PBF
("PBF Energy") announced today that it has closed its previously announced underwritten public offering (the "Offering") of 11,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares, at $31.00 per share. Net proceeds to PBF Energy, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated expenses, are expected to be approximately $344.0 million. PBF Energy expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for its recently announced pending acquisition of the Torrance refinery and related logistics assets. However, subject to the timing of the closing of this acquisition, PBF Energy may use the net proceeds of the Offering to pay down indebtedness incurred to fund its pending acquisition of the Chalmette refinery and related logistics assets (or for capital in lieu of indebtedness PBF Energy might otherwise borrow). In the event the Torrance acquisition does not close and it has not previously utilized the net proceeds from the Offering, PBF Energy may use them for repayment of indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions. The closing of the acquisitions is not conditioned on the closing of the Offering, and the Offering is not conditioned on the closing of the acquisitions.

These documents may also be obtained free of charge from the Securities and Exchange Commission's website ("SEC") at www.sec.gov. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.
