Item 8.01. Other Events.

Between October 6, 2014 and October 8, 2014 Sooner Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) sold 200,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) of Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (“REGI”) 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 sale resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $2,001,685.66. Cash from the sale will be held by the Company to satisfy its liabilities and obligations.

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”). The Company has previously distributed an aggregate of 3,133,028 shares of REGI common stock to the Company’s shareholders, and continues to hold 160,585 shares of REGI common stock (the “Retained 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.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include any statements regarding the Company’s operational plans. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. The Company does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
