Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously announced, on November 16, 2020, Trecora Resources (the "Company") received approximately $14.6 million, including interest, from the Internal Revenue Service, which constitutes the first of two previously announced U.S. income tax refunds requested by the Company under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act").

The CARES Act provides stimulus measures to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which include the ability to defer payment for employer payroll taxes, utilize net operating loss ("NOL") carrybacks, increase the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, technical corrections to allow accelerated tax depreciation on qualified improvement property, as well as allowing qualified businesses to apply for loans and grants.

On April 30, 2020, the Company filed its first NOL refund claim for approximately $14.1 million and on June 30, 2020, it filed its second and final refund claim for approximately $2.4 million.

A copy of the press release announcing the receipt of this tax refund is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
