PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to purchasers of our securities. Prospective purchasers of our securities should carefully review the detailed information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. As used in this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “Susser,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” refer to Susser Holdings Corporation, our predecessors and our consolidated subsidiaries, including Susser Holdings L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation. We use a 52 or 53 week fiscal year, which ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. For example, references to “fiscal 2010” are to the 52 weeks ending January 2, 2011 and references to “fiscal 2009” are to the 53 weeks ending January 3, 2010.

Our Company

We are the largest non-refining operator of convenience stores in Texas based on store count and we believe we are the largest non-refining motor fuel distributor by gallons in Texas. Our operations include retail convenience stores and wholesale motor fuel distribution. We believe our unique retail/wholesale business model, scale, market position and foodservice and merchandising offerings, combined with our highly productive new store model, create a significant competitive advantage and position us for continued growth in sales and profitability.

Our retail segment operates approximately 535 convenience stores in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma under the Stripes® convenience store brand. Our convenience stores offer a varied selection of food, beverage, snacks, grocery and non-food items intended to appeal to the convenience needs of our customers. We also offer fresh food under our proprietary in-store restaurant brand, Laredo Taco Company®, which generates higher margins than most other products and drive the sale of high margin complementary items, such as hot and cold beverages and snacks. This proprietary restaurant operation features in-store kitchens preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings targeted to the local population in the markets we serve. Additionally, we own and operate ATM, pay telephone and proprietary money order systems in most of our stores and also provide other services such as lottery, prepaid telephone cards and wireless services and car washes.

As a wholesale distributor of motor fuel, we purchase branded and unbranded motor fuel from refiners and distribute it to our retail convenience stores, contracted independent operators of convenience stores and to other end users. We believe we are among the largest distributors of Valero and Chevron branded motor fuel in the United States and we also distribute CITGO, Conoco, Phillips 66, Shamrock, Exxon, Shell and Texaco branded motor fuels. We receive a fixed fee per gallon on approximately 80% of our third-party wholesale gallons sold, which reduces the overall variability of our financial results. We believe our wholesale business complements our retail business by enabling us to leverage combined motor fuel purchases on more attractive terms.

Corporate Information

Susser Holdings, L.L.C. was formed in Delaware in December 1997. Susser Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in December 2005. Susser Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in May 2006.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by us for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, capital expenditures, investments, and the repayment, redemption or refinancing of all or a portion of any indebtedness or other securities outstanding at a particular time.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

The following table sets forth our historical ratios of earnings to fixed charges on a consolidated basis for the periods shown. You should read these ratios of earnings to fixed charges in connection with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes to those statements, incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

Fiscal Year Ended         
December 31,
2006
     December 30,
2007
     December 28,
2008
     January 3,

          1.37x         1.53x         1.07x         1.07x         2.36x   

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing fixed charges of Susser Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries into earnings before income taxes, adjusting for minority interest in consolidated subsidiary, discontinued operations and cumulative effect of changes in accounting plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest, less capitalized interest. Fixed charges include interest expense, which includes amortization of debt offering costs and capitalized interest. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 were inadequate to cover fixed charges by a deficiency of $4.4 million.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following summarizes the material provisions of our capital stock and important provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This summary is qualified in its entirety by our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and by the provisions of applicable law.

Common Stock

Susser Holdings Corporation’s authorized common stock consists of 125,000,000 shares, $0.01 par value per share. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to the stockholders for a vote. Because holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock can elect all of the members of the board of directors standing for election. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the board of directors. Subject to any prior rights of outstanding preferred stock, the common stock is entitled to receive pro rata all of the assets of Susser Holdings Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, and there are no preemptive rights associated with our common stock. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and not liable for further call or assessment.

