Item 8.01. Other Events

On December 9, 2021, in connection with its previously-announced share repurchase program, Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) established a prearranged trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to repurchase up to $20 million worth of its common stock. The Rule 10b5-1 trading plan will permit Company common stock to be repurchased at times when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The Rule 10b5-1 trading plan will be administered by an independent broker and will be subject to preset price, volume, and timing restrictions set forth in the plan.

Repurchases of shares under the Rule 10b5-1 plan are also intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Since repurchases under the plan are subject to certain restrictions, there is no guarantee as to the number of shares, if any, that will be repurchased under the plan, and the Company may suspend or terminate the plan at any time. Any repurchases under the Rule 10b5-1 plan will be disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports under the Exchange Act.

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding potential repurchases by the Company of its common stock. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, including changes in price and volume and the volatility of the Company’s common stock; adverse developments affecting either or both of prices and trading of the Company’s securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange; and unexpected or unplanned developments with respect to the Company’s liquidity. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, including those contained in this report. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with the Company, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s SEC filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10Q.
