Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 3, 2014, Sooner Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) distributed an aggregate of 1,037,149 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (“REGI”) to its stockholders (the “Distribution”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution adopted by the Company’s board of directors on December 17, 2013 and approved by its stockholders on June 3, 2014 (the “Plan”). The Company was issued an aggregate of 3,493,613 shares of REGI common stock in consideration of the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2013, by and among the Company, REGI, and REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC (“Asset Sale”).

In connection with the Distribution, each stockholder of record of the Company as June 11, 2014 (the “Final Record Date”), being the date on which the Company filed its Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and closed its stock transfer books, received approximate 0.104 Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole Share) with respect to each share of the Company’s common stock held by such stockholder as of the Final Record Date. On July 30, 2014 the Company had made a distribution of 2,095,879 shares. Following the current Distribution, the Company continues to hold 360,585 shares of REGI common stock (the “Retained Shares”). Stock distributions now total 90% of the Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Company intends to make subsequent distributions of Retained Shares. The timing and amount of any such subsequent distributions remains uncertain and will depend on the Company’s ability to satisfy its liabilities and obligations, including, without limitation, liabilities that may arise in connection with the on-going shareholder litigation related to the Asset Sale. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any determination regarding the timing and amount of any subsequent distributions will be made by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion, and there can be no assurance that any such subsequent distributions will be made promptly or at all.

Any inquiries regarding the Distribution should be directed to the Company’s distribution agent, Computershare Trust Company, at:
