Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy”) indirectly owns a majority of the common units representing limited partner interests in CVR Refining, LP (the “Partnership”). In addition, CVR Energy also indirectly owns CVR Refining GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”) and CVR Refining Holdings, LLC (“CVR Refining Holdings”).

Underwriting Agreement

On June 25, 2014, the Partnership entered into an Underwriting Agreement by and among the Partnership, the General Partner, CVR Refining Holdings on one hand, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA), LLC as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), on the other hand, relating to the sale of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”). The Underwriting Agreement provides for the offer and sale (the “Offering”) by the Partnership, and purchase by the Underwriters, of 6,500,000 Common Units at a price of $25.25 per Common Unit, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership and CVR Refining Holdings also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate additional 975,000 Common Units. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise their option, the Partnership will sell up to the first 589,100 Common Units and CVR Refining Holdings will sell up to 385,900 Common Units if the option is exercised for more than 589,100 Common Units.

The Partnership will use the net proceeds of the Offering to redeem 6,500,000 Common Units held by CVR Refining Holdings. If the Partnership sells any additional Common Units pursuant to the Underwriters’ exercise of their option, the Partnership will use the net proceeds therefrom to redeem additional Common Units from CVR Refining Holdings equal to the number of such Common Units purchased by the underwriters from the Partnership.
   
The material terms of the Offering are described in a prospectus supplement, dated June 25, 2014 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), filed by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 26, 2014, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Offering is registered with the Commission pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-196995), filed by the Partnership on June 24, 2014.
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. The Partnership, the General Partner and CVR Refining Holdings have agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
 
Relationships

Each of the Partnership, the General Partner and CVR Refining Holdings is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CVR Energy. As a result, certain individuals, including officers and directors of the General Partner or CVR Energy, serve as officers and/or directors of more than one of such other entities.
 
Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have in the past, and may in the future, perform investment banking, commercial banking, advisory and other services for the Partnership and its affiliates from time to time for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees and expenses.
 
As more fully described in the Prospectus Supplement, immediately before this Offering, CVR Refining Holdings directly or indirectly owned 104,790,764 Common Units, representing an approximate 71% limited partner interest in the Partnership. Following this Offering, CVR Refining Holdings will own 98,290,764 Common Units, or 97,315,764 Common Units if the underwriters exercise in full their option, representing an approximate 67% or 66% limited partner interest in the Partnership, respectively.
