(NYSE: PBF) announced today that Timothy Day and Neil Wizel, both Managing Directors with First Reserve, will resign from PBF Energy’s board of directors effective March 31, 2014, following a reduction in First Reserve’s holdings in PBF Energy, and its subsidiaries, through a secondary offering which closed on March 26, 2014.

Mr. Day commented that “PBF has been a terrific investment for First Reserve and we are proud to have played a role in the company’s development.” Mr. Wizel added “We thank PBF management for what has been a great relationship and we look forward to watching the company’s continued success.”
