Dear Stockholders:
It is my pleasure to invite
you to attend the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Tesoro Corporation on Thursday, May 7, 2015 in San Antonio, Texas.
As always, the
Annual Meeting gives me a chance to speak with you about the state of Tesoros business while also offering you an opportunity to express your views on subjects related to our Company. Whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting in person, I
encourage you to review the enclosed information and vote your shares.
Looking back over 2014, I am extremely proud of what Tesoro accomplished
and excited about the momentum we have created for the future. Most significantly, in the fourth quarter of 2014, Tesoro Logistics completed the acquisition of a natural gas gathering and processing business. The closing of this acquisition marks a
significant step towards fulfilling our vision to create a full-service, integrated logistics company and is expected to further drive Tesoro shareholder value through its ownership of a significant portion of Tesoro Logistics.
During 2014, we made significant improvements on process safety and exceeded full year expectations for capture of synergies from the 2013 Los Angeles
refining, marketing and logistics acquisition. We reported 2014 financial performance, including 134% earnings growth, that reflected solid execution across our business. Also, during 2014, we increased our dividend per share by 22% and returned
over $600 million to stockholders through dividends and the repurchase of our common stock.
I appreciate the Board of Directors naming me as
Chairman of the Board effective December 31, 2014. Our Board of Directors is comprised of individuals with broad leadership experience, a number of whom have operating knowledge in the energy industry. I am grateful to our Board of Directors
for their guidance, leadership and oversight. I also encourage you to review the qualifications, skills and experience that we have identified as important attributes for our Directors beginning on page 7, and how they match up to each of us
individually in our biographical information beginning on page 64 of the Proxy Statement.
Thank you for your investment in Tesoro. I look forward
to seeing you in San Antonio.
Sincerely,
Gregory J. Goff, Chairman, President and CEO

GENERAL
INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2015 ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY
MATERIALS |
We are providing this Proxy Statement and related materials because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to
vote shares at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the Annual Meeting) to be held on Thursday, May 7, 2015, beginning at 8:00 A.M. Central Time at our principal executive offices, 19100 Ridgewood Parkway, San Antonio, Texas
78259, and at any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.
1. |
What is a proxy statement and what is a proxy? |
A proxy statement is a document that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations require us to give you when we solicit your proxy to vote your
shares on your behalf. A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. When you vote by Internet or telephone or by signing, dating and returning your proxy card, you designate two of our officers as your
proxies at the Annual Meeting. These two officers are Charles S. Parrish and D. Jeffrey Haffner, each with full power to act without the other and with full power of substitution.
2. |
Why did I receive a one-page notice (sometimes referred to as an E-Proxy Notice) regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials
instead of printed proxy materials? |
Under rules adopted by the SEC, we are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials
to each stockholder. Unless you have previously signed up to receive your materials in paper form, you will receive a document entitled Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice of Internet Availability) and
will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials or the annual report to stockholders unless you specifically request them. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our
Proxy Statement and our Annual Report, and how to submit your proxy on the Internet. Instructions for requesting printed proxy materials are also included in the Notice of Internet Availability. This process is designed to expedite
stockholders receipt of proxy materials, help conserve natural resources and lower the cost of the meeting. Set forth below is a summary of delivery methods:
|
|
|
Stockholders who previously signed up to receive proxy materials electronically: If you previously signed up to receive our proxy materials electronically, we will
send the Notice of Internet Availability to you via e-mail, to the last e-mail address you have supplied, on or about March 24, 2015. You will continue to receive these materials via e-mail until you elect otherwise. |
|
|
|
Stockholders who previously signed up to receive future proxy materials in printed format by mail: If you previously submitted a valid election to receive all proxy
materials in printed format, then we will send you a full set of proxy materials, including our Annual Report. We will begin mailing these materials on or about March 24, 2015. |
|
|
|
All other stockholders: If you have not submitted any elections, we will send you a printed Notice of Internet Availability by mail. We will begin mailing Notices of
Internet Availability on or about March 24, 2015. |
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 1
3. |
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner? |
These terms describe the manner in which your shares are held.
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and access to proxy materials is being provided
directly to you.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares,
which are considered to be held in street name. Access to our proxy materials is being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares.
4. |
How do I attend the meeting in person? What do I need to bring? |
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you plan to attend the annual meeting, you must follow these instructions to gain
admission. |
All of our stockholders are
invited to attend the Annual Meeting. If you attend our Annual Meeting, you will need to bring valid, government-issued photo identification. If you are a beneficial owner of our common stock, you will also need proof of stock ownership to be
admitted to the Annual Meeting. A recent brokerage statement or a letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of ownership. Failure to bring such documentation may delay your entry into or prevent you from attending our Annual Meeting. The
doors to the meeting room will be closed promptly at the start of the meeting and stockholders will not be permitted to enter after that time.
Each stockholder
may appoint only one proxy holder or representative to attend the meeting on his or her behalf. A large number of stockholders may wish to speak at our Annual Meeting. Our Board and management appreciate the opportunity to hear the views of
stockholders and participants, and in the interest of an orderly and constructive meeting, rules of conduct will be enforced. Copies of these rules will be available and only stockholders or their valid proxy holders may address our Annual Meeting.
5. |
If I am a stockholder of record, how do I vote? |
You may vote your shares as follows:
|
|
Vote by Internet, by going to the web address www.proxypush.com/tso and following the instructions for Internet voting or, if you have received a paper copy of the proxy card
by mail, by following the instructions on the proxy card. Your vote by Internet must be received by 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 6, 2015. If your shares are held in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan,
your vote must be received by 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 4, 2015. |
|
|
Vote by Telephone, by dialing 1-866-390-9971 and following the instructions for telephone voting or, if you have received a paper copy of the proxy card by mail, by following the
instructions on the proxy card. Your vote by telephone must be received by 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on May 6, 2015. If your shares are held in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan, your vote must be

Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 2
|
|
Vote in Person, by attending the Annual Meeting. Please refer to the instructions provided on the proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability. Please note that if your shares are
held in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or the Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan, you may not vote in person at the Annual Meeting; instead you will need to submit your vote through one of the ways described above. |
6. |
How can I vote if I am a beneficial owner? |
You will receive separate voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee explaining how to vote your shares. Please note that if your shares are held of
record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will not be permitted to vote in person unless you first obtain a legal proxy issued in your name from the record owner.
7. |
What if my shares are held in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or Retail Savings Plan? |
Participants in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or the
Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan may instruct Fidelity Management Trust Company, as trustee for such plans, how to vote all shares of our common stock allocated to their accounts. If a participant in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or the
Tesoro Corporation Retail Savings Plan does not instruct Fidelity Management Trust Company how to vote, the shares of our common stock allocated to such participants accounts will not be voted.
8. |
What if I am a stockholder of record and do not specify a choice for a matter when returning a proxy? |
Stockholders should specify their choices for each matter on
the proxy card. The proxies identified on the back of the proxy will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. Except as noted above with respect to shares held in the Tesoro Corporation Thrift Plan or the Tesoro Corporation Retail
Savings Plan, if your properly executed proxy does not contain voting instructions, the proxies will vote your shares in accordance with the voting recommendations of the Board as follows:
|
|
|
FOR the election of each of the nine nominees for director; |
|
|
|
FOR the approval of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation; and |
|
|
|
FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2015. |
9. |
What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my broker, bank or other nominee? |
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a
proxy that states that the broker does not vote for some or all of the proposals because the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote on the proposals and does not have discretionary authority to vote in the
absence of instructions. Under NYSE rules, brokers are not permitted to vote on any of the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting (other than the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm) without
instructions from the beneficial owner. As a result, your shares will not be voted on any matter other than the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm unless you affirmatively vote your shares in one of
the ways indicated by your broker, bank or other nominee.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 3
10. |
What can I do if I want to revoke or change my vote? |
If you are a stockholder of record, whether you vote by telephone, Internet or mail, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting in one of the
following ways:
|
|
Submit a new proxy card bearing a later date; |
|
|
Vote again by telephone or the Internet at a later time; |
|
|
Give written notice before the meeting to our Secretary at the address set forth on the cover of this Proxy Statement stating that you are revoking your proxy; or |
|
|
Attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person. Please note that your attendance at the meeting will not alone serve to revoke your proxy. |
Any change or revocation of your proxy must be received by the deadlines set forth in Question 5 above.
If you are a beneficial owner, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.
11. |
Is there a quorum requirement? |
A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist if the holders of a majority of shares outstanding on the record date are present in person or by
proxy. All shares voted by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum, including abstentions and broker non-votes (described above).
12. |
What votes are necessary for action to be taken at the meeting? |
Our Bylaws include a majority vote standard for uncontested
director elections. Since the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, the election of each director nominee requires a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the
votes cast means that the number of votes cast FOR a nominee must exceed the number of votes cast AGAINST such nominees election. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the director
vote.
Approval of each of the other proposals that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting 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 matter. For each proposal other than the election of directors, abstentions will have the same effect as AGAINST votes, and broker non-votes will have no effect on
the outcome of the votes.
13. |
Who will count votes? |
We will appoint one or more Inspectors of Election who will determine the number of shares outstanding, the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at
the Annual Meeting, the existence of a quorum and whether or not the proxies and ballots are valid and effective.
The Inspectors of Election will determine, and
retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of, any challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, and will count all votes and ballots cast FOR and AGAINST and any abstentions and
broker non-votes with respect to all proposals, and will determine the results of each vote.

Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 4
14. |
How are proxies solicited and what are the costs of proxy solicitation? |
We pay all of the costs of the solicitation of proxies,
including preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the Notice of Internet Availability. Solicitation may be made personally or by mail, telephonic or electronic data transfer by officers, directors and employees of the company (who
will not receive any additional compensation for any solicitation of proxies).
We have retained a professional proxy soliciting organization, Innisfree M&A
Incorporated (Innisfree), to aid in the solicitation of proxies from brokers, bank nominees and other institutional owners, and possibly individual holders of record of 1,000 shares or more, by personal interview, telephone or similar
means. We will pay Innisfree its customary fees, estimated not to exceed $11,000, and will reimburse Innisfree for certain expenses. We will also authorize banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of
our proxy materials and will reimburse them for their costs in sending the materials.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the election of directors and the other
proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement. However, if any other business is properly presented at the meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote such proxy in accordance with their best judgment.

