We own 73.6% of the economic interests and 93.3% of the combined voting power of APC. APC’s Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “APC” on February 12, 2026.

Description of Segments

Retail Segment

Our retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores, which includes convenience stores selling fuel products and merchandise to retail customers, from which we generate a significant portion of our revenue and a large proportion of our profitability. At our convenience stores, we own the merchandise and fuel inventory and employ personnel to manage the store.

As of June 30, 2026, we operated the stores under more than 25 regional store brands including 1-Stop, Admiral, Apple Market®, BreadBox, Corner Mart, Dixie Mart, ExpressStop, E-Z Mart®, fas mart®, fastmarket®, Flash Market, Handy Mart, Jetz, Jiffi Stop®, Jiffy Stop, Li’l Cricket, Market Express, Next Door Store®, Pride, Roadrunner Markets, Rose Mart, Rstore, Scotchman®, shore stop®, Speedy’s, SpeedyQ, Town Star, Uncle’s, Village Pantry® and Young’s.

We operate our retail stores centrally with consistent marketing, merchandising and assortment strategies across our brands, but we occasionally offer regional items based on consumer demand in select markets. We believe this approach increases operational efficiencies while preserving flexibility. Our marketing initiatives and merchandising and assortment strategies are centered around offering our customers an assortment of products with an attractive value proposition. Our retail offering includes a wide array of grab-n-go hot and cold prepared foods and dispensed beverages, take home packaged beverages and beer, candy, salty snacks, bakery

and packaged sweet snacks, general and seasonal merchandise, cigarettes, and other tobacco products such as moist tobacco, vape, nicotine pouches, and cigars. We have various foodservice offerings at approximately 925 stores, with options including hot and cold grab-n-go foods, such as bakery, Nathan’s® hot dogs and Tornado® roller grill items. We have approximately 140 stores with delis offering a more robust foodservice menu that includes fried chicken, pizza, breakfast sandwiches, chicken tenders, potato wedges and more. We supplement our foodservice offering with approximately 85 quick service major national brand restaurants such as Dunkin’ and Subway. Additionally, we offer a number of traditional convenience store services, including lottery, prepaid products, gift cards, money orders, ATMs, skill gaming, Bitcoin® ATMs and other ancillary product and service offerings. We sell fuel at 1,034 of our retail sites, and we had 285 electric vehicle (“EV”) chargers at 96 of our locations. We also generate revenue from car washes at approximately 65 of our locations.

Wholesale Segment

Our wholesale segment supplies fuel to gas stations operated by third-party dealers, sub-wholesalers, and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For cost plus arrangements, the dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk and spot purchasers, purchase fuel from us, and we earn a fixed mark-up above our cost. The sales price is determined according to the terms of the relevant agreement, which typically reflects our total fuel costs plus the cost of transportation, taxes and our fixed margin.

Table of Contents

Furthermore, we generally retain any prompt pay discounts and rebates from our fuel suppliers. For consignment arrangements, we retain ownership of the fuel inventory at the site until the time of sale to the ultimate customer by the dealer, we are responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and we share the gross profit generated from the sale of fuel by the dealer based on the terms of the relevant contract. In certain cases, gross profit is split based on a percentage and in others, we pay a fixed fee per gallon to the dealer and retain the remainder of the profit.

Fleet Fueling Segment

Our fleet fueling segment includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations), and commissions from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites.

GPMP Segment

Our GPMP segment primarily engages in inter-segment transactions of wholesale distribution of fuel to substantially all of our sites that sell fuel in the retail and wholesale segments, and beginning February 1, 2026, to locations in the fleet fueling segment. Our GPMP segment sells and supplies fuel at its cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin to such supplied sites and charges an inter-segment fixed fee primarily, prior to February 1, 2026, to sites in the fleet fueling segment that were not supplied by the GPMP segment. The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Transformation Plan Updates and Initiatives

Remodels and New-to-Industry (“NTI”) Stores

Our multi-year transformation plan (the “Transformation Plan”) includes targeted capital allocation toward strategic sub-segments of our retail stores, with the goal of increasing traffic and improving profitability. In June of 2025, we launched our new format fas craves flagship location showcasing our key strategic priority to offer food that is relevant, delicious, and affordable and do so within stores that are completely remodeled with modernized interior and exterior designs, with layouts intended to provide a strong focus on our food offerings. fas craves food elevates our assortment of hot and cold grab-and-go food and dispensed beverages.

