CALGARY, AB, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Parkland Corporation ("Parkland", "we", or "our") (TSX: PKI) announced today that it has mailed a letter of transmittal and election form (the "Letter of Transmittal") to each registered holder of common shares of Parkland (the "Company Shares") in connection with the previously announced Sunoco Arrangement1. Parkland has also made a copy of the form of Letter of Transmittal available on www.parkland.ca and on its SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Letter of Transmittal outlines the necessary documentation and information required from each registered shareholder to obtain the consideration to which they are entitled under the Sunoco Arrangement and make an election with respect to the form of consideration they wish to receive, as further described below. Registered shareholders should refer to the instructions contained in the Letter of Transmittal to ensure they provide the required documentation and information to the depositary for the Sunoco Arrangement, Computershare Investor Services Inc., in order to validly deposit their Company Shares and elect the form of consideration they wish to receive.
The Letter of Transmittal is for use by registered shareholders only. Beneficial (non-registered) shareholders whose Company Shares are registered in the name of an intermediary such as a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, trustee, nominee or other intermediary should not use the Letter of Transmittal but rather should contact their intermediary for instructions and assistance in depositing their Company Shares and electing the form of consideration they wish to receive. Every intermediary has its own procedures with respect to the election and may have an earlier election deadline.
Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement1, in exchange for each Company Share, Parkland shareholders can elect to receive one of the following three options:
- C$19.80 in cash and 0.295 common units of SunocoCorp1 ("SunocoCorp Units"), which will be listed on the NYSE upon the closing of the Sunoco Arrangement (the "Combination Elected Consideration"),
- C$44.00 in cash (the "Cash Elected Consideration"), or
- Approximately 0.536 SunocoCorp Units (the "Unit Elected Consideration").
The Cash Elected Consideration and Unit Elected Consideration are subject to proration, maximum amounts and adjustments in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. If a registered shareholder does not deposit a properly completed Letter of Transmittal prior to the deadline to make an election in respect of the consideration receivable in exchange for their Company Shares pursuant to the Sunoco Arrangement (the "Election Deadline"), or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements under the Plan of Arrangement and Letter of Transmittal with respect to such election and deposit of their Company Shares, such registered shareholder will be deemed to have elected to receive the Combination Elected Consideration.
The Election Deadline has not been determined. Parkland will announce the Election Deadline prior to the closing date of the Sunoco Arrangement.
