ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Who is soliciting my vote?

The Board of Directors of Phillips 66, which we may refer to as the Board, is soliciting proxies to be voted at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Phillips 66, which we refer to as the Annual Meeting.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote my shares?

The recommendation of the Board of Directors can be found with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board of Directors recommends a vote:

 

   

FOR the Board’s proposal to elect nominated Directors

 

   

FOR the Board’s proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for Phillips 66 for fiscal year 2014

 

   

FOR the advisory (non-binding) approval of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers

 

   

AGAINST the stockholder proposal

Unless you give other instructions on the proxy card you return, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

Who is entitled to vote?

You may vote if you were the record owner of Phillips 66 common stock as of the close of business on March 14, 2014, the record date established by the Board of Directors. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. As of March 14, 2014, we had 567,198,289 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. There is no cumulative voting.

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

In order for us to hold our meeting, holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 14, 2014, must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy by Internet, telephone or mail. Abstentions and broker non-votes will also be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the meeting.

What is a broker non-vote?

Applicable rules permit brokers to vote shares held for the benefit of their clients on routine matters when the brokers have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote those shares. The ratification of an independent auditor is an example of a routine matter on which brokers may vote in this manner. Brokers may not vote shares held for the benefit of

Table of Contents

their clients on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors, proposals relating to executive compensation and proposals to amend certificates of incorporation and certain other corporate governance changes, unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote those shares. Shares that are not voted by brokers on non-routine matters are called broker non-votes.

How many votes are needed to approve each of the proposals?

Each of the director nominees requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting. All other proposals submitted require the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of those shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote.

How do I vote?

You can vote either in person at the meeting or by proxy.

This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Company’s 2013 Summary Annual Report to Stockholders are being made available to the Company’s stockholders on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com through the notice and access process. The Company’s 2013 consolidated financial statements and report of independent registered public accounting firm, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, information concerning the quarterly financial data for the past two fiscal years, and other information are provided in Appendix A to this proxy statement.

To vote by proxy, you must do one of the following:

 

   

Vote over the Internet (instructions are on the proxy card)

 

   

Vote by telephone (instructions are on the proxy card)

 

   

If you elected to receive a hard copy of your proxy materials, fill out the enclosed proxy card, date and sign it, and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope

If you hold your Phillips 66 stock in a brokerage account (that is, in “street name”), your ability to vote by telephone or over the Internet depends on your broker’s voting process. Please follow the directions on your proxy card or voter instruction form carefully.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by proxy. If you plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting and you hold your Phillips 66 stock in street name, you must obtain a proxy from your broker and bring that proxy to the meeting.

How do I vote if I hold my stock through a Phillips 66 employee benefit plan?

If you hold your stock through a Phillips 66 employee benefit plan, you must either:

 

   

Vote over the Internet (instructions are in the email sent to you or on the notice and access form)

 

   

Vote by telephone (instructions are on the notice and access form)

 

   

If you elected to receive a hard copy of your proxy materials, fill out the enclosed voting instruction form, date and sign it, and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope

Table of Contents

You will receive a separate voting instruction form for each employee benefit plan in which you hold Phillips 66 stock. Please pay close attention to the deadline for returning your voting instruction form to the plan trustee. The voting deadline for each plan is set forth on the voting instruction form. Please note that different plans may have different deadlines.

How can I revoke my proxy?

You can revoke your proxy by sending written notice of revocation of your proxy to our Corporate Secretary so that it is received prior to the close of business on May 6, 2014.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. You can change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting, which will void any earlier vote. You can change your vote by:

 

   

Voting again by telephone or over the Internet prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 6, 2014

 

   

Signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us prior to the meeting

 

   

Voting again at the meeting

If you hold your Phillips 66 stock in street name, you must contact your broker to obtain information regarding changing your voting instructions.

Who counts the votes?

We have hired Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to count the votes represented by proxies and cast by ballot, and Jim Gaughan of Carl T. Hagberg and Associates has been appointed to act as Inspector of Election.

Will my shares be voted if I don’t provide my proxy and don’t attend the Annual Meeting?

For shares held in your name, if you do not provide a proxy or vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, those shares will not be voted.

If you hold shares in street name, your broker may be able to vote those shares for certain “routine” matters even if you do not provide the broker with voting instructions. Only the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2014 is considered to be a routine matter.

If you do not give your broker instructions on how to vote your shares, the broker will return the proxy card without voting on proposals not considered “routine.” This is a broker non-vote. Without instructions from you, the broker may not vote on any proposals other than the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2014.

How are votes counted?

For all proposals, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” If you vote to “ABSTAIN” on the election of directors, it is not considered as a vote cast and, therefore, your vote will reduce the number, but not the percentage, of affirmative votes needed to elect the nominees. If you vote to “ABSTAIN” on the other proposals, your shares are still considered as present and entitled to vote and, therefore, your abstention has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.”

Table of Contents

What if I return my proxy but don’t vote for some of the matters listed on my proxy card?

If you return a signed proxy card without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” the director nominees listed on the card, “FOR” the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for Phillips 66 for fiscal year 2014, “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, and “AGAINST” the stockholder proposal.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We are not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in your proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment. Discretionary authority to vote on other matters is included in the proxy.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting is open to all holders of Phillips 66 common stock. Each stockholder is permitted to bring one guest. No cameras, recording equipment, large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted in the Annual Meeting, and security measures will be in effect to provide for the safety of attendees.

Do I need a ticket to attend the Annual Meeting?

Yes, you will need an admission ticket or proof of ownership of Phillips 66 stock to enter the meeting. If your shares are registered in your name, you will find an admission ticket attached to the proxy card sent to you. If your shares are held in the name of your broker or bank or you received your materials electronically, you will need to bring evidence of your stock ownership, such as your most recent brokerage statement. All stockholders will be required to present valid picture identification. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE VALID PICTURE IDENTIFICATION AND EITHER AN ADMISSION TICKET OR PROOF THAT YOU OWN PHILLIPS 66 STOCK, YOU MAY NOT BE ADMITTED INTO THE MEETING.

How can I access the Phillips 66 proxy materials and annual report electronically?

This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and the Company’s 2013 Summary Annual Report are being made available to the Company’s stockholders on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com through the notice and access process. Most stockholders can elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet instead of receiving paper copies in the mail.

If you own Phillips 66 stock in your name, you can choose this option, and help conserve resources and save the cost of producing and mailing these documents, by checking the box for electronic delivery on your proxy card or by following the instructions provided when you vote by telephone or over the Internet. If you hold your Phillips 66 stock through a bank, broker or other holder of record, please refer to the information provided by that entity for instructions on how to elect to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet.

If you choose to view future proxy statements and annual reports over the Internet, you will receive a Notice of Internet Availability next year containing the Internet address to use to access our proxy statement and annual report. Your choice will remain in effect unless you change your

election following the receipt of a Notice of Internet Availability. You do not have to elect Internet access each year. If you later change your mind and would like to receive paper copies of our proxy statements and annual reports, you can request both by phone at 800-579-1639, by email at sendmaterial@proxyvote.com, through the Internet at www.proxyvote.com or by writing to Phillips 66, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. You will need your 12-digit control number located on your Notice of Internet Availability to request a package. You will also be provided with the opportunity to receive a copy of the proxy statement and annual report in future mailings.

Will my vote be kept confidential?

The Board of Directors has a policy that stockholder proxies, ballots, and tabulations that identify stockholders are to be maintained in confidence. No such document will be available for examination, and the identity and vote of any stockholder will not be disclosed, except as necessary to meet legal requirements and allow the inspectors of election to certify the results of the stockholder vote. The policy also provides that inspectors of election must be independent and cannot be employees of the Company. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy card that may be forwarded to management.

What is the cost of this proxy solicitation?

The Board of Directors has sent you this proxy statement. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by mail, by email, by telephone or in person. Those persons will receive no additional compensation for any solicitation activities. We will request banking institutions, brokerage firms, custodians, trustees, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of common stock held of record by those entities, and we will, upon the request of those record holders, reimburse reasonable forwarding expenses. We will pay the costs of preparing, printing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials used in the solicitation of proxies. In addition, we have hired Alliance Advisors, LLC to assist us in soliciting proxies, which it may do by telephone or in person. We anticipate paying Alliance Advisors, LLC a fee of $15,000, plus expenses.

Why did my household receive a single set of proxy materials?

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules permit us to deliver a single copy of an annual report and proxy statement to any household not participating in electronic proxy material delivery at which two or more stockholders reside, if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This benefits both you and the Company, as it eliminates duplicate mailings that stockholders living at the same address receive and conserves resources and reduces printing and mailing costs. This rule applies to any annual reports, proxy statements, proxy statements combined with a prospectus or information statements. Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card. Your household may have received a single set of proxy materials this year. If you prefer to receive your own copy now or in future years, please request a duplicate set by phone at 800-579-1639, through the Internet at www.proxyvote.com, by email at sendmaterial@proxyvote.com, or by writing to Phillips 66, c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. Stockholders sharing the same address can request delivery of a single copy of these materials using the same methods described in the preceding sentence. If a broker or other nominee holds your shares, you may continue to receive some duplicate mailings. Certain brokers will eliminate duplicate account mailings by allowing stockholders to consent to such elimination, or through implied consent if a stockholder does not request continuation of duplicate mailings. Because not all brokers and nominees may offer stockholders the opportunity to request eliminating duplicate mailings, you may need to contact your broker or nominee directly to discontinue duplicate mailings to your household.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS AND

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD

The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors annually review the Company’s governance structure to take into account changes in SEC and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules, as well as current best practices. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, posted on the “Investors” section of the Company’s website under the “Governance” caption and available in print upon request (see “Available Information” on page 73), address the following matters, among others: director qualifications; director responsibilities; committees of the board; director access to officers, employees and independent advisors; director compensation; performance evaluations of the board; director orientation and continuing education; and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) evaluation and succession planning.

Independence Determinations

The Corporate Governance Guidelines also contain director independence standards, which are consistent with the standards set forth in the NYSE listing standards, to assist the Board of Directors in determining the independence of the Company’s Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that each Director, except Messrs. Garland and Lowe, meets the standards regarding independence set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and is free of any material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). Mr. Garland is not considered independent because he is an executive officer of the Company. Mr. Lowe is not considered independent because of his affiliation with ConocoPhillips prior to our 2012 spin-off from ConocoPhillips. In making independence determinations, the Board of Directors specifically considered the fact that many of our Directors are directors, retired officers or stockholders of companies with which we conduct business. In addition, some of our Directors serve as employees of, or consultants to, companies that do business with Phillips 66 and its affiliates (as further described in “Related Party Transactions” on page 10). Finally, some of our Directors may purchase retail products (such as gasoline, fuel additives or lubricants) from the Company. In all cases, it was determined that the nature of the business conducted and the interest of the Director by virtue of such position were immaterial both to the Company and to such Director.

