PARSIPPANY, N.J.—August 9, 2018—PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE:PBF) (“PBF Energy”) announced today that it has commenced an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 6 million shares of its Class A common stock. The underwriter of the Offering will have a thirty day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional shares.
On August 2, 2018, PBF Energy announced a $0.30 per share dividend on outstanding Class A common stock, payable on August 30, 2018 to holders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2018. Settlement of shares purchased in this Offering will occur prior to the record date for this dividend and, as a result, purchasers in this Offering who are holders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2018 will be entitled to receive this dividend and will be responsible for any related tax obligation.
PBF Energy expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to pursue strategic capital projects associated with optimizing its ability to process heavy sour feedstocks, increasing its clean product yield, and enhancing its system-wide operational reliability, which may include construction of a hydrogen plant facility at PBF Energy’s Delaware city refinery and restarting certain idle units at PBF Energy’s Chalmette refinery. In addition, net proceeds from this Offering, or a portion thereof, subject to the timing and execution of any potential strategic capital projects, may be used for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness and funding working capital requirements.
