Phillips 66 PSX
Elliott-commissioned investor survey ranks Phillips 66 last among refining peers on execution and capital allocation, reinforcing the Streamline 66 case for boardroom change.
Thesis
This DFAN14A exhibit reproduces two Streamline 66 social-media posts Elliott filed as proxy solicitation material in its contest at Phillips 66 (PSX). The first post publishes a March 2025 third-party survey of institutional investors showing PSX management rated 2.3 out of 5 on operational execution versus Valero at 3.8 and Marathon at 3.3 — dead last among refining peers on execution, capital-allocation strategy, and delivery against the company's stated value-creation agenda. The second post promotes a Streamline 66 podcast episode with Elliott partner John Pike making the case for the urgency of boardroom change, arguing that the Streamline 66 plan is the path to unlocking shareholder value and that "change is going to start there." The filing is a micro-piece of Elliott's broader proxy-fight communications rather than a standalone thesis document.
SCQA
Phillips 66 is one of the largest U.S. refiners, measured by investors against peers Valero and Marathon on execution and capital-allocation delivery against a stated value-creation agenda.
An Elliott-commissioned March 2025 survey ranks PSX management last — 2.3 vs. 3.8 (Valero) and 3.3 (Marathon) on operational execution — evidencing persistent underperformance that Elliott attributes to the incumbent board.
Replace directors with Elliott's slate and adopt the Streamline 66 plan; boardroom change is framed as where "change is going to start."
Not quantified in this filing; the broader Streamline 66 campaign argues boardroom change unlocks shareholder value by closing the peer execution gap.
The three reasons
- 1
Investors rate Phillips 66 management 2.3/5 on operational execution — last vs. peers

Valero (3.8) and Marathon (3.3) materially outrank PSX on execution
- 3
Boardroom change is the path to unlocking shareholder value
Primary demands
- Replace incumbent directors with Elliott nominees

Notes
DFAN14A exhibit (EX-99.1) reproducing two @streamline66 X/Twitter posts filed as soliciting material in Elliott's proxy fight at Phillips 66. Page 1 is a section divider ("SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS"); page 2 shows the peer-gap execution-survey image (Streamline 66 red/white branding); page 3 promotes a Streamline 66 Podcast episode with Elliott partner John Pike. John Pike is named but as a campaign spokesperson, not a villain — no management individual is called out by name in this filing. Document is micro-content within the broader Streamline 66 campaign; use thesis_summary cautiously as it describes the filing, not a full investment thesis.
