A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated in this Item 7.01 in its entirety.
The information contained in, or incorporated into, this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
The following is a “safe harbor” statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: The statements contained herein and in the press release relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are based on the Corporation’s beliefs and assumptions using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although the Corporation believes that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Corporation cannot give assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors including, but not limited to:
•
risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers of refined petroleum products in HollyFrontier's markets;
•
the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products;
•
the spread between market prices for refined products and market prices for crude oil;
•
the possibility of constraints on the transportation of refined products;
•
the possibility of inefficiencies, curtailments or shutdowns in refinery operations or pipelines;
•
effects of governmental and environmental regulations and policies;
•
the availability and cost of financing to HollyFrontier;
•
the effectiveness of HollyFrontier's capital investments and marketing strategies;
•
HollyFrontier's efficiency in carrying out construction projects;
•
the ability of HollyFrontier to acquire refined product operations or pipeline and terminal operations on acceptable terms and to integrate any future acquired operations;
•
the possibility of terrorist attacks and the consequences of any such attacks;
•
general economic conditions; and
•
other financial, operational and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in HollyFrontier's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, HollyFrontier undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
