“We are extremely pleased by the solid financial performance of Lehigh Gas Partners in its initial quarter as a public company. Overall, it was an incredibly active quarter. We successfully completed our IPO and closed two transactions prior to yearend. LGP finished the year in a strong financial position, and we expect the recently completed transactions to increase our cash flow in 2013. We continue to seek attractive acquisition opportunities and are looking forward to our first full year as a public company.”

## Q1 2013 Deals Help Our Business Do More Business 

Maintaining our commitment to smart growth, Lehigh Gas Partners signed agreements with two leading North American brands during the first quarter of 2013. 

## Rebranding in Cleveland 

In March 2013, LGP leased 19 convenience stores in the Cleveland, Ohio, market to 7-Eleven, Inc., the world leader in convenience retailing. The partnership will retain ownership of the sites while 7-Eleven will rebrand the locations as “7-Eleven” stores and manage the convenience-store operations. 

LGP looks forward to working with 7-Eleven, a strong, credit-rated tenant with a substantial balance sheet and a well-known global brand, and we are confident customers will benefit from the rebranding of those locations. 

## Expanding with CNG 

Also in March 2013, LGP and Clean Energy Fuels Corp., North America’s largest provider of natural gas for transportation, announced an agreement to develop compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations at potentially 20 Lehigh Gas facilities. The CNG stations will be accessible to the public for refueling and conveniently located for commercial CNG fleets, including shuttles, taxis, small- to mid- size trucks and other natural gas vehicles. Clean Energy will be responsible for the construction and operation of the CNG fueling stations and the management, marketing and sales of CNG at LGP’s sites. 

We recognize the significant environmental benefits and cost savings of CNG and are pleased to partner with Clean Energy to offer customers an alternative-fuel option. The agreement supports our alternate-fuel strategy of developing refueling sites both on our own and also with best-in-class providers like Clean Energy.