Communications with the Board

The Board of Directors maintains a process for stockholders and interested parties to communicate with the Board of Directors. Stockholders and interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors by contacting our Corporate Secretary, Paula A. Johnson, as provided below:

 

Mailing Address:

Relevant communications are distributed to the Board of Directors or to any individual Director or Directors, as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication. In that regard, the Board has requested that certain items that are unrelated to its duties and responsibilities be excluded, such as: business solicitations or advertisements; junk mail and mass

mailings; new product suggestions; product complaints; product inquiries; resumes and other forms of job inquiries; spam; and surveys. In addition, material that is considered hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly unsuitable will be excluded. Any communication that is filtered out is made available to any non-employee Director upon request.

Annual Meeting Attendance

Recognizing that director attendance at the Company’s Annual Meeting can provide the Company’s stockholders with an opportunity to communicate with the Directors about issues affecting the Company, the Company actively encourages our Directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. All of our Directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Chairman and CEO Roles

Although the Board of Directors retains the authority to separate the positions of Chairman and CEO if it deems appropriate in the future, the Board currently believes it is in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders to combine them. Doing so enables one person to guide the Board in setting priorities for the Company and in addressing the risks and challenges the Company faces. The Board of Directors currently believes that, while its non-employee Directors bring a diversity of skills and perspectives to the Board, the Company’s CEO, by virtue of his day-to-day involvement in managing the Company, is best suited at this time to serve as Chairman and perform this unified role.

The Board of Directors believes there is no single organizational model that is the best and most effective in all circumstances. As a consequence, the Board of Directors periodically considers whether the offices of Chairman and CEO should continue to be combined and who should serve in such capacities. In determining the best organizational structure following our spin-off from ConocoPhillips, combining the offices of Chairman and CEO was decided to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors will periodically reexamine its corporate governance policies and leadership structures to ensure that they continue to meet the Company’s needs.

Independent Director Leadership

The Board of Directors has adopted strong governance principles to ensure that an appropriate balance of power exists between the non-employee Directors and management, including:

 

   

appointing a Lead Director

 

   

requiring a substantial majority of independent directors

 

   

having only independent directors serve on the Audit and Finance Committee, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee

 

   

holding executive sessions of the non-employee Directors at each Board meeting

 

   

having only independent directors evaluate the CEO’s performance annually and approve the CEO’s pay

 

8


Table of Contents

Mr. McGraw currently serves as our Lead Director. In appointing him, the Board of Directors considered it to be useful and appropriate to designate an independent Director to serve in a lead capacity to coordinate the activities of the non-employee Directors and to perform such other duties and responsibilities as the Board of Directors may determine. Specifically, those duties include:

 

   

advising the Chairman as to an appropriate schedule of Board meetings, seeking to ensure that the non-employee Directors can perform their duties responsibly while not interfering with operations

 

   

providing the Chairman with input as to the preparation of the agendas for the Board and committee meetings and assuring that there is sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items

 

   

advising the Chairman as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the flow of information from management that is necessary for the non-employee Directors to perform their duties effectively and responsibly, including specifically requesting certain materials be provided to the Board

 

   

recommending to the Chairman the retention of consultants who report directly to the Board of Directors

 

   

interviewing all board candidates and making nomination recommendations to the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors

 

   

assisting the Board of Directors and Company officers in assuring compliance with and implementation of the Corporate Governance Guidelines

 

   

having the authority to call meetings of the non-employee Directors, as well as to develop the agenda for and moderate any such meetings and executive sessions of the non-employee Directors

 

   

acting as principal liaison between the non-employee Directors and the Chairman on sensitive issues

 

   

participating in the periodic discussion of CEO performance with the Human Resources and Compensation Committee

 

   

ensuring the Board of Directors conducts an annual self-assessment and meeting with the CEO to discuss the results of the annual self-assessment

 

   

working with the Nominating and Governance Committee to recommend the membership of the various Board committees, as well as selection of the committee chairs

The Board of Directors believes that its current structure and processes encourage its non-employee Directors to be actively involved in guiding the work of the Board. The chairs of the Board’s committees review their agendas and committee materials in advance, communicating directly with other Directors and members of management as each deems appropriate. Moreover, each Director is free to suggest agenda items and to raise matters at Board and committee meetings that are not on the agenda.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that the non-employee Directors meet in executive session at every meeting and that the independent Directors meet in executive session at least annually. As Lead Director, Mr. McGraw presides at such executive sessions. Each executive session

Table of Contents

may include discussions of, among other things, (1) the performance of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, (2) matters concerning the relationship of the Board of Directors with the members of senior management, and (3) such other matters as the non-employee Directors deem appropriate. No formal action of the Board of Directors is taken at these meetings, although the non-employee Directors may subsequently recommend matters for consideration by the full Board. The Board of Directors may invite guest attendees for the purpose of making presentations, responding to questions, or providing counsel on specific matters within their areas of expertise.

 

BOARD RISK OVERSIGHT

Although the Company’s management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks to the Company, the Board of Directors has broad oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management programs. In this oversight role, the Board of Directors is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by the Company’s management are functioning as intended and that necessary steps are taken to foster a culture of risk-adjusted decision making throughout the organization. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, the Board of Directors has delegated to individual committees certain elements of its oversight function. In this context, the Board of Directors delegated authority to the Audit and Finance Committee to facilitate coordination among the Board’s committees with respect to oversight of the Company’s risk management programs. As part of this authority, the Audit and Finance Committee regularly discusses the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies to ensure that our risk management programs are functioning properly. The Board of Directors receives regular updates from its committees on individual areas of risk, such as updates on financial and control risks from the Audit and Finance Committee; health, safety, environmental and reputational risks from the Public Policy Committee; and compensation program risks from the Human Resources and Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors exercises its oversight function with respect to all material risks to the Company, which are identified and discussed in the Company’s public filings with the SEC.

 

CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT

Phillips 66 has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct for Directors and Employees designed to help directors and employees resolve ethical issues in an increasingly complex global business environment. Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct applies to all directors and employees, including the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer. Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, insider trading, competition and fair dealing, discrimination and harassment, confidentiality, payments to government personnel, anti-boycott laws, U.S. embargoes and sanctions, compliance procedures and employee complaint procedures. Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct is posted on the “Investors” section of our website under the “Governance” caption. Stockholders may also request printed copies of our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct by following the instructions located under the caption “Available Information” on page 73.

 

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct requires that all directors and executive officers promptly bring to the attention of the General Counsel and, in the case of Directors, the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee or, in the case of executive officers, the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, any transaction or relationship that arises and of which she or he becomes aware that reasonably could be expected to constitute a related party transaction. Any such transaction or relationship is reviewed by the Company’s management and the appropriate Board Committee to ensure that it does not constitute a conflict of interest and is reported appropriately. Additionally, the

 

10


Table of Contents

Nominating and Governance Committee conducts an annual review of related party transactions between each of our directors and the Company (and its subsidiaries) and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the continued independence of each Board member. In 2013, there were no related party transactions in which the Company (or a subsidiary) was a participant and in which any director or executive officer (or their immediate family members) had a direct or indirect material interest. The Nominating and Governance Committee also considered relationships that, while not constituting related party transactions where a director had a direct or indirect material interest, nonetheless involved transactions between the Company and an organization with which a director is affiliated, whether through employment status or by virtue of serving as director. Included in its review were ordinary course of business transactions with companies employing a director, such as ordinary course of business transactions with McGraw Hill Financial, of which Mr. McGraw serves as Chairman of the Board, and JPMorgan Chase & Co., of which Mr. Tilton serves as Chairman of the Midwest. The Nominating and Governance Committee determined that there were no transactions impairing the independence of any member of the Board.

 

NOMINATING PROCESSES OF

THE NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

The Nominating and Governance Committee, which we refer to as the Nominating Committee, consists of three non-employee Directors, all of whom are independent under NYSE listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating Committee identifies, investigates and recommends director candidates to the Board of Directors with the goal of creating a balance of knowledge, experience and diversity. Generally, the Nominating Committee identifies candidates through the use of a search firm or the business and organizational contacts of the directors and management. Our By-Laws permit stockholders to nominate candidates for director election at a stockholders meeting whether or not such nominee is submitted to and evaluated by the Nominating Committee. Stockholders who wish to submit nominees for election at an annual or special meeting of stockholders should follow the procedures described under “Submission of Future Stockholder Proposals” on page 73. The Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to recommend a candidate for nomination by the Nominating Committee, he or she should follow the same procedures referred to above for nominations to be made directly by the stockholder. In addition, the stockholder should provide such other information deemed relevant to the Nominating Committee’s evaluation. Candidates recommended by the Company’s stockholders are evaluated on the same basis as candidates recommended by the Company’s directors, CEO, other executive officers, third-party search firms or other sources.

 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHIES

(Proposal 1 on the Proxy Card)

What am I voting on?

You are voting on a proposal to elect nominees to a three-year term as Directors of the Company.

What is the makeup of the Board of Directors and how often are the members elected?

Our By-Laws provide that the Directors are divided into three classes, which are to be as nearly as possible equal in size, with one class being elected each year. The Board of Directors has set the current number of Directors at eight, with two classes of three Directors each and one class of two Directors. Any director vacancies created between annual stockholder meetings (such as by a current director’s death, resignation or removal for cause or an increase in the number of directors) may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office. Any director appointed in this manner would hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which he or she has been appointed expires. If a vacancy resulted from an action of our stockholders, only our stockholders would be entitled to elect a successor.

What if a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve?

That is not expected to occur. If it does and the Board of Directors does not elect to reduce the size of the Board, shares represented by proxies will be voted for a substitute nominated by the Board of Directors.

How are Directors compensated?

Please see our discussion of non-employee Director compensation beginning on page 63.

How often did the Board meet in 2013?

The Board of Directors met six times in 2013. Each Director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of:

 

   

the total number of meetings of the Board in 2013 (held during the period for which she or he was a Director), and

 

   

the total number of full-committee meetings held in 2013 by all committees of the Board on which she or he served (during the periods that she or he served)

Do the Board Committees have written charters?

