Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) announced preliminary results from its May 21, 2025 annual shareholder meeting regarding director elections. Based on preliminary estimates, shareholders elected two Phillips 66 nominees (Robert W. Pease and Nigel Hearne) and two Elliott Management nominees (Sigmund L. Cornelius and Michael A. Heim). Phillips 66 nominees John E. Lowe and Howard Ungerleider were not elected. The proposal to declassify the Board, while receiving significant support, did not reach the required 80% threshold of outstanding shares. Shareholders rejected Elliott's proposal for annual director resignations. CEO Mark Lashier emphasized the vote reflects confidence in the company's integrated strategy while acknowledging that early results haven't yet shown the full potential of their plan.

Elliott Investment Management, a top-five shareholder in Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX), has presented four independent director nominees - Brian Coffman, Sigmund Cornelius, Michael Heim, and Stacy Nieuwoudt - for election at the company's 2025 Annual Meeting.

The nominees aim to close Phillips 66's performance gap by focusing on operational excellence, improving accountability, and enhancing corporate governance. They express commitment to working constructively with incumbent directors while emphasizing the need for change to unlock shareholder value.

Phillips 66 (PSX) has issued a letter to shareholders addressing key issues ahead of its May 21st Annual Meeting, focusing on three critical matters.

Notable progress in refining operations includes a 15% reduction in Refining Adjusted Controllable Costs from $6.98 to $5.90 per barrel since 2022, with targets to reach $5.50 by 2027. The Board strongly opposes Elliott's proposal to break up the company, arguing that separating the midstream business and selling CPChem interests would expose shareholders to unnecessary risks, tax implications, and potential value destruction. The company has already exceeded its asset sale target, delivering over $5 billion since 2022 versus the promised $3 billion.

Phillips 66 (PSX) issued a statement addressing Elliott Management's proxy contest ahead of its May 21, 2025 Annual Meeting. Under CEO Mark Lashier's leadership, PSX delivered 67% total shareholder returns, outperforming the S&P 500 Energy (45%) and peer median (42%). The company returned over $14 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, growing dividends at a 15% CAGR since 2012. PSX strongly opposes Elliott's proposals to separate Midstream operations and sell CPChem, arguing these would result in significant value destruction through tax leakage and dis-synergies. The company highlights its improving refining performance, with R&M EBITDA outperforming peers by $2.80 per barrel in the Central Corridor. PSX urges shareholders to vote "FOR" its four nominees on the WHITE proxy card and against Elliott's nominees, citing concerns about their ties to Elliott and potential conflicts of interest.

Elliott Investment Management, a top-five shareholder in Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX), has released an investor presentation titled "Streamline 66: The Choice for Shareholders" ahead of the Annual General Meeting on May 21st, 2025.

Elliott has filed a definitive proxy statement and GOLD universal proxy card with the SEC for the upcoming proxy contest. The firm argues that the current PSX leadership supports poor performance and maintains the status quo, while their "Streamline 66" plan would create a stronger Phillips 66.
