The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”) and Definitive Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Delek US Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to be held on May 5, 2009 are incorporated herein by reference. At the Annual Meeting, the Company will ask its stockholders to approve a one-time option exchange program (the “Option Exchange Program”). Under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, implementation of the Option Exchange Program would constitute a material modification of the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) because the Plan does not expressly contemplate the exchange. The Proxy Statement includes a description of the Option Exchange Program, which will only be commenced, if at all, following approval of the Option Exchange Program by the Company’s stockholders. The Notice and the Proxy Statement do not constitute an offer to holders of our outstanding stock options to exchange those options.
The tender offer described in the Proxy Statement has not yet commenced. At the time the Option Exchange Program has commenced, the Company will provide option holders who are eligible to participate in the exchange with written materials explaining the precise terms and timing of the Option Exchange Program. Persons who are eligible to participate in the Option Exchange Program should read these written materials carefully when they become available because they will contain important information about the Option Exchange Program. The Company will also file these written materials with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of a tender offer statement upon the commencement of the Option Exchange Program. The Company’s stockholders and option holders will be able to obtain these written materials and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Company’s stockholders and option holders may obtain free copies of the documents filed by the Company with the SEC by directing a written request to our Secretary at Delek US Holdings, Inc., 7102 Commerce Way, Brentwood, Tennessee 37027.
