Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 1, 2016, Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) issued a press release announcing its acquisition of crude oil tankage located at HollyFrontier Corporation’s (“HollyFrontier”) Tulsa refinery from an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. for $39.5 million in cash. In connection with the closing of the acquisition, HollyFrontier and Holly Energy expect to enter into a 10-year throughput agreement containing minimum quarterly volume commitments from HollyFrontier. A copy of the Partnership’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein in its entirety.
The information contained in, or incorporated into, this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
The following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The statements in this Form 8-K relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations. These statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions and those of our general partner using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although we and our general partner believe that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. All statements concerning our expectations for future results of operations are based on forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to risks and uncertainties with respect to the actual quantities of petroleum products and crude oil shipped on our pipelines and/or terminalled, stored and throughput in our terminals; the economic viability of HollyFrontier Corporation, Alon USA, Inc. and our other customers; the demand for refined petroleum products in markets we serve; our ability to purchase and integrate future acquired operations; our ability to complete previously announced or contemplated acquisitions; the availability and cost of additional debt and equity financing; the possibility of reductions in production or shutdowns at refineries utilizing our pipeline and terminal facilities; the effects of current and future government regulations and policies; our operational efficiency in carrying out routine operations and capital construction projects; the possibility of terrorist attacks and the consequences of any such attacks; general economic conditions; and other financial, operations and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
