Sunoco LP has completed its $7.3 billion acquisition of NuStar Energy, increasing Sunoco’s credit profile and financial stability, the companies announced May 3.

With NuStar’s incorporation into Sunoco, Sunoco expects to realize at least $150 million of expense and commercial synergies and at least $50 million per year of additional cash flow from refinancing activity.

After clearing a regulatory waiting period from the Federal Trade Commission, the merger was approved by NuStar unitholders at its May 1 special meeting. As of May 3, NuStar’s common units ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Sunoco also declared a quarterly distribution, representing a 4% increase, for first quarter 2024 of $0.875 per common unit or $3.50 annually.

The distribution will be paid on May 20 to common unitholders of record by May 13, including former NuStar unitholders who received Sunoco units upon the transactions’ closing.
