Susser Announces Board Appointments and Management Promotions
Board Appointments
As separately announced,
"I'm honored to be named Chairman," commented Mr. Susser. "I'd like to thank Bruce for his 13 years of service as our Chairman, and I look forward to working with him and our fellow directors in this new capacity. Bruce will continue to provide strategic counsel leveraging his distinguished career in retailing as the Lead Director at SUSS as he has in the past years. Rob joined the Board of SUSP concurrent with the IPO last September, and his deep financial experience and natural curiosity has only enhanced our Board discussions and processes."
Mr. Krysiak stated, "Sam has led the growth of this Company since it was a chain of only five convenience stores in 1988. He has been, and continues to be, an excellent steward of the Company for all of our stakeholders. Now that we have active Boards at both SUSS and SUSP, we believe his appointment as Chairman of SUSS is a natural and appropriate progression as we position the Company for continued growth and success. I look forward to continuing to serve alongside Sam in my new role as Lead Director."
SUSS has seven Board members, five of whom are classified as independent. The SUSP general partner Board also has seven members, five of whom are classified as independent and three of whom also serve on the Conflicts Committee.

"Since joining the Company a little more than two years ago, Gail has enhanced our organizational capability and developed bandwidth to support our future growth. Kevin joined the Company shortly after I did, and he has provided the steady, intense leadership that has delivered 24 consecutive years of same store merchandise sales growth."
