To My Fellow Shareholders:
The Board of Directors and executive leadership team cordially invite you to attend the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at the Houston Marriott Westchase, 2900 Briarpark Drive, Houston, Texas 77042, on Wednesday, May 3 at 9:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time. You will find information regarding the matters to be voted on at the meeting in the attached proxy statement.
Your company. Phillips 66 is a diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company with a portfolio of midstream, chemicals, refining, and marketing and specialties businesses. Our diverse portfolio, resilient cash flow and disciplined capital allocation position us to capitalize on opportunities across the value chain. Our corporate strategy remains unchanged and clearwe aim to deliver profitable growth, enhance returns on capital, and grow shareholder distributions, underpinned by strong operating excellence and a high-performing organization. These founding principles remain the pillars of all that we do. I look forward to sharing more about your company when we gather for our annual meeting.
Safety. Honor. Commitment. These are the values that guide how the 14,800 employees of Phillips 66 conduct business every day as they work to fulfill our mission to provide energy and improve lives. We are also guided by our four pillars of sustainability: operational excellence, environmental commitment, social responsibility and economic performance.
Our commitment to shareholder engagement. We value the perspectives our shareholders provide by participating at our annual meeting and engaging in conversations with us throughout the year. In 2016, we invited shareholders representing approximately half of our shares outstanding to discuss governance, compensation and other topics of interest to our shareholders. In response, shareholders provided valuable feedback that was shared with the full Board, which considered that feedback in its decision making process. As a result of these discussions, the Board adopted a proxy access bylaw earlier this year. The valuable input we receive from shareholders is very important to the Board and we look forward to continuing our dialogue in the coming year.
Growing shareholder distributions. We understand the importance of growing shareholder distributions in the form of share repurchases and dividends. In 2016, we increased the dividend by 13 percent and returned $2.3 billion of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting in person, and no matter how many shares you own, please vote by telephone or the Internet, or mark your vote on the enclosed proxy card and sign, date, and return it by mail.

Phillips 66 supports educational programs that contribute to the vibrancy and resilience of communities. Recognizing that an educated workforce moves the world forward, we invest in teaching the skills that are critical to developing energy solutions for the 21st century. Key among these skills is competence in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines.
One way we demonstrate that support is our participation with the MIND Research Institute, a nonprofit organization that develops visually based software to enhance learning and brings visual math instruction and game-based learning to local schools. MIND's signature ST Math program, game-based instructional software for K-12, is designed to boost math comprehension and proficiency through visual learning. With this program, we aim to instill a love of math in students and develop tomorrow's problem solvers.
Since 2014, Phillips 66 has contributed $2.5 million to the Institute and sponsored the ST Math program in 50 schools, many of them in the communities in which we operate: Freeport, Brazoria, and Houston, Texas; Ponca City, Oklahoma; Billings, Montana; Ferndale, Washington; and Wilmington, California. We often accompany this gift with the technology needed to ensure a successful implementation, such as 3-D printers and Chromebook computers.
Among the children sitting in classrooms today are tomorrow's energy industry leaders. That's why Phillips 66 is investing in STEM education. We believe that this partnership will help us fuel students' interest in science, technology, engineering and math, while preparing them for the future.

Your Company
Phillips 66 is a diversified energy manufacturing and logistics company. With a unique portfolio of assets in the Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties businesses, the Company processes, transports, stores and markets fuels and products globally. Our industry is vitally important to the global economy. Fossil fuels, particularly oil and natural gas, are the world's primary energy source and are expected to remain so for decades to come. These sources are abundant and reliable, affordable and efficient. Phillips 66's mission is to provide energy and improve lives through operating excellence, delivering energy safely, efficiently and sustainably. We improve lives by responsibly providing energy products that are essential for a high standard of living and health throughout the world.
Our financial performance in 2016 demonstrated the resiliency of our diversified portfolio in a volatile market. We create value by focusing on operating excellence, enhancing returns in Refining and executing our Midstream and Chemicals growth programs. Our balance sheet is strong, and we maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation. The graph below shows our total shareholder return (TSR) since May 2012 compared to the S&P 100 Index and our performance peer group, which is detailed in Peer Group ComparisonsPerformance Peer Group in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.

PROXY SUMMARY |
Since the Company's inception in May 2012, our strategic priorities have remained unchanged. The following graphic summarizes highlights of our performance during 2016 as measured by our compensation program performance targets, which are discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Summary of Governance Best Practices
Earlier this year, in response to feedback we received from our shareholders, our Board adopted a proxy access bylaw, which is included among our corporate governance best practices summarized below:
BEST PRACTICES |
|
|
---|---|---|
| | |
✓ Majority voting for Directors |
||
✓ Provide 3%/3 year/20% proxy access right |
||
✓ Robust shareholder engagement program covering large percentage of outstanding shares and proxy advisory firms |
||
✓ Substantial majority of independent Directors |
||
✓ Independent Lead Director with clearly defined responsibilities |
||
✓ Independent Board Committees |
||
✓ Executive sessions of independent Directors |
||
✓ Stock ownership guidelines |
||
✓ Prohibition on pledging and hedging of our stock |
||
✓ Clawback policy |
||
✓ Regular Board and Committee self-evaluations |
||
✓ Risk oversight by the full Board and Committees |
||
✓ Company does not have a poison pill |
||
| | |
Board Diversity and Independence
Our business requires that we not only bring together a knowledgeable and qualified leadership team, but one with diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. The composition of our Board and the experiences and backgrounds of our executives reflect the Company's ongoing organizational commitment to diversity. In addition, the Nominating and Governance
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 5
PROXY SUMMARY |
Committee, which we may also refer to as the Nominating Committee, seeks Board members who possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and are committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company's shareholders. The Nominating Committee regularly reviews the composition of the Board and the evolving needs of the Company's businesses to ensure 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, environment, and energy-related industries, sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the Company's strategic and operational objectives. The charts below highlight the diversity and independence of our ten-member Board of Directors.
Our Shareholder Engagement Effort
Throughout the past year, we invited shareholders representing approximately half of our shares outstanding to discuss topics of interest to our shareholders. In response, shareholders provided valuable feedback that was shared with the full Board, which considered that feedback in its decision making process. Topics discussed included our strategy and performance; corporate governance matters; our executive compensation programs; and environmental and social concerns. As a direct result of these discussions, we recently adopted a proxy access bylaw giving shareholders holding at least 3 percent of our shares for at least 3 years the right to include in the proxy statement director nominees for up to 20 percent of the Board (but not less than two nominees). In addition, we encouraged shareholders at the last two annual meetings to approve a management proposal to eliminate our classified board structure and permit all directors to be elected annually. Unfortunately, the proposal did not receive the required vote to pass in either year. We consulted with our proxy solicitor, who advised us, based on its analysis of our shareholder base, that the proposal would likely not be successful this year. We also discussed this topic with our largest investors and they conveyed understanding for this conclusion. Therefore, we are not resubmitting the proposal at the Annual Meeting, but will continue to discuss this matter and others with our investors to ensure they have a meaningful voice in our boardroom.
In addition, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, which we refer to as the Compensation Committee, values these discussions and encourages shareholders to provide comments about our executive compensation programs. Based on the overwhelmingly positive result of our 2016 say-on-pay vote (95% support), as well as the feedback received during ongoing shareholder engagement meetings, we believe our shareholders approve of our executive compensation program and recognize its link to our business strategy. Nevertheless, we continue to evaluate our compensation program in light of evolving best practices to ensure alignment with shareholder interests.

