Item 8.01.   Other Events.
On September 23, 2015, PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy") issued a press release providing an update to the operations at the Delaware City refinery, indirectly owned by its subsidiary, PBF Holding Company LLC (together with PBF Energy, the "Company"), which had been running at reduced rates following an unplanned shutdown of its Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (“FCC”) on August 21, 2015. The FCC has successfully restarted and is operating to plan. During the outage, the Company elected to move forward the planned maintenance of its crude and reformer units. The planned maintenance is expected to be complete by the end of September.
The press release issued by the Company also provided the following updated guidance for the remainder of 2015: the East Coast is expected to process approximately 300,000 to 320,000 barrels per day (“bpd”) for the third quarter and 320,000 to 340,000 bpd for the fourth quarter; the Mid-Continent is expected to process approximately 165,000 to 175,000 bpd for the third quarter and 150,000 to 160,000 bpd for the fourth quarter.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The information in this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Regulation FD.