Report on Form 10-K, including financial statements and schedules thereto, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Such written request is to be directed to Tesoro Corporation, 19100 Ridgewood Parkway, San Antonio, Texas 78259, Attention:

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholders Meeting to be held on May 7, 2015: This Proxy
Statement and our 2014 Annual Report are also available at www.proxydocs.com/tso. |

What is householding? If I have multiple stockholders at my address, how can I get additional copies of proxy materials? |
To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials
to stockholders who may have more than one account holding our stock but who share the same address, we have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called householding. Under this procedure, certain stockholders of record who have the
same address and last name will receive only one copy of the proxy statement and annual report, or Notice of Internet Availability, as applicable, until such time as one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they want to receive separate
copies. In addition, the broker, bank or other nominee for any stockholder who is a beneficial owner of our stock may deliver only one copy of the proxy statement and annual report, or Notice of Internet Availability, as applicable, to multiple
stockholders who share the same address, unless that broker, bank or other nominee has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces duplicate mailings and saves printing costs and postage fees, as well
as natural resources. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.
If, now or in
the future, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate annual report and proxy statement, or Notice of Internet Availability, please notify us by calling our Investor Relations Department at
1-800-837-6768 or by sending a written request to our Corporate Secretary at the address listed on
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 5
page 72, and we will promptly deliver a separate copy of these materials. Record owners who are receiving multiple copies and wish to receive only one, please call our Investor Relations
Department at the number listed above or send a written request to our Corporate Secretary at the address listed on page 72. Beneficial owners who are receiving multiple copies and wish to receive only one, should notify their broker, bank or other
nominee.
18. |
Will the company announce the voting results? |
The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the
SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS |
The Board of Directors
The current members of our Board of Directors are Rodney F.
Chase, Gregory J. Goff, Robert W. Goldman, Steven H. Grapstein, David Lilley, Mary Pat McCarthy, J.W. Nokes, Susan Tomasky, Michael E. Wiley and Patrick Y. Yang. During late 2014, Mr. Grapstein initiated discussions with the Governance Committee of
the Board regarding his recommendation that, in light of his long tenure as a director and his service as Chairman of the Board, the Committee consider not including Mr. Grapstein in the nominees to stand for re-election at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
After discussing and weighing Mr. Grapsteins desires and recommendation, the Governance Committee determined that it agreed with Mr. Grapsteins recommendation to not include Mr. Grapstein as a nominee to stand for re-election at the 2015
Annual Meeting. Mr. Grapstein will continue to serve on the Board until the 2015 Annual Meeting, at which time the size of the Board will be reduced from ten to nine directors. We thank Mr. Grapstein for his long-standing service on the
Board and his many contributions to the Board and our Company. Specific information about each of the other directors experience and qualifications can be found beginning on page 64 under Items to Be Voted On Proposal
No. 1 Election of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that all members of the Board are expected to attend our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and all ten of our current directors attended the 2014 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders.
Director Experience and Qualifications; Director Nomination Process
The Board believes that it, as a whole, should possess a
combination of skills, professional experience, and diversity of backgrounds and perspectives necessary to oversee our business. In addition, the Board believes that there are certain attributes that every director should possess, which are
described below. Accordingly, the Board and the Governance Committee consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Boards overall composition and our current and future needs.
The Governance Committee also develops and maintains a long-term plan for Board composition that takes into consideration the current strengths, skills and experience on the Board; the Companys director retirement policy; and the strategic
direction of the Company.
The Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing with the Board on an annual basis the criteria for Board membership in the context
of the current makeup of the Board. These criteria include diversity, age, education, skills, integrity, leadership and judgment all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that point in time. In addition, Board
members generally should have knowledge of our industry and should have a background that demonstrates an understanding of the financial and operational aspects, including the associated risks of a large, complex company. The Governance Committee
assesses the effectiveness of its criteria when evaluating new director candidates and when recommending director nominees to the Board.
In evaluating director
candidates, and considering incumbent directors for renomination, the Board and the Governance Committee consider a variety of factors, including each nominees independence, financial literacy, personal and professional accomplishments, and
experience in light of our needs. Each director candidate must supply information concerning these factors by completing and submitting a Director and Officer Questionnaire, as required by our Bylaws. For incumbent directors, the factors include
preparedness and past performance on the Board. Among other things, the Board believes it is beneficial to have individuals with the following skills and experiences on the Board, in no particular order:
|
|
|
Leadership experience, as directors with experience in significant leadership positions possess strong abilities to motivate and manage others and to identify and
develop leadership qualities in others. |
|