2017 PROXY STATEMENT 7
This proxy statement and accompanying proxy are being provided to shareholders on or about March 22, 2017, in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Phillips 66 of proxies to be voted at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 3, 2017.
The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors, which we may also refer to as the Board, annually review the Company's governance structure to take into account changes in Securities and Exchange Commission (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 61), address the following matters, among others:
Chairman and CEO Roles
Although the Board of Directors has the authority to separate the positions of Chairman and CEO if it deems appropriate, the Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company's shareholders 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 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, currently is best suited to serve as Chairman and perform this unified role.
The Board of Directors believes that no single organizational model is the most effective in all circumstances. As a consequence, the Board periodically considers whether the offices of Chairman and CEO should continue to be combined and who should serve in such capacities. The Board also periodically reexamines its corporate governance policies and leadership structure to ensure that they continue to meet the Company's needs. As part of this review, the Board rotated committee chairs and committee membership in 2016. The decision to rotate committee positions was not taken lightly given the benefits that can come from continuity and the expertise of members. The Nominating Committee, however, believed that rotating committee positions would be beneficial, providing fresh perspectives and enhancing Directors' familiarity with different aspects of the Company's business while maintaining subject matter expertise on all committees.
8 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY |
Independent Director Leadership
The Board of Directors has adopted strong governance practices to ensure that an appropriate balance of power exists between the non-employee Directors and management, including:
Glenn Tilton has served as our Lead Director since February 2016. In appointing a Lead Director, the Board of Directors considered it 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:
The Board of Directors believes that its current structure and processes encourage its non-employee Directors to be actively involved in guiding its work. The chairs of the Board's committees review their respective agendas and committee materials in advance of each meeting, 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 Board meeting and, when there are non-employee Directors who are not independent, that the independent Directors meet in executive session at least annually. The Lead Director presides at such executive sessions. Each executive session may include discussions of, among other things, (1) the performance of the Chairman and the CEO, (2) matters concerning the
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 9
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY |
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 to make presentations, respond to questions, or provide counsel on specific matters within their areas of expertise.
Effective October 2016, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the membership of the Board committees was revised as set forth below.

The charters for our Audit Committee, Executive Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating Committee, and Public Policy Committee can be found in the "Investors" section on the Phillips 66 website under the "Governance" caption. Shareholders may also request printed copies of these charters by following the instructions located under the caption Available Information on page 61.
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 Mr. Garland, 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, shareholder 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. In making independence determinations, the Board of Directors specifically considered the fact that many of our Directors are directors, current or retired officers or shareholders 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 13). 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.
SHAREHOLDER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
The Company's values embrace shareholder engagement as an important tenet of good governance. We value the views of our shareholders and believe that positive dialogue builds informed relationships that promote transparency and accountability. Although the Lead Director or other members of the Board are available to participate in meetings with shareholders as appropriate, management has the principal responsibility for shareholder communication. As part of our annual engagement efforts in 2016, we invited shareholders representing approximately half of our shares outstanding, and other interested parties, to discuss matters of interest to them. Topics discussed included our strategy and performance; corporate governance matters; our executive compensation programs; and environmental and social concerns. The valuable feedback received was then shared with the full Board, which considered the feedback in its decision making process. As a direct result of these discussions, we adopted a proxy access bylaw giving shareholders holding at least 3 percent of our shares for at least 3 years the right to include in the proxy statement director nominees for up to 20 percent of the Board (but not less than two nominees). In addition, we encouraged shareholders at the last two annual meetings to approve a
10 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY |
charter amendment that would eliminate the classified board structure and permit all directors to be elected annually. Unfortunately, the proposal did not receive the required vote to pass in either year. We consulted with our proxy solicitor, who advised us, based on its analysis of our shareholder base, that the proposal would likely not be successful this year. We also discussed this topic with our largest investors and they conveyed understanding for this conclusion. Therefore, we are not resubmitting the proposal at the Annual Meeting, but will continue to assess the proposal and its potential for adoption in the future.
We also believe that engagement and good governance involve participating in political or public policy activities that advance the Company's goals, are consistent with Company values and improve the communities where we work and live. A number of federal, state and local laws govern corporate involvement in such activities, and we maintain policies and procedures to comply with these laws. The Public Policy Committee is responsible for overseeing our political and public policy work and related activities about which it receives regular reports. Additional information about our involvement in political or public policy activities is available on our website.
Phillips 66 is dedicated to meeting the world's energy needs responsibly, efficiently and sustainably. For us, sustainability means manufacturing and delivering affordable, clean products in a safe and environmentally sound manner. Our sustainability efforts are built on four pillars: operational excellence, environmental commitment, social responsibility and economic performance.
More than one-third of our U.S. refineries have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR® Award, which recognizes their top-quartile energy efficiency performance. In addition, 25 of our sites have received Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) certification for their strong safety records and comprehensive safety and health management systems.
Our commitment to excellence compels us to invest in environmental projects and sustaining capital to improve our operations. The results are industry-leading practices and improved environmental performance. We invested more than $5.4 billion in refining environmental projects and improvements from 2003 through 2015. During that time, we reduced SOx emissions by 90 percent, NOx emissions by 55 percent and particulate matter by 57 percent.
Phillips 66 is investing in its future by conducting research to manage water consumption, improve energy efficiency and provide technology to change the future of power generation. We seek solutions for tomorrow's energy needs, from opportunities to blend biofuels into clean products to co-founding forward-looking think tanks, such as the Fuels Institute. Phillips 66 is one of the few energy companies with a state-of-the-art Research Center. We have more than 350 scientists and engineers in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, conducting research to enhance the safety and reliability of our operations and to develop future air, water and energy solutions.
Additional information regarding our commitment to sustainability, including our Sustainability Highlights Brochure, can be found in the Sustainability section of our website.
To support shareholder engagement, the Company maintains a process for shareholders and interested parties to communicate with the Board of Directors. Shareholders and interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors by contacting our Corporate Secretary, Paula A. Johnson, as provided below:

certain items unrelated to its duties and responsibilities not be distributed, such as: business solicitations or advertisements; junk mail and mass mailings; new product suggestions; product complaints; product inquiries; résumés 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.
Recognizing that director attendance at the Company's Annual Meeting can provide the Company's shareholders 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 Shareholders. All of our Directors attended the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The Board of Directors met six times in 2016. Each Director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of:
The Company's management is responsible for the day-to-day conduct of our businesses and operations, including management of risks the Company faces. To fulfill this responsibility, our management has established an enterprise risk management program designed to identify and facilitate management of the significant and diverse risks facing the Company and the approaches to mitigate such risks. The Board of Directors has broad oversight responsibility over the Company's enterprise risk management program and receives management updates on its development and implementation. 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 executing its responsibilities, the Board of Directors has delegated to individual committees certain elements of this oversight function, while retaining oversight responsibility for strategic risks. In this context, the Board of Directors delegated authority to the Audit Committee to facilitate coordination among the Board's committees with respect to oversight of the Company's risk management programs. Accordingly, the Audit Committee regularly receives updates on the enterprise risk management program and discusses the Company's risk assessment and risk management policies to ensure that our risk management programs are functioning properly.
The Board of Directors, either directly or through its committees, 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. The Board of Directors
12 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY |
receives regular updates from its committees on individual areas of risk falling within each committee's area of oversight and expertise, as outlined below:
CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT
Phillips 66 has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct for Directors and Employees designed to help 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. Shareholders 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 61.
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 Committee or, in the case of executive officers, the Chair of the Audit 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 Nominating 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 2016, 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
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 13
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY |
family members) had a direct or indirect material interest. The Nominating 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, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer. Included in its review were ordinary course of business transactions with companies employing a director, such as ordinary course of business transactions with ITT Inc., of which Ms. Ramos serves as CEO and President. The Nominating Committee determined that there were no transactions impairing the independence of any member of the Board.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE EVALUATIONS
Each committee performs an annual self-assessment, and the Nominating Committee and Lead Director oversee an annual self-assessment of the Board, which includes an evaluation survey and individual discussions between the Lead Director and each other Director. A summary of the results of each committee's self-assessment is presented to the committee and discussed in executive session. The Lead Director presents a summary of the results of the Board evaluation to the Board in executive session. Any matters requiring further action are identified and action plans developed to address the matter.
NOMINATING PROCESSES OF
THE NOMINATING AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
The Nominating Committee consists of four non-employee Directors, all of whom are independent under NYSE listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating Committee identifies, considers 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 shareholders to nominate candidates for director election at a shareholders meeting whether or not such nominee is submitted to and evaluated by the Nominating Committee. Shareholders who wish to submit nominees for election at an annual or special meeting of shareholders should follow the procedures described under Submission of Future Shareholder Proposals on page 61. The Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. If a shareholder 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 shareholder. In addition, the shareholder should provide such other information deemed relevant to the Nominating Committee's evaluation. Candidates recommended by the Company's shareholders 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.
14 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
Our By-Laws provide that the Directors are divided into three classes, which are to be as nearly equal in size as possible, with one class being elected each year. The Board of Directors has set the current number of Directors at ten, with two classes of three Directors each and one class of four Directors. Any director vacancies created between annual shareholder 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 shareholders 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 shareholders, only our shareholders would be entitled to elect a successor.
We expect each nominee will be able to serve if elected. If, however, a nominee is unable to serve 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.
The names, principal occupations and certain other information about each nominee for director, as well as key experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills that led the Nominating Committee to conclude that each nominee is currently qualified to serve as a director, are set forth on the following pages.
For information on the compensation of our non-employee Directors, please see the the discussion beginning on page 53.

Majority Voting
Our By-Laws require directors to be elected by the majority of the votes cast with respect to such director (i.e., the number of votes cast "for" a director must exceed the number of votes cast "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 would be 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 decide 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 recommendation of the Nominating Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to his or her resignation. 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.
Nominations
In selecting the 2017 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 shareholders. 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 strategic and operational

22 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company's financial statements. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2017. Ernst & Young has been retained as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm continuously since 2012.
The Audit Committee annually considers the independence of the Company's independent auditors prior to the firm's engagement, and periodically considers whether a regular rotation of the independent auditors is necessary to assure continuing independence. The Audit Committee and its Chairman are directly involved in the selection of Ernst & Young's lead engagement partner.
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the continued retention of Ernst & Young is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. We are asking you to vote on a proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP.
The submission of this matter for approval by shareholders is not legally required, but the Board and the Audit Committee believe it provides an opportunity for shareholders to vote on an important aspect of corporate governance. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection of that firm as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may in its discretion select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Services Provided by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Audit services of Ernst & Young for fiscal year 2016 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 below. In connection with the audit of the 2016 consolidated financial statements, we entered into an engagement agreement with Ernst & Young that set forth the terms by which Ernst & Young performed audit services for us.
The Audit Committee is responsible for negotiating the audit fee associated with its retention of Ernst & Young. Ernst & Young's fees for professional services totaled $14.5 million for 2016 and $12.9 million for 2015, which consisted of the following:

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 Ernst & Young may provide 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, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all services to be provided by Ernst & Young. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to approve permitted services to its Chair. Such approval must be reported to the entire Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