Preferred Stock

Susser Holdings Corporation’s authorized preferred stock consists of 25,000,000 shares, $0.01 par value per share. Our board of directors is authorized under our certificate of incorporation to create and issue, from time to time in one or more classes or series, shares of preferred stock with such designations, powers, preferences, rights and restrictions, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rates, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices and liquidation preferences, which may be superior to those of the common stock, without further vote or action by the stockholders. We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Description of Certain Provisions in Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation. Under Delaware law, the power to adopt, amend or repeal the certificate of incorporation is conferred upon the stockholders. Our charter may be amended by an affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office and a majority of stockholders of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote; however, amendments to certain provisions described below require an affirmative vote of not less than 66 2/3 % in voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally, voting together as a single class.

Amendment of the Bylaws. Under Delaware law, the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws is conferred upon the stockholders. A corporation may, however, in its certificate of incorporation also confer upon the board of directors the power to adopt, amend or repeal its bylaws. In addition to our stockholders, our charter and bylaws grant our board the power to adopt, alter, amend and repeal our bylaws on the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office.

Limitation of Liability of Officers and Directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability as follows:

 

   

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

   

for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of laws;

 

   

for unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or stock redemption; and

 

   

for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The effect of these provisions is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above. Amendments to these provisions in our certificate of incorporation require an affirmative vote of not less than 66  2/3 % in voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally, voting together as a single class.

Anti-takeover provisions. Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could prohibit a change of control that our stockholders may favor and could negatively affect our stock price. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:

 

   

authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to thwart a takeover attempt without further stockholder approval;

 

   

classify the board of directors into staggered three-year terms, which may lengthen the time required to gain control of our board of directors;

 

   

prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow holders of less than a majority of stock to elect some directors;

 

4


Table of Contents
   

limit who may call special meetings;

 

   

establish advance notice requirements that require any stockholder that wants to propose any matter that can be acted upon by stockholders at a stockholders’ meeting, including the nomination of candidates for election to the board of directors; and

 

   

require super-majority (66 2/3 %) voting to effect amendments to the board classification, board size and prohibition on cumulative voting provisions in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws described above.

Business Combination under Delaware Law. We are subject to Delaware’s anti-takeover law, which is Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This law provides that specified persons who, together with affiliates and associates, own, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation may not engage in some business combinations with the corporation for a period of three years after the date on which the person became an interested stockholder. The law does not include interested stockholders prior to the time our common stock is listed for quotation on the NASDAQ Global Market. The law defines the term “business combination” to encompass a wide variety of transactions with or caused by an interested stockholder, including mergers, asset sales and other transactions in which the interested stockholder receives or could receive a benefit on other than a pro rata basis with other stockholders. This provision has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock. With approval of our stockholders, we could amend our certificate of incorporation in the future to elect not to be governed by the anti-takeover law. This election would be effective 12 months after the adoption of the amendment and would not apply to any business combination between us and any person who became an interested stockholder on or prior to the adoption of the amendment.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “SUSS.”

Registrar and Transfer Agent.

The registrar and transfer agent for the common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The following summary describes the general terms that apply to the debt securities that may be issued under this prospectus. As used in this summary, references to “Susser” refer only to Susser Holdings Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries and references to the “co-issuers” refer only to, collectively, Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation and not to any of their respective subsidiaries. The term “issuer” means either Susser or the co-issuers, depending on which registrant is offering the debt securities and the term “issuers” is a collective reference to Susser and the co-issuers.

The particular terms of any debt securities will be described more specifically in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities as indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. The issuers may issue debt securities in one or more series. The debt securities of any series issued by Susser may have the benefit of guarantees by one or more of its subsidiaries. The debt securities of any series issued by the co-issuers will be unconditionally guaranteed by Susser and may also have the benefit of guarantees by one or more of Susser’s subsidiaries. We refer to Susser in its capacity as providing a guarantee to the co-issuers or any of Susser’s subsidiaries that provide a guarantee, as a “guarantor.” If a guarantor issues a guarantee, that guarantee will be the general and, unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, unsecured obligation of that guarantor. If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the issuers may issue debt securities that are secured by specified collateral or that have the benefit of one or more guarantees that are secured by specified collateral.

Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, as used in this section, the term “guaranteed debt securities” means any debt securities that, as described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto, are guaranteed by one or more guarantors pursuant to the indenture; the term “secured debt securities” means any debt securities that, as described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto, are secured by collateral; the term “unsecured debt securities” means any debt securities that are not secured debt securities; the term “subordinated debt securities” means any debt securities that, as described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto, will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any unsubordinated indebtedness; the term “senior debt securities” means any debt securities that are not subordinated debt securities; and the term “debt securities” includes unsecured debt securities, secured debt securities, senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities.

Any debt securities issued by Susser will be issued under a “Susser indenture” which will be entered into by Susser and a trustee. Any debt securities issued by the co-issuers will be issued under a “co-issuer indenture” which will be entered into by the co-issuers, Susser in its capacity as guarantor and a trustee. Together the Susser indenture and the co-issuer indenture are referred to collectively herein as the “indentures.” The trustee shall be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. Prior to the initial issuance of a series of guaranteed debt securities that are to be guaranteed by a subsidiary that is not a party to the applicable indenture, the parties to that indenture and such subsidiary will enter into a supplemental indenture whereby such subsidiary will become a guarantor under the applicable indenture. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the issuers may issue both secured and unsecured debt securities and both senior and subordinated debt securities under the same indenture. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in this section to the “indenture” and the “trustee” refer to the applicable indenture pursuant to which any particular series of debt securities is issued and to the trustee under that indenture. A form of the indentures has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part. The terms of any series of debt securities and, if applicable, any guarantees of the debt securities of such series will be those specified in or pursuant to the applicable indenture and in the certificates evidencing that series of debt securities and those made part of the indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or the “Trust Indenture Act of 1939.”

You should read the particular terms of the debt securities, which will be described in more detail in the prospectus supplement. You should also review the form of applicable indenture, the form of any applicable supplemental indenture and the form of certificate evidencing the applicable debt securities, which forms have been or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or as exhibits to documents which have been or will be incorporated by reference in this prospectus. To obtain a copy of the form of indenture, the form of any supplemental indenture or the form of certificate for any debt securities, see “Where you can find more information” in this prospectus.

The following summary of the debt securities is not complete and may not contain all of the information you should consider.

We will describe the particular terms of each series of debt securities in a prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC. The prospectus supplement will set forth, to the extent required, the specific terms of the debt securities in respect of which the prospectus supplement is delivered, including, where applicable:

“book-entry securities,” which means that there will be one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary; or

 

   

“certificated securities,” which means that they will be represented by a certificate issued in definitive registered form.

The prospectus supplement applicable to a particular offering will specify whether the debt securities offered will be book-entry or certificated securities.

Certificated Debt Securities

If you hold certificated debt securities, you may transfer or exchange such debt securities at the trustee’s office or at the paying agent’s office or agency in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and of the right to receive the principal of, premium, and/or interest, if any, on the certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing the certificated debt securities and having the applicable issuer or the trustee issue a new certificate to the new holder.

Upon any such consolidation, merger or transfer in which the applicable issuer is not the continuing entity, the successor person formed or remaining or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the applicable issuer and the issuer would be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the indenture and the debt securities.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following events will be events of default under the indenture with respect to each series of debt securities:

 

   

default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any debt security of any such series;

 

   

default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any debt security of such series; and

 

   

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization of the applicable issuer.

The indenture provides that if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, all outstanding debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series may declare all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable immediately.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series by notice to the trustee may on behalf of the holders of all of the debt securities of such series waive an existing default or event of default and its consequences under the indenture, except a continuing default or event of default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities of such series (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted in such acceleration.

Table of Contents

In addition, if the acceleration occurs at any time when the applicable issuer has outstanding indebtedness which is senior to the debt securities, the payment of the principal amount of outstanding debt securities may be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of any amounts due under the senior indebtedness, in which case the holders of debt securities will be entitled to payment under the terms prescribed in the instruments evidencing the senior indebtedness and the indenture.