Yes. The charters for our Audit and Finance Committee, Executive Committee, Human Resources and Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Public Policy Committee can be found in the “Investors” section on the Phillips 66 website under the “Governance” caption. Stockholders may also request printed copies of these charters by following the instructions located under the caption “Available Information” on page 73.

What criteria were considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee in selecting the nominees?

In selecting the 2014 nominees for Director, the Nominating Committee sought candidates who possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and are committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. In addition to reviewing a candidate’s background and accomplishments, the Nominating Committee reviewed candidates in the context of the current composition of the Board and the evolving needs of the Company’s businesses. The Nominating Committee also considered the number of boards on which the candidate already serves. It is the Board’s policy that at all times at least a substantial majority of its members meets the standards of independence promulgated by the NYSE and the SEC, and as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating Committee also seeks to ensure that the Board reflects a range of talents, ages, skills, experiences, diversity, and expertise, particularly in the areas of accounting and finance, management, domestic and international markets, leadership, and energy related industries, sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the Company’s operations and interests. The Board seeks to maintain a diverse membership, but does not have a separate policy on diversity. The Board also requires that its members be able to dedicate the time and resources necessary to ensure the diligent performance of their duties on the Company’s behalf, including attending Board and applicable committee meetings.

The following are some of the key qualifications and skills the Nominating Committee considered in evaluating the director nominees. The individual biographies below provide additional information about each nominee’s specific experiences, qualifications and skills.

 

   

CEO experience. Directors with experience as CEO of public corporations provide the Company with valuable insights. These individuals have a demonstrated record of leadership qualities and a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategy, risk and risk management and the methods to drive change and growth. Through their service as top leaders at other organizations, they also bring valuable perspective on common issues affecting other companies and Phillips 66.

 

   

Financial reporting experience. An understanding of finance and financial reporting processes is important. The Company measures its operating and strategic performance by reference to financial targets. In addition, accurate financial reporting and robust auditing are critical to the Company’s success. We seek to have a number of directors who qualify as audit committee financial experts, and we expect all of our directors to be financially knowledgeable.

 

   

Industry experience. Directors with experience as executives or directors or in other leadership positions in the energy industry bring pertinent experiences to the Board. These directors have valuable perspective on issues specific to the Company’s business.

 

   

Global experience. As a global company, directors with global business or international experience provide valued perspective on our operations.

 

   

Environmental experience. The perspective of directors who have experience within the environmental regulatory field is valued as we implement policies and conduct operations in order to ensure that our actions today will not only provide the energy needed to drive economic growth and social well-being, but also secure a stable and healthy environment for tomorrow.

What vote is required to approve this proposal?

“against” that director). If a nominee who is serving as a Director is not elected at the Annual Meeting and no one else is elected in place of that Director, then, under Delaware law, the Director would continue to serve on the Board of Directors as a “holdover director.” However, under our By-Laws, the holdover director is required to tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating Committee then would consider and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether some other action should be taken. The Board of Directors would then make a decision whether to accept the resignation taking into account the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. The Director who tenders his or her resignation would not participate in the Board’s decision. The Board is required to publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the SEC or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. In a contested election (a situation in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the standard for election of directors will be a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

What does the Board recommend?

AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit and Finance Committee, which we refer to as the Audit Committee, assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibility to provide independent, objective oversight of the financial reporting functions and internal control systems of Phillips 66. The Audit Committee currently consists of three non-employee Directors. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the requirements of the NYSE as to independence, financial literacy and expertise. The Board has determined that at least one member, William R. Loomis, Jr., is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the SEC. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which is available in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website under the caption “Governance.” One of the Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities is to assist the Board in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. The following report summarizes certain of the Audit Committee’s activities in this regard for 2013.

Review with Management. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements of Phillips 66 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2013, included therein.

Discussions with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm for Phillips 66, the matters required to be discussed by standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with that firm its independence from Phillips 66.

Recommendation to the Phillips 66 Board of Directors. Based on its review and discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of Phillips 66 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP 

(Proposal 2 on the Proxy Card)

What am I voting on?

You are voting on a proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

What services does the independent registered public accounting firm provide?

Audit services of Ernst & Young for fiscal year 2013 included an audit of our consolidated financial statements, an audit of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and services related to periodic filings made with the SEC. Additionally, Ernst & Young provided certain other services as described in the response to the next question. In connection with the audit of the 2013 consolidated financial statements, we entered into an engagement agreement with Ernst & Young that sets forth the terms by which Ernst & Young will perform audit services for us.

How much was the independent registered public accounting firm paid for 2013 and 2012?

Ernst & Young’s fees for professional services totaled $12.1 million for 2013 and $12.0 million for 2012, which consisted of the following:

 

Fees (in millions)

   2013      2012  

Audit Fees 1

   $ 11.0       $ 10.9   

Audit-Related Fees 2

     0.7         0.9   

Tax Fees 3

     0.4         0.2   

Other Fees

               
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total

   $ 12.1       $ 12.0   

 

  1 Fees for audit services related to the fiscal year consolidated audit, the audit of the effectiveness of internal controls, quarterly reviews, registration statements, comfort letters, statutory and regulatory audits and accounting consultations.

 

  2 Fees for audit-related services related to audits in connection with proposed or consummated dispositions, benefit plan audits, other subsidiary audits, special reports, and accounting consultations.

 

  3 Fees for tax services related to tax compliance services and tax planning and advisory services.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided to Phillips 66 by Ernst & Young impaired the independence of Ernst & Young and concluded they did not.

The Audit Committee has adopted a pre-approval policy that provides guidelines for the audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services that may be provided by Ernst & Young to the Company. All of the fees in the table above were approved in accordance with this policy. The policy (a) identifies the guiding principles that must be considered by the Audit Committee in approving services to ensure that Ernst & Young’s independence is not impaired; (b) describes the audit, audit-related, tax and other services that may be provided and the non-audit services that are prohibited; and (c) sets forth pre-approval requirements for all permitted services. Under the policy, all services to be provided by Ernst & Young must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to approve permitted services to the Audit Committee’s Chair. Such approval must be reported to the entire Audit Committee at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Role of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee

Authority and Responsibilities

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee, which we refer to as the Compensation Committee, is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of our executive compensation programs and determining the compensation for our CEO and anyone who meets our definition of a Senior Officer. Currently, our internal guidelines define a Senior Officer as an officer of the Company who reports directly to the CEO or any other officer of the Company who is either a Senior Vice President or above or a reporting officer under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of December 31, 2013, we had 10 Senior Officers. The compensation tables that follow provide information about our CEO and certain of our Senior Officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee acts as plan administrator of the compensation programs and benefit plans for our CEO and Senior Officers and as an avenue of appeal for current and former Senior Officers regarding disputes over compensation and benefits.

The Compensation Committee oversees the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, policies, plans and programs for our CEO and Senior Officers to ensure:

 

   

Alignment of our executive compensation programs with the long-term economic interests of stockholders

 

   

Competitiveness of compensation within the markets in which Phillips 66 competes for talent

 

   

Retention of top talent and CEO and Senior Officer succession planning

One of the Compensation Committee’s responsibilities is to assist the Board in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 24. The report on page 22 summarizes certain of the Compensation Committee’s activities concerning compensation earned during 2013 by our Named Executive Officers who are identified on page 24.

A complete listing of the authority and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee is set forth in the written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which is available in the “Investors” section of our website under the caption “Governance.”

Members

The Compensation Committee consists of three members who meet all requirements for “non-employee,” “independent” and “outside” director status under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, NYSE listing standards, and the Internal Revenue Code, respectively. The members of the Compensation Committee and the member to be designated as Chair, like the members and Chairs of all the Board committees, are reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee, which recommends committee appointments to the full Board. The Board of Directors has final approval of the committee structure of the Board.

Meetings

The Compensation Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings in association with each regular Board meeting and meets by teleconference between such meetings as necessary to discharge its duties. The Compensation Committee reserves time at each regularly scheduled meeting

 

21


Table of Contents

to review matters in executive session without management present except as specifically requested by the Compensation Committee. Additionally, the Committee meets jointly with the Lead Director, who is currently a member of the Compensation Committee, at least annually to evaluate the performance of the CEO. In 2013, the Compensation Committee had seven regularly scheduled meetings. More information regarding the Compensation Committee’s activities at such meetings can be found in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 24.

Continuous Improvement

The Compensation Committee is committed to a process of continuous improvement in exercising its responsibilities. To that end, the Compensation Committee:

 

   

Receives ongoing training regarding best practices for executive compensation

 

   

Regularly reviews its responsibilities and governance practices in light of ongoing changes in the legal and regulatory arena and trends in corporate governance, which review is aided by the Company’s management and consultants, independent compensation consultants, and, when deemed appropriate, independent legal counsel

 

   

Annually reviews its charter and proposes any desired changes to the Board of Directors

 

   

Annually conducts a self-assessment of its performance that evaluates the effectiveness of the Committee’s actions and seeks ideas to improve its processes and oversight

 

   

Regularly reviews and assesses whether the Company’s executive compensation programs are having the desired effects and do not encourage an inappropriate level of risk

 

   

Regularly reviews all activities of the Committee, including self-assessment and compensation risk assessment, with the full Board of Directors

Human Resources and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the year ended December 31, 2013, none of our executive officers served as (1) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee, (2) a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Compensation Committee or (3) a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as one of our directors. In addition, none of the members of the Compensation Committee (1) was an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2013, (2) was formerly an officer or employee of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, or (3) had any other relationship requiring disclosure under applicable rules.

The Compensation Committee has received written disclosures from Meridian confirming no other work has been performed for the Company by Meridian, has discussed with Meridian its independence from Phillips 66, and believes Meridian to have been independent of management.

Recommendation to the Phillips 66 Board of Directors. Based on its review and discussions noted above, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” be included in the Phillips 66 proxy statement on Schedule 14A and the Phillips 66 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Overview and Executive Summary

Our Business—A Unique Brand

Phillips 66 is a growing energy manufacturing and logistics company and the only downstream company to combine high-performing Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties businesses. This integrated portfolio enables Phillips 66 to capture opportunities in the changing energy landscape. We have approximately 13,500 employees worldwide who are committed to safety and operating excellence.

