Closing Date
) and effective as of approximately 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Merger Agreement
), dated as of November 8, 2017, by and among, Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Parent

Alon USA Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and an indirect, partially owned subsidiary of Parent (
MLP
), Alon USA Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (

Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
The text set forth under Introductory Note above is incorporated herein by reference.
On the Closing Date, Parent completed the acquisition of MLP through the Merger.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each common unit representing limited partnership interests in MLP other than common units owned by Parent and its affiliates (each, a
MLP Public Unit
) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into, and became exchangeable for, 0.4900 of a share of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Parent shares and each such MLP Public Unit was canceled and retired and ceased to exist (each, a
Parent Share
and such ratio, the
Exchange Ratio
). Parent did not issue any fractional Parent Shares in the Merger, but if the Exchange Ratio resulted in a holder of MLP Public Units being entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share, such fractional interest was rounded up to the nearest whole Parent Share.
The issuance of Parent Shares in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
Securities Act
) pursuant to Parents Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Reg No. (333-222014)), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) on January 8, 2018. The joint consent statement/prospectus (the
Joint Consent Statement/Prospectus
) included in the registration statement contains additional information about the Merger and incorporates by reference additional information about the Merger from Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by MLP and Parent and incorporated by reference into the Joint Consent Statement/Prospectus.

Item 3.03
Material Modification to the Rights of Security Holders
The information set forth in the Introductory Note is incorporated herein by reference.
At the effective time of the merger, each MLP Public Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into, and became exchangeable for, 0.4900 of a Parent Share. Parent did not issue any fractional Parent Shares in the Merger, but if the Exchange Ratio resulted in a holder of MLP Public Units being entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share, such fractional interest was rounded up to the nearest whole Parent Share.