A holder of debt securities of a series may pursue any remedy under the indenture, except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, when due, only if:

 

   

the holder has previously given the trustee notice that an event of default is continuing;

 

   

the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have requested the trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

   

the holder offers to the trustee security reasonably satisfactory to the trustee or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

 

   

the trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 

   

holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series have not given the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

The applicable issuer will periodically deliver certificates to the trustee regarding its compliance with its obligations under the indenture.

Discharge

The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities, as expressly provided for in the indenture) as to all outstanding debt securities of a series when:

 

  (i) either:

 

  (a) all the debt securities of that series, theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) debt securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid, and (B) debt securities of such series, for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the issuer and thereafter repaid to the issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or for cancellation; or

 

  (b) all such debt securities of that series, not theretofore delivered to the trustee canceled or for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, or (B) will, in accordance with their stated maturity, become due and payable within one year, or (C) have been or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the issuer, and the issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the trustee, as trust funds in trust for the purpose, an amount in money sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the debt securities of such series with respect to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of debt securities of such series which have become due and payable), or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

 

  (ii) the issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture by the issuer with respect to the debt securities of such series; and

 

  (iii) the issuer has delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent in the indenture provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture with respect to the debt securities of such series have been complied with.

Regarding the Trustee

The trustee with respect to any series of debt securities will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. If the trustee becomes one of the applicable issuer’s creditors, it will be subject to limitations in the indenture on its rights to obtain payment of claims or to realize on some property received for any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with the applicable issuer. If, however, it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate that conflict or resign.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required to use the degree of care and skill of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs. The trustee will become obligated to exercise any of its powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of debt securities only after those holders have offered the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it.

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES OF DEBT SECURITIES

The debt securities of any series issued by Susser Holdings L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation will be guaranteed by Susser Holdings Corporation. Debt securities of any series issued by Susser Holdings Corporation or Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries. However, the indenture will not require that any of our subsidiaries be a guarantor of any series of debt securities. As a result, the guarantors of any series of debt securities may differ from the guarantors of any other series of debt securities. If we issue a series of debt securities guaranteed by our subsidiaries, the identity of the specific subsidiary guarantors of the debt securities of that series will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Susser Holdings Corporation, Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation are each holding companies with no independent assets or operations. Any guarantees issued in respect of debt securities will be full and unconditional and joint and several. Any subsidiaries of Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation other than those named in the registration statement of which the prospectus forms a part are minor.

If we issue a series of debt securities, we will describe the particular terms of any guarantees of such series in a prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus in any of the following ways (or in any combination):

 

   

to or through underwriters or dealers;

 

   

directly to one or more purchasers;

 

   

through agents; or

 

   

to investors directly in negotiated transactions or in competitively bid transactions.

We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

   

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

 

   

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

   

at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or

 

   

at negotiated prices.

Each time we offer and sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering, including:

 

   

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them;

 

   

the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us;

 

   

any options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

 

   

any underwriting discounts or commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;

 

   

any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

   

any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed or traded.

Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. We may determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe how any auction will determine the price or any other terms, how potential investors may participate in the auction and the nature of the obligations of the underwriter, dealer or agent in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, dealers or any other third parties described above may offer and sell the offered securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters or dealers. Generally, the underwriters’ or dealers’ obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe the nature of any such relationship in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter.

We may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to such agent. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. These contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions to be paid for solicitation of these contracts.

Offered securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more marketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Agents, dealers and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us or selling securityholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or the selling securityholders in the ordinary course of business.

Table of Contents

We may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions involving the securities with third parties, or sell securities not covered by the prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with those derivative transactions, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions, or may lend securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. If so, such third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivative or hedging transactions to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part).

We may effect sales of securities in connection with forward sale, option or other types of agreements with third parties. Any distribution of securities pursuant to any forward sale agreement may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions that may take place through a stock exchange, including block trades or ordinary broker’s transactions, or through broker-dealers acting either as principal or agent, or through privately negotiated transactions, or through an underwritten public offering, or through a combination of any such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated or fixed prices.