 

   

Our Midstream segment comprises Phillips 66’s transportation business, including operations of Phillips 66 Partners LP, our master limited partnership that completed its initial public offering in July 2013; a 50 percent interest in DCP Midstream, LLC, which we refer to as DCP Midstream; and natural gas liquids, which are sometimes referred to as NGL, operations. DCP Midstream is one of the largest NGL producers and natural gas gatherers and processors in the United States, with 67,000 miles of pipeline, 64 plants and 12 NGL fractionators.

 

   

We conduct our Chemicals business through a 50 percent interest in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, which we refer to as CPChem, one of the world’s top producers of olefins and polyolefins with more than 33 billion pounds of net annual chemicals processing capacity across its product lines.

 

   

Our Refining operations include 15 refineries with a net crude oil capacity of 2.2 million barrels per day.

 

   

Our Marketing and Specialties segment includes 10,000 owned or supplied outlets, lubricants marketing in more than 65 countries, and other specialty products including petroleum coke, waxes, solvents, polypropylene, and, for the periods covered in the CD&A, flow improvers.

Our Approach to Executive Compensation—Driving Performance

Our compensation programs support our corporate vision of providing energy and improving lives. Our programs are aligned with key elements of our corporate strategy. Important tenets of our approach include:

 

   

We ensure executive compensation drives behaviors and actions consistent with stockholder interests, prudent risk-taking and long-term perspective.

 

   

We believe our compensation programs play an important role in our employee value proposition. They provide a competitive advantage to help the Company attract, retain, motivate, and reward high-performing executive talent, as well as support succession planning.

 

   

We pay for performance. Executives have a significant portion of compensation tied to the achievement of annual and long-term goals that promote stockholder value creation.

 

   

We target and award reasonable and competitive compensation levels, generally aligned with market median levels but allow for differentiation based on performance.

 

   

We emphasize stock ownership. Executives are required to maintain a multiple of their annual base salary in Company stock.

 

   

We provide executives the same group benefit programs as we provide other employees, on substantially the same terms.

We limit executive perquisites to items that serve a reasonable business purpose.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee considered these safety, financial, and operational results in determining the corporate payout levels for our performance-based compensation programs. Based on these levels of performance, the Compensation Committee approved a 175 percent of target payout level for the Variable Cash Incentive Program, which we refer to as VCIP.

Likewise, the Compensation Committee considered the Company’s Return on Capital Employed and Total Stockholder Return for the period from May 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013 when determining the 170 percent of target payout for the remaining 20 months of the Performance Share Program 2011-2013. We refer to a Performance Share Program as a PSP.

Further details on the rationale for payout decisions are included under “Targets and Payouts for Compensation Elements” beginning on page 31.

2013 Corporate Governance Highlights

The following summarizes significant actions taken in 2013:

 

   

We changed the composition of the Long-Term Incentive compensation program to include Restricted Stock Units, which we refer to as RSUs, in addition to Stock Options and the PSP. The Compensation Committee believes this mix is aligned with our compensation philosophy, appropriate given the cyclical nature of our business and supports executive retention.

 

   

We amended the Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan (CICSP) to include a “double trigger” vesting requirement for equity awards. This aligns our program with best practices and the long-term interests of our stockholders by requiring a change in control and a qualified termination before equity awards vest.

 

   

Stockholders approved the 2013 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of Phillips 66. This provided stockholders an opportunity to understand and vote on how the Company uses equity and cash-based awards to differentiate for performance, retain top talent and drive behaviors and actions.

 

   

We updated all programs to include robust clawback provisions.

 

   

We removed Total Stockholder Return from the list of formulaic metrics in the VCIP, for program years beginning 2014 and forward. Eliminating this metric from the annual incentive while maintaining it as a metric for long-term incentives is in line with good governance practices and market trends. It focuses the short-term corporate program and payouts on operational metrics, provides a greater line of sight for employees and drives employee ownership of the results.

 

   

The Compensation Committee reviewed and confirmed our primary and broad industry peer groups to ensure we are measuring Phillips 66 against the appropriate mix of companies: those with similar scope and scale of operations, in similar industries, and with which we compete for talent and capital.

 

   

The Compensation Committee reviewed the risk assessment of our compensation programs and practices to ensure that appropriate risk mitigation controls were in place.

2013 “Say-on-Pay” Vote Result and Engagement

Our Compensation Committee carefully considered the results of our first Say-on-Pay vote on NEO compensation in May 2013, in which more than 87 percent of votes cast affirmed support for the compensation of our NEOs as described in our 2013 proxy statement. The Compensation Committee

 

27


Table of Contents

interpreted this level of support as affirmation by stockholders of the design and overall execution of our programs. The voting process also provided valuable feedback on certain features the Committee continued to evaluate in 2013.

We maintain open communications with our investor community on many matters, including executive compensation. While these avenues of communication yielded no major concerns regarding our executive compensation philosophy or design, the Committee approved the following changes, in addition to the ones outlined on page 27, in response to stockholders’ feedback.

 

   

This proxy statement includes additional disclosures regarding executive performance and the targets and criteria driving 2013 VCIP and long-term incentive payout decisions. This information confirms our philosophy to align payouts with stockholder interests and demonstrates the close link between pay and performance for our compensation programs.

 

   

Individual performance adjustments will be considered at the beginning of the performance period for the PSP starting with the 2014 - 2016 program. Starting with that program, the Committee will no longer make any individual adjustments at the end of the performance period. This enhancement strengthens the link between pay and performance while maintaining a critical retention element for top talent.

We will continue to engage our stockholders and monitor Say-on-Pay results to facilitate continuous program enhancement. We will continue to offer compensation programs that drive the right behaviors and actions and deliver long-term value to our stockholders. Consistent with the preference expressed by our stockholders at last year’s annual meeting, we will hold annual Say-on-Pay votes.

Elements of Compensation

The principal elements of our executive compensation programs are presented in summary format below and explained further in the sections that follow.

 

Type    Program    Description / Purpose
Annual Cash Compensation    Base Salary   

•   Provides base level of cash compensation

•   Based on scope and responsibility of the position, peer compensation data, and individual experience, expertise and performance

•   Reviewed regularly and adjusted, if and when appropriate

  

Variable Cash Incentive Program

(VCIP)

  

•   Performance-based award tied to corporate and individual performance

•   Aligns behaviors and actions with stockholder interests and rewards achievement of annual performance goals

Long-Term Incentives (LTI)    Performance Share Program (PSP)   

•   75% of target LTI incentives granted on an annual basis are performance-based (25% Stock Options and 50% Performance Share Units)

•   Value realized subject to stock price performance

   Stock Options*   
  

Restricted Stock Units

(RSUs)

  

•   Full-value award tied to stock price performance

•   Supports executive retention

 

* The Compensation Committee believes that Stock Options are inherently performance-based, as options have no initial value and grantees only realize benefits if the value of our stock increases following the date of grant. This practice aligns our CEO and Senior Officer compensation with stockholder interests.

In 2013 the Compensation Committee changed the composition of the Long-Term Incentive compensation targets. We refer to Long-Term Incentives as LTI. Beginning in 2013, the components of target LTI compensation are:

 

   

50% Performance Share Units

 

   

25% Stock Options

 

   

25% Restricted Stock Units

The Committee believes this mix is aligned with our compensation philosophy, reflects the cyclical nature of our business and supports executive retention.

Target Mix

The target mix of the compensation program elements for the CEO and other NEOs is shown below. The charts outline the relative size, in percentage terms, of each element of targeted compensation.

 

LOGO

Significant Pay at Risk

Consistent with our compensation philosophy that executive compensation should be tied to Company performance and directly linked with stockholder value creation, a significant portion of NEO compensation is at risk and based on performance metrics tied to our corporate strategy. “At risk” means there is no guarantee that the value of the awards at the time of grant will be realized. The Compensation Committee has complete authority to limit and even award zero percent for the performance-based payouts and individual performance adjustments under the VCIP and PSP based on the Committee’s evaluation of performance. Stock Options can expire with zero value if the Company stock price does not appreciate above the grant date price over the 10-year life of the options. RSUs may lose value depending on stock price performance. Therefore, for NEOs to earn and sustain competitive compensation, the Company must meet its stated goals, perform well relative to peers and deliver market-competitive returns to stockholders.

Targets and Payouts for Compensation Elements

Peer Group

When determining how to benchmark our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee took into consideration that Phillips 66 has no direct peers to use for reference in evaluating whether our executive compensation program offers competitive total compensation opportunities and reflects best practices in plan design. As a result, the Compensation Committee established three peer groups reflecting our diverse businesses.

The primary peer group consists of integrated oil companies with significant downstream operations, independent downstream companies with similar scope and scale (mainly in refining) and a chemical company. We will continue to evaluate potential peers regularly in light of changes in market

Table of Contents

conditions, business restructuring within the industry and changes in our business portfolio—resulting, for example, in the growth of our Midstream and Chemicals segments. Our primary peer group consists of the following companies:

 

Primary Peer Group
  BP plc    Marathon Petroleum Corporation
  Chevron Corporation    Tesoro Corporation
  Dow Chemical Company    Valero Energy Corporation

The primary peer group is supplemented by a broad industry group representing large industrial companies with significant capital investments and international operations and against which we compete for talent. At the time this supplemental peer group was last reviewed, we were, in comparison to this group, in the 51st percentile in terms of assets, the 43rd percentile in terms of market value and the 100th percentile in terms of revenue.

The broad industry peer group consists of the following twenty companies:

 

Broad Industry Peer Group
  3M Company    Johnson & Johnson
  Archer Daniels Midland    Johnson Controls, Inc.
  The Boeing Company    Northrop Grumman Corporation
  Caterpillar Inc    Procter & Gamble Company
  Deere & Company    Sprint Nextel Corporation
  E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company    Sysco Corporation
  FedEx Corporation    Tyson Foods, Inc.
  Ford Motor Company    United Parcel Service, Inc.
  General Dynamics Corporation    United Technologies Corp.
  Honeywell International Inc    Verizon Communications Inc.

In addition to these groups, we also benchmark our TSR against the companies included in the S&P 100 index, as these are the companies with which we compete for capital in the broader market.

The Compensation Committee considers the median levels of compensation among these peer groups for reference in developing targeted levels of compensation for the NEOs. The following chart summarizes how we used each of these three groups for benchmarking our compensation programs in 2013:

Table of Contents

For VCIP programs beginning in 2014 and forward, the Committee has removed TSR from the formulaic corporate metrics. The elimination of TSR is consistent with leading governance practices, focuses the VCIP program on internal metrics, increases the line of sight between executives’ responsibilities and performance goals and drives employee ownership of performance results. TSR remains a corporate metric in our PSP.

