Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Director Retirement.

On September 28, 2016, Eija Malmivirta notified PBF Energy Inc. (the “Company”) that she will not seek re-election as a director at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Ms. Malmivirta will continue to serve as a director (including in her capacity as a member of the Compensation Committee and the Health, Safety & Environment Committee) through the remainder of her current term which ends at the Annual Meeting in May 2017. Ms. Malmivirta’s decision not to seek re-election was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or the Board of Directors.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 26, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a two year extension to its existing $300.0 million share repurchase program. After giving effect to shares already purchased under the program, the Company has approximately $149.2 million of available repurchase authorization under the program going forward. The repurchase authorization now expires on September 30, 2018.
Share repurchases may be made from time to time through various methods, including open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans. The timing and number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price, capital availability, legal requirements and economic and market conditions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
