Letters from Leadership

From Our Chairman of the Board and CEO

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

Phillips 66 continued recovering from the impacts of the pandemic in 2021 and made significant progress advancing lower-carbon initiatives. We continued to honor our vision and values by keeping our people safe, providing energy and improving lives. We remained focused on our strategic priorities: growth, returns and distributions supported by a strong foundation of operating excellence and a high-performing organization. We take great pride in maintaining our commitments:

·We are committed to disciplined capital allocation with an emphasis on returns. In 2021, we raised the quarterly dividend, continuing our trend to deliver a secure, competitive and growing dividend. Our strong cash flow generation allowed us to invest $1.9 billion back into the business, return $1.6 billion to shareholders and pay down $1.5 billion of debt. We continued to prioritize a strong balance sheet and our investment grade credit ratings.
·We are committed to environmental responsibility. In 2021, we developed meaningful and achievable targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity that are tied to viable plans and specific projects consistent with our disciplined approach to capital allocation. We also expanded our commitment to environmental responsibility, setting a goal for all our refining sites to achieve top-third energy efficiency by 2030.
·We are committed to being part of the solution for a lower-carbon future. Throughout the nearly 150- year history of Phillips 66, energy has been a business of transition and the people of Phillips 66 have been problem solvers. That spirit continues to this day and is reflected in opportunities we are pursuing toward a lower-carbon future. At our San Francisco Refinery, we began renewable diesel production and advanced the Rodeo Renewed project. We invested in NOVONIX to support the development of the U.S. battery supply chain and Shell Rock Soy Processing to secure feedstock for our growing portfolio of renewable fuels projects. We are collaborating with multiple parties to further develop sustainable aviation fuel, batteries, carbon capture and hydrogen opportunities.
·We are committed to listening to our stakeholders. Last year, our shareholders asked us to set and publish GHG emissions reduction targets and report on climate lobbying. We responded by setting impactful, attainable and measurable targets to reduce GHG emissions intensity from our operations and energy products by 2030, and earlier this year we announced targets for 2050. We published our Lobbying Activities Report, which details our governance, compliance processes, policy development and transparent reporting on our climate-related lobbying activities. We also responded by incorporating two new and meaningful metrics to our annual bonus program: Low Carbon Priorities and Greenhouse Gas Priorities, which are explained in more detail in the Proxy Statement.
·We are committed to inclusion and diversity. I encourage you to read our recently published 2021 Human Capital Management Report in which we provide data and insights on resilience through another year of the pandemic while reinforcing our commitment to inclusion and diversity and aligning benefits that meet the needs of today’s workforce. We also continued our Board refreshment by adding two new directors in 2021. These new directors add to our Board’s industry expertise, further increase our Board’s diversity, and broaden the depth and breadth of the skills and experiences our directors bring to the Board.

On a final note, we believe as economic conditions show signs of improving there will be further opportunities for value creation across our traditional business lines and emerging energy opportunities. To ensure everyone’s health and well-being, the 2022 Annual Meeting will be held exclusively online. You can find information about how to attend in the attached Proxy Statement.

Thank you for your continued support and investment in Phillips 66.

In safety, honor and commitment,

Greg C. Garland
Chairman and CEO
March 31, 2022

From Our Lead Director

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The independent directors and I join Greg in inviting you to attend our Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders. The Board values input from our shareholders as the Company continues to execute our long-term strategy. As the Board’s Lead Independent Director, I meet regularly with investors. During most of those meetings, I am joined by the chair of our Human Resources and Compensation Committee, Dr. Marna Whittington. The input and feedback we receive from our investors are shared with the entire Board, which considers these viewpoints in our discussions and decisions.

We appreciate the diversity of concerns that are of interest to you, our shareholders. We heard interesting perspectives on the compensation of our executives and the metrics used in our compensation programs, GHG emissions reduction and other environmental issues, and human capital matters, among others. We think you will see in our various public disclosures that we take these perspectives seriously and attempt to address them through changes to our compensation programs and providing additional disclosures.

I encourage you to read our 2022 Proxy Statement, our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the other proxy materials. I also encourage you to read our 2021 Sustainability Report and our 2021 Human Capital Management Report, both of which are available on the Company website.

Our Board remains committed to building long-term value in the Company and returning excess capital to our shareholders. We are also committed to guiding our Company to help address climate change through setting impactful, attainable and measurable emissions reduction targets, and investing in technologies that deliver lower-carbon solutions. On behalf of the directors, I join Greg and the entire executive management team in thanking you for choosing to invest in Phillips 66.

It is a great pleasure to serve as your Lead Independent Director, and I look forward to hearing from many of you in the coming year.

 

Sincerely,

Glenn Tilton
Lead Director

  Performance Highlights          7

 

Our Approach to Sustainability

Sustainability is integral to our corporate strategy and designed to ensure a resilient portfolio. Our strategy is clear and consistent: operating excellence, growth, returns, distributions delivered through a high-performing organization. This strategy ensures a sustainable, viable business and creates long-term shareholder value.

SUSTAINABILITY SUPPORTS LONG-TERM RESILIENCE  

 

Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder relationships have always been a priority for us. They enable us to fulfill our purpose and execute our strategy. Our stakeholders include employees, shareholders, investors, customers, communities where we operate, indigenous people, legislators and energy consumers.

We approach our stakeholder engagement from a position of mutual respect, respecting human rights, demonstrating our values through our actions and being a good neighbor. We conduct our operations in compliance with all applicable laws, in accordance with our Company values and policies, and consistent with the spirit of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our processes provide a measured and responsive approach to stakeholder engagement.

Spotlight on Climate Change/Energy Transition

Phillips 66 supports the ambitions of the Paris Agreement and is active in the energy transition while continuing to provide affordable, reliable, and abundant energy that drives human progress. In 2021, Phillips 66 announced its intention to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity from our operations and energy products by 2030, setting impactful, attainable and measurable targets. The Company plans to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity from operations by 30% and Scope 3 emissions intensity of its energy products by 15%, below 2019 levels. Earlier this year, we announced a 2050 target to further reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity by 50% below 2019 levels. Details on the projects planned and in development to achieve these targets can be found on the sustainability section of our website.

In furtherance of the evolving energy economy, the Company formed an Emerging Energy organization that is focused on developing a lower-carbon sustainable business platform by leveraging our existing assets and capabilities and advancing investments in new energy technologies. Our Emerging Energy

focus areas are renewable fuels, batteries, carbon capture and hydrogen. We are progressing our goal to become a leading producer of renewable fuels through our Rodeo Renewed project and alliances with Southwest Airlines and British Airways to supply sustainable aviation fuel. We are extending participation in the battery value chain through our investment in NOVONIX to advance the production and commercialization of next-generation anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. We have established a competitive position and scale in the high potential carbon capture market and are also pursuing opportunities in hydrogen fueling. These commercial ventures are supported by our Energy Research and Innovation group where research is focused on opportunities in renewable fuels, photovoltaic polymers, next generation batteries, and solid oxide fuel cells.

Our Company’s commitment to sustainability is aligned with our compensation programs. The variable compensation incentive program (VCIP) is the annual bonus program that has 50% weighting on Operational Sustainability and 50% weighting on Financial Sustainability performance metrics. VCIP applies to all employees, from the CEO and NEOs throughout the workforce. In 2021, we increased the weighting of environmental factors in VCIP to 15 percent from 5 percent, and in doing so, added performance metrics for (1) advancing lower-carbon investments, optimization, and innovation and (2) reducing manufacturing emissions intensity and setting GHG emissions reduction targets.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Our Board of Directors recognizes the importance of human capital management practices to the long-term success of the Company. They advise senior leadership on our key principles of human capital management and the executive leadership team is responsible for the deployment of our high-performing organization to deliver exceptional performance on a sustainable basis. Below are the key principles of our human capital management strategy. More information regarding how we operationalize our strategy can be found in our Human Capital Management Report on our website at www.phillips66.com/our-people.

SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH AND RESPONSIVENESS

Significant Shareholder Engagement

Ongoing engagement with our shareholders is important to us. We communicate with our shareholders through a variety of means, including meetings, investor presentations, our website, and publications we issue. As part of our annual engagement program, we regularly reach out to shareholders for dialogue concerning their priorities. This year we significantly expanded the scope of our stockholder outreach regarding executive compensation and ESG topics.

Following the outcome of our 2021 Annual Meeting, our Board sought to engage in meaningful discussions with our shareholders to understand their voting decisions, provide insight regarding Phillips 66’s practices, and preview potential responsive enhancements to the compensation programs. We conducted two rounds of engagement in fall 2021 to augment the conversations we held with shareholders leading up to the 2021 Annual Meeting. These conversations provide us with valuable feedback that directly informed Board deliberations.

In September 2021, we spoke with investors representing 40% of shares outstanding with a focus on our compensation program design and the relative degree of alignment between Company performance and rewards. Many of these conversations were led by two of our independent directors. In November 2021, we had a second round of conversations with many of the same shareholders, including investors representing 40% of shares outstanding. This second round of conversations provided opportunity to discuss investor perspectives on climate and the Company’s approach to the energy transition, in addition to capturing any further perspectives regarding compensation matters. Additional detail regarding our outreach effort and the feedback we received can be found on page 30.

Responsive to Shareholder Feedback

This year, in direct response to the shareholder feedback we received through our significant engagement effort, the Compensation Committee implemented meaningful changes to our executive compensation program and related disclosures for 2022, as discussed on page 42.

In connection with our 2021 Annual Meeting, our shareholders expressed their interest in the Company setting and publishing GHG emissions reduction targets. We responded in September by setting impactful, attainable and measurable targets to reduce GHG emissions intensity from our operations and energy products by 2030. Our targets are to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity from operations by 30% and Scope 3 emissions intensity of our energy products by 15%, below 2019 levels.

Our shareholders also requested that we report on climate lobbying, and we responded by publishing our Lobbying Activities Report, which details our governance, compliance processes, policy development and transparent reporting on our climate-related lobbying activities. Additional detail about our ESG efforts can be found on page 30.

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE

Our executive compensation programs are designed to pay for performance. We link compensation to Company performance and use metrics we believe will drive long-term shareholder value and that are aligned with Company strategy. We align the interests of our executives with our shareholders through equity compensation, and we align execution of short-term priorities with all employees through annual cash bonus.

RESPONDING TO SHAREHOLDER FEEDBACK ON PAY

Management and members of our Board engaged extensively with shareholders in 2021 to understand their perspectives on our executive compensation practices and programs. As a result of the insights and feedback we received from our shareholders, we implemented the following actions in 2021:

 

Compensation Changes   Proxy Disclosure Enhancements
VCIP    
   Removed positive individual modifier from VCIP for all NEOs (started in 2021 program)      Rigor of VCIP and PSP goal-setting process
PSP      Weighting and selection of VCIP metrics
   Capped payout at 100% on TSR portion of PSP if absolute TSR is negative (started in 2019-2021 program)      Rationale for adjustments to PSP financial results
   Require above median relative TSR performance for target payout (starts in 2022-2024 program)      Peer groups and peer selection

COMPENSATION SNAPSHOT

Our executives’ compensation includes base salary, an annual bonus opportunity under our Variable Compensation Incentive Program (“VCIP”), and equity-based compensation, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and awards under our Performance Share Program (“PSP”). The illustration below summarizes the principal elements of our executive compensation programs and the performance drivers of each element and shows the percentage each pay element comprises of target total direct compensation for 2021 for our CEO and other named executive officers (“NEOs”). 

Key Elements of Pay    
CEO Other
NEOs
Delivered via Performance Drivers
(and Weightings)
Base Salary   Cash    Annual fixed cash compensation to attract and retain NEOs
 
   
   
Annual Incentive Variable Cash Incentive Operational Sustainability 50%
Program (VCIP)

   Safety & Operating Excellence (25%)

   Environment (15%)

   High-Performing Organization (10%)

  Financial Sustainability 50%
 

   Adjusted EBITDA (40%)

   Adjusted Controllable Costs (10%)

Long-Term Incentives (LTI) Performance Share

   Return on Capital Employed (50%)

Program (PSP)    Relative TSR (50%)
Restricted Stock Unit (RSU)    Long-term stock price appreciation
Restricted Stock Unit (RSU)    Long-term stock price appreciation


As outlined, equity compensation accounts for roughly 70% of our executives’ pay, and PSP accounts for roughly 50% of that total. The PSP is designed to align the interests of our leaders with that of our shareholders through TSR and ROCE, and share price appreciation or depreciation over the 3 year- performance period. The metrics defined in 2019-2021 PSP delivered results below target, resulting in a below-target payout of 61%. The share price depreciated over that same performance period, which resulted in our executives realizing 56% of the initial target value.

The VCIP, which accounts for roughly 15% of our executives’ pay, is designed to create line-of-sight from our corporate strategy to execution of short-term priorities and align payouts with corporate results. Performance under the VCIP is equally weighted between operational sustainability and financial sustainability. New in 2021 was the addition of two new metrics to the program: Low Carbon Priorities and Greenhouse Gas Priorities. These changes were made to reinforce our commitment to the energy transition and further align our compensation program with shareholder interests. The metrics defined in the 2021 program delivered a combined result above target, resulting in a payout of 155%. The individual performance modifier for all NEOs was removed in 2021, and therefore no additional compensation above the Company payout was delivered to the NEOs.

BOARD SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

 

Throughout the year, the Board continued its proactive assessment of board succession planning and refreshment. The Nominating and Governance Committee and full Board work to ensure we maintain a Board that embodies a broad and diverse set of experiences, qualifications, attributes and skills to provide effective oversight of management and the Company. When seeking new candidates, the Board considers a diverse pool of qualified candidates who could potentially serve as Board members. We view diversity in terms of skills, as well as gender, age, race, ethnicity, background, professional experience and perspectives.

As the needs of the Company change, the Board revisits the skills and experiences it seeks. Included in the matrix below are the core skills and experiences of C-suite, environmental, risk management, international/ global and industry experience, as well as additional skills and experiences the Board currently considers, for our continuing directors.

DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS AND NOMINATION PROCESS

 

Annual Assessment of Size, Composition and Structure

The Board strives to maintain an appropriate balance of tenure, turnover, diversity, skills and experience. Our average director tenure is approximately 5 years, representing an appropriate balance of tenures. The Board does not maintain term limits, as the Board believes that continuity of service can provide stability and valuable insight. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines include a mandatory retirement that provides that no director may serve past the annual meeting immediately following his or her 75th birthday. The average age of our directors is 64.8.

The Board ensures refreshment and continued effectiveness through evaluation, nomination, and other policies, processes and practices. For example:

The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews with the Board the qualifications for Board members and the composition of the Board as a whole.
The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews each director nominee’s continuation on the Board and makes recommendations to the full Board.
The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that any director whose principal outside responsibilities have changed since election to the Board should volunteer to resign to give the Board the opportunity to review the appropriateness of continued Board membership under the circumstances.

 

Self Assessment
1 Oversight of annual evaluation Each committee of the Board performs an annual self-assessment, and the Nominating and Governance Committee and Lead Director oversee an annual self-assessment of the full Board.
2 Survey and individual discussions The self-assessment includes an evaluation survey and/or individual discussions between the Lead Director and each other director.
3 Presentation of results 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.
4 Incorporation of feedback Any matters requiring further action are identified and action plans developed to address the matter.

 

RECENT BOARD REFRESHMENT

In 2021, the Board appointed Denise R. Singleton and Douglas T. Terreson to the Board. Ms. Singleton brings significant c-suite, financial, global, risk management and environmental experience to the Board. Mr. Terreson brings significant financial, global, risk management and industry experience. These directors’ skills and perspectives further enhance our diversity and expertise in the boardroom. Their appointments were informed by the Board’s continued focus on its composition, as well as insights provided through the Board’s annual self-evaluation process. Our current board composition provides a diversity of thought and a broad range of skills and perspectives aligned with our strategy.

