2025 Senior Secured Notes
On May 13, 2020, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among PBF Holding and PBF Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PBF Finance Corporation (“PBF Finance” and together with PBF Holding, the “Issuers”), the guarantors named therein (collectively the “Guarantors”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent, Authenticating Agent and Notes Collateral Agent, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $982.9 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses.
On December 21, 2020 PBF Holding issued an additional $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of tack on 9.25% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued at an offering price of 100.25% plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including, November 15, 2020. The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued under the indenture governing the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and, together with the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes, the (“2025 Senior Secured Notes”). The additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were treated as a single series with the initial 2025 Senior Secured Notes and had the same terms except that a portion of the additional 2025 Senior Secured Notes were issued initially under a new temporary CUSIP number to be used during the 40-day distribution compliance period. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $245.7 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses.
The 2025 Senior Secured Notes were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees were senior obligations and secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, on a first-priority basis, by substantially all of PBF Holding's and the guarantors’ present and future assets (other than assets securing the PBF Holding asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”)), which may also constitute collateral securing certain hedging obligations and any existing or future indebtedness that is permitted to be secured on a pari passu basis with the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees were senior secured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 6.00% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), and the 7.25% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and guarantees ranked effectively senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is not secured by the collateral (including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028
Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Notes), subject to permitted liens on such collateral and certain other exceptions, and senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees were effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness that is secured by liens on assets owned by the Company that do not constitute part of the collateral securing the 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees (including the assets securing the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees were structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the 2025 Senior Secured Notes contained customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants included limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants were to cease to apply or were to be modified if the 2025 Senior Secured Notes were rated investment grade.
During 2022, the Company exercised its rights under the indenture governing the 2025 Senior Secured Notes to redeem all of the outstanding 2025 Senior Secured Notes at a price of 104.625% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The aggregate redemption price for all 2025 Senior Secured Notes approximated $1.3 billion plus accrued and unpaid interest. The difference between the carrying value of the 2025 Senior Secured Notes on the date they were redeemed and the amount for which they were redeemed was $69.9 million and was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
2028 Senior Notes
On January 24, 2020, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among the Issuers, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent, under which the Issuers issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $987.0 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses. The Company primarily used the net proceeds to fully redeem the 7.00% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”), including accrued and unpaid interest, on February 14, 2020, and to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of the Martinez refinery and related logistics assets (the “Martinez Acquisition”). The difference between the carrying value of the 2023 Senior Notes on the date they were reacquired and the amount for which they were reacquired has been classified as loss on extinguishment of debt in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The 2028 Senior Notes included a registration rights arrangement whereby the Issuer and the Guarantors agreed to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate an offer to exchange the 2028 Senior Notes for an issue of registered notes with terms substantially identical to the notes not later than 365 days after the date of the original issuance of the notes. This registration statement was declared effective on October 14, 2020 and the exchange was consummated during the fourth quarter of 2020. As such, the Company did not have to transfer any consideration as a result of the registration rights agreement and thus no loss contingency was recorded.
The 2028 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2028 Senior Notes and guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2025 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2028 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2028 Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness (including the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2028 Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries. In addition, the 2028 Senior Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities. These covenants include limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2028 Senior Notes are rated investment grade.
At any time prior to February 15, 2023, the Issuers may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.000% of the principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. On or after February 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2028 Senior Notes, in each case at the redemption prices described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption. In addition, prior to February 15, 2023, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2028 Senior Notes at a “make-whole” redemption price described in the indenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of redemption.
During 2022, the Company made a number of open market repurchases of its 2028 Senior Notes that resulted in the extinguishment of $24.9 million in principal. Total cash consideration paid to repurchase the principal amount outstanding of the 2028 Senior Notes, excluding accrued interest, totaled $21.1 million and the Company recognized a $3.6 million gain on the extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2022.
During 2021, the Company made a number of open market repurchases of its 2028 Senior Notes that resulted in the extinguishment of $173.5 million in principal. Total cash consideration paid to repurchase the principal amount outstanding of the 2028 Senior Notes, excluding accrued interest, totaled $109.3 million and the Company recognized a $62.4 million gain on the extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2021.
2025 Senior Notes
On May 30, 2017, PBF Holding entered into an indenture among Issuers, the Guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar, Transfer Agent and Authenticating Agent, under which the Issuers issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% 2025 Senior Notes. The Issuers received net proceeds of approximately $711.6 million from the offering after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses, all of which was used to fund the cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Secured Notes”), to pay the related redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest for any 2020 Senior Secured Notes which remained outstanding after the completion of the Tender Offer, and for general corporate purposes.
The 2025 Senior Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of PBF Holding’s subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Notes and guarantees are senior unsecured obligations which rank equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 2025 Senior Secured Notes. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank senior in right of payment to the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment thereto. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing or future secured indebtedness (including the Revolving Credit Facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The 2025 Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness and other obligations of the Issuers’ non-guarantor subsidiaries.
PBF Holding has optional redemption rights to repurchase all or a portion of the 2025 Senior Notes at varying prices which are no less than 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The holders of the 2025 Senior Notes have repurchase options exercisable only upon a change in control, certain asset sale transactions, or in event of a default as defined in the indenture. In addition, the 2025 Senior Notes contain customary terms, events of default and covenants for an issuer of non-investment grade debt securities that limit certain types of additional debt, equity issuances, and payments. Many of these covenants will cease to apply or will be modified if the 2025 Senior Notes are rated investment grade.