|
|
Knowledge of our industry, particularly oil refining, logistics operations and retail sales, which is integral to understanding our business and strategy.
|
|
|
|
Operations experience, as it gives directors a practical understanding of developing, implementing and assessing our business strategy and operating plan.
|
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 7
|
|
|
Legal experience, for oversight of our legal and compliance matters. |
|
|
|
Risk management experience, which is critical to the Boards oversight of our risk assessment and risk management programs. |
|
|
|
Financial/accounting experience, particularly knowledge of finance and financial reporting processes, which is relevant to understanding and evaluating our capital
structure and overseeing the preparation of our financial statements, and internal controls over financial reporting. |
|
|
|
Government/regulatory experience, as we operate in a heavily regulated industry that is directly affected by governmental requirements. |
|
|
|
Strategic planning experience, which is relevant to the Boards review of our strategies and monitoring their implementation and results. |
|
|
|
Talent management experience, which is valuable in helping us attract, motivate and retain top candidates for management positions. |
|
|
|
Public company board service, as directors who have served on other public company boards have experience overseeing and providing insight and guidance to management.
|
Highlights of the specific qualifications and experience of the individual director nominees are set forth under Items to Be Voted On
Proposal No. 1 Election of Directors beginning on page 64.
The Governance Committee periodically considers suitable candidates for membership on
the Board, including candidates recommended by stockholders. Stockholder candidates will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria for director selection described above. With respect to the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders
wishing to recommend a potential Board candidate for the Governance Committees consideration must deliver such recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth on page 72 of this Proxy Statement during the period
beginning on January 8, 2016, and ending on February 7, 2016, and include the name and contact information of the candidate. Candidates recommended to the Governance Committee in accordance with these procedures also will need to complete
a Director and Officer Questionnaire in the form we provide. Stockholders who wish to nominate a director at an annual meeting in accordance with our Bylaws should follow the instructions described below under 2016 Stockholder Proposals.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors currently consists of ten directors,
nine of whom are independent. Mr. Goff, who serves as our President and CEO, is not considered to be independent.
The Board undertook its annual review of
director independence in February 2015 and reviewed all relevant relationships of each director nominee, including transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and us. The purpose of these reviews
was to determine whether any of the director nominees had relationships or transactions that were inconsistent with a determination that the nominee is independent. In assessing director independence under the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board considered the fact, which the Board did not consider material, that Mr. Chase serves as a non-executive director of Hess Corporation, which serves as one of our
suppliers of crude oil. After reviewing such information, the Board affirmatively determined that each of the following directors has no material relationship with us and has satisfied the independence requirements of the NYSE and our Corporate
Governance Guidelines: Ms. McCarthy, Ms.
Tomasky and Messrs. Chase, Goldman, Grapstein, Lilley, Nokes, Wiley and Yang.
Board Leadership and Committees
Our governance framework permits the roles of
Chairman and CEO to be filled by the same or different individuals. This allows the Board flexibility to select the appropriate leadership for the Company based on a number of factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the
best interest of our stockholders at a given time. During 2014, Mr. Grapstein served as independent Chairman of the Board. In the summer and fall of 2014, the Governance
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 8
Committee, with the support of the full Board, undertook a thorough review and reassessment of our governance structure, including significant updates to our Corporate Governance Guidelines and
committee charters, as well as an examination of our Board leadership structure. In considering our Board leadership, the Governance Committee considered Mr. Goffs demonstrated record of success as President and CEO since May 2010,
including providing industry-leading results over the past four years, and the significantly increased size of the Company since Mr. Goff joined the Board. After deliberation, the Governance Committee and independent directors determined that
combining the roles of Chairman and CEO was the best way to reflect the critical nature of strategic and operational issues in the Board structure and to continue the Companys increased strength and growth by providing greater clarity and
focus regarding our operations, outlook and future strategy for investors, other stakeholders and interested parties. Therefore, Mr. Goff assumed additional responsibilities as Chairman of our Board effective December 31, 2014. At the same
time, the Board implemented an independent Lead Director structure and the independent directors elected Ms. Tomasky as Lead Director effective December 31, 2014. The Board believes that this structure, combined with strong, active
independent directors, at this time provides an effective balance between strong Company leadership and appropriate safeguards and oversight by independent directors. The independent directors will continue to periodically evaluate what is the
Boards most effective leadership structure.
|
Role of the Independent Lead Director The independent Board
members elect the independent Lead Director annually. The Lead Directors responsibilities include the following:
Chairs meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, including executive
sessions of the independent directors Assists the Chairman in setting the Board agenda
by taking into consideration the objectives of management as well as the needs of the Board and its individual committees
Coordinates with the Chairman and the General Counsel and Secretary to prepare Board and

