Glass Lewis Recommends Shareholders Support Elliott's Case for Urgent Board Change at Phillips 66
- Elliott Investment Management has nominated Brian Coffman, Sigmund Cornelius, and Michael Heim to Phillips 66’s Board at the May 21, 2025 Annual Meeting to push for urgent governance changes.
- Elliott’s proxy campaign followed prolonged limited engagement with Phillips 66’s board, which maintains a combined Chair and CEO role, classified board, and over-tenured directors.
- Glass Lewis, ISS, and Egan-Jones endorse Elliott’s slate, criticizing Phillips 66’s poor operating performance, opaque disclosures, and weak governance as reasons for shareholder concern.
- Glass Lewis stated Elliott’s case is supported by a "relatively decisive margin," exposing Phillips 66’s "false narratives and distortions of the facts" and calling for board de-staggering to enhance accountability.
- The endorsements and governance critiques imply that electing Elliott’s nominees offers the clearest path to refocus Phillips 66 on core assets and improve long-term shareholder value.