Base Salary

Base salary is designed to provide a competitive and set rate of pay recognizing employees’ different levels of responsibility and performance. As the majority of our NEO compensation is performance-based and tied to long-term programs, base salary represents a less significant component of such compensation. In setting each NEO’s base salary, the Compensation Committee considers factors including, but not limited to, the responsibility level for the position held, market data from the relevant peer group for comparable roles, experience and expertise, individual performance and business results.

Below is a summary of the annualized base salary for each NEO for 2013. Because these amounts reflect each NEO’s annualized salary as of the dates indicated, this information may vary from the information provided in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 45, which reflects actual base salary earnings in 2013, including the effect of salary changes during the year.

Base salary on March 1, 2013 reflects the effects of the merit adjustment made on that date under a broad-based program for Phillips 66 employees. The salaries on January 1, 2013 for Mr. Garland, Ms. Johnson and Messrs. Maxwell, Taylor and Ziemba were $1,400,000, $435,651, $588,825, $668,479 and $570,286, respectively.

Mr. Garland, Ms. Johnson and Messrs. Maxwell, Taylor and Ziemba received base salary increases effective March 1, 2013, as part of the annual merit increase cycle for all employees. Ms. Johnson and Messrs Maxwell, Taylor and Ziemba received grade promotions, effective May 1, 2013, related to their established performance in new roles since our spin-off. The promotions prompted several actions, including additional salary adjustments, target VCIP increases and supplemental performance plan awards. The Compensation Committee determined these additional adjustments were appropriate to maintain competitiveness in the market and recognize the level of commitment demonstrated during our first full year as an independent company.

Variable Cash Incentive Program

The VCIP, which is our annual incentive program, is designed to:

 

   

Reward annual performance achievements

 

   

Align corporate, business and individual goals with stockholder interests and Company strategy

 

33


Table of Contents
   

Drive behaviors and actions consistent with stockholder interests

 

   

Provide variability and differentiation based on corporate, business and individual performance

Each NEO’s base VCIP award is tied solely to corporate performance. We believe this is in the best interests of stockholders as it promotes collaboration across the organization.

The annual payout for NEOs is delivered as a cash bonus and is calculated as follows:

For 2013, the Compensation Committee used the following metrics, aligned with our Company strategy, to evaluate corporate performance under the VCIP. This mix of financial and operational metrics ensures a balanced view of Company performance.

 

Metric   

  Corporate  

  Weighting

Safety, Process Safety and Operating Excellence    20%   Aligns payout with strategic focus on operating excellence
Cost Management    20%   Measures effective cost management versus internal targets
Adjusted Earnings    20%   Evaluates the Company’s performance relative to target, including response to market changes
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE)    20%   Measures capital responsibility and discipline against internal targets and compared to industry benchmarks
Total Stockholder Return (TSR) (1)    20%   Maintains strategic focus on profitable growth and stockholder distributions

 

(1) 

For VCIP programs beginning in 2014 and forward, the Committee has removed TSR from the formulaic corporate metrics and adjusted the weighting (25% each) of the remaining metrics.

 

34


Table of Contents

For 2013, the Compensation Committee considered the following corporate performance against stated targets in determining VCIP payments to the NEOs. The results of each metric are outlined in the charts below and a payout factor is applied to the relative weighting.

Generally, target performance results in 100 percent payout of target bonus opportunity. Less-than-target performance will normally result in a payout between zero and 99 percent of target. Greater-than-target performance generally results in a payout between 100 percent of target and the maximum 200 percent, before individual adjustment.

Long-Term Incentive Programs

Our long-term incentive programs are designed to:

 

   

Align corporate, business and individual goals with stockholder interests and Company strategy and vision

 

   

Drive behaviors and actions consistent with stockholder interests

 

   

Encourage prudent risk taking and long-term perspective

 

   

Support retention of high-performing talent and succession planning

Table of Contents

In 2013 we adjusted our long-term incentive program to include RSUs. Our programs deliver 50 percent of long-term target value in the form of Performance Share Units through the PSP, 25 percent in the form of Stock Options and 25 percent in the form of RSUs. We believe this mix of awards is aligned with our compensation philosophy, reflects the cyclical nature of our business, promotes retention of our high-performing talent and supports succession planning.

Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Targets

The table below summarizes the annualized LTI targets for the NEOs for 2013. The Company benchmarks compensation across the peer groups described earlier and establishes multiples of base salary tied to the median LTI opportunities for similar roles at peer organizations. The values in the table below are based on these multiples applied to the executives’ salaries as of December 31, 2012, prior to the February 2013 LTI grants. The amounts shown do not reflect any promotional, individual or merit adjustments during the year and may not match the accounting values presented in the “Grants of Plan Based Awards” table on page 48:

Performance Share Program (PSP)

Through the PSP, a significant portion of NEO compensation is tied to Company and individual performance over a three-year period, which is evaluated by the Compensation Committee when determining payouts. Each year, the Compensation Committee establishes metrics that will be used to evaluate Company performance relative to internal performance goals as well as appropriate peer groups for the following three years. There are three PSP programs in progress at any point in time.

The Compensation Committee uses corporate performance in relation to performance goals and benchmarks when determining award payouts. Payouts can range from 0-200 percent of target opportunity. Generally target or peer median performance results in a payout equal to 100 percent of target opportunity. Performance below target or peer median performance normally results in a payout between 0 and 99 percent of target opportunity. Performance greater than target or peer median performance generally results in a payout between 100 percent and the maximum 200 percent of target opportunity.

In addition, the Compensation Committee can apply performance adjustments of +/- 50 percent based on individual performance. The maximum payout inclusive of Company and individual performance adjustments is capped at 200 percent of target. Targets are prorated for changes in salary grade level during the relevant performance period. The CEO provides input on individual adjustments for all NEOs (other than himself).

For PSP programs with performance periods beginning in 2014, the program has been changed to apply individual performance adjustments to targets at the beginning of the period. The Committee believes this change to the program further strengthens the link between executive pay and Company performance, drives the right behaviors and actions and promotes stockholder value creation by putting the corporate and individual performance target for NEOs “at risk” during the three-year performance period.

Table of Contents

The number of target units is determined based on the fair market value of Company stock on the last trading day of the year prior to the beginning of the performance period. This stock price is discounted for dividend equivalents that will not be paid or accrued during the performance period.

In 2013 the Compensation Committee approved the PSP program for the performance period 2013—2015. The table below summarizes the PSP programs in effect during 2013:

 

Program    Metrics    Program Terms
PSP 2011—2013

per established terms and
conditions
PSP 2012—2014      

PSP 2013—2015

      Paid in cash at the end of the
performance period

The Committee believes that maintaining a balance between internal and relative metrics in the long-term incentive programs drives the right behaviors. Return on Capital Employed, which we refer to as ROCE, measures the efficiency of our capital program and TSR measures stockholder value creation during the performance period.

PSP 2011—2013 Payout (20 months)

For 2013, the Compensation Committee considered the following results when approving the payout for PSP 2011—2013.

Table of Contents

When determining payouts under PSP programs, the Compensation Committee evaluates TSR performance by comparing the performance of our stock price to the performance of our primary peers (excluding BP and Chevron) as well as the performance of the S&P 100 index. BP and Chevron are not included in the TSR analysis because of the effect of their upstream operations on their stock price. The Compensation Committee evaluates the quality of the results as well as our proximity to peers’ TSR and exercises judgment generally within the parameters outlined below:

 

TSR

To evaluate ROCE performance, the Compensation Committee compares Company results to stated internal benchmarks and our primary peer group to determine payouts.

PSP 2013—2015 Targets

The Compensation Committee approved the following targets for each NEO for the 2013—2015 performance period. The total target units are based on each executive’s base salary, the executive’s target percentage and Phillips 66 stock price (less anticipated ordinary cash dividends during the performance period) on December 31, 2012. The payout for the 2013—2015 performance period will generally range from 0 to 200 percent of the total target units below, depending on Company and

individual performance during this period. These values do not reflect promotional adjustments and may not match the accounting values presented in the “Grants of Plan Based Awards” table on page 48:

Stock Option Program

Twenty-five percent of LTI target value is delivered to executives in the form of Stock Options. These are inherently performance-based as the stock price must increase before the executive can realize any gain. We believe Stock Options drive behaviors and actions that enhance stockholder value.

Generally, Stock Options are granted in February each year. The option value is based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The exercise price of Stock Options is set at 100 percent of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock Options granted to our NEOs in February 2013 vest ratably over a three-year period and have a ten-year term. These Stock Options do not have voting rights or entitle the holder to receive dividends. The Compensation Committee assesses the individual performance of each NEO, and based on that assessment may adjust an award by +/- 30 percent of the target grant amount. The CEO provides input on the grant amounts and individual performance adjustments on all NEOs (other than himself). The Compensation Committee evaluates the individual performance of the CEO.

Stock Options that were granted to our NEOs in February 2013 are summarized in the following table:

 

Name  

Total Options  (1)

(#)

Mr. Garland   158,500
Ms. Johnson   12,000
Mr. Maxwell   24,600
Mr. Taylor   32,100
Mr. Ziemba   23,900

 

(1) 

Total options granted include individual performance adjustments for each of Messrs. Garland and Taylor of 15% of target. The Compensation Committee considered the 2012 Company performance when determining these individual adjustments.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

In 2013, for the first time, 25 percent of LTI target value was delivered to executives in the form of RSUs. The Compensation Committee believes the addition of RSUs to our LTI program enhances the overall compensation mix for our executives by:

 

   

Driving the right behaviors and actions consistent with creating stockholder value

 

   

Providing diversification of compensation in recognition of the cyclical nature of our industry

 

40


Table of Contents
   

Resulting in actual share ownership aligned with our stock ownership guidelines

 

   

Supporting executive retention

RSUs are typically granted in February each year. The number of units is determined based on the fair market value of Company stock on the date of grant. RSUs awarded to our NEOs in February 2013 cliff vest at the end of the three-year holding period and are delivered to the NEOs in the form of unrestricted Company stock. These RSUs do not carry voting rights but do generate dividend equivalents during the holding period. The Compensation Committee assesses the individual performance of each NEO, and based on that assessment may adjust an award by +/- 30 percent of the target grant amount. The CEO provides input regarding awards made to all NEOs (other than himself). The Compensation Committee evaluates the individual performance of the CEO.

