Phillips 66 PSX
Phillips 66 is underperforming under a board that obfuscates results; elect Elliott's four nominees on the GOLD card to replicate the Marathon playbook and unlock value.
Thesis
This SEC filing compiles Elliott's Streamline 66 soliciting materials — social media posts and website captures — in the final stretch before the May 21, 2025 Phillips 66 annual meeting. The core argument: PSX is an underperforming energy conglomerate whose board has resorted to 'selective disclosure' and 'creative representation' of the facts, as flagged by proxy advisors ISS and Glass Lewis, both of whom recommend shareholders back Elliott's slate. Elliott invokes its prior Marathon Petroleum campaign — which produced 150% peer outperformance — as the template. The ask is simple and repeated across every tile: vote the GOLD universal proxy card for Brian Coffman, Sigmund Cornelius, Michael Heim, and Stacy Nieuwoudt to install a board capable of driving operational change.
SCQA
Phillips 66 is a diversified energy conglomerate whose board faces a contested election at the May 21, 2025 annual meeting, with Elliott soliciting support for four independent director nominees.
PSX has underperformed peers, and both ISS and Glass Lewis characterize management's disclosures as selective, unverifiable, and 'disconnected from reality,' validating Elliott's case for urgent board change.
Shareholders should vote the GOLD universal proxy card for Elliott's four nominees — Coffman, Cornelius, Heim, and Nieuwoudt — to install an upgraded, accountable board.
The Marathon Petroleum precedent, where Elliott-driven change produced 150% peer outperformance, is offered as the quantitative template for the upside available at PSX.
The three reasons
- 1
ISS and Glass Lewis both back Elliott's case for board change at PSX
- 2
Elliott's Marathon Petroleum campaign drove 150% peer outperformance — same playbook here
- 3
PSX management uses 'selective disclosure' and 'creative representation' of results
Primary demands
- Elect all four Elliott director nominees (Coffman, Cornelius, Heim, Nieuwoudt) to the Phillips 66 board
- Vote the GOLD universal proxy card by the May 21, 2025 Annual Meeting
- Replace entrenched board to drive operational change and unlock shareholder value

Notes
DFAN14A additional soliciting material filed during the active proxy fight — a compilation of Streamline 66 social media posts (pages 2-5) and website screenshots (pages 7-11) rather than a standalone thesis deck. Strong 'Streamline 66' brand identity (yellow/black/red, bold sans-serif) worth noting for the campaign-craft swipe file. Filing leans heavily on third-party validation (ISS, Glass Lewis) and the Marathon Petroleum precedent as the rhetorical anchors. No stake disclosed in this document.
