Phillips 66 PSX
Elliott's Streamline 66 proxy fight argues Phillips 66 refining is underperforming its potential and that replacing directors with operators like Brian Coffman will unlock value.
Thesis
This EX-99.1 DFAN14A filing bundles proxy-solicitation materials from Elliott's 'Streamline 66' campaign against Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX): a social media post quoting director nominee Brian Coffman, former CEO of Motiva Enterprises, saying he sees 'tremendous capability' in Phillips' refining business, and a screenshot of the streamline66.com press-release page listing supporting communications. The filing urges shareholders to vote the GOLD universal proxy card for Elliott's slate at the 2025 annual meeting. The substantive thesis — that Phillips 66 is underperforming and needs board change to drive operational and strategic improvement — is argued in detail in Elliott's companion presentations rather than in this document itself, which functions as an SEC-mandated disclosure of the social-media and website materials supporting the proxy solicitation.
SCQA
Phillips 66 is a large US refiner whose management, per Elliott, has failed to capture the refining segment's operational potential heading into the 2025 annual meeting.
Incumbent directors lack hands-on refining operator experience, so the current board cannot hold management to account or demand the upgrades a downstream refiner requires.
Shareholders should vote Elliott's GOLD universal proxy card to elect Elliott's director nominees, including veteran refining operator Brian Coffman, at the 2025 Annual Meeting.
Installing operators with refining credibility on the board unlocks the 'tremendous capability' Coffman identifies in Phillips 66 refining, narrowing the performance gap versus peers.
The three reasons
- 1
Phillips 66 refining has 'tremendous capability' that current management is failing to tap
- 2
Elliott nominee Brian Coffman (ex-Motiva CEO) brings operational refining expertise the board lacks
- 3
Board change is needed to unlock value after years of underperformance
Primary demands
- Elect Elliott's slate of director nominees to the Phillips 66 board at the 2025 Annual Meeting
- Vote the GOLD universal proxy card

Notes
Very short (5pp) DFAN14A EX-99.1 bundling two artifacts: (1) a Streamline 66 X/Twitter post featuring a pull-quote card from Elliott nominee Brian Coffman, former Motiva CEO, saying Phillips 66 refining has 'tremendous capability'; (2) a screenshot of the streamline66.com Press Releases index listing Feb-Apr 2025 campaign communications, plus contact/boilerplate page. The document is a regulatory wrapper around campaign ephemera rather than a standalone thesis deck — the actual argument lives in the linked presentations and letters. Custom 'Streamline 66' branding (black/red, bold slab-serif wordmark) is on-point for a campaign microsite. Campaign phase classified as proxy_fight given the explicit GOLD-card CTA and definitive proxy statement reference.
