On that date, the Board appointed Gail S. Workman, 46, to the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Workman joined the Partnership's predecessor, Susser Petroleum Company LLC, in May 2011 as a Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations. Prior to joining the company, she served as Regional Vice President of Sales for GDF Suez Energy from May 2006 to May 2011 where she led a multi-channel sales team focused on delivering energy solutions to retail, commercial, industrial, and government clients. The Partnership and Susser Holdings Corporation (“SUSS”) issued a joint news release on September 12, 2013 announcing, among other things, the foregoing promotions. A copy of that release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

( d ) SUSS, as the sole member of the General Partner, on September 11, 2013, increased the size of the Board to include seven directors and appointed Mr. Frank A. Risch to serve as a director and to the conflicts and audit committees of the Board. Mr. Risch joins the Board as an independent director.

As an independent director of the General Partner, Mr. Risch will receive compensation and reimbursement of expenses consistent with the General Partner's director compensation practices as described beginning on page 52 of the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year, including an initial grant of 3,674 phantom units under the Susser Petroleum Partners LP Long-Term Incentive Plan.
