clause (b) of the preceding sentence, if the Extension Conditions are satisfied, Arie Kotler may, by written notice to such Specified Holder after such Specified Holder ceases to be a member of the Parentco Board but prior to the first anniversary of the date that such Specified Holder ceases to be a member of the Parentco Board, extend the obligations of such Specified Holder under this Section 6 until the seventh anniversary of the Closing; provided that any such extension shall terminate if the Extension Conditions cease to be satisfied. “Extension Conditions” means that the Company has an effective shelf registration statement available for use pursuant to which such Specified Holder is permitted to sell his shares of Parentco Common Stock.

7. The Sponsor hereby agrees that, immediately following the First Effective Time, the Sponsor shall automatically be deemed to irrevocably transfer to Parentco, surrender and forfeit for no consideration 1,000,000 shares of Parentco Common Stock and 2,000,000 Parentco Warrants (such shares of Parentco Common Stock and Parentco Warrants, collectively, the “Forfeited Securities”) and that from and after such time such Parentco Common Stock and Parentco Warrants shall be deemed to be cancelled and no longer outstanding. The Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the First Merger, at the First Effective Time, the Haymaker Class B Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, (x) 6,000,000 shares of Parentco Common Stock (a portion of which shall be transferred and forfeited in accordance with this Agreement) and (y) 4,000,000 Deferred Shares. The Sponsor further acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of the Founder Deferred Shares (including the restrictions on transfer of any such Deferred Shares

E-2

provided therein) are governed by Section 2.08 of the Business Combination Agreement and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees to be bound by such terms and conditions.

8. This Letter Agreement and the obligations of the Sponsor and each other Specified Holder under this Letter Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the BCA in accordance with its terms. Upon termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Letter Agreement; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Letter Agreement occurring prior to termination.

9. This Letter Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Letter Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of Law or otherwise).

10. This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Letter Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Letter Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any Transaction Document, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Letter Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

11. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Letter Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

12. Without further consideration, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Letter Agreement.

13. This Letter Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

ARTICLE 2

CLOSING

Section 2.1 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase and sale of all Equity Securities (the “Closing”, and the date on which the Closing happens, the “Closing Date”) shall take place at the offices of Greenberg Traurig, LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166 on the Closing Date (as defined in the BCA). All transactions to be effectuated at the Closing, including but not limited to the transactions contemplated by the BCA, shall be deemed to have taken place simultaneously, and no such transaction shall be deemed to have been completed until all transactions are completed and all documents delivered for each transaction; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the contribution pursuant to Section 1.5 shall occur immediately following the Closing.

Section 2.2 Transactions to be Effected at Closing. At Closing, the following shall occur:

(a) Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to issue the shares of Parentco Common Stock due to each Seller pursuant to Section 1.2;

(d) each Seller shall deliver to Buyer either (i) an IRS Form W-9 or (ii) an affidavit and certification of non-foreign status complying with the requirements of Section 1446(f) of the Code and Treasury Regulation section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iv) in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer;

F-2

(e) conditioned upon DK Blocker receiving an affidavit and certification from the Company that equity interests in the Company are not U.S. real property interests, complying with the requirements of Sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h) of the Code (a “US Real Property Certificate”), DK Blocker shall deliver to Buyer a US Real Property Certificate that the shares of capital stock in DK Blocker are not U.S. real property interests, in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer (and within the time frames required by applicable Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2) DK Blocker shall mail to the Internal Revenue Service the information relating thereto required by such Treasury Regulation);

(i) Ares shall deliver to Buyer all the Existing Ares Warrants, which Buyer shall deliver to the Company for cancellation;

(j) Buyer shall issue to Ares the New Ares Warrants; and

(k) the Company shall issue to Haymaker one or more certificates representing the Membership Interests acquired by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and contributed to Haymaker pursuant to Section 1.5.

Section 2.3 Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration to be paid to each Seller pursuant to this Agreement all U.S. federal income Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under applicable Tax law with respect to making any such payment to such Seller (it being agreed that Buyer shall be permitted to satisfy any Tax withholding requirement with respect to the consideration hereunder by selling or otherwise disposing of a sufficient number of such shares out of the consideration due to such Seller hereunder which will satisfy any deduction or withholding requirements with respect to the consideration hereunder, which may be required under any applicable Law). Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Seller with reasonable advance notice of it is intention to make such deduction or withholding (except that such notice provisions shall not apply in the event that withholding results from the failure of a Seller or DK Blocker to deliver the forms required to be delivered in Section 2.2(d) or Section 2.2(e)) and shall cooperate in good faith with each applicable Seller to accept properly executed documentation that establishes such Seller’s right to a reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate governmental authority, all such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been delivered to the applicable Seller in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE 3

ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS; JOINDER; CERTAIN ARES PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Assignment of Rights and Obligations. Each Seller assigns to Buyer, effective upon the Closing, all of such Seller’s rights, title and interest (a) in its Equity Securities and (b) under the LLC Agreement and any other Organizational Documents of the Company or DK Blocker, to the extent that such rights pertain to its Equity Securities (including any Capital Contributions and Capital Account associated therewith (as such terms are defined in the LLC Agreement)).