We may loan or pledge securities to third parties that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or, if we default in the case of a pledge, may offer and sell the securities from time to time using this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. Such third parties may transfer their short positions to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities offered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or otherwise.

Any underwriter may engage in any option to purchase additional securities, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. The option to purchase additional securities involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. This short sales position may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales. Covered short sales are short sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional securities option to purchase additional shares in the offering described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional securities or by purchasing securities in the open market. To determine how they will close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market, as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional securities. Naked short sales are short sales in excess of the option to purchase additional securities. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that, in the open market after pricing, there may be downward pressure on the price of the securities that could adversely affect investors who purchase securities in this offering. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security for the purpose of fixing the price of the security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions.

Similar to other purchase transactions, an underwriter’s purchase to cover syndicate short sales or to stabilize the market price of the securities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or mitigating a decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of the securities if it discourages resales of the securities.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act generally requires that trades in the secondary market settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Your prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than three scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the third business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than three scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

We may, from time to time, offer the securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, and may utilize the Internet or another electronic bidding or ordering system for the pricing and allocation of such securities. Such a system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us and which may directly affect the price or other terms at which such securities are sold.

The final offering price at which our securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders, would be based in whole or in part on the results of the Internet bidding process or auction. Many variations of Internet auction or pricing and allocation systems are likely to be developed in the future, and we may utilize such systems in connection with the sale of securities. The specific rules of such an auction would be distributed to potential bidders in an applicable prospectus supplement. If an offering is made using such bidding or ordering system you should review the auction rules, as described in the prospectus supplement, for a more detailed description of such offering procedures.

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which we refer to as FINRA, the aggregate maximum discount, commission, agency fees, or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement; however, we anticipate that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of securities will be significantly less than this amount.

 

13


Table of Contents

No FINRA member may participate in any offering of securities made under this prospectus if such member has a conflict of interest under NASD Rule 2720, including if 5% or more of the net proceeds, not including underwriting compensation, of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by a FINRA member participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA members, unless a qualified independent underwriter has participated in the offering or the offering otherwise complies with NASD Rule 2720.

We and the underwriters make no representation or prediction as to the effect that the types of transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. If such transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time.

The specific terms of the lock-up provisions, if any, in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

There can be no assurance that we will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus.

This prospectus may also be used in connection with any issuance of common stock upon exercise of a warrant if such issuance is not exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

This prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable pricing supplement in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites of, or through other online services maintained by, us and/or one or more of the agents and/or dealers participating in an offering of securities, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may be able to view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular agent or dealer, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online.

In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders. In some cases, we or dealers acting with us or on our behalf may also purchase securities and reoffer them to the public by one or more of the methods described above. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Sales by Selling Securityholders

Selling securityholders may use this prospectus in connection with resales of shares of our common stock, which the selling securityholders acquired in the restructuring that took place concurrently with our initial public offering in October 2006. The applicable prospectus supplement will identify the selling securityholders and the terms of the securities. Selling securityholders may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they resell and any profits on the sales may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling securityholders will receive all the proceeds from the sale of the securities. We will not receive any proceeds from sales by selling securityholders.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We maintain insurance providing for indemnification of our officers and directors, managers, partners and members of all registrants and certain other persons against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated proceedings and under certain stated conditions.

Delaware Corporations

Susser Holdings Corporation and Susser Finance Corporation (the “Delaware Corporations”) are each corporations organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware Corporation may indemnify past or present officers and directors of such corporation or of another corporation or other enterprise at the former corporation’s request, in an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such person actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Section 145 further provides that any indemnification shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct (i) by the stockholders, (ii) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, (iii) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iv) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, if there are no such disinterested directors, or if such disinterested directors so direct. Section 145 further provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

The certificates of incorporation and bylaws of the Delaware Corporations provide that indemnification shall be to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law for all current or former directors or officers of the Delaware Corporations.

