EXPLANATORY NOTE

On January 22, 2020, Vertex Energy, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report, among other things, the closing, on January 17, 2020, and effective on January 1, 2020, of the transactions contemplated by a Share Purchase and Subscription Agreement (the “Heartland Share Purchase”) by and among HPRM LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which entity was formed as a special purpose vehicle (“Heartland SPV”), Vertex Operating, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Vertex Operating”), and Tensile-Heartland Acquisition Corporation (“Tensile-Heartland”), an affiliate of Tensile Capital Partners Master Fund LP, an investment fund based in San Francisco, California (“Tensile”), and solely for the purposes of a guaranty, the Company. As part of the Heartland Share Purchase and related transactions, the Company transferred ownership of Vertex Refining OH, LLC, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (“Vertex OH”), which owned the Company’s Columbus, Ohio, Heartland facility, which produces a base oil product that is sold to lubricant packagers and distributors, to Heartland SPV and as a result of the sale and purchase of various membership units of Heartland SPV, Heartland SPV is currently owned 35% by Vertex Operating and 65% by Tensile-Heartland. At the time of the filing of the Original Report, the Company stated that it intended to file the required pro forma financial information associated with the Heartland Share Purchase transactions within 4 business days from the date that such Original Report was required to be filed. By this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Report, the Company is amending and restating Item 9.01 thereof to include the required pro forma financial information. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not amend or modify the Original Report, except as to Item 9.01.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

(b) Pro forma.

 

 An unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2019 and unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined statement of operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 9.01 by reference. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives effect to the disposition of Vertex OH in connection with the Heartland Share Purchase and the other transactions contemplated thereby and therewith, as discussed above (collectively, the “Joint Venture Disposition”), as if it had occurred on September 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 give effect to the Joint Venture Disposition as if they had occurred on January 1, 2018. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been if the Joint Venture Disposition had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results or financial position.
