Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the company's website (www.deleklogistics.com) for the full text of the presentation materials.
- Assess the current financial health and creditworthiness of Delek US Holdings, Inc., given the disclosed substantial dependence on this affiliate.
- Monitor regulatory updates from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that may impact operations.
- Check subsequent filings for actual financial results, as this 8-K contains no historical financial data.