goals and objectives Acts as a liaison between the independent directors and the

vote Coordinates the recruitment and selection of new Board members with the Chair of
the Governance Committee and the Chairman Maintains a close relationship of trust and
mentorship with the Chairman, providing advice and support while respecting executive responsibility |
The Board of Directors met eight times during 2014. Additionally, the independent directors met four times during 2014 in executive
session, chaired by Mr. Grapstein, who served as the independent Chairman of the Board during 2014. It is the general practice of the Board to meet in executive session, led by the independent Lead Director without Mr. Goff or any other
members of management present, at each of the regularly scheduled meetings of the Board.
The Board has the following standing committees: Audit Committee,
Compensation Committee, Environmental, Health, Safety & Security Committee, and Governance Committee. Each director attended more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and committees on which such director served (held during the period of
such directors service) during 2014. The primary responsibilities of each of the standing committees are set forth below. Effective March 1, 2014, the Board realigned the membership of its Committees, and effective February 10, 2015,
Mr. Grapstein was added to the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee. The membership of the Committees following such changes is shown below.

Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 12
Risk Considerations in our Compensation Programs
In July 2014, our management in consultation with the
Compensation Committees independent consultant performed an annual assessment of the risks associated with our current compensation programs. The Compensation Committee reviewed managements assessment covering our employees,
including executives and commercial trading personnel, and discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation programs. The assessment and discussions concluded the following:
|
|
|
Our compensation programs operate within a strong governance structure that serves and supports risk mitigation. |
|
|
|
Appropriate pay philosophy and market comparisons support business objectives. |
|
|
|
Programs are well-balanced between annual and long-term incentives and include a variety of performance indicators. |
|
|
|
The characteristics of our annual incentive program design do not encourage behaviors that would create material risk for our company because we base annual incentive awards on: |
|
¡ |
|
Corporate, business unit and individual performance goals, with a variety of pre-established performance conditions in each category, thus diversifying the risk associated with any single indicator of performance; and
|
|
¡ |
|
Financial and non-financial performance targets that are objectively determined by measureable and verifiable results. |
|
|
|
Our long-term incentive program encourages employees to focus on our long-term success by providing a mix of performance shares and market stock units, each of which rewards employees if we meet specified performance
goals or our stock price increases. These awards also incorporate pre-established caps to prevent excessive compensation. |
|
|
|
Our executive stock ownership guidelines promote our senior executives maintaining a substantial stake in our long-term success. |
We have established a clawback policy that allows the Board to recoup annual and long-term incentive compensation received by a senior executive for
misconduct resulting in a material financial restatement. The clawback policy is discussed in more detail under the heading Compensation Discussion and Analysis Clawback Policy in this Proxy Statement.
Transactions with Related Parties
Except for transactions relating to Tesoro Logistics, LP and
its subsidiaries, we did not have any transactions with any related party (as described below) requiring disclosure since the beginning of 2014. Our Board has a written related-party transaction policy and procedures that apply to any
interested transaction, which is any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we are a participant, the aggregate amount involved since the beginning of the last
completed fiscal year is or is expected to exceed $100,000, and in which a related party has a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of the policy, a related party includes (1) any person who is or was (since the
beginning of the last completed fiscal year), an executive officer, director or nominee for director, (2) any holder of more than 5% of our common stock, and (3) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing.
Our Governance Committee reviews the material facts of all interested transactions, and may approve or ratify such transactions, as appropriate. In
determining whether to approve or ratify any such transaction, the Governance Committee may consider whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar
circumstances, whether there are valid business reasons to enter into the transaction, whether the transaction would impair the independence of a director or present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer, and any
other factors it deems relevant.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 13
The Chair of our Governance Committee has the authority to pre-approve or ratify any related-party transaction in which the
aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $1 million. Any such action by the Chair of our Governance Committee must be reported to our Governance Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
The Governance Committee has reviewed and pre-approved certain categories of transactions under the terms of the policy. Information on transactions subject to
pre-approval is maintained by the office of the General Counsel and provided to the Governance Committee for its review at least annually. The types of transactions deemed pre-approved include:
|
|
|
employment of executive officers if the compensation is reported in the annual proxy statement or was approved by the Compensation Committee, |
|
|
|
transactions with other companies at which a related partys only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of
that companys total annual revenues, |
|
|
|
charitable contributions to an organization, foundation or university at which a related partys only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) if the aggregate amount involved does not
exceed the lesser of $1 million or 2% of that organizations total annual receipts, |

ongoing performance of the Operational Services Agreement and similar agreements under which we provide the Tesoro Logistics entities with certain operational services, and |
|
|
|
any other transaction between us and the Tesoro Logistics entities for which the annual aggregate amount involved does not exceed $10 million. |
Relationship with TLLP and QEPM
We own
(directly and through our affiliates) approximately 36.5% of the interests in TLLP, including a 2% general partner interest held by TLGP, our wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary. The general partner manages TLLPs operations and activities
through its officers and directors. Messrs. Goff, Casey, Sterin and Parrish serve (and prior to his separation from Tesoro Corporation and TLGP effective August 31, 2014, Mr. Spendlove served) as executive officers of both Tesoro
Corporation and TLGP.
TLLP owns (through wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries) approximately 57.8% of the interests in QEP Midstream Partners, LP
(QEPM), including a 2% general partner interest. The general partner manages QEPMs operations and activities through its officers and directors. Since TLLPs acquisition of the interests in QEPM on December 2, 2014,
Messrs. Goff, Casey, Sterin and Parrish have served as executive officers of both Tesoro Corporation and QEPM.

not employees included an annual retainer, payable partially in cash and partially in the form of restricted stock units representing the right to receive shares of common stock with dividend equivalent rights (RSUs), together with Board
and Committee Chair fees, as set forth below. Such RSUs vest one year from the date of grant, which is typically the date of our Annual Meeting of stockholders. We do not pay management directors for Board service in addition to their regular
employee compensation.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines
Prior to 2015, the Director Stock Ownership Guidelines required
directors to own stock (either directly, as deferred phantom shares or as restricted stock units) valued at five times their annual cash retainer. Directors who were serving as of May 1, 2009 had five years from that date to meet the ownership
requirement. New directors had five years from the date of their initial election to the Board to meet their ownership requirement. Once the requirement was met, the directors had to retain their level of ownership until they no longer serve on the
Board.
In early 2015, the Director Stock Ownership Guidelines were revised with an ownership requirement based on the first five years of annual equity grants
beginning with the date each director joined the Board. These ownership requirements, which are expressed as a fixed number of units, currently range from 3,274 shares to 6,942 shares. Directors who have not reached their individual ownership
requirement are required to hold all restricted stock units that vest and distribute into common stock. All current directors either meet these guidelines or are on track to do so within the required time period.