Identification and Consideration of New Nominees

The Board is responsible for nominating directors and filling vacancies that may occur between annual meetings, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee process for identifying and recommending candidates includes:

 

1 Review The Nominating and Governance Committee considers the Company’s current needs and long-term and strategic plans to determine the skills, experience and characteristics needed by our Board.
2 Identify The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies candidates through the use of a search firm or the business and organizational contacts of directors and management.
3 Evaluate In evaluating potential candidates for nomination to the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board consider several factors:
  all directors are expected to possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and be committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders;
  candidates should possess skills and experience complementary to those of existing directors; and
  additionally, directors are expected to devote sufficient time and effort to their duties as a director.
4 Recommend The Nominating and Governance Committee recommends director candidates to the Board of Directors with the goal of creating a balance of knowledge, experience and diversity.

The core skills and qualifications considered in evaluating director nominees and Board composition as a whole are described below.

 

  C-Suite experience     Financial experience     Global experience
Executive management experience provides valuable insights and practical understanding of companies, and the methods to drive change and growth within an organization   Finance and financial reporting experience provide knowledge necessary to evaluate our performance by reference to financial targets and to oversee financial reporting   Global business or international experience provides valuable perspectives on our operations and enables the oversight of our strategic initiatives
   
  Risk management experience     Environmental
experience
    Industry experience
Experience in managing risk ensures capabilities necessary for risk oversight responsibilities, bringing background and experience that increase directors’ effectiveness   Experience in environmental regulation helps in effective evaluation and oversight of our strategy to provide energy and improve lives while ensuring a healthy and safe environment   Energy experience brings pertinent background and knowledge to provide perspective on issues specific to the Company’s industry, business, operations and strategy

 

  Proposal 1: Election of Directors          25

 

 

Commitment to Board Diversity

 

The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the Board should reflect a range of talents, ages, skills, experiences, diversity, and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the Company’s strategic and operational objectives. The Board has committed to seeking women and underrepresented groups, as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences, as part of the search process for new directors. We have incorporated this commitment into our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

 

Shareholder Recommendation of Candidates

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. A shareholder wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination by the Nominating and Governance Committee should follow the procedures described under Submission of Future Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations. In addition, the shareholder should provide such other information deemed relevant to the Nominating and Governance Committee’s evaluation. Candidates recommended by the Company’s shareholders are evaluated on the same basis as candidates recommended by the Company’s directors, management, third-party search firms or other sources.

BOARD INDEPENDENCE

 

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain director independence standards, which are consistent with the listing standards of the NYSE. These standards assist the Board in determining the independence of the Company’s directors. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each director, other than Mr. Garland, meets our independence standards. Mr. Garland is not considered independent because he is an executive officer of the Company.

In making independence determinations, the Board specifically considered the fact that many of our directors are directors of companies with which we may conduct business. Additionally, some of our directors may purchase products, such as gasoline from our retail sites, from the Company. In all cases, it was determined that there are no relationships or transactions that are material to the Company or the director and accordingly, there are no relationships that would affect the independence of any director other than Mr. Garland.

Corporate Governance

 

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

 

Chairman and CEO Roles

The Board of Directors believes that currently, it is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders to combine the roles of Chairman and CEO. However, there is no Company policy regarding whether the roles should be combined or separated, and our Corporate Governance Guidelines state that the Board will retain flexibility and periodically consider whether the roles should be separated and, if so, whether the Chairman should be an independent director or an employee. The Board believes that Mr. Garland’s extensive industry experience and direct, day-to-day involvement in managing the Company as the CEO makes him best suited to also serve as Chairman and guide the Board in setting Company priorities and addressing Company risks and challenges.

Independent Director Leadership

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines state that when the Chairman of the Board is an employee of the Company, the non-employee directors will name a Lead Director. Glenn Tilton was appointed to serve as our Lead Director in 2016. As Lead Director, Mr. Tilton chairs executive sessions, coordinates the activities of the non-employee directors and performs other duties and responsibilities as determined by the Board, including:

advising the Chairman on Board meeting schedules, seeking to ensure that the non-employee directors can perform their duties responsibly without interfering with operations;
providing the Chairman with input on agendas for Board meetings to assure there is sufficient time for discussions;
advising the Chairman on the quality, quantity and timeliness of the flow of information from management to allow directors to perform their duties effectively and responsibly, including specifically requesting certain materials be provided to the Board;
recommending to the Chairman the retention of consultants who report directly to the Board of Directors;
interviewing Board candidates and making nomination recommendations;
assisting in assuring compliance with and implementation of the Corporate Governance Guidelines;
ensuring that he, or another appropriate director, is available for engagement with shareholders when warranted;
calling meetings of the non-employee directors as needed, developing the agenda for and chairing any such meetings and executive sessions;
acting as principal liaison between the non-employee directors and the Chairman on sensitive issues;
participating with the Human Resources and Compensation Committee in the periodic discussion of CEO performance;
leading the Board’s annual self-assessment and meeting with the CEO to discuss the results of the annual self-assessment; and
working with the Nominating and Governance Committee to recommend Board committee membership and committee chairs.

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 may suggest agenda items and raise matters that are not on the agenda at Board and committee meetings.

            27

 

CONSIDERATIONS IN SELECTING THE CURRENT LEAD DIRECTOR

Mr. Tilton has been elected annually as the lead independent director since February 2016 and was re-elected by our Board on February 9, 2022, to continue to serve as lead independent director. The Board believes Mr. Tilton is imminently qualified to serve as our lead independent director in light of his experience as the lead independent director for AbbVie and his recent service as chairman of the Midwest for JPMorgan Chase & Co. and non-executive chairman of the board of United Continental Holdings, Inc. Through these roles and other executive positions he has held, Mr. Tilton has demonstrated strong leadership skills that well-position him to lead our independent directors. Mr. Tilton also has vast management experience in overseeing complex multinational businesses operating in highly regulated industries, as well as expertise in finance and capital markets matters.

 

BOARD COMMITTEES

 

The Board has five standing committees, as described below. The charters for each of the committees may be found in the “Investors” section on the Phillips 66 website (www.phillips66.com) under the “Corporate Governance” caption. Shareholders may also request printed copies of these charters by following the instructions located under Additional Information. Other than our Executive Committee, all members of our Board’s committees meet the independence standards under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE listing standards, and SEC rules or regulations, as applicable. The tables below show the composition of the committees as of March 15, 2022.

SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH AND RESPONSIVENESS

 

For several years, Phillips 66 has conducted a formal shareholder outreach program to listen to investor perspectives on our business strategy; corporate governance; executive compensation programs; environmental, social and governance (“ESG”); and other matters that are important to our investors. Information and feedback received through our engagement activities are shared with our executive leadership team and the Board of Directors, which help inform their decisions and oversight, respectively. We have a year-round shareholder engagement program focused on understanding and being responsive to shareholders.

In 2021, we engaged with representatives of many of our top institutional shareholders and discussed executive compensation, the energy transition and our sustainability efforts, among other ESG topics of importance.

Our multi-phase engagement effort in 2021 was a year-long process that involved three distinct rounds of engagement:

(1)Lead-Up to the 2021 Annual Meeting
(2)Compensation-Focused Engagement (September 2021)
(3)Broader ESG Engagement (November 2021)

In the lead-up to the 2021 Annual Meeting, we undertook a significant effort to speak with our shareholders and hear their feedback on our compensation program, among other topics of interest. We leveraged those valuable insights to help build a set of potential compensation programs changes for 2022. Following the outcome of the 2021 Annual Meeting, we conducted extensive engagement to better understand shareholder perspectives and solicit feedback on our compensation programs and the potential enhancements under consideration. In November 2021, we followed up with a second round of engagement focused on broader ESG topics, including climate and our approach to the energy transition. Outreach in the second round of engagement included nearly all investors contacted in the first round of engagement. This approach enabled us to meet twice with a number of our shareholders during fall 2021 for discussions that provided us with valuable feedback that informed board deliberations.

