EL DORADO REFINERY PRODUCTION UPDATE

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. June 17, 2011 — Delek US Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DK), a diversified energy company with assets in the petroleum refining, marketing and retail industries, today provided an update on production levels at its El Dorado, Arkansas refinery.

As previously reported, a pipeline supplying significant quantities of crude oil to the El Dorado refinery temporarily suspended shipments due to flooding along the Mississippi River in early May 2011. Consequently, the refinery began operating at reduced rates beginning on May 8, 2011. The pipeline recently returned to service and has resumed shipments of crude oil to the El Dorado refinery. As a result, the refinery returned to normal operating rates on June 15, 2011.