Executive
Compensation Compensation Discussion and Analysis |
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A)
discusses the principles underlying our executive compensation programs and the key executive compensation decisions that were made for 2014. It also explains the most important factors relevant to those decisions. This CD&A provides additional
context and background for the compensation earned by and awarded to our named executive officers (NEOs), as reflected in the compensation tables that follow the CD&A. Our NEOs for 2014 include the following individuals:
|
|
|
Gregory J. Goff, President and Chief Executive Officer; |
|
|
|
Steven M. Sterin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; |
|
|
|
Keith M. Casey, Executive Vice President, Operations (formerly Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development); |
|
|
|
Charles S. Parrish, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and |
|
|
|
Cynthia J. Warner, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Business Development. |
G.
Scott Spendlove, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, whose employment with Tesoro ended effective August 31, 2014, is also considered under SEC rules to be a NEO for purposes of this Proxy Statement.
2014 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders provided an advisory vote to approve the compensation program for our NEOs disclosed in our 2014 proxy
statement the (Say-on-Pay Proposal). Stockholders expressed substantial support for the compensation program for our NEOs, with approximately 94% of the votes cast voting in favor of the proposal. Our Compensation Committee, Board of
Directors and executive management team took into consideration this high level of support for our executive compensation programs and continued our compensation strategy as a result of the stockholder vote.
|
|
In 2014, our Say-on-Pay Proposal garnered 94% support
|
Executive Summary
Our Compensation Committee believes in pay-for-performance and
approves programs that are aligned with corporate and shareholder goals. To attract and retain top talent, total target direct compensation is set around the median of the competitive market with the opportunity to achieve greater compensation if
superior performance is achieved. Payments under our annual incentive and long-term incentive programs are performance-based and dependent on the achievement of annual and long-term goals approved by the Committee or absolute or relative
appreciation in the price of our common stock.
2014 Performance
We achieved strong financial and operating performance in 2014. Our compensation outcomes and decisions reflect this strong performance.

Highlights of 2014 Executive Compensation Programs
Reflecting our business results described above and other considerations, the Compensation Committees key decisions in 2014 and early 2015 included:
|
|
|
Approved base salary increases ranging from 3.7% to 7.1% in February 2014 for Messrs. Goff, Casey and Parrish as a result of the Compensation Committees review of competitive market data and individual
performance. |
|
|
|
Paid 2014 annual incentive program awards in March 2015 to all of our NEOs (except for Mr. Spendlove who received a pro-rated portion of his award pursuant to the terms of our annual incentive program). Our
operating performance and the Compensation Committees decisions regarding special items provided each of our NEOs between 188% and 195% of target. |
|
|
|
Annual long-term incentive awards were granted to Messrs. Goff, Casey, Parrish and Spendlove in February 2014. The awards included the following: |
|
¡ |
|
performance shares which are equally weighted between two distinct performance metrics (relative total shareholder return and relative return on capital employed); |
|
¡ |
|
market stock units (MSUs) that will become eligible for vesting at the end of the 36-month performance period based on our stock price performance over the performance period; and |
|
¡ |
|
for those NEOs serving as directors of TLGP (Messrs. Goff, Parrish and Spendlove), awards also included performance-based phantom units awards through the Tesoro Logistics LP 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan.
|
The Compensation Committee believes the actions described above clearly demonstrate our commitment to implementing and executing results-oriented
compensation programs that are market-competitive and reflect good corporate governance practices.

|
|
Use Rigorous Performance Goals
We use objective performance-based goals in our annual incentive plan that are rigorous and designed

|
|
Cap Incentive Awards

Compensation Philosophy
Our compensation philosophy is to offer competitive
compensation and benefit programs that will attract and retain the talented executives and employees who are critical to executing our strategic priorities and who exemplify our core values.
Our executive compensation programs are comprised of a mix of fixed and variable cash and equity-based pay with a significant portion of actual total compensation
dependent on meeting financial and operational objectives.
Our executive compensation programs are designed around the following concepts:
|
|
|
Rewarding leaders for delivery of outstanding business results and driving a performance-oriented culture; |
|
|
|
Promoting and sustaining exceptional performance over time to generate long-term growth in stockholder value; and |
|
|
|
Leading in accordance with our guiding principles, which are core values, exceptional people, shared purpose, powerful collaboration and superior execution. |
Our approach allows us to reward our executives for delivering value to stockholders while reducing or eliminating overall compensation levels if we do not achieve our
goals or consistently underperform our peers.
Our Compensation Committee and Compensation Decision-Making
Process
All compensation actions for our CEO
and other NEOs are approved by our Compensation Committee. The CEO; the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer; the Vice President, Compensation, Benefits and Human Resource Information Systems; and either the General Counsel or
Associate General CounselCorporate attend regular Committee meetings and provide information, analysis, additional perspective, and proposals for changes, as requested.
The Committee meets, together with the Committees compensation consultant outside the presence of the NEOs and all other executive officers to consider
appropriate compensation for our CEO, taking into consideration an annual review of the CEOs performance by the independent members of the Board. The Board receives a list of individual goals from the CEO each year during the first quarter and
the CEO formally reviews his performance against the goals with the Board during the year and after the close of the fiscal year. The independent Board members evaluate the CEOs performance. The Committee uses this performance evaluation,
market data and input from its compensation consultant to make key decisions regarding the CEOs base salary, annual cash incentive award payout and long-term equity incentive awards.
Overall target compensation and grants of long-term equity incentive awards for other members of senior management, including the other NEOs, are generally based on
market data as described below under the heading Comparative Analysis and internal equity considerations. Each year, the CEO completes an evaluation of each NEOs performance, taking into consideration factors such as financial and
operational results, individual contributions in obtaining those results and achievement of individual goals. Our CEO then makes annual recommendations to the Committee on the base salary, short-term compensation and long-term equity incentive
awards for members of senior management. The CEOs recommendations, our financial and operational results for the prior fiscal year as well as the comparative analysis described below under the heading Comparative Analysis, are
considered by the Committee when making decisions on adjusting base salaries, setting annual cash incentive targets, making discretionary adjustments under our annual cash incentive program and awarding long-term equity incentives.

Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 21
Compensation Consultants
The Compensation Committee engaged Frederic W. Cook &
Co. (FW Cook) during fiscal 2014 as a compensation consulting firm to review our compensation practices and to compare the compensation of our executive officers to that of our peers, as discussed in further detail below under the
heading Comparative Analysis. During fiscal 2014, FW Cook provided no services to us other than its work providing executive compensation advice to the Compensation Committee.
In February of 2014 and 2015, the Compensation Committee considered the following six factors with respect to FW Cook:
|
|
|
the provision of other services to us by FW Cook; |
|
|
|
the amount billed to us by FW Cook, as a percentage of the total revenue of FW Cook; |
|
|
|
the policies and procedures of FW Cook that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; |
|
|
|
any business or personal relationship of the FW Cook consultants with members of the Compensation Committee; |
|
|
|
any of our stock owned by the FW Cook consultants; and |
|
|
|
any business or personal relationship of the FW Cook consultants or FW Cook with any of our executive officers. |
After
considering the foregoing factors, the Compensation Committee determined that FW Cook is independent and the work of FW Cook with the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2014 has not raised any conflicts of interest.
Comparative Analysis
For fiscal 2014, we used a compensation peer group developed in
coordination with FW Cook. The compensation peer group was developed using the guiding principles that the compensation peer group should include a sufficient number of companies to minimize year-over-year volatility in compensation data; selection
criteria should be objective where possible and include similar scale, industry, and business characteristics that reflect our current circumstances as well as our business direction; and companies should be US-based to facilitate compensation
comparisons.
Based on the principles outlined above, the following selection criteria to develop the compensation peer group were used in 2014:
|
|
|
Asset/Capital intensive nature; |
|
|
|
Primarily manufacturers in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, forest products and utilities in which commodity prices heavily influence profitability; |
|
|
|
Environmentally and safety focused; |
|
|
|
Currently in a highly regulated business or whose core operations are likely to be significantly impacted by proposed regulations; |
|
|
|
Operate a number of fixed manufacturing sites or plants; and |
|
|
|
Companies should generally be no less than one-third and no greater than three times our size as measured by revenue, total assets, and market capitalization. |
However, the Compensation Committee has also suggested limiting the number of companies within an adjacent industry to avoid becoming too heavily weighted in any
particular industry.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 22
The Compensation Committee typically reviews the compensation peer group with FW Cook in July each year. There were no
acquisitions, consolidations, spin-offs or other significant business changes among the compensation peer group that impacted its composition in 2014. The members of our compensation peer group, which was used by FW Cook during the annual assessment
of total compensation for senior executives presented to the Compensation Committee in October 2013 and October 2014, are included in the table below. For purposes of measuring performance to determine payouts associated with the performance shares
granted during fiscal 2014, we used a separate performance peer group, as discussed in more detail below under the heading Long-Term Incentives.

Elements of Executive Compensation / Pay for Performance
This section highlights how and why we believe
the Companys compensation programs are designed to create a pay for performance culture. Our executive compensation programs are comprised of a mix of fixed and variable cash and equity-based pay with a significant portion of actual total
compensation dependent on meeting financial and operational objectives. Our executive officers receive their maximum reward opportunity only if the Company performs exceptionally well, and our shareholders benefit from that performance.

compensation peer group and our compensation philosophy. However, the Compensation Committee does not determine the level of total direct compensation based exclusively on comparative analysis against our compensation peer group. It considers other
factors, which may include internal pay equity and consistency and the executives job responsibilities, management experience, individual contributions, number of years in his or her position and recent compensation adjustments, as well as
other relevant considerations (with no particular weighting assigned to any of these factors).
|
|
We generally target total direct compensation
(base salaries, annual cash incentives and long-term incentives)
at the 50th percentile |
We believe targeting the 50th percentile of our compensation peer group for total direct compensation is a competitive starting point to
attract and retain critical executive talent. Our emphasis on variable or at risk components of incentive pay results in actual compensation ranging above or below the median based on the achievement of the objectives established in our
annual and long-term incentive plans and changes in the value of our stock. While the Compensation Committee assesses each compensation component separately, the aggregate total direct compensation is considered in the context of the overall pay
determination. Our strategy also includes ongoing evaluation and adaptation, as necessary, of our compensation programs to ensure continued alignment between company performance and pay.
Elements of 2014 Target Compensation

|
(1) |
The compensation elements above are based on our CEOs and other NEOs targeted compensation opportunities on an annualized basis, which may differ from the amounts listed in the Summary Compensation table and
Grants of Plan-Based Awards table listed below. 88% of Mr. Goffs 2014 target compensation and 72% of the other NEOs 2014 target compensation was considered at-risk because it was based upon achieving specific performance
measures. |
Base Salaries
Base salaries for our NEOs are reviewed each year relative to market competitive data as well as other relevant considerations described above. On February 4,
2014, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in the base salaries for Mr. Goff and certain other NEOs, each effective February 9, 2014 as part of the annual compensation