RSUs that were granted to our NEOs in February 2013 are summarized below:

Mr. Ziemba     6,422

Total RSUs granted include individual performance adjustments for Mr. Garland, Ms. Johnson and Messrs. Maxwell and Taylor of 15%, 30%, 30% and 30% of target, respectively. The Compensation Committee considered the 2012 Company performance when determining these individual adjustments.

Other Benefits and Perquisites

Below is a summary of other compensation elements available to our NEOs in addition to the five main programs described above:

Broad-Based Employee Benefit Programs: NEOs participate in the same basic benefits package available to our other U.S. salaried employees. This package includes qualified pension; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, vision, life, and accident insurance plans, as well as flexible spending arrangements for health care and dependent care expenses; and our matching gift program.

Comprehensive Security Program: The Board has adopted a comprehensive security program to address the increased security risks for certain senior executives. Mr. Garland is the only NEO currently designated by the Board as requiring increased security under this program. This program allows for certain additional security measures in specific situations when the senior executive is traveling by car or airplane on Company business. An additional security review of the NEO’s personal residence is also included. Any additional costs to the Company for these activities are imputed to the NEO as Other Income and included in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 45.

Executive Retirement Plans: We maintain the following supplemental retirement plans for our NEOs.

 

   

Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan—This plan (the Phillips 66 Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan, which we refer to as the KEDCP) provides tax-efficient retirement savings by allowing executives to voluntarily defer both the receipt and taxation of a portion of

 

41


Table of Contents
 

their base salary and annual bonus until a specified date or when they leave the Company. Further information on the KEDCP is provided in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table beginning on page 55.

 

   

Defined Contribution Restoration Plan—This plan (the Phillips 66 Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan, which we refer to as the DCMP) restores benefits capped under our qualified defined contribution plan due to Internal Revenue Code limits. Further information on the DCMP is provided in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table beginning on page 55.

 

   

Defined Benefit Restoration Plan—This plan (the Phillips 66 Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan, which we refer to as the KESRP) restores Company-sponsored benefits capped under the qualified defined benefit pension plan due to Internal Revenue Code limits. Further information on the KESRP is provided in the “Pension Benefits as of December 31, 2013” table beginning on page 53.

Executive Life Insurance: We provide life insurance policies on all U.S.-based employees with a face value approximately equal to their annual base salary. For our NEOs, the face value of this coverage is approximately twice their annual base salary.

Executive Severance and Change in Control Plans: We do not maintain individual severance or change in control agreements with our executives. However, we maintain the Phillips 66 Executive Severance Plan and the Phillips 66 Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan, which we refer to as the CICSP, to accomplish several specific objectives, including:

 

   

Ensuring stockholder interests are protected during business transactions by providing benefits that promote senior management stability

 

   

Providing and preserving an economic motivation for participating executives to consider a business combination that might result in an executive’s job loss

 

   

Competing effectively in attracting and retaining executives in an industry that features frequent acquisitions and divestitures

Executives may not participate in both plans as a result of the same severance event. Among other benefits, the Executive Severance Plan provides a payment equal to one and one-half or two times the executive’s base salary, depending on salary grade level, if he or she is involuntarily terminated without cause. The CICSP provides a payment equal to two or three times the executive’s base salary, depending on salary grade level, if the executive is involuntarily terminated without cause in connection with a change in control or the executive terminates employment for good reason within two years after a change in control. This “double trigger” requirement is in the best interest of stockholders and is considered a best practice.

In 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment to the CICSP that eliminates the early vesting or accelerated lapsing of any equity award unless an executive is involuntarily terminated without cause or terminates employment for good reason within two years of a change in control. This amendment ensures that an executive does not benefit from the CICSP unless the executive’s employment status is negatively impacted by a change in control event. In accordance with provisions of the plan, this change is effective for any change in control events that occur after October 2015.

Details of potential payments under these plans are outlined in the “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” section beginning on page 57. These plans do not provide any tax gross-up protections.

Personal Use of Company Aircraft: The primary purpose of our corporate aircraft is to facilitate Company business. In the course of conducting Company business, executives will occasionally invite a family member or other personal guest to travel with them to attend a meeting or function. The Company believes this is important and serves a business purpose. When this is deemed taxable to the executive, we provide further payments to reimburse the costs of the inclusion of this item in his or her taxable income.

Executive Compensation Governance

Clawback Provisions

Short- and long-term compensation, deferred compensation and nonqualified retirement benefits received by any executive are subject to clawback provisions in the event financial or other data is materially misstated due to negligence or misconduct on the part of the executive, as determined by the Compensation and Audit Committees.

Stock Ownership

The Compensation Committee believes stock ownership guidelines align executive performance with stockholder value creation and mitigate compensation risk. Each executive must own the following amounts of Phillips 66 common stock within five years from the date of program eligibility:

 

Executive Level   Salary Multiple  
Chairman and CEO     6   
Executive Vice President     4   

RSUs, but not Stock Options or PSP targets, are included when determining the amount of stock owned by an executive. Compliance with the stock ownership guidelines is reviewed annually. All NEOs currently comply with these stock ownership guidelines or are on track to comply within the applicable five-year period.

Tax Considerations-Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 162(m)

IRC Section 162(m) generally limits the deductibility of compensation paid to the CEO and the three other highest-paid executive officers (other than the CFO) in any taxable year to $1 million unless compensation is performance-based and the performance criteria are approved by stockholders. The Compensation Committee considers this when making decisions and generally attempts to structure all elements of executive compensation to meet this exception. However, the Compensation Committee has the flexibility to design and maintain the executive compensation programs in a manner that is most beneficial overall to stockholders, including the payment of compensation that is subject to the deduction limits under IRC Section 162(m).

For 2013 the Compensation Committee believes it has taken the necessary steps intended to qualify payments made under the VCIP and awards made under the Long-Term Incentive programs (PSP and RSUs) as performance-based under IRC Section 162(m). Due to a technical error in administering its compliance with Section 162(m), the Company paid certain immaterial amounts under the VCIP for 2012 that were not deductible.

Trading Policies

Our insider trading policy prohibits all employees and directors from trading Company stock while in possession of material, non-publicly disclosed information. This policy requires executives and

 

43


Table of Contents

directors, as well as employees with regular access to insider information, to follow specific pre-clearance procedures before entering into transactions in our stock. Our policy prohibits hedging transactions related to our stock or pledging our stock, including any stock the executive or director may hold in excess of his or her stock ownership guideline requirements.

Independent Consultant

The Compensation Committee retains Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC as its independent executive compensation consultant. The Committee has evaluated whether Meridian’s work raised any conflict of interest and determined that no such conflict exists.

The primary role of this consultant is to advise the Committee on:

 

   

Our compensation programs and processes relative to external corporate governance standards

 

   

The appropriateness of our executive compensation programs in comparison to those of our peers

 

   

The efficacy of the compensation programs in accomplishing the objectives set by the Compensation Committee with respect to executives

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee oversees management’s risk assessment of all elements of our compensation programs, policies and practices for all employees. Management has concluded that our compensation programs, policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

(1) All amounts in this table reflect compensation received for 2013 and 2012—after our May 1, 2012 spin-off.

 

(2) Includes any amounts that were voluntarily deferred under our Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

(3) Because our annual bonus program (VCIP) has mandatory performance measures that must be achieved before any payout can be made to our NEOs, VCIP payments are shown in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the table rather than the Bonus column.

 

(4) Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Assumptions used in calculating these amounts are included in Note 19—Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

 

     The amounts shown for stock awards are from our PSP, RSU program and for off-cycle awards. No off-cycle awards were granted to our NEOs during 2013. These include awards that are expected to be finalized as late as 2015. The amounts shown for awards from the PSP relate to performance periods that began in 2012 and 2013 and that end in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

 

     Amounts shown, relating to PSP, are targets set for the PSP awards, because it is the probable outcome at the setting of the target for the applicable performance period that the target will be achieved consistent with the accounting treatment under FASB ASC Topic 718. If the maximum payout were used for the PSP awards, excluding any individual adjustments, the amounts shown relating to PSP would double, although the value of the actual payout would depend on the stock price at the time of the payout. If the minimum payout were used, the amounts for PSP awards would be reduced to zero. Actual payouts with regard to the targets set for the performance period that ended in 2013 were approved by the Compensation Committee at its February 2014 meeting. Those payouts were as follows (with values shown at fair market value on the date of payout): Mr. Garland, $13,165,295; Ms. Johnson, $1,442,499; Mr. Maxwell $2,518,520; Mr. Taylor, $3,068,814; and Mr. Ziemba, $2,393,591.

Table of Contents
     Awards under the PSP 2012-2014 are made in restricted stock units that will be forfeited if the NEO is terminated prior to the end of the escrow period set in the award (other than for death or following disability or after a change in control). The escrow period lasts five years from the grant of the award (which is in addition to the performance period) unless the NEO makes an election prior to the beginning of the program period to extend the escrow period until separation from service. In the case of termination due to death, layoff, or retirement after age 55 with five years of service, or after disability or a change in control, however, the escrow period ends at the exceptional termination event. In the event of termination due to layoff or retirement after age 55 with five years of service, restrictions lapse unless the NEO has elected to defer receipt of the stock until a later time.

 

     Awards under the PSP 2013—2015 are made in cash at the end of the performance period and are forfeited if the NEO is terminated prior to the end of the performance period (other than for death or following disability or after a change in control). If the NEO retires after age 55 and with five years of service, the NEO is entitled to a prorated award for any ongoing program in which he or she participated for at least 12 months.

 

(5) Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Assumptions used in calculating these amounts are included in Note 19—Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

 

(6) These are amounts paid under our annual bonus program (VCIP) for 2013, including bonus amounts that were voluntarily deferred under our Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan. See note (3) above. These amounts were paid in February 2014.

 

(7) Reflects the actuarial increase in the present value of the benefits under our pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. Interest rate assumption changes have a significant impact on the pension values. There are no deferred compensation earnings reported in this column, as our nonqualified deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market or preferential earnings.

 

     The present value of Mr. Garland’s pension benefit is calculated based on his highest three years of earnings over the last ten years. The increase in his pension benefits reflects a significant increase in earnings since his promotion to Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Ziemba

    2013                             3,234        3,123               5,032        20,400        90,661   

 

  (a) The Phillips 66 Comprehensive Security Program requires in certain circumstances that Mr. Garland fly on Company aircraft. The amount presented above represents the approximate incremental cost to Phillips 66 for personal use of the aircraft. Approximate incremental cost has been determined by calculating the variable costs for each aircraft during the year, dividing that amount by the total number of miles flown by that aircraft, and multiplying the result by the miles flown for personal use during the year. Incremental costs for flights to the hangar or other locations without passengers, commonly referred to as “deadhead” flights, are included in the amount above.

