**Item 1. Security and Issuer**

**(a) Title of Class of Securities:**
Common Units Representing Limited Partner Interests

**(b) Name of Issuer:**
GLOBAL PARTNERS LP

**(c) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:**
800 South Street, Suite 500, Waltham, MA, 02453

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (the "Amendment") amends the Schedule 13D initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 7, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on April 2, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on March 10, 2017, and relates to the beneficial ownership by the Reporting Persons (as defined herein) of the common units representing limited partner interests ("Common Units") of Global Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership" or the "Issuer").

The purpose of this Amendment is to (i) remove Montello Oil Corporation and Global Petroleum Corp. from the list of Reporting Persons, (ii) add Eric Slifka as a Reporting Person, (iii) replace Richard Slifka with the Estate of Richard Slifka as a Reporting Person, and (iv) update the numbers of Common Units held by the Reporting Persons as a result of the transactions described herein.

This Schedule 13D ("Schedule 13D") relates to the Common Units of the Partnership. The Partnership has its principal executive offices at 800 South Street, Suite 500, Waltham, Massachusetts 02453.

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) Other than the Common Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant to the Repurchase Program, the Reporting Persons acquired the Common Units reported herein solely for investment purposes. The General Partner will use the Common Units purchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program to meet the General Partner's anticipated obligations to deliver Common Units under the Partnership's LTIP and meet the General Partner's obligations under existing employment agreements and other employment related obligations. The Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of Common Units either in the open market or in private transactions, including pursuant to the Repurchase Program, depending on each of their respective businesses, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Common Units, general economic conditions, stock market conditions and other future developments.

(b) None.

(c) None.

(d) None.

(e) Eric Slifka, as one of the direct and indirect owners of the General Partner, may cause the Issuer to change its dividend policy or its capitalization, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, from time to time in the future. Eric Slifka, however, has no current intention of changing the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer.

(f) None.

(g) Eric Slifka, as one of the direct and indirect owners of the General Partner, may cause changes to the Issuer's Certificate of Limited Partnership and Partnership Agreement. Eric Slifka, however, has no current intention of changing the Issuer's Certificate of Limited Partnership, Partnership Agreement or any other instrument relating thereto to impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person.

(h) None.

(i) None.

(j) Except as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons have, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The AS Trust, the Estate and Eric Slifka may change their plans or proposals in the future. In determining from time to time whether to sell the Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters and other opportunities available to them. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their respective holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intentions with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

**Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer**

**(a)**
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(1) The AS Trust is the record owner of 1,831,957 Common Units as of May 25, 2025. Based on there being 33,995,563 Common Units outstanding as of the date of this Amendment, these Common Units represent 5.4% of the outstanding Common Units as of the date of this Amendment. The trustees of the AS Trust are Eric Slifka and his two siblings. Eric Slifka has been delegated sole voting and investment authority over the Common Units owned by the AS Trust, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own those Common Units.

(2) The Estate is the record owner of 1,781,849 Common Units as of May 25, 2025. Based on there being 33,995,563 Common Units outstanding as of the date of this Amendment, these Common Units represent 5.2% of the outstanding Common Units as of the date of this Amendment.

(3) Chelsea is the record and beneficial owner of 60,178 Common Units as of May 25, 2025, which represented 0.1% of the outstanding Common Units as of the date of this Amendment. The Estate has sole voting and investment power with respect to and, therefore, may be deemed to beneficially own, the Common Units owned by Chelsea.

(4) Eric Slifka is the record owner of 698,824 Common Units as of May 25, 2025. Based on there being 33,995,563 Common Units outstanding as of the date of this Amendment, these Common Units represent 2.1% of the outstanding Common Units as of the date of this Amendment.

(5) Larea Holdings is the record and beneficial owner of 564,984 Common Units as of May 25, 2025, which represents 1.7% of the outstanding Common Units as of the date of this Amendment. Eric Slifka has sole voting and investment power with respect to and, therefore, may be deemed to beneficially own, the Common Units owned by Larea Holdings.

(6) Certain family trusts ("Family Trusts") hold an aggregate of 565,559 Common Units, representing 1.7% of the outstanding Common Units, as of May 25, 2025 three of which Eric Slifka is the sole trustee, and one of which Eric Slifka serves as co-trustee. Eric Slifka may, therefore, be deemed to beneficially own the Common Units held by those trusts.

(7) In connection with the Repurchase Program, the General Partner is the record and beneficial owner of 59,548 Common Units as of May 25, 2025, which represents 0.1% of the outstanding Common Units as of the date of this Amendment. Eric Slifka and family members of Richard Slifka control the General Partner, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own, the Common Units owned by the General Partner.

**(b)**
The information set forth in Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages and the information set forth in Item 2 hereto is incorporated herein by reference. Chelsea is a Massachusetts limited partnership and each of the General Partner and Larea Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company. The principal business and office address of each of Chelsea, the General Partner and Larea Holdings is 800 South Street, Suite 500, Waltham, MA 02453. During the past five years, none of Chelsea, the General Partner, or Larea Holdings has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the past five years, none of Chelsea, the General Partner or Larea Holdings has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and has not as a result of any such proceeding been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

**(c)**
Except as described in this Amendment and as set forth below, none of the Reporting Persons, Chelsea, the General Partner, Larea Holdings, nor the Family Trusts has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

For the purpose of meeting its anticipated obligations to deliver Common Units under the LTIP to certain officers, directors and employees, the General Partner has acquired Common Units on the open market in the last 60 days. See description of the Repurchase Program in Item 3 above.

**Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.**

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Subject to certain limitations, the Partnership Agreement provides that the Partnership will, upon the request of the General Partner or any of its affiliates (including the Reporting Persons) (each, a "Holder") file up to three registration statements to register the securities held by such Holder. Additionally, if the Partnership proposes to file a registration statement for an offering of equity securities for cash, the Partnership must use reasonable efforts to include a requesting Holder's securities in such registration statement.
