On February 15, 2023, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a consent and amendment agreement, or the Consent Agreement, with TA and its subsidiary, TA Operating LLC, or together, the TCA Parties, and BP Products North America Inc., or BP, pursuant to which we and our applicable subsidiaries: (1) consented to TA’s entering into an agreement and plan of merger, or the Merger Agreement, with BP and its merger subsidiary, pursuant to which BP will acquire TA in a merger transaction, or the Merger, for cash consideration of $86.00 per share of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TA, or the TA common shares, and to the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or collectively, the BP Acquisition; (2) agreed to amend and restate our subsidiaries’ existing lease and guaranty agreements with the applicable TCA Parties, effective at the time of the Merger; and (3) agreed to sell to TA certain tradenames and trademarks associated with TA’s business that we or our applicable subsidiaries own at their current book value of $89,400, effective at the time of the Merger.
Pursuant to the amended and restated lease agreements to be entered into at the effective time of the Merger, or the A&R Leases, for 176 of our travel center properties, the aggregate annual minimum rent due to our applicable subsidiaries will be $254,000, with annual 2% increases throughout the initial term and any renewal terms of the A&R Leases, and there will be no percentage rent requirement. The A&R Leases will each have an initial term of 10 years, with five 10-year extension options, and TA Operating LLC will prepay $188,000 of rent under the A&R Leases at the effective time of the Merger and will receive
monthly rent credits totaling $25,000 per year over the 10-year initial term of the A&R Leases. In addition, TA Operating LLC will have a right of first offer with respect to certain potential sales of travel center properties included in the A&R Leases.
Pursuant to the amended and restated guaranty amendments to be entered into at the effective time of the Merger, or the A&R Guarantees, BP Corporation North America Inc. will guarantee payment under each of the A&R Leases. BP Corporation North America Inc.’s obligations under the A&R Guarantees will be limited by an initial aggregate cap of approximately $3,040,000.
The Merger is subject to various customary conditions to closing, including the approval of TA stockholders owning a majority of the TA common shares outstanding, as well as regulatory approvals. The parties currently expect that the BP Acquisition will be completed by mid-year 2023.
