Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by Delek US Holdings, Inc. on January 17, 2018, reporting events occurring between January 16 and January 23, 2018. The filing details the execution of a Right of First Offer (ROFO) transaction involving the company's own stock, stemming from a 2015 Stock Purchase Agreement with Alon Israel Oil Company, Ltd. ("Alon Israel").
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide comprehensive financial statements, revenue, profit, or cash flow data. The specific financial metrics disclosed relate solely to the stock repurchase transaction:
- Shares Repurchased: 2,000,000 shares of Delek common stock.
- Price Per Share: $37.64.
- Total Transaction Value: Approximately $75.3 million.
- Program Authorization: The transaction was executed under an existing stock repurchase program authorized on December 29, 2016, for up to $150.0 million in aggregate value.
Material Changes
