On July 31, 2024, Alon Brands, Inc. (“Alon”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK) (“Delek”), entered into a definitive equity purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Emprex Proximity LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Emprex”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Alon has agreed to sell, and Emprex has agreed to purchase, 100% of the equity interests in Alon’s direct and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries Southwest Convenience Stores, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, Skinny’s LLC, a Texas limited liability company, GTS Licensing Company, Inc., a Texas corporation, and Alon Financial Services, Inc., a Texas corporation (collectively the “Acquired Entities”) for cash consideration of $385 million (including the purchase of inventories) (the “Transaction”). The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) is currently anticipated to occur by the end of 2024, subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the receipt of required governmental and other third party approvals (or the termination or expiration of applicable waiting periods).
The Acquired Entities own and operate 249 retail fuel and convenience stores (the “Retail Stores”) under the DK brand. The Retail Stores are located in Texas, New Mexico, and Arkansas. The Transaction includes a long-term agreement whereby Delek will sell to Emprex certain motor fuel products for use at the Retail Stores for 10 years.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the closing of the Transaction and the fulfillment of conditions to the closing. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following risks and uncertainties: Alon’s and Emprex’s ability to consummate the Transaction and the fulfillment of conditions to the closing, including, but not limited to, the receipt of required governmental and other third party approvals.