This year, we heard that our shareholders were generally supportive of the planned changes made to our executive compensation program and disclosures, GHG emissions reductions targets, and climate lobbying disclosures, all of which were responsive to feedback received over the last year. Shareholders were interested in and supportive of our Board refreshment efforts and our attempts to declassify the Board. We also heard that investors are interested in additional disclosures on human capital management.

BOARD OVERSIGHT OF OUR COMPANY

 

Key Areas of Board Oversight

The Board provides oversight and advice in the following key areas:

 

  Strategy  

Risk

Oversight

 

Corporate

Responsibility/

Sustainability

  Human Capital Management  

Succession

Planning

Strategic Oversight

Setting the strategic course of the Company and providing oversight of strategic risks involves a high level of constructive engagement between management and the Board. The Board regularly discusses the strategic priorities of the Company and the risks to the Company’s successful execution of its strategy, including global economic and other significant trends, as well as changes in the energy industry and regulatory initiatives.

Risk Oversight

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 (“ERM”) program. The program is designed to identify and facilitate the management of significant risks facing the Company as well as the approaches to addressing risks.

 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

 

Has broad oversight responsibility over the ERM program and receives management updates on the development and implementation of the program.
Responsible for satisfying itself, in this oversight role, 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.
Exercises its oversight responsibility for risk assessment and risk management directly and through its committees.
Receives regular updates from its committees on individual areas of risk falling within each committee’s area of oversight and expertise.
Responds to the increasingly important aspect of cybersecurity to the Board’s risk oversight role by adding two members with information technology expertise and appointing them to the Audit Committee, which oversees cybersecurity risk management.

 

 

  Corporate Governance          33

 

BOARD COMMITTEES

 

Audit Committee      Has primary responsibility for overseeing the ERM program.
     Discusses the guidelines and policies to govern the process by which ERM is handled, and has been delegated responsibility to facilitate coordination among the Board's committees with respect to the Company's risk management programs.
   Throughout the year, the Audit Committee's meeting agendas, include discussions of individual risk areas, as well as an annual summary of the ERM process.
    Oversees information security (including cybersecurity) and technology risk management programs, which are fully integrated into the overall ERM program.

Compensation

Committee

    Considers the risks associated with compensation policies and practices for both executive compensation and compensation generally, as well as corporate culture and human capital risks generally.
Nominating and
Governance Committee
    Reviews policies and practices in the areas of corporate governance and is responsible for overseeing Board composition and director qualifications through the nomination process. Additionally, the Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for CEO succession planning.

Public Policy and

Sustainability

Committee

     Assists the Board in identifying, evaluating and reviewing social, political and environmental trends and related risks.
     Reviews management's proposed actions to anticipate and adjust to such trends and manage risks to achieve the Company's long-term business goals.
     Considers risks relating to: (i) health, safety and environmental matters; (ii) lobbying priorities and activities; (iii) public policy, including political spending policies and practices; (iv) corporate social responsibility and sustainability; and (v) emerging issues potentially affecting the reputation of the energy industry and the Company.

 

Corporate Responsibility/Sustainability Oversight

 

Corporate responsibility and ethics are the foundation at every level and aspect of our organization. Rigorous, consistent corporate governance practices contribute positively to shareholder value. Sustainability is integral to our corporate strategy and designed to ensure a resilient portfolio that creates long-term shareholder value.

We embrace engagement as an important tenet of good governance and value the views of our shareholders and other stakeholders. We believe that positive dialogue builds informed relationships that promote transparency and accountability. Although our Lead Director or other members of the Board periodically participate in meetings with shareholders as appropriate, management has the principal responsibility for shareholder communication.

Our board regularly reviews evolving corporate governance best practices, changing regulatory requirements and feedback from shareholders and makes changes it believes are in the best interest of Phillips 66 and its shareholders. Recognizing the growing importance of sustainable business practices, the public policy committee, which includes all independent members of the Board, changed its name in 2020 to the Public Policy and Sustainability Committee (PPSC). It also revised its charter to include the review of the Company’s sustainability program and initiatives to further emphasize oversight of these matters and the transition to a lower-carbon future.

In furtherance of our commitment to help the world address climate change, both the PPSC and Board actively oversee climate and other environmental matters and regularly receive updates on progress 

34          Phillips 66 2022 Proxy Statement  

 

 

against our ESG goals. Over the last year, our Board was involved in the target-setting process of our new company-wide GHG emissions reduction targets. The Board was also involved in the publication of our new climate Lobbying Activities Report, which details our governance, policy development and transparent reporting on climate-related lobbying activities.

We 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. The PPSC also oversees political contributions, independent expenditures and the administration of any political action committees, including the publication of our Lobbying Activities Report.

Human Capital Management Oversight

 

Our Board recognizes the importance of our human capital practices in creating value and supporting our vision. The ability of Phillips 66 to attract, retain and develop talented employees, and create a workplace where they can innovate and thrive, is an integral part of our competitive strategy to drive long-term value and mitigate risk.

To that end, our Board routinely engages with senior leadership on matters such as talent pipeline, turnover, workplace culture, and inclusion and diversity. Each committee collaborates with senior leadership to stay informed, measure progress against goals, identify potential risks and develop meaningful solutions. Results of employee surveys and metrics on talent and diversity initiatives are reviewed by the Board on a regular basis. Board members also periodically visit our sites and meet with employees to stay connected to our corporate culture.

In addition, certain human capital metrics have been and continue to be measured, reviewed and managed as part of our compensation program and are discussed by the Compensation Committee in its regular meetings.

This human capital management oversight responsibility sits with the full Board. The full Board’s engagement across the breadth of human capital management topics demonstrates the value Phillips 66 places on our people.

Succession Oversight

 

Management succession planning is critical to ensuring business continuity and performance. Our Compensation Committee has responsibility to oversee our management succession planning, a role it shares with the Nominating and Governance Committee in the case of CEO succession. Our succession planning includes quarterly sessions with executives to monitor and guide leadership development for our key corporate positions. The Compensation Committee provides the oversight necessary to ensure we develop corporate leaders who are prepared for their roles in both the ordinary course of business and unexpected circumstances.

 

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND ENGAGEMENT

 

We are committed to creating value for our communities through economic development, philanthropy, volunteerism and advocacy, and by operating our business in a socially and environmentally responsible way. The communities in which our assets are located and where our employees live are critical stakeholders. We consistently and regularly engage with our local communities and seek their feedback. Our refining operations have community advisory councils or panels that include both Company representatives and community members. Many panels include adjacent operations from our midstream and lubricants businesses. These panels meet at least quarterly with refinery management to provide feedback, discuss topics of local concern and share insights on plans and activities. Our pipeline business units have year-round community awareness, education and listening panels to stay connected with those involved with and living near our extensive pipeline network.

 

  Corporate Governance          35

 

MEETINGS AND ATTENDANCE

 

Board Meetings
      The Board of Directors met seven times in 2021. In addition to the regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, in October of each year, the Board holds a two-day strategy session with members of management to review the impact of different economic scenarios and strategic options on the long-term direction of the Company. All of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which they served. 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 directors to attend the annual meetings of shareholders. All of our directors who were serving as such as of the date of our 2021 Annual Meeting attended the meeting.

 

Executive Sessions

The independent directors hold regularly scheduled executive sessions of the Board and its committees without Company management present. These executive sessions are chaired by the Lead Director at Board meetings or by the committee chairs at committee meetings.

 

BOARD EDUCATION

 

Our Board recognizes the need to stay informed about current developments that affect the Company and the role of the Board and individual directors. Accordingly, the Board and each committee regularly receive educational updates from subject matter experts on a variety of topics, including legal and regulatory changes, governance practices, sustainability practices, and political activity. Our director onboarding program provides information on the Company and its business as well as the responsibilities of board members.

