On May 7, 2020, PBF Energy issued a press release announcing that it will briefly delay its earnings conference call for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, the filing of its Current Report on Form
8-K
setting forth its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Earnings Release”) and the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”)
due to circumstances related to the coronavirus(“COVID-19”)
pandemic in reliance on the “Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies” dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

no later than May 15, 2020. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.Since early March 2020, PBF Energy has been following the recommendations of state and local health authorities to minimize the exposure risk for its employees, including suggested and mandated travel restrictions, office closures,
stay-at-home
orders and limitations on the availability of workforces. These restrictions have in turn caused a delay in the completion of the Earnings Release and Form 10-Q
process. In addition, PBF Energy’s management has had to devote significant time and attention to assessing the potential impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic and related events on its operations and financial position and developing operational and financial plans to address those matters, which has diverted management resources from completing the tasks necessary to file the Earnings Release and Form 10-Q
by the applicable filing due date.Item 9.01. | Financial Statements and Exhibits. |
