Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 27, 2021, CVR Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the final ratio for the Stock Distribution (defined below) portion of its previously announced special dividend of $492 million, which is payable in a combination of cash and the common stock of Delek US Holdings, Inc. (“Delek”) held by the Company (the “Stock Distribution”). The special dividend will be paid on June 10, 2021 (the “Distribution Date”). In the Stock Distribution, the Company will distribute approximately 0.1048 of a share of Delek common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the close of business on May 26, 2021 (the “Record Date”). The final Stock Distribution ratio was calculated by dividing the 10,539,880 shares of Delek common stock to be distributed by 100,530,599 shares of CVR Energy common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date. No fractional shares of Delek common stock will be distributed. Instead, stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional share of Delek common stock that they otherwise would have received.
The final amount of the cash portion of the special dividend will be determined based on the difference between $492 million and the value of the Stock Distribution as of the Distribution Date, with each share of CVR Energy common stock outstanding as of the Record Date receiving a pro rata portion of such difference in cash. The Company intends to announce the amount of cash per share of its common stock to which each of its stockholders will be entitled on the Distribution Date.
A copy of the press release announcing the final ratio for the Stock Distribution is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Stockholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the special dividend.
In connection with the special dividend, on June 1, 2021, the Company made available on its website an information statement (the “Information Statement”), which contains a description of the special dividend. A copy of the Information Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
