Item 1.01.

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the Mergers, Alon, the Registrant and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”), effective as of July 1, 2017, supplementing the Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2013 (the “Indenture”), to which Alon issued its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”), which were convertible into shares of Alon’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Alon Common Stock”) or cash or a combination of cash and Alon Common Stock, all as provided in the Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes based on a number of shares of Alon Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Indenture) in effect immediately prior to the Mergers was changed into a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into or based on a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant (“Registrant Common Stock”) equal to the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Mergers. In addition, the Supplemental Indenture provides that, as of the Effective Time, the Registrant fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior basis, Alon’s obligations under the Notes.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 30, 2017, the Mergers to the Merger Agreement were completed and became effective as of the Effective Time. The Mergers and the Merger Agreement were previously described in the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Upon consummation of the Mergers, Delek Merger Sub merged with and into Old Delek, with Old Delek surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and Astro Merger Sub merged with and into Alon, with Alon surviving as a direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Alon Common Stock, other than shares owned by Old Delek and its subsidiaries or held in the

treasury of Alon, was converted into the right to receive 0.504 of a share of Registrant Common Stock, or, in the case of fractional shares of Registrant Common Stock, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Registrant Common Stock multiplied by (ii) $25.96 per share, which was the volume weighted average price of the Old Delek common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Old Delek Common Stock”) as reported on the NYSE Composite Transactions Reporting System for the twenty (20) consecutive New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) full trading days ending on June 30, 2017. Each outstanding share of restricted Alon Common Stock was assumed by the Registrant and converted into a restricted stock award denominated in shares of Registrant Common Stock.

In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Old Delek Common Stock or fraction thereof issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Old Delek Common Stock held in the treasury of Old Delek) was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non‑assessable share of Registrant Common Stock or such fraction thereof equal to the fractional share of Registrant Common Stock. All existing Old Delek stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights were converted into equivalent rights with respect to Registrant Common Stock.