PROPOSAL 2: Ratification of the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP |
One or more representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. The representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from the shareholders.
AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
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 five 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 further determined that each of J. Brian Ferguson, William R. Loomis, Jr., John E. Lowe, and Denise L. Ramos 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 2016.
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, 2016, and management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, 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 Auditing Standard (AS) No.1301 as adopted by 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, 2016.
AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE | ||
J. Brian Ferguson, Chairman William R. Loomis, Jr. John E. Lowe Denise L. Ramos Victoria J. Tschinkel |
24 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
Shareholders are being asked to vote on the following advisory (non-binding) resolution:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of Phillips 66's Named Executive Officers (NEOs) as described in this proxy statement in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and in the Executive Compensation Tables (together with the accompanying narrative disclosures).
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY'S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.
Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal.
As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Phillips 66 is providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on an advisory resolution, commonly known as "Say-on-Pay," considering approval of the compensation of its NEOs.
The Compensation Committee, which is responsible for the compensation of our CEO and Senior Officers (as defined on page 40), has overseen the development of compensation programs designed to attract, retain and motivate executives who enable us to achieve our strategic and financial goals. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the Executive Compensation Tables, together with the accompanying narrative disclosures, allow you to view the trends in compensation and application of our compensation philosophies and practices for the years presented.
The Board of Directors believes that the Phillips 66 executive compensation programs align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. Our compensation programs are guided by the philosophy that the Company's ability to provide sustainable value is driven by superior individual performance. The Board believes that a company must offer competitive compensation to attract and retain experienced, talented and motivated employees. In addition, the Board believes employees in leadership roles within the organization are motivated to perform at their highest levels when performance-based pay represents a significant portion of their compensation. The Board believes that our philosophy and practices have resulted in executive compensation decisions that are aligned with Company and individual performance, are appropriate in value and have benefited the Company and its shareholders.
Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee and the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when evaluating future executive compensation arrangements.

Important tenets of our approach include:
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 27
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Significant Pay at Risk
Consistent with our philosophy that executive compensation should be linked to Company performance and directly aligned with shareholder 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 target value of the awards will be realized. The Compensation Committee has complete authority to limit and even award nothing for the performance-based payouts and individual performance adjustments under each of the Variable Cash Incentive Program (VCIP) and Performance Share Program (PSP) based on its 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 term of the options. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) may lose value depending on stock price performance. Therefore, for NEOs to earn and sustain competitive compensation, the Company must meet its strategic objectives, perform well relative to peers and deliver market-competitive returns to shareholders.
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.
CEO target compensation mix is 90 percent at risk and 72 percent performance-based. The target mix for the other NEOs is 82 percent at risk and 65 percent performance-based. Further, LTI make up 73 percent of the CEO and 65 percent of other NEO target compensation mix. For both the CEO and other NEOs, target mix percentages are commensurate with their levels of responsibility. Further detail on all of these programs are provided in 2016 Executive Compensation Programs.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
We utilize a performance peer group and a compensation peer group. In this section we provide the criteria used in determining each peer group, the companies included, and how we use each peer group. The Compensation Committee reviews these peer groups annually and adjusts as necessary.
Performance Peer Group
Criteria for selection. Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned in the energy industry, with a large refining and marketing base, growing midstream NGL operations and significant petrochemical business. To reflect our unique portfolio of assets, we include companies operating in each of our three major businesses. We believe that our performance peer group is representative of the companies that investors use for relative performance comparisons.
Companies included. The table below provides the sixteen companies in our performance peer group.
Refining and Marketing | Midstream | Chemicals | ||
| | | | |
Delek US Holdings, Inc. (DK) | Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (ETE) | Celanese Corporation (CE) | ||
HollyFrontier Corporation (HFC) | Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (EPD) | The Dow Chemical Company (DOW) | ||
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) | ONEOK, Inc. (OKE) | Eastman Chemical Company (EMN) | ||
PBF Energy Inc. (PBF) | Targa Resources Corp. (TRGP) | Huntsman Corporation (HUN) | ||
Tesoro Corporation (TSO) | | Westlake Chemical Corporation (WLK) | ||
Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) | ||||
Western Refining, Inc. (WNR) | | | ||
| | | | |
Relative analysis. Our performance peer group is used to evaluate our business results relative to other companies with similar business operations. We used this peer group in determining the payout for both relative TSR and relative return on capital employed (ROCE) under the PSP 2014-2016. We also evaluate our TSR performance against the S&P 100 Index, which the Compensation Committee believes is an appropriate comparison for performance purposes because the index reflects the companies with which we compete for capital in the broader market.
Compensation Peer Group
Criteria for selection. Our compensation peer group is primarily comprised of companies from the broader market because we draw our executive talent from a candidate pool that extends beyond the energy industry, although there is some overlap with our performance peer group. The compensation peer group primarily consists of large industrial companies with significant capital investments and complex international operations.
Our compensation peer group includes companies that are comparable to Phillips 66 based on three primary criteriaassets, market capitalization, and business operations. Revenue is a secondary criteria due to the nature of our operations. The Compensation Committee believes utilizing each of these criteria is necessary in order to fully reflect the complex nature of our business and determine the optimal group of companies with which to compare Phillips 66. In 2016, the Compensation Committee used a simplified compensation peer group in making 2016 compensation decisions. These changes were implemented to align our peer group more closely with our three primary criteriaassets, market capitalization, and business operations. At the time of these changes, we were, in comparison to this group, in the 59th percentile in assets, 47th percentile in market value and 91st percentile in revenue.
Companies included. The table below provides the twenty companies in our compensation peer group.

The Compensation Committee believes this mix is aligned with our compensation philosophy, reflects the cyclical nature of our business and supports executive retention.
Base Salary
Base salary is designed to provide a competitive and fixed 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 total 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 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 2016. 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, which reflects actual base salary earnings in 2016, including the effect of salary changes during the year.

