CST Brands
Provides CST with a growth vehicle to fund future expansion
Provides CST Brands with infrastructure for the development and maintenance of a
wholesale fuel supply business, new store growth and a front seat in a consolidating
industry
Lehigh Gas Partners
Transforms LGP into a “sponsored”
MLP
Provides LGP with more than 5 years of drop-down opportunities from CST’s U.S.
wholesale fuel supply business and New-To-Industry (NTI) real property assets
“Best”
of both organizations –
c-store operations, wholesale fuel distribution
and M&A expertise
Enhances both organizations’
goals of increasing total shareholder and
unitholder returns
Strategic Rationale Overview
5


Provides CST access to the MLP capital markets to fuel organic growth
Partially monetizes the multiple disparity between C-corp and MLP structures
CST acquires IDRs that should increase in cash flow in the coming years
IDRs reach the “high splits”
sooner than if CST Brands had created its own MLP
capital structure
CST benefits from value creation at LGP through its ownership of
common units
received as partial consideration for asset drop-downs
CST receives cash flow from distributions on its LGP common units
Positions CST and LGP to expand their core operations through third-party
acquisitions
Flexible capital structure allows for cash or equity consideration to sellers
Management team experienced in executing M&A transactions
CST avoids the market risk, expense and management time associated with a
potential MLP IPO
Increases the geographic and brand diversity of CST’s current portfolio
Benefits for CST Shareholders
6


Provides for both greater certainty of and an increased rate of future
distribution growth
Greater certainty of drop-down asset acquisitions versus third-party acquisitions
Creates an enhanced platform with which to pursue third-party acquisitions
jointly with CST
Lessens over time LGP’s concentration with LGO (a private affiliate) and
increase its concentration with CST (a publicly traded company)
Increases the geographic and brand diversity of LGP’s current portfolio
Benefits for LGP Unitholders

benefits of a sponsored MLP structure
