Item 2.01.   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 29, 2015, PBF Holding Company LLC ("PBF Holding"), a subsidiary of PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy" and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries including PBF Holding, the "Company"), entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with ExxonMobil Oil Corporation and its subsidiary, Mobil Pacific Pipeline Company (together, the "Sellers"), to purchase the Torrance refinery, and related logistics assets (collectively, the "Torrance Acquisition").

The acquisition contemplated by the Sale and Purchase Agreement closed on July 1, 2016. Through the Torrance Acquisition, the Company acquired the 155,000 barrel per day Torrance Refinery with a Nelson Complexity Index of 14.9 and related logistics assets, from the Sellers. In addition to refining assets, the transaction includes a number of high-quality logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a 171-mile crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery. Additionally, included in the transaction are several pipelines which provide access to sources of crude oil including the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, as well as clean product outlets with a direct pipeline supplying jet fuel to the Los Angeles airport. The refinery also has crude and product storage facilities with approximately 8.6 million barrels of shell capacity.

The purchase price for the assets was $537.5 million, plus estimated working capital of $460.9 million, which is subject to final valuation within ninety days of closing. The estimated working capital expenditures include existing feedstock, intermediate and finished product inventories as well as certain environmental credits. The Company expects the net working capital related to the Torrance Acquisition to ultimately be less than the working capital acquisition price as the pre-paid inventory and credits are cycled through its normal operations in the coming months. The Company financed the transaction with a combination of cash, including proceeds from its $350 million public equity offering in October of 2015, and borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility.

The Sale and Purchase Agreement is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.

Item 7.01.   Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 1, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Torrance Acquisition. The press release related to this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

PARSIPPANY, NJ– July 1, 2016 – PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) announced today that its subsidiary completed its acquisition of the 155,000 barrel-per-day Torrance refinery, and related logistics assets, from ExxonMobil. With the acquisition, PBF increased its total throughput capacity to approximately 900,000 barrels per day and becomes the fourth largest independent refiner in North America. The purchase price for the assets was $537.5 million, plus working capital. PBF financed the transaction with a combination of cash, including proceeds from its $350 million public equity offering in October of 2015, and borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility.

“We welcome Torrance’s professional workforce to the PBF family,” said PBF’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tom Nimbley. “Together, we are committed to the orderly transition of ownership and the safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible operation of the Torrance refinery and logistics assets.”

Nimbley continued, “We are excited to increase our geographic diversity with a complex refinery like Torrance in the dynamic West Coast fuels market. With this acquisition, PBF has increased our throughput capacity by more than 60 percent within the past year, adding significant earnings potential to PBF Energy and future growth opportunities for PBF Logistics.”

The Torrance refinery, located on 750 acres in Torrance, California, is a high-conversion 155,000 barrel per day, delayed-coking refinery with a Nelson Complexity Index of 14.9. The facility is strategically positioned in Southern California with advantaged logistics connectivity that offers flexible raw material sourcing and product distribution opportunities primarily to the California, Las Vegas and Phoenix area markets.

In addition to the refinery, the transaction includes a number of high-quality logistics assets including a sophisticated network of crude and products pipelines, product distribution terminals and refinery crude and product storage facilities. The most significant of the logistics assets is a 171-mile crude gathering and transportation system which delivers San Joaquin Valley crude oil directly from the field to the refinery.
