Operating assets and real estate are leased from Sprague Massachusetts Properties LLC, which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Sprague Holdings upon the closing of this offering. The New Bedford terminal is subject to a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which a third party has agreed to acquire the terminal from Sprague Massachusetts Properties LLC. The acquisition is subject to certain conditions that are beyond the control of Sprague Massachusetts Properties LLC. Subject to those conditions, the acquisition may be consummated on or before January 5, 2016. In the event that such sale is consummated,

Maintain our operational excellence . We intend to maintain our long history of safe, cost-effective operations and environmental stewardship by applying new technologies, investing in the maintenance of our assets and providing training programs for our employees.

We own and/or operate a large portfolio of strategically located assets in the Northeast . We own and/or operate 15 terminals in the Northeast with aggregate storage capacity of approximately 9.1 million barrels, many of which have access to waterborne trade and have rail connectivity and blending capabilities. We also have access to approximately 50 third-party terminals in the Northeast. We believe that the quantity, quality and location of the assets we own or to which we have access provide us the opportunity to offer our customers both certainty of supply and a diversity of products and services to a degree that our competitors with fewer assets cannot offer. In addition, our owned and/or operated terminals and our supply relationships afford us opportunities to acquire physical volumes of refined products at prices lower than expected future prices and either hedge or enter into forward contracts with respect to those volumes.

Our experienced management team has demonstrated its ability to effectively manage and grow our business . The members of our senior management team have an average of over 20 years of experience in the energy industry and have been operating and growing the assets of our predecessor as a team for approximately nine years. During that time, our predecessor has grown in part through the strategic acquisitions of various refined products and materials handling terminals, a natural gas marketing business and an asphalt and residual fuel oil marketing and storage company referred to as Kildair that will not initially be contributed to us. Since 2000, we have acquired approximately $198.7 million of assets in eleven transactions (including Kildair), including the acquisition of our Bridgeport, Connecticut terminal in July 2013. Our management team has also expanded our product offerings, implemented our risk management systems, significantly enhanced our employee safety and environmental compliance policies and overseen the design and implementation of numerous business and customer service programs designed to assist our customers in managing commodity risk.

Diversity of product offerings, services and customer base . We sell a variety of products, including our four core products (distillates, gasoline, residual fuel oil and natural gas), and provide materials handling services to a large and diverse group of customers. We believe that the diversity of the products and services that we offer provides us with the opportunity to attract a broad range of new customers and to expand the products and services we can offer to our existing customers. In addition, the diversity of our products helps provide us with more stable cash flows by mitigating the impact of seasonality and commodity price sensitivity. For the year ended December 31, 2012, our refined products, natural gas, materials handling and other operations segments accounted for 56%, 19%, 23% and 2% of our adjusted gross margin, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our refined products, natural gas and materials handling and other operations segments accounted for 57%, 26%, 15% and 2% of our adjusted gross margin, respectively.

Reputation for reliability and superior customer service . We have been a supplier of refined products in the Northeast for more than 50 years and believe that we have developed an excellent reputation for reliability and superior customer service. We have high customer retention rates, which we believe reflect our dependability and our continuous innovation and implementation of new product and service options for our customers. Over the last three fiscal years, our average annual customer retention rate has been over 90% across all of our business segments.

Financial flexibility to manage our business and pursue strategic growth opportunities . Immediately following the completion of this offering, we expect to have available undrawn borrowing capacity of

approximately $              million under a new credit agreement we expect to enter into in connection with this offering, as well as access to both the public and private equity and debt capital markets. We believe our borrowing capacity and our broader access to the capital markets will provide us with flexibility to pursue strategic growth opportunities while allowing us to manage the working capital requirements associated with our business.

Derivatives legislation could have an adverse impact on our ability to use derivatives to reduce the effect of commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and other risks associated with our business and could have an adverse impact on the cost of our hedging activities.

Our risk management policies, processes and procedures cannot eliminate all commodity price risk or basis risk, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders. In addition, any noncompliance with our risk management policies, processes and procedures could result in significant financial losses.

We are exposed to risks of loss in the event of nonperformance by our customers, suppliers and counterparties.

We are exposed to performance risk in our supply chain.

Some of our competitors have capital resources many times greater than ours and control greater supplies of refined products and natural gas. Competitors able to supply our customers with those products and services at a lower price could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

Some of our home heating oil and residual fuel oil volumes are subject to customers switching or converting to natural gas, which could result in loss of customers and, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

Energy efficiency, new technology and alternative energy sources could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

A principal focus of our business strategy is to grow and expand our business through acquisitions. If we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth may be limited and any acquisitions we make may reduce, rather than increase, our cash generated from operations on a per unit basis.

A portion of our net sales is generated under contracts that must be renegotiated or replaced periodically. If we are unable to successfully renegotiate or replace these contracts, our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders could be adversely affected.

Due to our lack of geographic diversification, adverse developments in the terminals we use or in our operating areas would adversely affect our results of operations and distributable cash flow.