 

  (b) The use of a car and driver is sometimes required by our Comprehensive Security Program for certain executives, including Mr. Garland. The value shown represents the actual cost of car rental with driver service.

 

  (c) The use of a home security system is required as part of our Comprehensive Security Program for certain executives and employees, including Mr. Garland, based on risk assessments made by our Crisis Management and Security Manager. The amount shown represents upgrade costs to Mr. Garland’s home security system with features required by us that are in excess of the cost of a “standard” system typical for homes in the neighborhood where his home is located. Mr. Garland pays for the cost of the “standard” system.

 

  (d) We maintain life insurance policies and/or death benefits for all our U.S.-based salaried employees (at no cost to the employee) with a face value approximately equal to the employee’s annual salary. We maintain group life insurance policies on each of our NEOs equal to approximately two times his or her annual salary. The amounts shown are for premiums paid by us to provide the additional group life insurance above what is provided to the broad-based employees.

Table of Contents
  (e) The amounts shown primarily reflect payments by us relating to certain taxes incurred by the NEOs. These payments primarily occur when we request family members or other guests to accompany an NEO to a Company function and, as a result, the NEO is deemed to make personal use of Company assets such as Company aircraft and thereby incurs imputed income. We believe this type of expense is appropriately characterized as a business expense and, if the NEO incurs imputed income in accordance with applicable tax laws, we will generally reimburse the NEO for any increased tax costs. The amount for Mr. Garland includes $221 for gifts received in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

 

  (f) This amount reflects relocation expenses incurred by Messrs. Maxwell and Taylor in connection with their employment by the Company.

 

  (g) We maintain a Matching Gift Program under which certain gifts by employees to qualified educational or charitable institutions are matched by the Company. The program matches up to $15,000 annually.

 

  (h) Under the terms of our tax-qualified defined contribution plans, we make contributions to the accounts of all eligible employees, including the NEOs.

 

  (i) Under the terms of our nonqualified defined contribution plans, we make contributions to the accounts of all eligible employees, including the NEOs. See the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table and accompanying narrative and notes beginning on page 55 for more information.

(1) The grant date shown is the date on which the Compensation Committee approved the target awards. Ms. Johnson and Messrs. Maxwell, Taylor and Ziemba received promotions on May 1, 2013, the first anniversary of our spin-off from ConocoPhillips. The Compensation Committee approved these promotions at its April 2013 meeting, effective May 1, 2013. The grants shown above on May 1 represent the promotional target received by each executive under the PSP for the performance periods that end in 2013, 2014 and 2015. The PSP targets are adjusted for promotions during the performance period to reflect the executive’s new base salary and target percentage for the remainder of the performance period using the stock price established at the beginning of the performance period. The number of promotional target units and their fair market value on the May 1, 2013 date of grant for the PSP performance period ending in 2013 are as follows: Ms. Johnson, 3,207 units, $194,809; Mr. Maxwell, 1,708 units, $103,752; Mr. Taylor, 1,832 units, $111,285; Mr. Ziemba, 2,296 units, $139,470. The number of promotional target units and their fair market value on the May 1, 2013 date of grant for the PSP performance period ending in 2014 are as follows: Ms. Johnson, 7,110 units, $431,897; Mr. Maxwell, 3,790 units, $230,224; Mr. Taylor, 4,062 units, $246,746; Mr. Ziemba, 4,240 units, $257,559. The number of promotional target units and their fair market value on the May 1, 2013 date of grant for the PSP performance period ending in 2015 are as follows: Ms. Johnson, 6,311 units, $383,362; Mr. Maxwell, 3,388 units, $205,804; Mr. Taylor, 3,762 units, $228,523; Mr. Ziemba, 3,868 units, $234,961.

 

(2)

Threshold and maximum awards are based on the provisions in the VCIP. Actual awards earned can range from 0 to 200 percent of the target awards, with a further possible adjustment of +/- 50 percent of the target award for individual performance. The Compensation Committee retains the authority to make awards under the program and to use its judgment in adjusting awards, including making awards greater than the amounts shown in the table above, provided the award does not exceed amounts permitted under the 2013

Table of Contents
  Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of Phillips 66, approved by stockholders. Actual payouts under the annual bonus program for 2013 are calculated using base salary earned in 2013 and reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 45.

 

(3) Threshold and maximum awards are based on the provisions of the PSP. Actual awards earned can range from 0 to 200 percent of the target awards. Performance periods under the PSP cover a three-year period, and since a new three-year period commences each year, there could be three overlapping performance periods ongoing at any time. In 2013, all the NEOs received an award for the three-year performance period beginning in 2013 and ending in 2015. The Compensation Committee retains the authority to make awards under the PSP using its judgment, including making awards greater than the maximum payout shown in the table above, provided the award does not exceed amounts permitted under the 2013 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of Phillips 66.

 

(4) For equity incentive plan awards, these amounts represent the grant date fair value at target level under the PSP as determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718. For Stock Option awards, these amounts represent the grant date fair value of the option awards using a Black-Scholes-Merton-based methodology. Actual value realized upon option exercise depends on market prices at the time of exercise. For other stock awards, these amounts represent the grant date fair value of the RSU awards determined pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718. See Note 19—Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement, for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in this determination.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

The following table lists outstanding Phillips 66 equity grants for each NEO as of December 31, 2013.

Some awards held by NEOs at the time of our spin-off from ConocoPhillips were adjusted or substituted as described below in order to preserve the intrinsic value, remaining vesting periods, and other terms and conditions of ConocoPhillips awards outstanding on April 30, 2012, in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement entered into with ConocoPhillips.

 

   

NEOs with exercisable ConocoPhillips Stock Options received options to purchase both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 common stock

 

   

NEOs with unexercisable ConocoPhillips Stock Options received substitute options to purchase only Phillips 66 common stock

 

   

NEOs with restricted stock and PSU awards for completed performance periods under the ConocoPhillips PSP received both ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 Restricted Stock and PSUs

 

   

NEOs with Restricted Stock and RSUs received under all ConocoPhillips programs, other than the ConocoPhillips PSP, received Phillips 66 Restricted Stock and RSUs

(1) All options shown in the table have a maximum term for exercise of ten years from the grant date. Under certain circumstances, the terms for exercise may be shorter, and in certain circumstances, the options may be forfeited and cancelled. All awards shown in the table have associated restrictions upon transferability.

 

(2) The dates presented in this column represent the date the awards were granted by ConocoPhillips for grants prior to the spin-off from ConocoPhillips, and by Phillips 66 for all other awards. The awards granted prior to the spin-off were converted to Phillips 66 equity awards in connection with the spin-off and in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement and remain subject to the same general terms and conditions.

 

(3) The options shown in this column vested and became exercisable in 2013 or prior years (although under certain termination circumstances, the options may still be forfeited). Options become exercisable in one-third increments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date.

Table of Contents
(4) Represents the vesting of the final one-third of the February 10, 2011 grant, which became exercisable on February 10, 2014.

 

(5) Represents the vesting of the final two-thirds of the February 9, 2012 grant, half of which became exercisable on February 9, 2014 and the other half which will become exercisable on February 9, 2015.

 

(6) Represents the February 7, 2013 grant. One-third of the grant became exercisable on February 7, 2014, one-third will become exercisable on February 7, 2015, and one-third will become exercisable on February 7, 2016.

 

(7) These amounts include unvested restricted stock and RSUs awarded under the PSP for performance periods ending on or before December 31, 2012; awarded to Messrs. Maxwell and Taylor as an inducement to employment with ConocoPhillips; awarded to Mr. Garland, Ms. Johnson and Messrs. Maxwell and Taylor as special awards in 2012; and awarded as annual awards. These amounts also include the unvested RSU awards under the PSP for the performance period that ended December 31, 2013, as follows: Mr. Garland, 182,206 units; Ms. Johnson, 19,964 units; Mr. Maxwell, 34,856 units; Mr. Taylor, 42,472 units; and Mr. Ziemba, 33,127 units. All awards continue to have restrictions upon transferability. Restrictions on PSP awards for performance periods beginning prior to 2009 lapse upon separation from service. Restrictions on PSP awards for later performance periods lapse five years from the grant date unless the NEO elected prior to the beginning of the performance period to defer lapsing of the restrictions until separation from service. Awards are subject to forfeiture if, prior to lapsing, the NEO separates from service for a reason other than death, disability, layoff, retirement after reaching age 55 with five years of service, or after a change of control, although the Compensation Committee has the authority to waive forfeiture. The awards have no voting rights, but do entitle the holder to receive dividend equivalents in cash. The value of the awards reflects the closing price of our stock, as reported on the NYSE, on December 31, 2013 ($77.13). Awards granted under the PSP for periods beginning in 2012 were recently made subject to additional performance criteria in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(8) Reflects potential awards from ongoing performance periods under the PSP for performance periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. These awards are shown at maximum levels; however, there is no assurance that awards will be granted at, below or above target after the end of the relevant performance periods, as the determination to make a grant and the amount of any grant is within the judgment of the Compensation Committee. Until an actual grant is made, these unearned awards pay no dividend equivalents. The value of these unearned awards reflects the closing price of our stock, as reported on the NYSE, on December 31, 2013 ($77.13).

Pension Benefits as of December 31, 2013

Our defined benefit pension plan covering executives, the Phillips 66 Retirement Plan, consists of multiple titles with different terms. Executives are only eligible to participate in one title, but may have frozen benefits under one or more other titles.

IRS limitations

   Benefits under all Titles are limited by the Internal Revenue Code. In 2013, that limit was $255,000. The Internal Revenue Code also limits the annual benefit available under these Titles expressed as an annuity. In 2013, that limit was $205,000 (reduced actuarially for ages below 62).

 

(1)

Mr. Maxwell has a frozen benefit under Title I from prior years of service with predecessor companies.

 

(2)

Executives whose combined years of age and service total less than 44 receive a six percent pay credit, those with 44 through 65 receive a seven percent pay credit and those with 66 or more receive a 9 percent pay credit.