During 2022, the Company made a number of open market repurchases of its 2025 Senior Notes that resulted in the extinguishment of $5.0 million in principal. Total cash consideration paid to repurchase the principal amount outstanding of the 2025 Senior Notes, excluding accrued interest, totaled $4.8 million and the Company recognized a $0.2 million gain on the extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2022.
During 2021, the Company made a number of open market repurchases of its 2025 Senior Notes that resulted in the extinguishment of $55.5 million in principal.

Revolving Credit Facility
On May 25, 2022, PBF Holding and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as borrowers or subsidiary guarantors, entered into an amendment of its existing asset-based revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), among PBF Holding, Bank of America, National Association as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. Among other things, the Revolving Credit Agreement amended and extended the Revolving Credit Facility through January 2025 and increased the maximum commitment to $4.3 billion through May 2023 (currently set to adjust to $2.75 billion in May 2023 through January 2025). The amendments also redefine certain components of the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) to reflect the existence of two tranches, tranche A which is comprised of existing lenders who have not elected to extend and whose commitments retain the existing maturity date under the existing revolving credit agreement of May 2, 2023 (the “Tranche A Commitments”) and tranche B, which is comprised of existing and new lenders whose commitments have an extended maturity date of January 31, 2025 (the “Tranche B Commitments”). The Tranche A Commitments total $1.55 billion and the Tranche B Commitments total $2.75 billion. The amendments also include changes to incorporate the adoption of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a replacement of LIBOR, changes to joint lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents and other titles, and other changes related to the foregoing. In addition, an accordion feature allows for additional Tranche B Commitments of up to an additional $500.0 million plus an amount equal to the Tranche A Commitments for existing Tranche A lenders.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or at the Term SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Applicable Margin ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% for Alternative Base Rate Loans and from 1.25% to 2.00% for Term SOFR Loans, in each case depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating. In addition, the LC Participation Fee ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% depending on the Company’s corporate credit rating and the Fronting Fee is capped at 0.25%.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants and restrictions on the activities of PBF Holding and its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, liens, negative pledges, guarantees, investments, loans, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, prepayment of other debt, distributions, dividends and the repurchase of capital stock, transactions with affiliates and the ability of PBF Holding to change the nature of its business or its fiscal year; all as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement.
In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement has a financial covenant which requires that if at any time Excess Availability, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of the then existing Borrowing Base and the then aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (the “Financial Covenant Testing Amount”), and (ii) $100.0 million, and until such time as Excess Availability is greater than the Financial Covenant Testing Amount and $100.0 million for a period of 12 or more consecutive days, PBF Holding will not permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement and determined as of the last day of the most recently completed quarter, to be less than 1 to 1.
PBF Holding’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are (a) guaranteed by each of its domestic operating subsidiaries that are not Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (b) secured by a lien on (i) PBF LLC’s equity interest in PBF Holding and (ii) certain assets of PBF Holding and the subsidiary guarantors, including all deposit accounts (other than zero balance accounts, cash collateral accounts, trust accounts and/or payroll accounts, all of which are excluded from the definition of collateral), all accounts receivable, all hydrocarbon inventory (other than the J. Aron Products owned by J. Aron pursuant to the Third Inventory Intermediation Agreement) and to the extent evidencing, governing, securing or otherwise related to the foregoing, all general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights and supporting obligations; and all products and proceeds of the foregoing.
On February 18, 2020, in connection with its entry into a $300.0 million uncommitted receivables purchase facility (the “Receivables Facility”), the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement and entered into a related intercreditor agreement to allow it to sell certain Eligible Receivables (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) derived from the sale of refined product over truck racks. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company sells such receivables to a bank subject to bank approval and certain conditions. The sales of receivables under the Receivables Facility are absolute and irrevocable but subject to certain repurchase obligations under certain circumstances.
On May 7, 2020, the Company further amended the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase PBF Holding’s ability to incur certain secured debt from an amount equal to 10% of its total assets to 20% of its total assets.
There were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022. Outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2021 was $900.0 million. Issued letters of credit were $576.1 million and $380.1 million, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Precious Metal Catalyst Financing Arrangements
Certain subsidiaries of the Company have entered into agreements whereby such subsidiary sold a portion of its precious metal catalysts to a major commercial bank and subsequently refinanced the precious metal catalysts under contractual arrangements. The volume of the precious metal catalysts and the interest rate are fixed over the term of each financing arrangement. At maturity, the Company must repurchase the applicable precious metal catalysts, or otherwise settle its obligation with the counterparty, at its then fair market value. The Company believes that there is a market for precious metal catalysts and that it will attempt to release such catalysts at maturity. The Company treated these transactions as financing arrangements, and the related payments are recorded as interest expense over the agreements’ terms. The Company has elected the fair value option for accounting for its catalyst repurchase obligations as the Company’s liability is directly impacted by the change in value of the underlying precious metal catalysts. The fair value of these repurchase obligations as reflected in the fair value of long-term debt outstanding table below is measured using Level 2 inputs.
Details of the catalyst financing arrangements at each of the Company’s refineries as of December 31, 2022 are included in the following table:

(1) This catalyst financing arrangement is included in Long-term debt as of December 31, 2022 as the Company has the ability and intent to finance this debt through availability under other credit facilities if the catalyst financing arrangement is not renewed at maturity.
In total, aggregate annual catalyst financing fees were approximately $0.2 million and $2.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
