Global
Partners Declares Second-Quarter 2026 Cash Distribution of $0.7800 on Common Units
Newton,
Mass., July 29, 2026 – Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) (“Global Partners” or the “Partnership”) today
announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner, Global GP LLC, has declared a cash distribution of $0.7800 per unit ($3.12
per unit on an annualized basis) on all of its outstanding common units for the period from April 1, 2026 through June 30, 2026. The
distribution will be paid on August 14, 2026 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 10, 2026.
Non-U.S.
Withholding Information
Concurrent
with this announcement we are providing qualified notice to brokers and nominees that hold Global Partners LP units on behalf of non-U.S.
investors under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b) and (d) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446(f)-4(c)(2)(iii). Brokers and nominees
should treat one hundred percent (100%) of Global Partners LP’s distributions to non-U.S. investors as being attributable to income
that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. In addition, brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent
(100%) of the distributions as being in excess of cumulative net income for purposes of determining the amount to withhold. Accordingly,
Global Partners LP’s distributions to non-U.S. investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at a rate equal to the highest
applicable effective tax rate plus ten percent (10%). Nominees, and not Global Partners LP, are treated as the withholding agents responsible
for withholding on the distributions received by them on behalf of non-U.S. investors.

Forward-looking
Statements
Certain
statements and information in this press release may constitute “forward-looking statements.” The words “believe,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “foresee,” “should,”
“would,” “could” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are
generally not historical in nature, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking
statements are based on Global Partners’ current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect
on the Partnership. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no
assurance that future developments affecting the Partnership will be those that it anticipates. Forward-looking statements involve significant
risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Partnership’s control) including, without limitation, uncertainty around
the timing of an economic recovery in the United States which will impact the demand for the products we sell and the services that we
provide, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Partnership’s historical experience and
present expectations or projections. We believe these assumptions are reasonable given currently available information. Our assumptions
and future performance are subject to a wide range of business risks, uncertainties and factors, which are described in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
For
additional information regarding known material factors that could cause actual results to differ from the Partnership’s projected
results, please see Global Partners’ filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Global Partners undertakes
no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