Since the launch of our flagship location, we have completed several additional remodels and have approximately 25 additional remodels planned, all which feature the fas craves food and beverage elements. We also plan to expand components of fas craves food and beverage to certain non-remodel stores where space permits prior to remodeling. Complementing our retail remodeling initiative, in the first six months of 2026, we opened three new-to-industry (“NTI”) retail stores, and we plan to open three NTI Dunkin’ stores in 2026.

We are targeting opening 20 new fleet fueling locations during 2026, of which one opened in March 2026, two opened in July 2026, and 17 are in process. We anticipate that these new fleet fueling locations will have a positive impact on our results of operations given the attractive, durable cash flow profile of our fleet fueling business.

fas REWARDS Loyalty Program

As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately 2.6 million enrolled members in our fas REWARDS loyalty program, representing a year over year increase of approximately 9.9% from the end of the second quarter of 2025. Our fas REWARDS loyalty program is available in all of our retail stores and offers enrolled loyalty members the most value in our stores, in-app member only deals not available without the app, and the ability to earn points that can be redeemed for either fuel or merchandise savings. Other in-app features include the ability to convert earned points to fas BUCKS, which can be spent like cash on most merchandise categories in our stores, and, as part of our Fueling America’s Future promotion, stackable fuel cents off up to $2.50 off per gallon (up to 20 gallons) to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.

In the first quarter of 2026, we launched our updated fas REWARDS loyalty program app, which includes personalized features such as easy enrollment, an employee hub, store locators with individual member fuel pricing, Fueling America’s Future deals, value meals, age verified offers for tobacco and alcohol, and gaming.

Site Conversion Strategy (Dealerization)

Starting in the middle of 2024, as part of our Transformation Plan, we commenced leveraging our unique, multi-segment operating model to expand our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of retail stores within our retail segment to dealer locations within our wholesale segment. Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our retail and wholesale segments, as these sites have yielded, and we expect will continue to yield, greater profitability once converted. In such cases, we realize higher profit from ongoing fuel supply agreements and rental income than from continued operation of these stores in our retail

segment. These conversions also allow us to focus on and better prioritize future investments in our remaining retail stores. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we converted 21 retail stores to dealer locations for a total of 62 stores converted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and a total of 471 stores converted since the beginning of this initiative. We expect to continue to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout 2026 and into 2027. These conversions have resulted in approximately $2.7 million, $8.4 million and $15.6 million in incremental operating income before general and administrative expenses for the three month, six month, and 12-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

As we proceed with our Transformation Plan, we may incur associated non-recurring expenses, including personnel costs, divestiture costs, professional services fees, and losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges.

Pricing and Procurement Strategies

We continue to increase our focus on both our pricing and procurement strategies across our retail stores to support ongoing merchandise margin rate growth, including using customer centric data-driven decisions to expand our six core destination merchandise categories, which are packaged beverages, candy, salty snacks, packaged sweet snacks, alternative snacks and beer. Because our cor

Wholesale Segment

Our wholesale segment supplies fuel to gas stations operated by third-party dealers, sub-wholesalers, and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For cost plus arrangements, the dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk and spot purchasers, purchase fuel from us, and we earn a fixed mark-up above our cost. The sales price to the dealer is determined according to the terms of the relevant agreement, which typically reflects our total fuel costs plus the cost of transportation, taxes and our fixed margin. Furthermore, we generally retain any prompt pay discounts and rebates from our fuel suppliers. For consignment arrangements, we retain ownership of the fuel inventory at the site until the time of sale to the ultimate customer by the dealer, we are responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and we share the gross profit generated from the sale of fuel by the dealer based on the terms of the relevant contract. In certain cases, gross profit is split based on a percentage and in others, we pay a fixed fee per gallon to the dealer and retain the remainder of the profit.