F-3

Section 3.2 Joinder. Buyer hereby agrees, effective upon the Closing, to be bound by, and to assume all obligations under, the LLC Agreement, to the extent such obligations pertain to any Membership Interests, in the same manner as if Buyer were an original signatory to the LLC Agreement. If Buyer is not already a party to the LLC Agreement, its signature page to this Agreement shall constitute a counterpart signature page to the LLC Agreement. Buyer and Sellers hereby authorize the Company to update the Register to reflect the transfer of the Equity Securities.

Section 3.3 Certain Ares Provisions.

(a) Ares Put Right. Within the 30 day period (the “Election Period”) following February 28, 2023 (the “Trigger Date”), Ares (as defined in the LLC Agreement) shall be entitled to require Buyer to purchase the shares of Parentco Common Stock received by Ares pursuant to this Agreement (the “Ares Shares”) at the Put Price (as defined below) (such right, the “Ares Right”). The Ares Right may be exercised by delivering irrevocable written notice to Buyer during the Election Period. Upon receipt of such notice, Buyer shall be entitled, at its option (by written notice from the Buyer within 5 business days following receipt of Ares’ exercise notice), to either purchase the Ares Shares for cash, or in lieu of such purchase, Buyer may issue additional shares of Parentco Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) to Ares in an amount sufficient so that the value of the Ares Shares and the Additional Shares (both with a value based on the Buyer VWAP), and all dividends, distributions, or other payments received by Ares in respect of the Ares Shares or Ares’ Member Units (the “Dividend Payments”), collectively equal $27,294,053. The Ares Right will automatically expire upon the earliest of (i) if during the period between the Closing Date and the Trigger Date (the “Holding Period”), the shares of Parentco Common Stock trade at a sale price of at least 105% of the Put Price on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (such 30 trading day period, the “Sale Window”); provided that (a) during such 20 trading days the average number of shares of Parentco Common Stock traded per trading day is at least 1.25 million and (b) the Ares Shares are freely tradable during the entirety of the Sale Window, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall mean that the Ares Shares are free from any contractual, legal or other restrictions on selling such shares during each day of the Sale Window, (ii) if Ares (or any direct or indirect Ares Permitted Transferee) sells or otherwise Transfers any of the Ares Shares during the Holding Period to a party that is not an Ares Permitted Transferee, or (iii) Ares does not provide the notice of exercise of the Ares Right within the Election Period. “Ares Permitted Transferee” means a Person that is (and remains, for so long as such Person holds any Ares Shares) an Affiliate of Ares or a fund, investment vehicle or other entity that is (and remains, for so long as such Person holds any Ares Shares) controlled, managed or advised by Ares or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Certain Definitions.

(i) “Buyer Securities” means: (A) Parentco Common Stock; (B) Parentco preferred stock; and (C) warrants, rights or options to acquire capital described in clauses (A) or (B) and “Buyer Security” shall have a corresponding meaning.

(ii) “Buyer VWAP” means the volume weighted average price of Parentco Common Stock for a 30 trading day period ending on the Trigger Date (or, if the Trigger Date is not a trading day, ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Trigger Date), on Nasdaq or other stock exchange or, if not then listed, Buyer’s principal trading market, in any such case, as reported by Bloomberg or, if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar.

(iii) “Put Price” means a price per share equal to $12.935 and such price shall be reduced each time Ares receives a Dividend Payment by the amount that is equal to the amount of the Dividend Payment per share. The Put Price shall be adjusted proportionately to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar adjustment in respect of the Parentco Common Stock during the Holding Period.

(iv) “Transfer” means the transfer, directly or indirectly and including by operation of law, of ownership of Buyer Securities by any means, including, without limitation: (A) the acquisition or issuance of any option, warrant, convertible security, pledge or other security interest or similar right to acquire

F-4

Buyer Securities or the exercise of such an existing right that results in a transfer of Buyer Securities; (B) the entering into of any swap, hedge or other arrangement that results in the transfer of any of the economic benefits of ownership of Buyer Securities from the owner of such Buyer Securities; or (C) any other direct or indirect transfer of Buyer Securities.

(c) Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Ares’ rights pursuant to Article 18 of the LLC Agreement shall terminate upon the Closing.

(d) Ares Notification Obligation. Ares shall promptly, and in any event within 5 business days, provide Buyer with written notice of any sale or other Transfer of Ares Shares during the Holding Period.

(i) With respect to Membership Interests other than Membership Interests previously held by GPM Member, after the Closing, the Company shall pay Tax Distributions under Section 5.7 of the LLC Agreement to the Sellers of such Membership Interests with respect to their respective unpaid Tax Liability Amounts under the LLC Agreement as determined through the Closing Date.

