Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Contribution Agreement

On December 2, 2014, PBF Energy Company LLC ("PBF LLC"), a subsidiary of PBF Energy Inc. ("PBF Energy" or together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Company"), entered into a Contribution Agreement with PBF Logistics LP (the "Partnership"), a consolidated subsidiary of PBF Energy. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, PBF LLC has agreed to contribute to the Partnership all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Toledo Terminaling Company LLC ("TTC"), for total consideration payable to PBF LLC of $150 million, consisting of $135 million of cash and $15 million of Partnership common units, or 620,935 common units.  The cash consideration will be funded by the Partnership with the proceeds from the sale of $30 million in marketable securities and $105 million in borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Partnership will borrow an additional $30 million under its revolving credit facility to repay $30 million of its outstanding term loan in order to release the $30 million in marketable securities that had collateralized the Partnership’s term loan.
    
TTC's assets will consist of a tank farm and related facilities located at PBF Energy's Toledo refinery, including a propane storage and loading facility. As part of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, PBF Holding Company LLC (“PBF Holding”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PBF LLC, will distribute all of the equity interests of TTC to PBF LLC immediately prior to the contribution by PBF LLC to the Partnership. The closing of the Contribution Agreement is subject to customary representations and warranties, indemnification obligations, covenants and closing conditions of the parties. In addition, in connection with the closing, the parties and certain of their affiliates will, among other things, enter into (i) a storage and terminaling services agreement that will provide for storage based on shell capacity availability at the tank farm and a minimum throughput commitment of 4,400 barrels per day at the propane storage, and loading facility and have an initial term of ten years; (ii) an assignment and amendment of the Partnership's existing Amended and Restated Toledo Truck Unloading and Terminaling Agreement with PBF Holding, pursuant to which the Partnership will assign its rights and obligations thereunder to TTC; and (iii) amendments to the Partnership’s existing Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement and Amended and Restated Operation and Management Services and Secondment Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement is expected to occur on or about December 12, 2014.

The foregoing description is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Contribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Contribution Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties to the Contribution Agreement made solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with signing the Contribution Agreement. In addition, these representations and warranties (i) may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate, (ii) may apply materiality standards different from what may be viewed as material to investors and (iii) were made only as of the date of the Contribution Agreement or as of such other date or dates as may be specified in the Contribution Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Contribution Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Investors are urged not to rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances at this time or any other time.