Fleet Fueling Segment

Our fleet fueling segment includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations), and commissions from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites.

GPMP Segment

Our GPMP segment primarily engages in inter-segment transactions of wholesale distribution of fuel to substantially all of our sites that sell fuel in the retail and wholesale segments. Our GPMP segment sells and supplies fuel at its cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin to such supplied sites and charges an inter-segment fixed fee primarily to sites in the fleet fueling segment which are not supplied by the GPMP segment. The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2025 Transformation Plan Updates and Initiatives

Remodels and New-to-Industry (“NTI”) Stores

A part of our multi-year Transformation Plan includes additional targeted capital allocation toward strategic sub-segments of our retail stores, with the goal of increasing traffic and improving profitability. In June of 2025, we launched our new format fas craves flagship location showcasing our key strategic priority to offer food that is relevant, delicious, and affordable and do so within stores that are completely remodeled with modernized interior and exterior designs, with layouts intended to provide a strong focus on our food offerings. fas craves food elevates our assortment of hot and cold grab-and-go food and dispensed beverages. The new fas craves format stores are designed to elevate the customer experience and better reflect our commitment to foodservice, convenience, efficiency, and value. Since the launch of our flagship location, we have completed several additional remodels and are planning approximately 25 remodels, all which will feature the fas craves food and beverage elements. We also plan to expand components of fas craves food and beverage to certain non-remodel stores where space permits while awaiting their remodel.

Complementing our remodeling initiative, in 2025, we opened a Dunkin’ store and two NTI (new to industry) retail stores. Two additional NTI retail stores opened thus far in 2026, and we plan to open one more NTI retail store and three Dunkin’ stores in 2026.

We are targeting 20 NTI fleet fueling locations with target openings during 2026, 10 of which we are currently advancing, which we anticipate will have a positive impact on our results of operations given the attractive, durable cash flow profile of our fleet fueling business.

fas REWARDS Loyalty Program

At the end of 2025, we had approximately 2.4 million enrolled members in our fas REWARDS loyalty program, representing a year over year increase of approximately 6% from 2024. Our fas REWARDS loyalty program is available in all of our retail stores and offers enrolled loyalty members the most value in our stores, in-app member only deals not available without the app, and the ability to earn points that can be redeemed for either fuel or merchandise savings. Other in-app features include the ability to convert earned points to fas BUCKS, which can be spent like cash on most merchandise categories in our stores, or stackable fuel cents off up to $2.00 off per gallon, up to 20 gallons at the pump as part of our Fueling America’s Future promotion. To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, members can now save up to $2.50 per gallon in fuel savings.

In the first quarter of 2026, we plan to relaunch our fas REWARDS loyalty program app, which will include personalized features such as easy enrollment, an employee hub, store locators with individual member fuel pricing, Fueling America’s Future deals, value meals, age verified offers for tobacco and alcohol, and gaming.

Site Conversion Strategy (Dealerization)

Starting in the middle of 2024, as part of our Transformation Plan, we are leveraging our unique, multi-segment operating model to expand our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of retail stores within our retail segment to dealer locations within our wholesale segment. Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our retail and wholesale segments, as these sites have yielded, and we expect will continue to yield, greater profitability once converted. In such cases, we realize higher profit from ongoing fuel supply agreements and rental income than from continued operation of these stores in our retail segment. These conversions also allow us to focus on and better prioritize future investments in our remaining retail stores. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we converted 256 retail stores to dealer locations, and we have converted a total of 409 stores since the beginning of this initiative in the middle of 2024. We expect to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout 2026. These conversions have resulted in approximately $11.8 million in incremental operating income before general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025.
