Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


On May 8, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), Par Hawaii Refining, LLC, a Hawaii limited liability company (“PHR”), and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Par Pacific Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Supply and Offtake Agreement dated June 1, 2015 (as amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, and/or restated, the “Supply and Offtake Agreement”) with J. Aron & Company LLC, a New York general partnership (“J. Aron”). Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreement was extended through May 31, 2021, and the parties agreed to an approximately $30 million forward sale by PHR to J. Aron of certain monthly volumes of jet fuel to be delivered to J. Aron over the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreement (the “Forward Sale”) based on specified pricing and volume requirements set forth in the Amendment. Under the Amendment, PHR is permitted to distribute the proceeds from the Forward Sale to the Company for general corporate purposes. The cost to the Company of the Forward Sale is based upon an annual interest rate of 7.00%.

In connection with their entry into the Amendment, on the Effective Date the parties also amended (i) the pledge and security agreement in order to effect the Forward Sale and increase the ability of PHR to make certain payments and other distributions, including a one-time distribution to the Company of the approximately $30 million proceeds realized from the Forward Sale (the “Amended Pledge and Security Agreement”), and (ii) the storage facilities agreement in order to extend the period during which J. Aron may prepay for the use of certain storage, loading and offloading facilities at PHR’s refinery located in Kapolei, Hawaii (the “Amended Storage Facilities Agreement”).

The foregoing description of the Amendment, the Amended Pledge and Security Agreement, and the Amended Storage Facilities Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, the Amendment to Pledge and Security Agreement, and the Amendment to Storage Facilities Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