(ii) (A) Subject to subclause (B) below, with respect to Membership Interests previously held by GPM Member, after the Closing, the Company shall pay Tax Distributions under Section 5.7 of the LLC Agreement to DK Blocker with respect to GPM Member’s unpaid Tax Liability Amount under the LLC Agreement as determined through the Closing Date. (B) Notwithstanding subclause (A) above, the amount of the Tax Distribution paid to DK Blocker pursuant to subclause (A) above shall not exceed DK Blocker’s share of GPM Member’s unpaid Tax Liability Amount, taking into account the provisions of GPM Member’s governing documents and as determined by DK Blocker. (C) After the Closing the Company shall pay to Davidson Kempner Long-Term Distressed Opportunities Fund II LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“DKLT”) as a Tax Distribution the excess, if any, of the amount determined under subclause (A) above, over the amount determined under subclause (B) above. Tax Distributions under this paragraph (ii) shall be treated as if they were made by the Company to GPM Member, and then by GPM Member to DK Blocker and DKLT for their respective amounts.

(iii) Estimates of Tax Distributions under this Section 6.5(i) as determined by the Company shall be paid no later than the dates provided for in the LLC Agreement and thereafter no later than April 15, 2021 (or if the due date for making final tax payments for individuals with respect to calendar year 2020 is postponed by a change in applicable law, such later date as may apply pursuant to such change). Final Tax Distributions under this Section 6.5(i) shall be determined and paid by the Company no later than the extended due date of the Company’s federal partnership income Tax return for 2020. If the final amount of Tax Distributions payable to a payee hereunder as determined by the Company is greater than the estimated amounts previously paid to the payee hereunder, then the Company shall pay the difference to the payee. If the final amount of Tax Distributions payable to a payee hereunder as determined by the Company is less than the estimated amounts previously paid to the payee hereunder, the payee shall promptly reimburse the difference to the Company upon the Company’s written demand for such payment.

(iv) Tax Distributions paid to DK Blocker under this Section 6.5(i) shall be retained by DK Blocker and shall not be distributed to DK Blocker Seller. The amount of Taxes owed by DK Blocker under Section 6.6(ii) shall be calculated net of the net Tax Distribution paid to DK Blocker under paragraphs (ii) and (iii) above.

Section 6.6 Indemnification by DK Blocker Seller. DK Blocker Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (which shall include Buyer, the Company, DK Blocker and their respective Affiliates after the Closing) and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, managers, shareholders, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by DK Blocker Seller or DK Blocker in Section 4.3 to be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing (except to the extent such representations or warranties speak to a different date, in which case as of such specified date) and (ii) any Taxes of DK Blocker (including Taxes of GPM Member for which DK Blocker is liable) that have been incurred or are accrued (or should have been accrued) but are unpaid as of the Closing Date, based on a closing of the books method at the end of the Closing Date including Taxes attributable to allocation of items of the Company, GPM Member and their direct and indirect subsidiaries for periods or portions of periods ending before or on the Closing Date (with allocations by the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries being determined pursuant to Section 6.5(d) above), and including costs and expenses

For purposes of this Section 6.6, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality or knowledge qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty (except for the knowledge qualifier in Section 4.3(h) as it relates to threatened Actions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification set forth in this Section 6.6 shall not include indemnification for corporate Taxes on the unrealized gain (whether accrued or unaccrued) in DK Blocker at the Closing.

Section 6.7 Support Obligations. Each Seller, by this Agreement, with respect to any equity securities held by such Seller or its Affiliates in Arko and/or Haymaker, to the extent applicable, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such agreement as Haymaker may reasonably request in connection therewith), if (and only if) each of the Approval Conditions shall have been met, to vote, and to cause its Affiliates to vote, in person, by proxy or voting card (and to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum), at any meeting of the shareholders of Arko and/or Haymaker (including any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of Arko and/or Haymaker, all of such Seller’s Equity Securities and any equity securities held by such Seller or its Affiliates in Arko and/or Haymaker, to the extent applicable, (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the BCA, the Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Transaction Documents, including the First Merger and the Second Merger, (b) in favor of any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and considered and voted upon by the shareholders of Arko and/or Haymaker, (c) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone to a later date any meeting of the shareholders of Arko and/or Haymaker at which any of the foregoing matters are submitted for consideration and vote of the shareholders of Arko or Haymaker (as the case may be) if there are not sufficient votes for approval of any such matters on the date on which the meeting is held, and (d) against any action, agreement or transaction (other than the BCA or the transactions contemplated thereby) or proposal that would reasonably be expected to (i) prevent, impede, delay, or adversely affect in any material respect the transactions contemplated by the BCA or any Transaction Document or (ii) result in the failure of the transactions contemplated by the BCA to be consummated. Each Seller acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the BCA.

(b) Each party hereto agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such party does not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the First Effective Time have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between such party on the one hand, and Haymaker on the other hand, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to in this Section 10.13(b) as the “Claims”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have, now or in the future (in each case, however, prior to the First Effective Time), and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit or limit such party from (i) pursuing a claim against Haymaker or the stockholders of Haymaker pursuant to Section 10.14 of this Agreement for specific performance or other equitable relief (but not any monetary relief) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) pursuing any claims that such party may have against Haymaker’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Fund.

Section 10.14 Remedies. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the Delaware Chancery Court or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.