All NEOs received base salary increases effective March 1, 2016, as part of the annual merit cycle for all employees. These merit increases in base salary realigned each applicable NEO's base salary with the respective compensation peer group levels and reflected each NEO's achievement of established performance requirements corresponding to his or her role. The Compensation Committee determined these adjustments were appropriate to maintain our competitiveness in the market.
30 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Variable Cash Incentive Program
The VCIP, which is our annual incentive program, is designed to provide variability and differentiation based on corporate and individual performance. Through our metrics, we designed our VCIP program to align annual awards with shareholder interests and execution of our corporate strategy. We do not tie NEO VCIP awards to the performance of any individual business unit. We believe this structure serves the best interests of shareholders as it promotes collaboration across the organization.
Eligible earnings are multiplied by a percentage that is based on each NEO's salary grade level to derive the NEO's target award. At the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee reviews the Company's performance to determine the Corporate Payout Percentage. This percentage is based on a mix of operational and financial metrics, the details and weighting of which are described below. The Compensation Committee can award a Corporate Payout Percentage of zero up to the maximum of 200 percent.
The target award is multiplied by the Corporate Payout Percentage, after which the Compensation Committee takes into account the individual accomplishments of each NEO when determining applicable individual performance adjustments. Individual Performance Adjustments can range from +/50 percent of target award. Adjustments are based on measurable performance of the individual NEO that drives shareholder value.
For 2016, the Compensation Committee used the following metrics, which are aligned with our corporate strategy, to evaluate corporate performance under the VCIP. This mix of financial and operational metrics was designed to ensure a balanced view of Company performance.
2016 VCIP METRICS |
Adjusted EBITDA
In 2016, we replaced Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted ROCE, each weighted at 25 percent, with Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) weighted at 40 percent. Adjusted ROCE continues to be a metric in our long-term plan because we believe it is an important measure of long-term growth. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our annual core operating performance and how we determine enterprise value. Our threshold represents the Adjusted EBITDA required to cover our sustaining capital and shareholder dividend commitments. To ensure we continue to deliver on our growth strategy, the target and maximum for Adjusted EBITDA represent returns that are 1.5 percent and 3.0 percent above our Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), respectively.
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 31
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Based on actual Company performance, a payout of 58 percent of target was appropriate for this metric. Overall performance was 35 percent below target due primarily to market volatility, which was partially offset by exceptional operating excellence.
Operating Excellence
Operating excellence, including personal and process safety as well as environmental stewardship and asset availability, is critical to meeting our corporate strategy of growth, returns and distributions. We measure ourselves against others in our industry for safety metrics, target sustained performance in environmental stewardship, and effectively manage unplanned downtime. In 2016, we increased the weighting of this metric from 25 percent to 35 percent, placing a greater emphasis on availability of our assets, in acknowledgment that the availability of our assets across our business segments is essential to profitability.
For metrics for which comparative data was available, like TRR and Lost Workday Case Rate (LWCR), we benchmarked ourselves against companies with strong safety records in our industry. Generally, these companies fall within the top 2 quartiles of all companies reported. We then established our threshold, target, and maximum goals based on the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of this group of companies.
For metrics for which comparative data was not available, like asset availability and environmental events, we established our threshold, target, and maximum goals based on our own historical performance. For asset availability, we incorporated all of the lines of our business, and then weighted them by EBITDA.
In 2016, we excelled in Operating Excellencebreaking many Company records in the metrics we use to evaluate ourselves in this area. While some financial metrics may be primarily market driven, operating in a safe, environmentally conscious, and efficient way is something that we can control. The Compensation Committee reviewed each of the following metrics when determining an overall Operating Excellence payout of 196 percent.

Adjusted Controllable Costs
Adjusted Controllable Costs focuses on operating excellence and our ability to deliver differentiated returns to shareholders. Our targets are based on our budget for the current year. In 2016, we reduced the weighting of this metric from 25 percent to 15 percent because, as a financial measure, the effect of cost management is also recognized in Adjusted EBITDA.
We established our threshold, target, and maximum goals as a percentage of budget. For threshold performance, we could not exceed budget by more than 5 percent, target performance was based on achieving budget, and maximum performance required being at least 2 percent under budget. At the end of the performance period, we then considered our costs relative to our peer group to ensure alignment with industry trends and to reflect operating decisions made in response to changing market conditions that vary from budget assumptions, to ensure earned amounts are appropriate given relative performance.
In 2016, we were 4 percent improved versus our budget, which could have resulted in a payout at 200 percent; however, the Compensation Committee exercised negative discretion recognizing that we were third in a group of six refining peers on costs per barrel. Our savings were related to efficient refinery turnarounds, ongoing equipment efficiencies, and lower staff costs, resulting in a payout of 180 percent of target for this metric.
High-Performing Organization
In 2016, we added the High-Performing Organization metric to measure the effectiveness of our talent management initiatives. We believe maintaining and enhancing a high-performing organization is critical to achievement of our strategic goals and to maximizing long-term shareholder value. We measure our performance relative to a variety of metrics, including:
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 33

We strive for continuous improvement of our talent management, as we believe it is our high-performing employees that differentiate us in the market place. Based on our performance, 110 percent of target was earned for High-Performing Organization.

