The information contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 13, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPM”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of ARKO Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into (i) an Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, by and among GPM, certain of its subsidiaries as co-borrowers and M&T Bank (the “M&T Credit Agreement Amendment”) and (ii) a Third Amended and Restated Master Covenant Agreement, by and between GPM and M&T Bank (the “M&T Master Covenant Agreement Amendment” and together with the M&T Credit Agreement Amendment, the “M&T Amendments”).

The M&T Credit Agreement Amendment amended that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated November 21, 2023 by and among GPM, M&T Bank and the other parties thereto and increased the aggregate original principal amount of the real estate loans thereunder (the “Real Estate Loans”) from $49.5 million to $83.7 million. The additional $34.2 million principal amount of the Real Estate Loans matures in May 2030 and is payable in monthly installments based on a fifteen-year amortization schedule, with the balance of the loan payable at maturity, and bears interest at SOFR plus 2.25%. The Real Estate Loans are secured by the real property acquired with the proceeds of such loans and certain other properties.

In connection with entering into the M&T Credit Agreement Amendment, the existing Real Estate Loans now accrue interest at SOFR plus 2.25%, and the borrowings under the M&T line of credit for purchases of equipment now accrue interest, at GPM’s discretion, at either a fixed rate based on M&T Bank’s five-year cost of funds as of the applicable date of each tranche plus 2.25% or a floating rate at SOFR plus 2.25%.

The M&T Master Covenant Agreement Amendment amended and restated in its entirety the covenants contained in the Second Amended and Restated Master Covenant Agreement, dated June 24, 2021, as amended (the “Original Master Covenant Agreement”), by and between GPM and M&T Bank, predominantly to conform the terms of such agreement to the M&T Credit Agreement Amendment and effect other ministerial changes. The material terms of the Original Master Covenant Agreement, as set forth in the M&T Master Covenant Agreement Amendment, remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

The foregoing description of the M&T Amendments is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the M&T Credit Agreement Amendment and the M&T Master Covenant Agreement Amendment, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