 

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct requires all directors and executive officers to promptly report any transactions or relationships that reasonably could be expected to constitute a related party transaction. The transaction or relationship is reviewed by the Company’s management and the appropriate committee of the Board to ensure that it does not constitute a conflict of interest and is appropriately disclosed.

Additionally, the Nominating and Governance Committee conducts an annual review of related party transactions between each director and the Company and its subsidiaries in making recommendations to the Board regarding the continued independence of each director. Since January 1, 2021, there have been no related party transactions in which the Company or a subsidiary was a participant and in which any director, executive officer, or any of their immediate family members had a direct or indirect

material interest.

The Nominating and Governance Committee also considered relationships that, while not constituting related party transactions where a director had a direct or indirect material interest, nonetheless involved transactions between the Company and an organization with which a director is affiliated, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer. The Nominating and Governance Committee determined that there were no transactions impairing the independence of any member of the Board.

Director Compensation

 

OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES

 

Compensation for non-employee directors is reviewed annually by the Nominating and Governance Committee, with the assistance of such third-party consultants as the Nominating and Governance 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.

The primary elements of our non-employee director compensation program are equity compensation and cash compensation.

 

 

Equity Compensation

In 2021, 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 2021, 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 additional cash compensation as indicated in the chart above.

 

37

 

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 first 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.

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 Director Compensation Table.

Other Compensation

The Board believes that it is important for 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 Director Compensation Table.

Stock Ownership

Each director is expected to own an amount of Company stock equal to at least the aggregate value 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 track to comply, with the stock ownership guidelines.

In 2021, non-employee directors serving in specified committee positions also received the additional cash compensation described previously. Compensation amounts reflect adjustments related to various changes in committee assignments by Board members throughout the year, if any. Amounts shown include any amounts that were voluntarily deferred to the Director Deferral Plan, received in Phillips 66 common stock, or received in RSUs.
(2)Amounts represent the grant date fair market value of RSUs. Under our non-employee director compensation program, non- employee directors received a 2021 grant of RSUs with an aggregate value of $200,000 on the date of grant, based on the average of the high and low prices for Phillips 66 common stock, as reported on the NYSE, on such date. These grants are made in whole shares with fractional share amounts rounded up, resulting in shares with a value of $200,045 being granted on January 15, 2021 ($93,028 granted on July 14, 2021 for Ms. Singleton’s and for Mr. Terreson’s prorated grant).
(3)All Other Compensation is made up primarily of certain gifts by 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 that we match under our Matching Gifts Program (Mr. Adams $12,500; Ms. Bushman $15,000; Ms. Singleton $15,000; Mr. Terreson $14,500; Mr. Tilton $15,000; and Dr. Whittington $15,000). For active directors, the program matches up to $15,000 with regard to each program year. The amounts shown reflect the actual payments made by us in 2021. All Other Compensation also includes any personal flights, automobile transportation expenses, smaller gifts (such as books, ornaments, and jackets) as well as associated tax protection, and tax assistance when we request family members or other guests to accompany a director to a Company function and, as a result, the director is deemed to make personal use of Company assets such as Company aircraft and thereby incurs imputed income.
(4)Amounts shown represent compensation paid to Ms. Singleton and Mr. Terreson following election to the Board in July 2021.
(5)Amounts shown represent compensation paid to Mr. McGraw and Ms. Tschinkel prior to retiring from the Board in March 2021.

Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the advisory approval of the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 2
 

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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).

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 SEC rules, 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. We currently provide our shareholders the opportunity to vote on this proposal annually. Our next vote to determine the frequency with which we will provide Say-on-Pay votes is expected to take place in 2025.

The Compensation Committee, which is responsible for the compensation of our CEO and Senior Officers (as defined in Role of the Compensation Committee), oversees 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 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. However, votes for or against our compensation programs will not necessarily inform the Compensation Committee and the Board about which elements of those programs shareholders approve or disapprove. For this reason, the Board encourages shareholders to engage with us to allow the Compensation Committee to understand shareholders’ views and consider that feedback when making decisions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  
 

 

 

"The Board values opportunities to hear directly from our shareholders. Over the past year, the Chair of the Compensation Committee and I engaged with our shareholders, and the committee has made changes to Phillips 66's executive compensation programs informed by the feedback we gathered.” 

- Glenn Tilton, Lead Director and Member of the Compensation Committee

 

Our Approach to Compensation and Governance  
 

 

Since our inception in 2012, our strategy is unchanged and we have operated with clear objectives – enable our high-performing workforce to execute our corporate strategy efficiently and effectively, while remaining vigilant and focused on safety and operating excellence, in order to deliver profitable growth, enhance returns, and provide a secure, competitive and growing dividend. As a result, we have built a resilient company, positioned for long-term performance even in the midst of difficult market conditions.

 

Pay-For-

Performance

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 remains at risk and based on performance metrics aligned with the execution of our corporate strategy.  
 

Shareholder

Engagement

After reviewing the results of the 2021 Annual Meeting, our Compensation Committee sought to better understand shareholder perspectives on our executive compensation program and practices. We have a well-established shareholder engagement program, including more in-depth conversations following the Annual Meeting to ensure a clear understanding of key considerations driving our shareholders' votes.  
 

Responsive

Changes

The Compensation Committee leveraged specific insights from shareholders to build a set of potential executive compensation program changes that we discussed in depth with them in the fall of 2021. In those conversations, we solicited additional perspectives on our executive compensation practices and found that our shareholders strongly supported the proposed changes.

Stakeholder Engagement on 2021 Say-on-Pay Vote Outcome
 

 

 

“We integrate shareholder perspectives in the design and delivery of our executive compensation programs, which are linked to our strategy, align pay and performance, and help us attract and retain executives. In addition to evaluating our executive compensation program design, we reviewed and enhanced our disclosures to align with shareholder feedback and expectations.” 

– Marna Whittington, Chair, Human Resources and Compensation Committee

 

Responding to the 2021 Say-on-Pay Vote Outcome

 

The Compensation Committee viewed the results of the 2021 say-on-pay vote as an opportunity to have more in-depth conversations with shareholders to understand their perspectives on our executive compensation practices and programs, and the Company’s approach to GHG emissions reduction targets and Climate Lobbying Disclosures. We leveraged those valuable insights to help build a set of potential compensation programs changes for 2022. Following the 2021 Annual Meeting two separate rounds of engagement discussions took place, the first of which was in September 2021 and focused on our compensation program design, the relative degree of alignment between Company performance and rewards, and potential program enhancements in response to shareholder feedback. The second round of engagement discussions, which took place in November 2021, provided opportunity to discuss investor perspectives on climate and the Company’s approach to the energy transition, in addition to capturing any further perspectives regarding compensation matters.

Lead-Up to the
2021 Annual
Meeting

In the lead-up to the 2021 Annual Meeting, we undertook a significant effort to speak with our shareholders and hear their feedback on our compensation program, among other topics of interest. We contacted 59% of shares outstanding and engaged with shareholders representing a combined 31% of shares outstanding. We leveraged those valuable insights to help build a set of potential compensation program changes for 2022.

NOVEMBER 2021 Follow Up Engagement:

Solicited additional investor perspectives on a full range of ESG topics

Following the compensation-focused discussions, we held conversations with over 20 shareholders representing a combined 40% of outstanding shares to discuss the Company’s business and ESG strategy, continuing Phillips 66’s long-standing shareholder engagement program. Outreach in this round of engagement included nearly all investors contacted in the compensation-focused engagement, and because of this, we met with a number of investors twice in fall 2021. Shareholders were supportive of responsive actions taken on climate matters, including setting robust GHG emissions reduction targets and publishing a climate lobbying report.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM SUMMARY  
 

 

 

“The compensation programs for our senior officers reflect the approach we have taken throughout the Company: we set well-defined goals that drive execution of our strategy and reward results.”