Applying Project-Based and Shareholder Metrics to the Annual VCIP Payout
The Compensation Committee has the authority to adjust individual VCIP payouts by +/50 percent of the formula-based target payout. The Compensation Committee may apply an individual performance adjustment to reflect project-based accomplishments that drove or detracted from shareholder value or for market-based considerations to more closely align the payout with shareholder returns. This flexibility allows us to reflect our unique business strategy and portfolio of assets as well as differentiate individual executive performance. The Compensation Committee made adjustments to individual compensation levels based on projects and initiatives leading to the successful execution of our strategy and the senior executives responsible for the success of these projects and initiatives.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Long-Term Incentive Programs
Our programs deliver 50 percent of long-term target value in the form of Performance Share Units (PSUs), 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, supports succession planning and is consistent with market practice.
2016 LTI PROGRAMS |
Performance Share Program
Each PSP has a three-year performance period, and therefore three PSPs are in progress at any time. By delivering 50% of LTI through the PSP, a significant portion of NEO compensation is tied to Company and individual performance.
Target Shares at Beginning of Performance Period. The Compensation Committee uses the Compensation Peer Group to benchmark LTI and establish base salary multiples for similar roles at peer organizations. After the target performance share value is determined, it is tracked as shares of Company stock for the remainder of the performance period. The number of target shares is determined by using the average of the stock's fair market value for the 20 days prior to the start of the performance period, less anticipated dividends during the performance period.
Performance Metrics. The performance metrics used for all three PSP programs in effect in 2016 are 50 percent ROCE, equally weighted between absolute and relative, and 50 percent relative TSR.
The Compensation Committee considers ROCE an important measure of Company growth and overall performance. The Compensation Committee evaluates our results relative to our Performance Peer Group as well as absolute targets based on our WACC.
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 35
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
The Compensation Committee also recognizes that relative TSR is the most common standard for relative comparisons to peers. Our performance is evaluated as compared to our Performance Peer Group and the S&P 100 Index.
Distribution. Awards under all of the currently effective programs are denominated in shares, but are intended to be paid in cash at the end of their respective performance periods. Performance can range from 0-200 percent of target.
Active PSP Programs. The programs in effect during 2016 were the PSP 2014-2016, PSP 2015-2017, and PSP 2016-2018.
After the close of the PSP 2014-2016, the Compensation Committee considered the following results when approving the payout of 170 percent.
* Relative PSP ROCE is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix A for additional information.
* Absolute PSP ROCE is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix A for additional information.
Accordingly, the Compensation Committee approved payouts for all of our NEOs for PSP 2014-2016. The payment was made in February 2017 and is described further in the footnotes of the Summary Compensation Table.
Stock Option Program
In 2016, 25 percent of the LTI target value was delivered to executives in the form of stock options. These awards 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 long-term shareholder value.
Stock options are typically granted in February each year. The number of options awarded 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 2016 vest ratably over a three-year period and have a ten-year term. These stock options neither have voting rights nor entitle the holder to receive dividends. Based on its assessment of the individual performance of each NEO, the Compensation Committee may adjust an award by up to +/30 percent of the target amount at grant. The CEO provides input on the grant amounts and individual performance adjustments for all NEOs
36 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
(other than himself). The Compensation Committee evaluates the individual performance of the CEO. The Compensation Committee did not make any individual performance adjustments to NEO stock option awards in 2016.
Restricted Stock Units
In 2016, 25 percent of the LTI target value was delivered to executives in the form of RSUs. The Compensation Committee believes maintaining RSUs in our LTI program complements the overall compensation mix for our executives by:
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 2016 cliff vest at the end of the three-year holding period and will be 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 vesting period. The Compensation Committee assesses the individual performance of each NEO, and based on that assessment may adjust an award by up to +/30 percent of the target amount at grant. The CEO provides input regarding awards made to all NEOs (other than himself). The Compensation Committee evaluates the individual performance of the CEO.
2016 LTI Compensation
The Compensation Committee approved the following LTI for the NEOs for 2016. The Compensation Committee considered the individual performance of each NEO as outlined above when determining the target values. These values do not reflect prospective promotional adjustments to PSP targets and may not match the accounting values presented in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table.

OTHER BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES
Below is a summary of other compensation elements available to our NEOs in addition to the base salary, VCIP, and LTI 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.
Additional Executive Perquisites
In line with our compensation philosophy to provide compensation and benefits aligned with market practice, we provide our NEOs financial planning and executive health benefits. These benefits were imputed to the executives and included in All Other Compensation in the Summary Compensation Table. We did not provide a gross-up for these benefits.
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 37
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Comprehensive Security Program
The Board has adopted a comprehensive security program to address the increased security risks for certain senior executives. Mr. Garland and Mr. Taylor were the only NEOs in 2016 designated by the Board as requiring increased security under this program. Mr. Garland was covered for the entire year. Mr. Taylor was covered beginning March 1, 2016, following a security review. The 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 reported as All Other Compensation and included in the Summary Compensation Table.
Executive Retirement Plans
We maintain the following supplemental retirement plans for our NEOs.
Executive Life Insurance
We provide life insurance policies to 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 two times 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 (ESP) and the Phillips 66 Change in Control Severance Plan (CICSP) to accomplish several specific objectives, including:
Executives may not participate in both plans as a result of the same severance event. Among other benefits, the ESP 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 sum of the executive's base salary and the greater of his or her target bonus or average of the last two bonus payments, depending on salary grade level. The executive must be involuntarily terminated without cause in connection with a change in control or terminate employment for good reason within two years after the change in control to be eligible for CICSP payment. This "double trigger" requirement is in the best interest of shareholders and is considered a best practice.
Details of potential payments under these plans are outlined in the Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control section. These plans do not provide any excise 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 may occasionally invite a family member or other personal guest to travel with them to attend a meeting or function. When such travel 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 if 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 shareholder value creation and mitigate compensation risk. Each executive must own at least 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 | ||
President |
5 | |||
Executive Vice President |
| 3-5 |
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 ConsiderationsInternal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
The Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of compensation under IRC Section 162(m) when making decisions and generally attempts to structure elements of executive compensation to meet the requirements for deductibility. However, the Compensation Committee has the flexibility to design and maintain the programs in the most beneficial manner to shareholders, including payments that may be subject to the deductibility limits under IRC Section 162(m).
For 2016 the Compensation Committee believes it has taken the necessary steps intended to qualify payments made under the VCIP and awards made under the LTI programs (PSP and RSUs) as performance-based under IRC Section 162(m).
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 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 Compensation Consultant
The primary role of the independent executive compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee is to advise the Compensation Committee on:
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 39
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
The Compensation Committee retained Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC as its independent executive compensation consultant through May 2016. The Compensation Committee evaluated whether Meridian's work raised any conflict of interest and determined that no such conflict existed.
In October 2016, the Compensation Committee retained Mercer as its independent executive compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee evaluated work that Mercer had done for the Company prior to being retained by the committee and determined that it did not present a conflict of interest. During 2016, fees paid to Mercer in its role as the independent compensation consultant for the Compensation Committee totaled $23,964. In addition, the Company paid fees to Mercer totaling $5,965,345 during 2016 for all other services performed for the Company. These services can be broken down as 90 percent related to administration of international broad-based benefit plans in international locations that we sold in 2016, 7 percent related to administration of ongoing international broad-based benefit plans, and 3 percent related to Human Resources consulting engagements.
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. Relevant provisions of our programs include, but are not limited to:
The Compensation Committee considers senior management succession planning a core part of the Company's risk management program. At least annually, the Compensation Committee reviews with the CEO succession planning for senior leadership positions (other than the CEO position itself, for which succession planning is reviewed by the Nomination Committee), and the timing and development required to ensure continuity of leadership over the short- and long-terms, to manage risk in this area.
ROLE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Authority and Responsibilities
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 Exchange Act. As of December 31, 2016, we had 11 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.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
The Compensation Committee oversees the Company's executive compensation philosophy, policies, plans and programs for our CEO and Senior Officers to ensure:
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. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee Report summarizes certain Compensation Committee activities concerning compensation earned during 2016 by our NEOs.
A complete listing of the authority and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee is set forth in its 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 four members who meet all requirements for "non-employee," "independent" and "outside" director status under the Exchange Act, NYSE listing standards, and the IRC, 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 regular Board meetings and meets by teleconference between such meetings as necessary to discharge its duties. The Compensation Committee reserves time at each regularly scheduled meeting to review matters in executive session without management present except as specifically requested by the Compensation Committee. In 2016, the Compensation Committee had five regularly scheduled meetings and one additional telephonic meeting. More information regarding the Compensation Committee's activities at such meetings can be found in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Continuous Improvement
The Compensation Committee is committed to a process of continuous improvement in exercising its responsibilities. To that end, the Compensation Committee:

HUMAN RESOURCES AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Review with Management. The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis presented in this proxy statement.
Discussions with Independent Executive Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee has discussed with Mercer, an independent executive compensation consulting firm, the executive compensation programs of the Company, as well as specific compensation decisions made by the Compensation Committee for 2016. Mercer was retained directly by the Compensation Committee, independent of the management of the Company. The Compensation Committee has received written disclosure from Mercer confirming the consultant's independence, has discussed with Mercer its independence from Phillips 66, and believes Mercer to be 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, 2016.

These include awards that are expected to be finalized as late as 2018. The amounts shown for awards from the PSP relate to performance periods that began in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and that end in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Amounts shown relating to PSP are targets because target is the probable outcome for the applicable performance period, consistent with the accounting treatment under GAAP. If the maximum payout were used for the PSP awards 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 2016 were approved by the Compensation Committee at its February 2017 meeting. Those payouts were as follows (with values shown at fair market value on the date of payout): Mr. Garland, $12,839,189; Mr. Herman, $1,850,105; Ms. Johnson, $2,324,881; Mr. Mitchell, $1,055,106; and Mr. Taylor, $4,415,719.
Earned payouts under the PSP 2014-2016 have been, and under the PSP 2015-2017 and PSP 2016-2018 are expected to be, made in cash at the end of the applicable performance period and will be 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.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Our NEOs are eligible to participate in two nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the Phillips 66 KEDCP and the Phillips 66 DCMP.
The KEDCP allows NEOs to defer up to 50 percent of their salary and up to 100 percent of their VCIP. The default distribution option is a lump sum payment paid at least six months after separation from service. NEOs 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. NEOs 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 NEO's salary deferral under the KEDCP or due to the IRC 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 NEO elects to receive one to fifteen annual payments beginning at least one year after separation from service.
Each NEO 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, NEOs would be unsecured general creditors.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
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. 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, RSU, 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, 2016, Mr. Garland, Mr. Herman, and Mr. Taylor were retirement-eligible under both our benefit plans and our compensation programs. Therefore, as of December 31, 2016, a voluntary resignation of Mr. Garland, Mr. Herman, or Mr. Taylor, would have been treated as a retirement, and each would have retained all awards earned under the current and earlier programs. As such, awards under these programs are not included in the amounts reflected in the table below. Please see the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table for more information. Our compensation programs provide for the following upon retirement:

Equity
The table at the end of this section summarizes the potential additional value of the benefits to be received by each NEO as of December 31, 2016, through the Phillips 66 ESP due to an involuntary termination without cause or through the Phillips 66 CICSP due to a change in control event. 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. Executives are not entitled to receive benefits under both the ESP and the CICSP as a result of the same event. These two plans have the following in common:
Executive Severance Plan
The ESP provides that if an NEO separates due to an involuntary termination without cause, the executive will receive the following benefits, which may vary depending on salary grade level:
Cash Severance Payments
Accelerated Equity
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 by the employer 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:

52 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
The primary elements of our non-employee Director compensation program are equity compensation and cash compensation, the current levels of which have been in place since January 1, 2016.
Compensation for non-employee Directors is reviewed annually by the Nominating Committee, with the assistance of such third-party consultants as the Nominating Committee deems advisable, and set by action of the Board of Directors. The Board's goal in designing such compensation is to provide a competitive package that will enable it to attract and retain highly skilled individuals with relevant experience and reflects the time and talent required to serve on the board of a complex, multinational corporation. The Board seeks to provide sufficient flexibility in the form of payment to meet individual needs while ensuring that a substantial portion of director compensation is linked to the long-term success of the Company. In furtherance of our commitment to be a socially responsible member of the communities in which we participate, the Board believes that it is appropriate to extend the Phillips 66 matching gift program to charitable contributions made by individual Directors.
Equity Compensation
In 2016, each non-employee Director received a grant of RSUs with an aggregate value of $200,000 on the date of grant. Restrictions on the units issued to a non-employee Director will lapse in the event of retirement, disability, death, or a change of control, unless the Director has elected to receive the underlying shares after a stated period of time. Directors forfeit the units if, prior to the lapse of restrictions, the Board finds sufficient cause for forfeiture (although no such finding can be made after a change in control). Before the restrictions lapse, Directors cannot sell or otherwise transfer the units, but the units are credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs. When restrictions lapse, Directors will receive unrestricted shares of Company stock as settlement of the RSUs.
Cash Compensation
In 2016, each non-employee Director received $125,000 in cash compensation for service as a Director. Non-employee Directors serving in specified committee or leadership positions also received the following additional cash compensation:
|
LEAD / CHAIR |
MEMBER |
|||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | | | | | |
Lead Director |
$ | 50,000 | | N/A | |||

