I am guessing there aren't many shares being traded. Looking for this to spike back toward $40 again next quarter.

Oil should be back in focus with new administration.

I wonder if foreign oil will have increased tariffs.

Institutional ownership is extremely high on this one. With price/book at 1.03, this should make a good acquisition for someone's petrol portfolio. Looks like they need some efficiency experts to clean up operations to get the profits up.

Strange, that there isn't much comment on this stock. Well kept secret?

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in the rights offering. The subscription rights will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 14, 2016 (unless extended).

The Company will offer a number of shares of its common stock in the rights offering, inclusive of the over-subscription privilege, representing approximately $50 million of gross proceeds. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the rights offering to prepay or repay its 2.5% convertible subordinated bridge notes.

The rights offering will be made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The rights offering will be made solely by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was filed with the SEC as part of the registration statement. Additional information regarding the rights offering will be set forth in the prospectus.

Par Secures Financing for Acquisition (7/11/14)

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Par Petroleum Corporation (OTCQB: “PARR”) announced today that it had finalized the terms of a $125 million debt facility consisting of a $50 million Term Loan and a $75 million Bridge Loan. The Bridge Loan will provide back-up financing for the Company’s pending acquisition of Koko’oha Investments, Inc. Koko’oha owns Mid Pac Petroleum LLC which distributes gasoline and diesel products throughout Hawaii through more than 80 sites and four terminals.

Bridge and Term Loan Facilities

The Term Loan replaced the Tranche B Loan (approximately $34.5 million outstanding at closing) and increased loan availability to $50 million. The incremental available proceeds of the Term Loan will be used to pay transaction costs related to the financing, to fund deposits due under the merger agreement with Koko’oha, to fund permitted acquisitions (including the acquisition of Koko’oha) and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan will bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable in cash or at a rate equal to 12% per annum payable in kind, at the option of the Company, and matures in July 2018.

The proceeds of the Bridge Loan, up to $75 million, will be available in a single draw and may be used by the Company solely to pay the cash consideration required under the merger agreement with Koko’oha and to pay transaction costs related to the credit facilities and the merger agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Bridge Loan will bear interest at 9% per annum until June 30, 2015, payable in kind by adding interest due to the outstanding principal. From and after July 1, 2015, until June 30, 2016, interest will be payable in cash at 11% per annum and will increase every three months thereafter at a rate of .5% per annum; provided that the Company may elect to pay up to 50% of the interest in kind at a rate per annum of .75% in excess of the then applicable cash interest rate. From and after July 1, 2016, interest will be payable in cash at 13% per annum and will increase every three months thereafter at a rate of .5% per annum until maturity. The Bridge Loan will mature (i) if the acquisition does not occur, on July 11, 2015 or (ii) if the acquisition is consummated, on July 11, 2017.

Either credit facility may be prepaid at any time, subject to an exit fee. Both facilities are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has agreed to pay certain fees, including commitment fees and exit fees. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various and customary affirmative and negative covenants. However, the Company is not required to comply with any financial maintenance covenants.

Later today, the Company expects to file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting the finalization of the credit facility under Item 2.03. Please see the Form 8-K for additional details.

About Mid Pac

On June 2, 2014 Par Petroleum and a wholly owned subsidiary created for purposes of the acquisition entered into a Merger Agreement with Koko’oha, which owns 100% of Mid Pac Petroleum. Upon consummation of the merger, Mid Pac will become a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Par Petroleum. The transaction is expected to close before year end and is currently under regulatory review pursuant to various state and federal antitrust regulations.

Mid Pac distributes gasoline and diesel through over 80 locations across the State of Hawaii primarily under the ’76 brand. Mid Pac will offer HIE access to the Kauai marketplace through Mid Pac’s Kauai terminal and network of 3 retail and 8 card lock sites. In addition, Mid Pac is the fee owner of 22 of the retail sites, 2 terminals and office space in downtown Honolulu.

“The Mid Pac acquisition is a key component of growing our on-island market share and minimizing exports,” said Will Monteleone, Par’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we also believe there are synergies to be achieved by combining HIE’s and Mic Pac’s logistical system and assets.”

Operations Update and Outlook

Par also announced today that its outlook for the second quarter and second half of 2014 has been negatively impacted, predominately by lower than expected crack spreads in the Singapore markets. The Singapore – Brent 4:1:2:1 index averaged $5.23 / bbl during the second quarter of 2014, the lowest level since the fourth quarter of 2010, and was primarily impacted by softer jet fuel pricing and increased crude costs partially driven by geo-political unrest. To the extent these negative trends continue into the second half of the year, we believe our results will be negatively impacted compared to our prior expectations. Although the acquisition of Mid Pac is scheduled to close prior to year end, the expected accretive impact will not be felt until calendar year 2015.

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in the rights offering.

The Company will offer a number of shares of its common stock in the rights offering, inclusive of the over-subscription privilege, representing approximately $100 million of gross proceeds. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the rights offering to finance potential acquisitions, including the previously announced pending acquisition of Koko’oha Investments, Inc., and for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The rights offering will be made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on July 7, 2014. The rights offering will be made solely by means of a prospectus and prospectus supplement meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to be filed with the SEC.

Will the Parr Refinery be closed by 2020?

Hawaii refineries could close by 2020, task force report says

One or both of Hawaii's two refineries are likely to close by 2020 because of the significant challenges they face as demand decreases and the state's demand for cleaner sources of energy increases, according to an interim report from the state's refinery task force.

The state's progress in adopting renewable energy could reduce the need for fossil fuels by as much as 50 percent by 2020 was among the findings contained in the report submitted to Gov. Neil Abercrombie.