– Sonya Reed, SVP, Human Resources and Corporate Communications

Consistent with our philosophy that executive compensation be linked to Company performance and aligned with shareholder value creation, the compensation mix ensures that a significant portion of NEO compensation is at risk and based on performance metrics tied to our corporate strategy. Based on its evaluation of performance, the Compensation Committee has authority to reduce, and even award

nothing for, the performance-based payouts. 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. 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.

 

Compensation Program Mix  
 

The CEO’s target compensation mix is 90% at risk and 71% performance-based. The average target mix for the other NEOs is 84% at risk and 67% performance-based. Further, LTI awards make up 74% of the CEO and 69% of other NEOs target compensation mix. The target mix of the compensation program elements for the CEO and other NEOs is shown below.

2021 VCIP Payout

Demonstrating Resilience and Delivering Improved Performance

In 2021, we remained focused on our financial and operating performance, including navigating the pandemic and thinking long-term about the energy transition. While we realized a strong recovery year, actual results were scrutinized relative to prior year performance, and negative discretion was applied to the payout. The individual performance modifier for all NEOs was removed in 2021 based on shareholder feedback, therefore, no additional compensation above company payout was delivered to the NEOs.

Peer Group Overview    
 

Peer Group Selection & Rationale

Due to the size and complexity of our Company and diversification of assets, we utilize both (1) a compensation peer group and (2) a performance peer group. The Compensation Committee thoughtfully selects the peers in each peer group, evaluates their inclusion on an annual basis, and makes adjustments as necessary.

Criteria for Selection

Our compensation peer group includes companies that are comparable to Phillips 66 based on three primary criteria – assets, market capitalization, and business operations. Revenue is an additional, secondary criterion. The compensation peer group primarily consists of large companies with which we compete for talent. While some of our compensation peers fall outside our industry, the Compensation Committee believes their size, significant capital investments, and similarly complex international operations make them appropriate peers against which to benchmark our compensation levels and practices. At the time the compensation peer group was thoughtfully determined, Phillips 66 was at the 43rd percentile in assets, 63rd percentile in market value, and 65th percentile in revenue.

   

Criteria for Selection

Phillips 66 is uniquely positioned in the energy industry, with a large refining and marketing base, a growing midstream/NGL business and significant petrochemical operations. To reflect our unique portfolio of assets, we include companies operating in each of our three major segments – Refining and Marketing, Midstream and Chemicals. The performance peer group is used to assess relative ROCE and TSR performance. We believe that our performance peer group is representative of the companies that investors use for relative performance comparisons.

In addition to our performance peer group, we include the S&P 100 Index in the assessment of our relative TSR performance. The Compensation Committee believes the S&P 100 is an appropriate comparison for performance purposes as the index reflects companies with which we compete for capital in the broader market.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM DETAILS    
 

Total Rewards Philosophy and Guiding Principles    
 

Our Total Rewards Philosophy and Guiding Principles form the foundation upon which our programs are developed in alignment with our corporate vision, strategy and values. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews our Philosophy and Guiding Principles. Our programs are designed to attract, retain, develop and reward a high-performing workforce to successfully execute our corporate strategy by:

Compensating all employees equitably regardless of race, gender, or other personal characteristics
Paying for performance and driving the actions and behaviors of our employees, consistent with shareholder value creation, prudent risk-taking and a long-term perspective
Providing competitive Total Rewards aligned with market practice
Responding to the priorities of our evolving workforce

Base Salary    
 

% OF TARGET COMPENSATION  

CEO

Other NEOs

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 compensation 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 2021. 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 2021, including the effect of salary changes during the year.

2021 Target Setting Methodology    
 

The Compensation Committee establishes targets and goals that demand strong performance relative to peers, are aligned with corporate strategy, and protect and create shareholder value. In addition, our compensation program is used to educate, reinforce and focus our employees on areas important to key stakeholders — shareholders, customers, directors, management and our local communities.

Our target-setting process reflects changes in our operating and financial environment, so targets may decline relative to prior year performance while still representing a comparable level of challenge for our executive team.

EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF RETURNS – EMBEDDING WACC IN OUR TARGET SETTING PROCESS

We use Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) as part of our target-setting practice in our VCIP to set the Adjusted EBITDA targets and in our PSP to set the Adjusted ROCE targets. WACC represents our blended cost of capital across our businesses. Performance or results above our WACC reflect the ability of our executives to effectively manage capital and capture market opportunities, which results in value creation for our shareholders. Our executives must deliver results that are at least 1.5 percentage points above our WACC to receive a target payout in either the EBITDA metric in VCIP or the ROCE metric in PSP.

Restricted Stock Units

The number of RSUs is determined based on the fair market value of Company stock on the date of grant. RSUs awarded to our NEOs in February 2021 cliff vest after three years. RSUs do not carry voting rights but do earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period.

RSUs are typically granted in February each year. The Compensation Committee assesses the individual performance of each NEO and based on that assessment, may adjust an award by up to +/–30% of the target amount at grant.

 

Stock Options

These awards are inherently performance-based, as the stock price must increase before the executive can realize any value. 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 calculated based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model. The exercise price of stock options is set at 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted to our NEOs in February 2021 vest ratably over a three-year period and have a ten-year term. Stock options do not have voting rights and are not entitled to receive dividends.

Performance Share Program (PSP)

Each PSP has a three-year performance period, and therefore three PSPs are in progress at any time. Programs in effect during 2021 were PSP 2019-2021, PSP 2020-2022, and PSP 2021-2023.

The number of shares is determined by dividing the target value by the average of the stock’s fair market value for the 20 trading days prior to the start of the performance period, less anticipated dividends during the performance period.

The Compensation Committee assesses the individual performance of each NEO and based on that assessment, may adjust an award by up to +/–50% of the target amount at grant. Performance adjustments to the number of target shares are applied at the beginning of the performance period, rather than the end, so that performance-adjusted compensation is subject to Company performance and market volatility throughout the performance period, aligning executive compensation with shareholder interests.

Target shares may be adjusted during the performance period for promotions that occur during the performance period.

NEOs hired after the start of the performance period may receive prorated target shares in ongoing PSP cycles, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, so that their interests are immediately aligned with the Company’s long-term goals and shareholder interests.

Awards under the PSP programs are denominated in shares but are paid in cash using the average stock fair market value for the last 20 trading days of the performance period.

Relative TSR

The Compensation Committee recognizes that relative TSR is the most common performance metric for comparisons to peers. Our performance is assessed as compared to our Performance Peer Group and the S&P 100 Index. Starting with the 2019-2021 program, we added a cap on the portion of the PSP earned based on relative TSR if absolute TSR is negative. We made this change in response to shareholder input and in order to better align pay with corporate performance and shareholder experience.

Aligned with other peers’ practices, we have historically adjusted ROCE for “special items” that are not representative of our underlying operating performance. The Compensation Committee carefully evaluates all such adjustments to understand what impacts the adjustment would have on compensation outcomes and how the item factored into the Company’s operating and financial outcomes.

Performance Share Program – 2019 to 2021 Payout    
 

Stock price depreciation over the performance period, coupled with the 61% performance multiplier, resulted in a realized value of 56% of the initial target value, consistent with our pay for performance philosophy. This represents the lowest payout in Company history and reflects the challenging market conditions in which we have operated for the past two years.

The Compensation Committee considered the following results when approving the payout of 61% of target.

Key Highlights

RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED

The Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to increase the Company’s 2021 ROCE earnings used in the ROCE calculations by $1 billion after-tax. This increase primarily relates to removing the after-tax impact of asset impairment charges partially offset by removing the after-tax unrealized increase in value of our investment in NOVONIX. ROCE, as used in our PSP program, is a non-GAAP financial measure.

RELATIVE TSR

Relative TSR performance for the three-year performance period was -6.1% and 12th of 15 peers, including 13 peer companies, the S&P 100 Index and Phillips 66. This resulted in a payout of 40% of target for relative TSR performance, weighted at 50%.

The Compensation Committee approved payouts for our NEOs for PSP 2019-2021. The payment was made in February 2022 and is described further below and in the footnotes of the Summary Compensation Table.

