Global Partners

Declares First-Quarter 2026 Cash Distribution of $0.7650 on Common Units

Waltham, Mass., April 30, 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 $0.7650 per unit ($3.06 per unit on an annualized basis) on all of its outstanding

common units for the period from January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026. The distribution will be paid on May 15, 2026 to unitholders

of record as of the close of business on May 11, 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’s 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’s 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 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.
