The deal was valued at $203.3 million and includes retail and wholesale gas stations and jet fuel.
ADNOC explained in a press release that the cost of the acquisition is $186 million in addition to an additional $17.3 million if certain conditions are met, and the Emirati company did not elaborate on those conditions.