Capped payout at 100% on TSR portion if absolute TSR is negative

New PSP Developments for 2022

For Absolute ROCE, threshold achievement level will be set as historical average ROCE of 3.5% to cover sustaining capital & dividends
Target and maximum achievement levels for Absolute ROCE will be set at 1.5 and 3.0 percentage points above historical average WACC of 7.0%
The historical average WACC will be reviewed on an annual basis by senior management to determine if it needs to be adjusted for current market conditions

Variable Cash Incentive Program (VCIP) – Program Design    
 

% OF TARGET COMPENSATION  

CEO

Other NEOs

The VCIP, which is our annual incentive program, is designed to provide variability and differentiation based on corporate performance. Through our operational and financial 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, which is base salary earned during the year, are multiplied by a VCIP target percentage that is based on each NEO’s salary grade level to derive the NEO’s target VCIP 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%.

Maintaining and enhancing a high-performing organization is critical to our success and is part of our human capital management strategy. Our employees promote our culture and are integral to achieving our strategic goals and maximizing long-term shareholder value. We measure our High-Performing Organization performance relative to the following:

Culture: foster behaviors that promote our unique culture

Capability: build depth and breadth in our skills

Performance: deliver exceptional, sustainable results

 

Environment

For Environment, we set Agency Reportable Environmental Events targets based on historical performance with the goal of continuous improvement. It is important to note that targets will fluctuate year over year due to Company growth and regulatory changes.

For 2021, we enhanced Environment to include two new metrics: Low-Carbon Priorities and Greenhouse Gas Priorities. These priorities reflected efforts to advance lower-carbon investments, optimization, and innovation as well as efforts to reduce manufacturing emissions intensity and setting GHG emissions intensity reduction targets.

Safety & Operating Excellence

For personal and process safety performance, we measure ourselves against the top performing companies in our industry. Generally, these companies fall within the top two quartiles of all companies reported. We then establish our threshold, target, and maximum goals based on the performance (25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles) of this group of companies.

For asset availability, for which comparative data is not available, we establish our threshold, target, and maximum goals based on our operating plan and historical performance with the goal of continuous improvement, incorporating the segments of our business and weighting them by adjusted EBITDA.

For Adjusted Controllable Costs, we measure our effectiveness in managing costs and set our threshold, target, and maximum based on our annual budget.

 

Threshold

Adjusted Controllable Costs should not exceed budget by more than 3%

Target

Adjusted Controllable Costs should achieve budget

Maximum

Adjusted Controllable Costs should be 3% under budget

For 2021, the adjusted controllable cost target was above actual performance in 2020 as the budget in 2021 assumed partial return to normal operations after a strong response of cutting costs in 2020 due to challenging market conditions. The increase in the 2021 target vs. actual performance in 2020 is mainly the result of increased maintenance expenses and growth.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA measures our ability to create shareholder value. Our threshold is the EBITDA required to cover sustaining capital and shareholder dividend commitments, and target and maximum are set at EBITDA levels that equate to ROCE levels 1.5 and 3.0 percentage points above our WACC.

Threshold

Adjusted EBITDA required to cover our sustaining capital and shareholder dividend commitments

Target

Adjusted EBITDA equivalent to ROCE of WACC + 1.5 percentage points.

Maximum

Adjusted EBITDA equivalent to ROCE of WACC + 3.0 percentage points

The 2021 adjusted EBITDA target decreased from $6.3 billion to $5.4 billion as a result of the Company’s WACC decreasing from 7.3% to 6.2% at the end of 2020 mainly as a result of lower risk-free rates and changes in our capital structure. Although the target decreased, the level of performance rigor required of management remained stable year over year.

The corporate metrics used in the VCIP will continue to reflect 50% operational sustainability metrics and 50% financial sustainability metrics, but the Compensation Committee has approved changes to the individual metric weightings to reinforce our commitment to best-in-class safety and achievement of low-carbon initiatives:
  Within the Safety & Operating Excellence component, Total Recordable Rate and Process Safety Event Rate will now each be weighted at 7.5% of the total VCIP, and Process Safety Event Rate will include both Tier 1 and Tier 2 events

  Compensation Discussion and Analysis          61


CEO PAY ALIGNED WITH COMPANY PERFORMANCE    
 

A significant portion of CEO pay is delivered in long-term incentives, which are designed to tie share price performance and achievement of our long-term financial goals. Mr. Garland’s pay as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) reflects the accounting value of long-term incentives at the time of grant and not the actual value received from these grants. When evaluating the compensation program each year, the Compensation Committee reviews outstanding awards and the value earned under the long-term incentive program in prior periods to confirm that the payouts are aligned with performance and intended incentives. As such, we believe it is useful to compare Mr. Garland’s “Adjusted SCT Pay” in the context of his “Realized Pay” to provide a clear picture of the value being delivered to Mr. Garland and how it relates to Company performance.

For purposes of the information in this section, we define:

“Adjusted SCT Pay” as the compensation disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, adjusted to exclude “Changes in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings” and “Other Compensation.”
Realized Pay” as the sum of (a) base salary and VCIP paid; (b) the amount reported as W-2 taxable earnings for the vesting of RSUs, exercise of any stock options, and vesting of PSPs with performance periods that ended in the applicable year (i.e., PSP 2017-2019 for 2019, PSP 2018-2020 for 2020, and PSP 2019-2021 for 2021).

As demonstrated in the chart below, Adjusted SCT Pay and Realized Pay differ meaningfully and demonstrate the intended link between our compensation program and outcomes for shareholders. During periods of strong stock price performance, our equity-linked long-term incentives may deliver more value to executives than is rendered in the Summary Compensation Table. When our share price declines, the value of our executive’s equity-linked long-term compensation declines and realized compensation may lag the value rendered in the Summary Compensation Table, consistent with the intended alignment between investor outcomes and compensation outcomes.

The charts and information included below are not substitutes for the information included in the Summary Compensation Table, but are meant to provide additional insight into our CEO pay:

(1) We have not included the Performance Share Programs that had a 5-year restriction period after the performance period for Realized Pay purposes. Specifically, we did not include the lapsing of restrictions of PSP 2011-2013 in 2019, and PSP 2012-2014 in 2020.

ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION PRACTICES    

Other Benefits and Perquisites    
 

Below is a summary of other compensation elements available to our NEOs:

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

Consistent 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 tax gross-up for these benefits.

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. Lashier were the only NEOs in 2021 designated by the Board as requiring increased security under this program. The program allows for certain additional security measures in specific situations when the senior executive is traveling by car or airplane. An additional security review of the NEO’s personal residences 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.

Phillips 66 Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (KEDCP) — This voluntary deferred compensation plan provides tax-efficient retirement savings by allowing executives to voluntarily defer both the receipt and taxation of a portion of their base salary and annual bonus until a specified date or when they leave the Company. Further information is provided in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.
Phillips 66 Defined Contribution Make-Up Plan (DCMP) — This defined contribution restoration plan restores benefits capped under our qualified defined contribution plan due to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limits. Further information is provided in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.
Phillips 66 Key Employee Supplemental Retirement Plan (KESRP) — This defined benefit restoration plan restores Company-sponsored benefits capped under the qualified defined benefit pension plan due to IRC limits. Further information is provided in the Pension Benefits as of December 31, 2021 table.

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:

ensuring shareholder interests are protected during business transactions by providing benefits that promote senior management stability;
providing and preserving an economic motivation for participating executives to consider a business combination that might result in an executive’s job loss; and
competing effectively in attracting and retaining executives in an industry that features frequent acquisitions and divestitures.

  Compensation Discussion and Analysis          63

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, and the executive’s current target annual bonus 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 a CICSP payment. We believe 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 Committee and the Audit and Finance Committee.