Abercrombie created the task force in February to assess the impact of a potential closure of the Tesoro refinery, which was recently purchased by Texas-based Par Petroleum.

“The work of the task force is critical to enabling the state to bridge the period to a new energy ecosystem and helping to ensure stable refinery supply during the transition,” Richard Lim, director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, who oversees the task force, said in a statement. “This joint effort of public and private parties demonstrates a cohesive collaboration in addressing current and future challenges to Hawaii’s fuels ecosystem.”

There are many reasons why *NOBODY* else would want it, including Chevron who would have had a statewide monopoly. Valero was ready to write refinery off and close it permanently. Chevron, who owns second largest refinery HI state, is trying to sell that refinery as well I believe...

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Par Petroleum Corporation (OTCBB:PARR) announced today that it has reached a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, LLC from Tesoro Corporation. Tesoro Hawaii, LLC is an owner of refining, retail and distribution assets located in Hawaii. Following the closing, the retail stations will remain under the Tesoro brand.

Under the terms of the agreement, Par Petroleum, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, will purchase all outstanding membership interests of Tesoro Hawaii, LLC for $75 million in cash, plus net working capital and the market value of inventory at closing. Also included in the purchase price is an earn-out arrangement of up to $40 million payable over three years contingent on certain performance metrics. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of Par Petroleum. The acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including the successful restart of the refinery and the receipt of required governmental approvals. The transaction is currently expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2013.

“This is a great fit for Par Petroleum, and we are pleased to make a long-term investment in Hawaii’s economy,” said Will Monteleone, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Par Petroleum. “We have found in Tesoro Hawaii a great company with outstanding assets and a superb management team and employee base. We aim to serve customers through operational excellence and enhance value for the communities we serve with a focus on safety, environmental stewardship and employee commitment.”

The acquisition is expected to be financed by the issuance of $200 million of common stock; an ABL revolving credit facility of up to $125 million led by Deutsche Bank; a crude supply and inventory intermediation facility provided by Barclays; and a term loan and revolving credit facility secured by certain retail assets led by the Bank of Hawaii. Par has reached agreement with a group of equity investors to purchase all of the common stock to be issued at closing at a share price of $1.39. The equity investor group is led by existing shareholders Zell Credit Opportunities Fund and Whitebox Advisors.

For the full year 2012, Tesoro Hawaii reported gross refining margin of $174 million on throughput of 68,000 barrels of crude per day. First quarter 2013 gross refining margin was $28 million on throughput of 67,000 barrels of crude per day.

The new refining subsidiary will operate as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of Par Petroleum and will be headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Par Petroleum intends to appoint William Haywood as President of its new refining subsidiary. Mr. Haywood has more than 30 years of experience in domestic and international energy, and was most recently Senior Vice President of Refining for Tesoro. Also in conjunction with the Tesoro Hawaii transaction, Par Petroleum has named Peter Coxon as Par Petroleum's Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Coxon has nearly 30 years of experience in the transportation and energy industries. He currently serves as President of Texadian Energy, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Par Petroleum.

Piceance Energy, LLC was formed and capitalized in August of 2012 when the Company and Laramie Energy II, LLC contributed their respective oil and natural gas assets, surface real estate, and other related assets located in the Piceance Basin geologic province of Colorado to the joint venture entity. These assets are more specifically located within Mesa and Garfield Counties of Colorado and are within an approximate 10-mile radius of the heart of the Piceance Basin.

Texadian Energy sources, markets, transports and distributes crude petroleum-based energy products. With significant logistics capability in historical pipeline shipping status, a rail car fleet, and expertise in contracted chartering of tows and barges, Texadian has a long term competitive advantage in moving crude oil from land locked locations in the Western U.S. and Canada to the refining hubs in the Midwest, the Gulf Coast, and the East Coast. This comprehensive ability to efficiently handle crude oil transport will be a major advantage in the expanded energy product marketing and distribution activity that the company undertakes as Texadian Energy. www.par-petro.com

I hear ya. I'll follow this for awhile and do some digging. I lost a bundle on Sandridge so this sector worries me, tho I made a ton on Cheniere(CQP) which I still own a lot of, and did very well with a series of up and down trades on CHK as Aubrey blew his foot off, then the company recovered despite his antics.

Keep your eye on CLNE if it gets below $11... it always makes a subsequent run back to $30. Also BLDP which is showing recovery pains that could signal a rebirth if the Canadian government refocuses on energy technology that drove it over $100 about 10 years ago.

Yah, I read that but uncovered something a while ago where I think they transferred some of Kirk's $680M into $PARR. I love & hate watching this one. I didn't have the guts to get into a grey sheet at $.21 and when they uplisted last month at $1 my powder was and still is invested elsewhere.

It's at $1.75 with nearly 100% upticks every day & I see single trades as large as $480,000 come through. Hardly an every day occurrence with a Pinky!! lol! The own Laramie oil & a few other acquisitions and it looks to me like they are sneaking around under Delta's shareholders or someone's noses. Why else be grey & pink? Hmmm,......it's not like they can't afford to report with a $240M line of credit, they choose not to report which means they are hiding.

Also the CEO used to work for one of the trillion dollar hedge funds that is one of the three major shareholders. This doesn't belong down here either. Rule of thumb is if a pinky sheets has hundreds of millions of dollars on a filing that doesn't have a negative sign in front, it isn't going to be here very long.

JT., I believe Kirk Kerkorian/Tracinda is actually suing Delta for the BK that wiped out his interests, and that his suit if successful could sink Par for good. It's a suit, so who knows the outcome.

As Tom Cruise once said: "Risky Business."