 

     Interest credits are applied to the cash balance account each month. This credit is calculated by multiplying the value of the account by the interest credit rate, based on 30-year U.S. Treasury security rates adjusted quarterly.

 

(3)

An early benefit reduction is calculated on Title I, by reducing the benefit five percent for each year before age 60 that benefits are paid. An early benefit reduction is calculated on Title III, by reducing the benefit 6.67% for each year before age 60 that benefits are paid, unless the participant has at least 85 points awarded, with one point for each year of age and

 

53


Table of Contents
  one point for each year of service. Title IV early benefit reduction is calculated by reducing the benefit by five percent per year for each year before age 57 that benefits are paid and 4 percent per year for benefits that are paid between ages 57 and 60. The benefit calculation for Titles I, III and IV is reduced by the product of 1.5 percent of the annual primary social security benefit multiplied by years of credited service, although a minimum reduction limit of 50 percent may apply.

 

(4) 

Under Title I, if an executive receives layoff benefits, then the eligible compensation calculation also includes the annualized salary for the year of layoff (rather than the actual salary for that year) and years of service are increased by any period for which layoff benefits are calculated.

 

(5) 

Messrs. Maxwell and Taylor are vested in their benefits due to prior service with ConocoPhillips and predecessor companies.

(1) Years of credited service include service recognized under the predecessor ConocoPhillips plans from which these plans were spun off effective May 1, 2012. Mr. Maxwell is credited with a total of 25 years of service under the plans described above. The number of years of service credited under Title I is frozen at 23 years of service, but the number of years of service counted under Title II increases each year that he remains employed by us. His years of service under Title I are related to his employment with ConocoPhillips predecessor companies prior to 2000.

 

(2) The eligible pension compensation used to determine the present value of the accumulated benefit for each NEO as of December 31, 2013 is as follows: Mr. Garland, $7,762,315; Ms. Johnson, $2,007,441; Mr. Maxwell, $1,360,609; Mr. Taylor, $1,756,815; and Mr. Ziemba, $1,732,496.

 

(3) The present value of Mr. Garland’s pension benefit is calculated based on his highest three years of earnings over the last ten years. The increase in the present value of his pension benefit reflects a significant increase in earnings since his promotion to Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in two nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the Phillips 66 Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan, which we refer to as the KEDCP, and the Phillips 66 Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan, which we refer to as the DCMP.

The KEDCP allows executives to reduce salary voluntarily and request deferral of VCIP or other similar annual incentive compensation program payments that would otherwise be received in the subsequent year. Executives may defer up to 50 percent of salary and up to 100 percent of VCIP payments. The default distribution option is a lump sum payment paid at least six months after separation from service. Executives may elect to defer payments from one to five years, and to receive annual, semiannual or quarterly payments for a period of up to fifteen years. Executives may also elect to defer their VCIP to a specific date in the future.

The DCMP is a nonqualified restoration plan for employer contributions that cannot be made to our 401(k) plan either due to an executive’s salary deferral under the KEDCP or due to the Internal Revenue Code annual limit on compensation that may be taken into account under a qualified plan. Distributions are made as a lump sum six months after separation from service, unless the executive elects to receive one to fifteen annual payments beginning at least one year after separation from service.

Each executive directs investments of his or her individual accounts under the KEDCP and DCMP. Both plans provide a broad range of market-based investments that may be changed daily. No investment provides above-market returns. The aggregate performance of these investments is reflected in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table below.

Benefits due under these plans are paid from our general assets, although we also maintain rabbi trusts that may be used to pay benefits. The trusts and the funds held in them are Company assets. In the event of our bankruptcy, executives would be unsecured general creditors.

(1) We have two defined contribution deferred compensation programs for our executives—the DCMP and the KEDCP. As of December 31, 2013 participants in these plans had 97 investment options. Forty of the options were the same as those available in our 401(k) plan and the remaining options were other mutual funds approved by the plan administrator.

 

(2) These amounts represent Company contributions under the DCMP. These amounts are also included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 45.

 

(3) These amounts represent earnings on plan balances from January 1 to December 31, 2013. These amounts are not included in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 45.

 

(4) The total reflects contributions by our NEOs, contributions by us, and earnings on balances prior to 2013; plus contributions by our NEOs, contributions by us, and earnings from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 (shown in the appropriate columns of this table, with amounts that are included in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 45 shown in footnote 2 above).

Table of Contents

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

The tables at the end of this section summarize the potential value, as of December 31, 2013, of the incremental benefits to be received by each NEO due to an involuntary termination without cause or a change in control event as of December 31, 2013.

Each of our NEOs is expected to receive amounts earned during his or her period of employment unless he or she voluntarily resigns prior to becoming retirement-eligible or is terminated for cause. Such amounts include:

 

   

VCIP earned during the fiscal year

 

   

Grants under the PSP for the most-recently completed performance period and ongoing performance periods in which the executive participated for at least one year

 

   

Previously granted restricted stock and RSUs

 

   

Vested Stock Option grants

 

   

Amounts contributed and vested under our defined contribution plans

 

   

Amounts accrued and vested under our pension plans

Although normal retirement age under our benefit plans is 65, early retirement provisions allow receipt of benefits at earlier ages if vesting requirements are met. For our incentive compensation programs (VCIP, Stock Options, and PSP), early retirement is generally defined as termination at or after the age of 55 with five years of service.

As of December 31, 2013, all of our NEOs except Ms. Johnson were retirement-eligible under both our benefit plans and our compensation programs. Therefore, as of December 31, 2013, a voluntary resignation of any NEO other than Ms. Johnson would have been treated as a retirement. Because the NEOs other than Ms. Johnson were then eligible for retirement under these programs, they would have been able to resign and retain all awards earned under the current PSP and earlier programs. As a result, the awards to them under these programs are not included in the incremental amounts reflected in the tables below. Please see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End” table on page 50 for more information.

In addition, our NEOs participate in two severance plans—the Phillips 66 Executive Severance Plan, which we refer to as the ESP, and the Phillips 66 Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan, which we refer to as the CICSP. Executives are not entitled to receive benefits under both plans as a result of the same change-in-control event.

Executive Severance Plan: The ESP provides that if we terminate the employment of an executive other than for cause, the executive will receive the following benefits, which may vary depending on salary grade level:

 

   

A lump sum payment equal to one and one-half or two times the sum of the executive’s base salary and current target annual bonus

 

   

A lump sum payment equal to the present value of the increase in pension benefits that would result from crediting the executive with an additional one and one-half or two years of age and service under the pension plan

 

   

A lump sum payment equal to the Company cost of certain welfare benefits for an additional one and one-half or two years

 

57


Table of Contents
   

Continued eligibility for a pro rata portion of the annual bonus paid with respect to the year of termination

 

   

Layoff treatment under our compensation plans that generally allows the executive to retain grants of Restricted Stock and RSUs, and maintain eligibility for PSP awards for ongoing periods in which he or she had participated for at least one year

Amounts payable under the ESP are offset by any payments or benefits payable under any of our other plans, and may also be reduced in the event of willful and bad faith conduct demonstrably injurious to the Company. As described above, the ESP and CICSP are Company plans under which awards and payments are subject to clawback provisions and to forfeiture or recoupment, in whole or in part, under applicable law, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act.

Change in Control Severance Plan: The CICSP provides that if, within two years of a change in control of the Company, an executive’s employment is terminated, other than for cause, or by the executive for good reason, the executive will receive the following benefits, which may vary depending on salary grade level:

 

   

A lump sum payment equal to two or three times the sum of the executive’s base salary and the higher of the current target annual bonus or the average of the annual bonuses paid for the previous two years

 

   

A lump sum payment equal to the present value of the increase in pension benefits that would result from crediting the executive with an additional two or three years of age and service under the pension plan

 

   

A lump sum payment equal to the Company cost of certain welfare benefits for an additional two or three years

 

   

Continued eligibility for a pro rata portion of the annual bonus paid with respect to the year of termination

In 2013 the Compensation Committee amended the terms of the CICSP to require an executive to be severed, as defined in the plan, before vesting in any equity awards or any acceleration of lapsing. Per the terms of the plan, this change is effective for any change in control events that occur after October 1, 2015.

For any change in control events prior to that effective date, the executive would become eligible for vesting in all equity awards and lapsing of any restrictions, with continued ability to exercise Stock Options for their remaining terms.

After a change in control, the CICSP may not be amended or terminated if doing so would be adverse to the interests of any eligible participant without the participant’s written consent. Amounts payable under the CICSP are offset by any payments or benefits payable under any of our other plans, and may also be reduced in the event of willful and bad faith conduct demonstrably injurious to the Company.

Certain assumptions have been made in preparing each of the tables below. Benefits that would be available generally to all or substantially all salaried employees on the U.S. payroll are not included in the amounts shown. The following assumptions were also made:

 

   

Short-Term Incentives—In the event of an involuntary not-for-cause termination unrelated to a change in control, the amount reflects one and one-half or two times current VCIP target. In

 

58


Table of Contents
 

the event of an involuntary termination or termination by the executive for good reason related to a change in control, the amount reflects two or three times current VCIP target or two or three times the average of the prior two VCIP payouts.

 

   

Long-Term Incentives—For the performance periods related to PSP, amounts for the period that ended in 2013 are shown based on the number of shares granted in February 2014 for the 2011—2013 performance period, while amounts for other periods are prorated to reflect the portion of the performance period completed by the end of 2013 and shown at maximum payout levels. For the PSP awards, for Restricted Stock and RSUs, amounts reflect the closing price of our stock as reported on the NYSE on December 31, 2013 ($77.13).

 

   

Stock Options—For Stock Options with an exercise price lower than our stock’s closing price on December 31, 2013, amounts reflect the intrinsic value as if the options had been exercised on December 31, 2013, but only for options the NEO would have retained for the specific termination event.

 

   

Incremental Pension Values—Regardless of whether the value is provided directly through a pension plan or through the relevant severance plan, in the event of an involuntary not-for-cause termination unrelated to a change in control, the amount reflects the single sum value of deeming one and a half or two additional years of age and service. In the event of an involuntary or good reason termination related to a change in control, the amount reflects the single sum value of deeming two or three additional years of age and service.

 

   

Post-employment Health & Welfare—In the event of an involuntary not-for-cause termination not related to a change in control, the amount reflects the value of certain health and welfare benefits for one and a half or two additional years of service which is paid in a lump sum. In the event of an involuntary or good reason termination related to a change in control, the amount reflects the value of certain health and welfare benefits for two or three additional years of service which is paid in a lump sum.
