PBF Energy Announces Director Resignation
PARSIPPANY, NJ – June 27, 2014 – PBF Energy Inc. (NYSE: PBF) announced today that Martin J. Brand, a Managing Director with Blackstone, has resigned from PBF Energy’s board of directors effective June 26, 2014, following a reduction in Blackstone’s holdings in PBF Energy, and its subsidiaries, through a secondary offering which closed on June 17, 2014.
Since 2008, Mr. Brand, along with David Foley, has led Blackstone’s investment in PBF Energy and has provided valuable insight and assistance as the company has acquired assets and expanded as a company.
PBF Energy’s Executive Chairman, Thomas D. O’Malley, said, "We thank Martin for his service to PBF Energy and wish him success in his future endeavors. Blackstone has been an appreciated and committed investor for PBF, and with its support we have grown from a start-up organization into an established independent refiner with a separate logistics company, both with bright futures."
