Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On September 5, 2014, Par Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the scheduling of a conference call to discuss the Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (“HECO”) contract identified in Item 8.01 below. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the foregoing information, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information and Exhibit 99.1 be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 5, 2014, the Company issued a press release responding to the recent announcement by HECO that it would not renew one of its contracts with Hawaii Independent Energy (“HIE”), Par’s wholly owned subsidiary, when the contract expires on December 31, 2014.
Although the HECO contract is significant to HIE, the contract represented less than 8% of the Company’s refining segment revenue for the first six months of 2014. The HECO contract contains confidentiality provisions which restrict the disclosures that the Company can make. However, the HECO contract was entered into in the ordinary course of business and represents only a portion of HIE’s low sulfur fuel oil sales. The Company continues to discuss the situation with HECO.
