Item 8.01.   Other Events

Senior Notes Offering

On May 12, 2026, Murphy USA Inc. (“Murphy USA”) issued a press release to announce a private offering (the “Offering”) of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2034 (the “Notes”) by its wholly owned subsidiary, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Murphy USA and by certain of Murphy USA’s domestic subsidiaries.

Murphy USA intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to (i) redeem all $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s existing 5.625% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), (ii) repay all or a portion of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, (iii) pay fees and expenses related to the foregoing and (iv) to the extent any proceeds remain, for general corporate purposes.

The Company intends to issue a notice of full redemption for the 2027 Notes in connection with the pricing of the Offering. The redemption price of the 2027 Notes will be determined in accordance with the indenture governing the 2027 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. No assurances can be given that the Company will complete the redemption of the 2027 Notes.

The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, and it does not constitute a notice of redemption for the 2027 Notes. A copy of the press release relating to the Offering is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