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the certificates of incorporation of the Delaware Corporations provide that current or former directors of the Delaware Corporations shall have no personal liability to the Delaware Corporations or stockholders thereof for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Delaware Corporations or its stockholders thereof, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (4) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

The above discussion of the certificates of incorporation of the Delaware Corporations and the DGCL is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the certificates of incorporation of the Delaware Corporations and the DGCL.

Delaware LLCs

Susser Holdings, L.L.C., Stripes Holdings LLC and C&G Investments, LLC (the “Delaware LLCs”) are each limited liability companies organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or the DLLC Act, provides that a limited liability company may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to the standards and restrictions, if any, set forth in its limited liability company agreement.

Article XIX of the limited liability company agreement of Susser Holdings, L.L.C., Section 4.4 of the limited liability company agreement of Stripes Holdings LLC and Article X of the operating agreement of C&G Investments, LLC (collectively, the “Delaware LLC Agreements”) provide that none of the members, any director, any officer or any respective affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall be liable, in damages or otherwise, to the Delaware LLCs or the member for any act or omission performed or omitted to be performed pursuant to authority granted by the Delaware LLC Agreements, except if such act or omission results from such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, criminal conduct, or material breach of the Delaware LLC Agreements. Additionally, each Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless to the full extent permitted by the law, against all claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which an Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, arising out of or incidental to the business of the Delaware LLCs, regardless of whether an Indemnitee continues to be an Indemnitee at the time any such liability or expense is paid or incurred, if (i) the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the interests of the Delaware LLCs, and (ii) the Indemnitee’s conduct would entitle him to indemnification. The Delaware LLCs will pay expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay such amount if a court of competent jurisdiction determines the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Delaware LLCs as authorized in the Delaware LLC Agreements. These rights of indemnification are in addition to any rights to which such director or officer may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law and shall extend to his successors and assigns.

The above discussion of the Delaware LLC Agreements and of the DLLC Act is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Delaware LLC Agreements and the DLLC Act.

Texas Corporations

TCFS Holdings, Inc., Quick Stuff of Texas, Inc. and Town & Country Food Stores, Inc. are corporations organized under the Texas Business Corporation Act (the “TXBCA”) and T&C Wholesale, Inc. is a corporation organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code.

Article 2.02-1 of the TXBCA authorizes a Texas corporation to indemnify a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding, including any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative because the person is or was a director. The TXBCA provides that unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise, indemnification is permitted only if it is determined that the person (1) conducted himself in good faith; (2) reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as a director of the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The articles of incorporation of TCFS Holdings, Inc. provides that the corporation shall indemnify its officers and directors to the full extent provided by the TXBCA. The bylaws of Town & Country Food Stores, Inc. and Quick Stuff of Texas, Inc. provide that officers and directors shall be indemnified by the respective company, subject to certain limitations.

Section 8.051 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (“TBOC”) states that an enterprise shall indemnify a governing person, former governing person, or delegate against reasonable expenses actually incurred by the person in connection with a proceeding in which the person is a respondent because the person is or was a governing person or delegate if the person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. Section 8.101 of the TBOC states that an enterprise may indemnify a governing person, former governing person, or delegate who was, is, or is threatened to be made a respondent in a proceeding to the extent permitted by Section 8.102 of the TBOC if it is determined in accordance with Section 8.103 of the TBOC that: (1) the person: (A) acted in good faith; (B) reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in the person’s official capacity, that the person’s conduct was in the enterprise’s best interests; and (ii) in any other case, that the person’s conduct was not opposed to the enterprise’s best interests; and (C) in the case of a criminal proceeding, did not have a reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful; (2) with respect to expenses, the amount of expenses other than a judgment is reasonable; and (3) indemnification should be paid.

The bylaws of T&C Wholesale, Inc. provide that officers and directors shall be indemnified by the company, subject to certain limitations.

Item 17. Undertakings

(1) The Registrants hereby undertake:

(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

II-3


Table of Contents

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(d) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(e) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrants under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrants;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrants or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrants; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrants to the purchaser.

(2) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of such Registrants’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrants pursuant to the provisions set forth or described in Item 15 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the Registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such Registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(4) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