Our operations are subject to operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions for which we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage.

Our terminalling and materials handling operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and operational safety that require us to incur substantial costs and that may become more stringent over time.

The risks of spills and releases and the associated liabilities for investigation, remediation and third-party claims, if any, are inherent in terminalling operations, and the liabilities that we incur may be substantial.

Increased regulation of greenhouse gas emissions could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for refined products as a fuel source, which could in turn reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern the product quality specifications of the refined products we purchase, store, transport and sell.

We depend on unionized labor for our operations in Mt. Vernon and Albany, New York and in Providence, Rhode Island. Work stoppages or labor disturbances at these facilities could disrupt our business.

We rely on our information technology systems to manage numerous aspects of our business, and a disruption of these systems could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make quarterly distributions to our unitholders.

It is our business strategy to distribute most of our distributable cash flow, which could limit our ability to grow and make acquisitions.

Axel Johnson currently controls, and after this offering will indirectly control, our general partner, which has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. Our general partner and its affiliates, including Axel Johnson, may have conflicts of interest with us and have limited duties to us and our common unitholders, and they may favor their own interests to the detriment of us and our common unitholders.

Our general partner intends to limit its liability regarding our obligations.

Our partnership agreement limits our general partner’s duties to our unitholders.

Our partnership agreement restricts the remedies available to our unitholders for actions taken by our general partner that might otherwise constitute breaches of fiduciary duty.

Cost reimbursements and fees due to our general partner and its affiliates for services provided to us or on our behalf, which may be determined in our general partner’s sole discretion, may be substantial and will reduce our distributable cash flow.

Unitholders have limited voting rights and, even if they are dissatisfied, cannot initially remove our general partner without its consent.

Our general partner interest or the control of our general partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.

The incentive distribution rights held by Sprague Holdings may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $             per common unit.

We may issue additional units without unitholder approval, which would dilute unitholder interests.

Sprague Holdings may sell units in the public or private markets, and such sales could have an adverse impact on the trading price of the common units.

An increase in interest rates may cause the market price of our common units to decline.

Our general partner’s discretion in establishing cash reserves may reduce the amount of distributable cash flow.

Our general partner may cause us to borrow funds in order to make cash distributions, even where the purpose or effect of the borrowing benefits the general partner or its affiliates.

Our general partner has a limited call right that may require you to sell your common units at an undesirable time or price.

Your liability may not be limited if a court finds that unitholder action constitutes control of our business.

A restatement of net income or a reversal or change of estimates affecting net income made after the end of the subordination period but affecting net income during the subordination period will not retroactively affect the conversion of the subordinated units even if we would not have had sufficient distributable cash flow based on such restated or adjusted net income to permit conversion.

Unitholders may have liability to repay distributions that were wrongfully distributed to them.

There is no existing market for our common units, and a trading market that will provide you with adequate liquidity may not develop. The price of our common units may fluctuate significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Sprague Holdings, or any transferee holding a majority of the incentive distribution rights, may elect to cause us to issue common units to it in connection with a resetting of the target distribution levels related to the incentive distribution rights, without the approval of the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our general partner or the holders of our common units. This could result in lower distributions to our unitholders.

The NYSE does not require a publicly traded limited partnership like us to comply with certain of its corporate governance requirements.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a publicly traded partnership.

Our tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, were to treat us as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, our distributable cash flow would be substantially reduced.

If we were subjected to a material amount of additional entity-level taxation by individual states, it would reduce our distributable cash flow.

The tax treatment of publicly traded partnerships or an investment in our units could be subject to potential legislative, judicial or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

Our unitholders will be required to pay taxes on their share of our income even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us.

The sale or exchange of 50% or more of our capital and profits interests during any twelve-month period will result in the termination of our partnership for federal income tax purposes.

Tax gain or loss on the disposition of our common units could be more or less than expected.

Tax-exempt entities and non-U.S. persons face unique tax issues from owning common units that may result in adverse tax consequences to them.

If the IRS contests the federal income tax positions we take, the market for our common units may be adversely affected and the cost of any IRS contest will reduce our distributable cash flow.

We will treat each purchaser of our common units as having the same tax benefits without regard to the actual common units purchased. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of the common units.

We will prorate our items of income, gain, loss and deduction between transferors and transferees of our units each month based upon the ownership of our units on the first day of each month, instead of on the basis of the date a particular unit is transferred. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could change the allocation of items of income, gain, loss and deduction among our unitholders.

A unitholder whose common units are the subject of a securities loan (i.e., a loan to a “short seller” to cover a short sale of common units) may be considered as having disposed of those common units. If so, such unitholder would no longer be treated for tax purposes as a partner with respect to those common units during the period of the loan and may be required to recognize gain or loss from the disposition.

Unitholders may be subject to state and local taxes and return filing requirements in jurisdictions where they do not live as a result of investing in our common units.