$ | 25,000 | $ | 10,000 | |||
All Other Committees |
$ | 10,000 | N/A | ||||
| | | | | | | |
The total annual cash compensation is payable in monthly cash installments. Directors may elect, on an annual basis, to receive all or part of their cash compensation in unrestricted stock or in RSUs (such unrestricted stock or RSUs are issued on the last business day of the month valued using the average of the high and low prices of Phillips 66 common stock as reported on the NYSE on such date), or to have the amount credited to the Director's deferred compensation account as described below. The RSUs issued in lieu of cash compensation are subject to the same restrictions as the annual RSUs described above under Equity Compensation.
Deferral of Compensation
Non-employee Directors can elect to defer their cash compensation under the Phillips 66 Deferred Compensation Program for non-Employee Directors (the "Director Deferral Plan"). Deferred amounts are deemed to be invested in various mutual funds and similar investment choices (including Phillips 66 common stock) selected by the Director from a list of investment choices available under the Director Deferral Plan.
The future payment of any compensation deferred by non-employee Directors of Phillips 66 may be funded in a grantor trust designed for this purpose.
Directors' Matching Gift Program
All active and retired non-employee Directors are eligible to participate in the Directors' Annual Matching Gift Program. This provides a dollar-for-dollar match of gifts of cash or securities, up to a maximum during any one calendar year of $15,000 per donor for active Directors and $7,500 per donor for retired Directors, to charities and educational institutions (excluding certain religious, political, fraternal, or collegiate athletic organizations) that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC or meet similar requirements under the applicable law of other countries. Amounts representing these matching contributions are contained in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Non-employee Director Compensation Table.
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 53
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION |
Other Compensation
The Board believes that it is important for spouses or significant others of Directors and executives to attend certain meetings to enhance the collegiality of the Board. The cost of such attendance is treated by the Internal Revenue Service as income and is taxable to the recipient. The Company reimburses Directors for the cost of resulting income taxes. Amounts representing this reimbursement are contained in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Non-employee Director Compensation Table.
Stock Ownership
Each Director is expected to own an amount of Company stock equal to at least the aggregate amount of the annual equity grants during their first five years on the Board. Directors are expected to reach this level of target ownership within five years of joining the Board. Actual shares of stock, Restricted Stock, or RSUs, including deferred stock units, may be counted in satisfying the stock ownership guidelines. All current directors are in compliance, or on pace to comply, with the guidelines.
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION TABLE
Phillips 66 benchmarks its non-employee Director compensation design and pay levels against a group of peer companies. The Company targets the median of this peer group for all elements of non-employee Director compensation.

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 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 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 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders are being made available to the Company's shareholders on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com through the notice and access process. The Company's 2016 Annual Report to Shareholders contains consolidated financial statements and reports of the 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.
To vote by proxy, you must do one of the following:
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.
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 57
ABOUT THE ANNUAL 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:
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 5:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on May 2, 2017.
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:
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 hired Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to count the votes represented by proxies and cast by ballot, and appointed Jim Gaughan of Carl T. Hagberg and Associates 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 fiscal year 2017 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 2017.
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."
58 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING |
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 2017, and "FOR" the approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.
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 proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment. Discretionary authority to vote on other matters is included in the proxy.
When will the Company announce the results of the vote?
Within four business days of the Annual Meeting, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the results of the vote at the Annual Meeting.
Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
The Annual Meeting is open to all holders of Phillips 66 common stock. Each shareholder 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 shareholders 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 2016 Annual Report are being made available to the Company's shareholders on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com through the notice and access process. Most shareholders 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 shareholder proxies, ballots, and tabulations that identify shareholders are to be maintained in confidence. No such document will be available for examination, and the identity and vote of any shareholder will not be disclosed, except as necessary to meet legal requirements and allow the inspectors of election to certify the
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 59
ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING |
results of the shareholder vote. The policy also provides that inspectors of election must be independent and cannot be employees of the Company. Occasionally, shareholders 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 shareholders reside, if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This benefits both you and the Company, as it eliminates duplicate mailings that shareholders 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 shareholder 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. Shareholders 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 shareholders to consent to such elimination, or through implied consent if a shareholder does not request continuation of duplicate mailings. Because not all brokers and nominees may offer shareholders the opportunity to request eliminating duplicate mailings, you may need to contact your broker or nominee directly to discontinue duplicate mailings to your household.
60 2017 PROXY STATEMENT
Under SEC rules, if a shareholder wants us to include a proposal in our proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our Corporate Secretary must receive the proposal at our principal executive offices by November 22, 2017. Any such proposal must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Under our By-Laws, and as SEC rules permit, shareholders must follow certain procedures to nominate a person for election as a director at an annual or special meeting, or to introduce an item of business at an annual meeting (other than a proposal submitted under Rule 14a-8). Under these procedures, shareholders must submit the proposed nominee or item of business by delivering a notice to the Corporate Secretary at the following address: Corporate Secretary, Phillips 66, P.O. Box 4428, Houston, Texas 77210. We must receive notice as follows:
As required by Article II of our By-Laws, a notice of a proposed nomination must include information about the shareholder and the nominee, as well as a written consent of the proposed nominee to serve if elected. A notice of a proposed item of business must include a description of and the reasons for bringing the proposed business to the meeting, any material interest of the shareholder in the business and certain other information about the shareholder. You can obtain a copy of our By-Laws by writing the Corporate Secretary at the address above, or via our website under the "Governance" caption.
SEC rules require us to provide an annual report to shareholders who receive this proxy statement. Additional printed copies of the annual report to shareholders, as well as our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, charters for each of the committees of the Board of Directors and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, including the financial statements and the financial statement schedules, are available without charge to shareholders upon written request to Phillips 66 Investor Relations Department, P.O. Box 4428, Houston, Texas 77210 or via the Internet at www.Phillips66.com. We will furnish the exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K upon payment of our copying and mailing expenses.
2017 PROXY STATEMENT 61
The discussion of our results in this proxy statement includes references to our "adjusted EBITDA," "PSP ROCE," and "adjusted controllable costs" amounts. These measures are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be defined and calculated by other companies using the same or similar terminology.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure because it adjusts net income to exclude depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes, as well as certain items of expense or income that management does not consider representative of our core operating performance. We use this measure as a factor in assessing performance for the purposes of compensation decisions. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth below.

PSP ROCE
We believe PSP ROCE is an important metric for evaluating the quality of capital allocation decisions, measuring portfolio value, and measuring the efficiency and profitability of capital investments. We use this measure as a factor in assessing performance for the purposes of compensation decisions. PSP ROCE is a ratio, the numerator of which is adjusted earnings plus after-tax interest expense, and the denominator of which is average adjusted total equity plus total debt.

Adjusted Controllable Costs
Adjusted controllable costs is a measure of how effectively we manage costs versus internal targets. We use this measure as a factor in assessing performance for the purposes of compensation decisions. Adjusted controllable costs is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes certain costs that we believe are not directly relevant to compensation decisions. A reconciliation of adjusted controllable costs to the sum of operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, is set forth below.