STOCK OWNERSHIP

The Compensation Committee believes requiring executives to retain shares of Phillips 66 common stock helps align executive performance with shareholder value creation and mitigates compensation risk. Our stock ownership guidelines require executives to own Phillips 66 common stock, valued as a multiple of the executive’s base salary, within five years from the date the executive becomes subject to the guidelines, as shown below:

Executive Level Salary Multiple
Chairman and CEO 6
Executive Vice President 3-5

Shares of Phillips 66 common stock owned and RSUs are included when determining whether an executive has met the required ownership levels. Compliance with the stock ownership guidelines is reviewed annually. All NEOs currently comply with these stock ownership guidelines or are on track to comply within the applicable five-year period.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS—INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(m)

IRC Section 162(m) places a $1 million limit on compensation that we may deduct for federal income tax purposes in any one year with respect to certain “covered employees.” Prior to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, such covered employees included our chief executive officer and our three other most highly compensated executive officers (excluding our chief financial officer). The $1 million deduction limitation was subject to an exemption for performance-based compensation.

With the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Section 162(m) performance-based compensation exemption has been repealed and the $1 million deduction limit now applies to our chief financial officer, as well as our chief executive officer and our three other most highly compensated executive officers. Further, once an executive officer becomes a “covered employee” the $1 million deduction limit

64          Phillips 66 2022 Proxy Statement  

continues to apply to compensation paid to such executive officer at any time, including any future roles within the Company, any termination or retirement payments, and payments occurring after their death. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act rules generally applied to us starting with our taxable year that commenced January 1, 2018, but do not apply to compensation provided pursuant to written binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017, that are not materially modified after that date.

We monitor the application of Section 162(m) and the associated Treasury regulations on an ongoing basis and the advisability of qualifying executive compensation for deductibility. Notwithstanding the repeal of the exemption for “performance-based compensation,” the Committee intends to maintain its commitment to structuring the Company’s executive compensation programs in a manner designed to align pay with performance.

TRADING POLICY

Our insider trading policy prohibits all employees and directors from trading Company stock while in possession of material, non-public 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.

HEDGING OR PLEDGING OF COMPANY STOCK

Our insider trading policy also prohibits hedging transactions and pledging of our stock. These prohibitions apply to all employees and directors of the Company, and cover any transactions in our stock, whether acquired pursuant to our compensation plans, owned directly, or otherwise. The prohibitions on hedging transactions include purchasing any financial instruments, or otherwise engaging in any transactions, that hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our stock or limit an employee or director’s ability to profit from an increase in the market value of our stock. The prohibition on pledging includes holding Phillips 66 stock in a margin account or pledging our stock as collateral for a loan.

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:

VCIP and LTI metrics are aligned with our corporate strategy to ensure continued focus on actions that drive shareholder value.
VCIP and LTI compensation targets increase with each pay grade, further emphasizing long-term value creation and alignment with shareholder interests.
Maximum payouts under VCIP and PSP programs are appropriately limited to balance risk-taking with long-term strategic goals.
Maintaining a level of discretion in the performance-based programs, which enables the Compensation Committee to award zero payouts to executives who perform poorly or when warranted by Company performance.
Clawback provisions that allow for reduction in awards for executives who expose the Company to undue risk.
LTI design that provides incentives for executive retention and Company and individual performance.
Stock ownership guidelines, anti-pledging policies, and anti-hedging policies that align executive interests with those of shareholders.

The Compensation Committee considers senior management succession planning a core part of the Company’s risk management program. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews with the CEO succession planning for senior leadership positions (other than the CEO position itself, for which succession planning is reviewed by the Nominating and Governance Committee), and the timing and development required to ensure continuity of leadership over the short- and long-terms, to manage risk in this area.

(1) Includes any amounts that were voluntarily deferred under our KEDCP.
(2) Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU and PSP awards determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Assumptions used in calculating these amounts are included in Note 20—Share-Based Compensation Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (our “2021 Form 10-K”).
  The PSP target award included in 2019 has a performance period that ended on December 31, 2021. The PSP target award included in 2020 has a performance period that ends in 2022. The PSP target award included in 2021 has a performance period that ends in 2023.

            69

 

  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 share 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 2021 were approved by the Compensation Committee at its February 2022 meeting. Those payouts were as follows (with values shown at fair market value on the date of payout): Mr. Garland, $3,536,303; Mr. Mitchell, $1,159,328; Mr. Herman, $881,885; and Mr. Roberts, $819,545.
  Earned payouts under the PSP 2019-2021 have been, and under the PSP 2020-2022 and PSP 2021-2023 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.
(3) Amounts shown represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards determined in accordance with GAAP. Assumptions used in calculating these amounts are included in Note 20—Share-Based Compensation Plans in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.
(4) These are amounts paid under our annual bonus program (VCIP), including bonus amounts that were voluntarily deferred under our KEDCP. These amounts were paid in February 2022, following the performance year.
(5) Reflects the actuarial increase in the present value of the benefits under our pension plans determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. There are no deferred compensation earnings reported in this column, as our nonqualified deferred compensation plans do not provide above-market or preferential earnings.
(6) We offer limited perquisites to our NEOs, which, together with Company contributions to our qualified savings and nonqualified defined contribution plans, are reflected in the All Other Compensation column as summarized below:

  Mark Lashier  43,100  6,534      17,400    47,732  116,050

  (a) Under the terms of our nonqualified defined contribution plans, we make contributions to the accounts of all eligible employees, including the NEOs. See the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table and accompanying narrative and notes for more information.
  (b) We maintain life insurance policies and/or death benefits for all our U.S.-based salaried employees (at no cost to the employee) with a face value approximately equal to the employee’s annual salary. We maintain group life insurance policies on each of our NEOs equal to approximately two times his or her annual salary. The amounts shown are for premiums paid by us to provide the additional group life insurance above what is provided to the broad-based employees.
  (c) Costs associated with executive physicals.
  (d) Costs associated with financial counseling and estate planning services with approved provider.
  (e) Under the terms of our tax-qualified defined contribution plans, we make contributions to the accounts of all eligible employees, including the NEOs.
  (f) We maintain a Matching Gift Program under which certain gifts by employees to qualified educational or charitable institutions are matched by the Company. The program matches up to $15,000 annually. The amounts shown reflect the actual payments made by us in 2021, which due to processing delays can include contributions in 2020 that were matched by the Company in 2021 and are therefore reported in this proxy statement.
  (g) The amounts shown primarily reflect payments by us relating to certain taxes incurred by the NEOs. We provide tax assistance when we request family members or other guests to accompany an NEO to a Company function and, as a result, the NEO is deemed to make personal use of Company assets such as Company aircraft and thereby incurs imputed income. We believe this type of expense is appropriately characterized as a business expense and, if the NEO incurs imputed income in accordance with applicable tax laws, we will generally reimburse the NEO for any increased tax costs (Mr. Garland $2,723; Mr. Lashier $211; Mr. Mitchell $5,440; Mr. Herman $5,230; and Mr. Roberts $812).

70          Phillips 66 2022 Proxy Statement  

 

    Also included are benefits required for employees covered under our Comprehensive Security Program, which currently includes Mr. Garland ($160,589) and Mr. Lashier ($47,521). Under the Comprehensive Security Program, Mr. Garland and Mr. Lashier are provided with the use of a car and driver when security deems it required and home security fees that are in excess of the cost of a system typical for homes in their neighborhoods.
  (h) The Phillips 66 Comprehensive Security Program requires in certain circumstances that Mr. Garland and Mr. Lashier fly on Company aircraft. The amount presented above represents the approximate incremental cost to Phillips 66 for personal use of the aircraft. Approximate incremental cost has been determined by calculating the variable costs for each aircraft during the year, dividing that amount by the total number of miles flown by that aircraft, and multiplying the result by the miles flown for personal use during the year. Incremental costs for flights to the hangar or other locations without passengers, commonly referred to as “deadhead” flights, are included in the calculation.
(7) To show how year-over-year changes in pension value impact total compensation, as determined under SEC rules, we included this column to show total compensation without pension value changes. The amounts reported in this column are calculated by subtracting the change in pension value, as described in footnote 6 to this table, from the amounts reported in the Total column. The amounts reported in this column differ substantially from, and are not a substitute for, the amounts reported in the Total column.
