Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Contribution Agreement

On May 5, 2015, PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC"), a subsidiary of PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy" or together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company"), entered into a Contribution Agreement with PBF Logistics LP (the "Partnership"), a consolidated subsidiary of PBF Energy. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, PBF LLC has agreed to contribute to the Partnership all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Delaware Pipeline Company LLC ("DPC") and Delaware City Logistics Company LLC ("DCLC"), for total consideration payable to PBF LLC of $143.0 million, consisting of $112.5 million of cash and $30.5 million of Partnership common units, or 1,288,420 common units.  The cash consideration will be funded by the Partnership with $40.0 million in proceeds from certain expected financing transactions, sale of approximately $0.7 million in marketable securities and $71.8 million in borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Partnership will borrow an additional $0.7 million under its revolving credit facility to repay $0.7 million of its outstanding term loan in order to release the $0.7 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Partnership’s term loan.

DPC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding Company LLC ("PBF Holding"), whose sole operating asset is the Delaware City Products Pipeline. The Delaware City Products Pipeline consists of a 23.4 mile, 16-inch interstate petroleum products pipeline with capacity in excess of 125,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) located at PBF Holding's subsidiary's Delaware City, Delaware refinery. The pipeline transports refined petroleum products from the Delaware City refinery to Sunoco Logistics Partners, L.P.’s (“Sunoco Logistics”) Twin Oaks pump station in Delaware County, PA, with connections to Buckeye Partners, L.P.’s Laurel pipeline and Sunoco Logistics’ northeast pipeline systems that serve Western Pennsylvania and New York. DCLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delaware City Refining Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF Holding. DCLC's assets at closing will consist of a 15-lane, 76,000 bpd capacity truck loading rack utilized to distribute gasoline, distillates and liquefied petroleum gas located at the Delaware City refinery.

As part of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC, will distribute all of the equity interests of DPC and DCLC to PBF LLC immediately prior to the contribution by PBF LLC to the Partnership. The closing of the Contribution Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions of the parties including receipt of the proceeds contemplated by the expected financing transactions. In addition, in connection with the closing, the parties and certain of their affiliates will, among other things, enter into (i) a pipeline services agreement that will provide a minimum throughput commitment of approximately 50,000 bpd, and have an initial term of ten years; (ii) a terminaling services agreement that will provide a minimum throughput commitment of approximately 30,000 bpd of gasoline, diesel and heating oil, and a minimum throughput commitment of approximately 5,000 bpd of propane and propylene, and have an initial term of ten years; and (iii) amendments to the Partnership’s existing Second Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement and Second Amended and Restated Operation and Management Services and Secondment Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement is expected to occur on or about May 15, 2015.

The foregoing description is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Contribution Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties to the Contribution Agreement made solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Contribution Agreement. In addition, these representations and warranties (i) may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (ii) may apply materiality standards different from what may be viewed as material to investors and (iii) were made only as of the date of the Contribution Agreement or as of such other date or dates as may be specified in the Contribution Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Contribution Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Investors are urged not to rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances at this time or any other time.
