Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 21, 2009, Holly Corporation (the Company) and certain of the Companys existing
subsidiaries (the Guarantors) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with
UBS Securities LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers named therein (the Initial
Purchasers), by which the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchasers agreed to
purchase, an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of the Companys existing 9.875%
senior notes due 2017 (the Notes) in accordance with a private placement conducted pursuant to
Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Offering). The Offering is
expected to close on October 26, 2009, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering of approximately
$99.5 million after estimated expenses to fund the cash portion of the purchase price for the pending acquisition of a refinery
in Tulsa, Oklahoma from Sinclair Tulsa Refining Company (the Sinclair Refinery) and a portion of
the purchase price for the related inventory. If the acquisition of the Sinclair Refinery does not
close, the Company will use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes,
including working capital, capital expenditures and possible future acquisitions. Interest on the
Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2009.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and
indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Company and the Guarantors, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain
liabilities.
A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. The foregoing summary does
not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement.
