Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On July 16, 2018, PBF Logistics LP (the “Partnership” or “Purchaser”), entered into a definitive Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Crown Point International LLC formerly known as Axeon Specialty Products LLC (“Seller”) and, for limited purposes, its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPI Operations LLC (“CPI Operations”), to purchase CPI Operations, whose assets include a storage facility and other idled assets located on the Delaware River near Paulsboro, New Jersey (the “East Coast Storage Assets”). The East Coast Storage Assets include a storage facility with approximately four million barrels of multi-use storage capacity (of which over 50 percent is heated storage), an Aframax-capable marine facility, a rail facility, a truck terminal, equipment, contracts and other assets.

The acquisition contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on October 1, 2018.

The total consideration for the acquisition of CPI Operations (the “East Coast Storage Assets Acquisition”) is $107.0 million, which is comprised of an initial payment at closing of $75.0 million with the balance payable one year after closing. The purchase price is also subject to other customary purchase price adjustments and there is an annual earn-out for a three-year period based on operating profit as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

The transaction was financed through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Partnership's senior secured revolving credit facility.

The Purchase Agreement is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.
