Following the restructuring, Vertex will operate as a privately-held company under the ownership of certain lenders, including funds managed by BlackRock Financial Management, Highbridge Capital Management, Whitebox Advisors, and CrowdOut Capital.

In conventional service, the hydrocracker uses vacuum gas oil (VGO) as feedstock to produce additional volumes of higher-value refined products, including gasoline and diesel. The Mobile Refinery has maintained its renewable fuels production capabilities for potential future market demands.
Benjamin P. Cowart, President and CEO of Vertex Energy, emphasized the team's operational excellence in safely redeploying the asset while preserving future renewable optionality. The company's focus now shifts to further business optimization for sustained performance and long-term growth.
