Delek US Holdings, Inc. — Form 8-K Summary
Reporting context: The 8-K reports a financing transaction announced September 24, 2026 and completed September 29, 2026. It is not a periodic earnings filing and provides no operating results for a fiscal reporting period.
Financing and key financial terms
- Delek issued $460 million aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due November 1, 2031. The notes have no regular interest and do not accrete principal; special interest may be payable in specified circumstances.
- The notes are senior unsecured obligations, guaranteed by subsidiaries that guarantee the company’s term loan and asset-based revolving credit facilities.
- Net proceeds after initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions were $449.1 million. A portion funded capped call transactions costing approximately $34.3 million; the remainder is for general corporate purposes, including partial repayment of the term loan facility, accrued interest, fees and expenses. The amount used to repay debt is not specified.
- The initial conversion rate is 11.7219 shares per $1,000 principal amount, equivalent to an approximately $85.31 conversion price and a 27.5% premium to the September 24 stock price of $66.91. Initially, up to 6,874,884 shares may be issued based on the maximum conversion rate, subject to adjustment.
- Capped calls cover the shares initially underlying the notes and are intended to reduce potential dilution or offset certain conversion-related cash payments, subject to a cap. The initial cap price is approximately $117.09 per share.
Material changes and investor implications
- The offering adds $460 million of convertible debt while providing for partial repayment of existing term-loan borrowings. The filing does not state the resulting net change in total debt, leverage, or interest expense.
- Holders generally may convert before August 1, 2031 only under specified stock-price, trading-price, redemption, or corporate-event conditions; conversion is generally permitted from August 1, 2031 until shortly before maturity.
- The company may not redeem the notes before November 6, 2029, except for a cleanup redemption. Later optional redemption is subject to a stock-price threshold and other conditions. Holders may require repurchase at principal plus accrued unpaid interest following a qualifying fundamental change.
Outlook, risks and contingencies
The filing provides no earnings guidance, operating outlook, margin, cash-flow, or liquidity forecast. Key contingencies include potential share dilution on conversion, capped-call protection only up to its cap, fundamental-change repurchase obligations, and events of default that can accelerate repayment. Cross-default provisions apply to specified borrowed indebtedness exceeding $200 million in aggregate, subject to the indenture’s terms and notice and cure provisions.