Annual Performance Incentives
We believe that annual cash based incentives promote managements efforts to drive the achievement of annual performance goals and objectives, which in turn help
to create additional stockholder value. In February 2014, the Compensation Committee approved the 2014 incentive compensation program (the 2014 ICP) based on managements recommendation. The 2014 ICP structure approved for our
senior executives was similarly used for our salaried and hourly incentive-eligible employees and provides all employees under the program with the same upward and downward bonus opportunity (0% below threshold; 50% at threshold; 100% at target;
200% at maximum). The calculation of total 2014 ICP bonus payout to an employee is determined as follows, with each element described below the calculation:

Target Bonus Opportunities (%) for
our NEOs are approved by the Compensation Committee based on analysis of market-competitive data of our compensation peer group, while also taking into consideration our compensation philosophy and other factors, such as internal equity and
individual contributions. For 2014, Mr. Goffs target bonus amount, as a percentage of base salary earnings for the year, was increased from 125% to 150% to maintain relative market competitiveness and to provide greater upside pay
opportunity for demonstrated performance. For our other NEOs, 2014 target bonus opportunities, as a percentage of base salary earnings for the year, were as follows: Mr. Sterin 80%, Mr. Casey 90%, Mr. Parrish 75%,
Ms. Warner 80%, and Mr. Spendlove 70%.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 26
Performance Objectives for Determining Overall Performance Achieved (%)
The ICP structure uses a mix of objectives designed to focus management on key areas of performance. For Mr. Goff, 2014 ICP payouts were determined by performance
against pre-established performance levels for our overall corporate performance. For the other NEOs, 2014 ICP payouts were determined by performance against pre-established performance levels for two components (corporate performance and business
unit performance), as detailed below. Business unit performance was added for the NEOs, other than Mr. Goff, because each of them has responsibility for a specific business unit or several business units. The majority of the weightings between
corporate and business unit performance is 50% corporate and 50% business unit. For certain administrative functions, a heavier weighting is applied to corporate performance to create strong alignment to corporate goals and ensure harmonization of
efforts across administrative and operating functions.

Strategy and Business Development |
Our corporate performance results and results of the individual business units may be adjusted to take into account unbudgeted business
decisions, unusual or non-recurring items, and other factors, as approved by the Compensation Committee, to determine the total amount, if any, available under the 2014 ICP.
Component 1 Corporate Performance
The first component of the ICP was our corporate performance, including the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), cost management,
business improvement, and safety and environmental measures described below (ranked in order of weighting).
|
|
|
EBITDA, at 50%, was the most heavily weighted metric of this component because we believe that significant improvements in EBITDA drive cash flow, provide financial strength, and increase stockholder value. Targets for
this component are based on our annual business plan. We measure EBITDA on a margin neutral basis by excluding fluctuations in commodity prices (and thereby fluctuations in margins) over which management has little influence. To ensure results
achieved do not reflect positive or negative impact of market factors, EBITDA performance for ICP purposes is adjusted by the amount of the difference between actual and budgeted results for the Tesoro refining margin index multiplied by budgeted
throughput. We recognize that the use of EBITDA on a margin neutral basis to assess our performance is different from our reported results, but we believe that it more accurately reflects the efforts and results of management and our employees to
meet and exceed performance objectives and goals without the influence of fluctuating prices and margins on compensation or goal setting. |
|
|
|
Controllable cost management is weighted at 17.5% of this component because it is clearly within the control of our employees and key to our performance. Targets are based on our annual business plan that is reviewed by
the Board. This metric is measured as total cash costs excluding annual incentive compensation program, stock-based compensation expense, non-controllable expenses for post-retirement employee benefits (pension, medical, life insurance) and
insurance (property, casualty and liability), spill prevention costs and environmental accruals and benefits. It includes allocations of refining maintenance and labor to capital projects. Refining energy variable costs and internally produced fuel
consumption are market adjusted to budget-assumed prices. |
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 27
|
|
|
Business Improvement is weighted at 17.5% of this component and includes capital improvement initiatives, synergies related to asset acquisitions and other projects and initiatives. |
|
|
|
Personal safety, process safety and environmental safety, each weighted at 5%, are critical to the success of our Company and reflect our ability to operate our assets in a safe and reliable manner. Because we believe
in continuous improvement, each of our safety metrics is measured by improvement compared to the average incident rate for the prior three year period. |
See discussion above for explanation of metrics.
|
These components resulted in a weighted average overall performance on the
corporate component of 188%. See discussion below for adjustments to
results. |
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 28
Calculation and Adjustment of Corporate Performance:
|
|
|
To ensure results achieved do not reflect positive or negative impact of market factors, EBITDA performance for ICP purposes is adjusted by the amount of the difference between actual and budgeted results for the Tesoro
refining margin index times budgeted throughput. In 2014, the margin neutral EBITDA used for purposes of calculating ICP awards was $2.293 billion while our reported EBITDA was $2.3 billion. In prior years, the effect of adjusting EBITDA to a margin
neutral basis has resulted in ICP EBITDA being both above and below reported EBITDA and it will likely continue having varying impacts in future years. |
|
|
|
For the calculation of both the EBITDA and cost management components, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to take into consideration special items, including decisions that have a material impact on our
results compared to budget, unusual items and non-recurring items. For calculating the 2014 results shown above, the most significant items which the Committee considered in calculating EBITDA and cost management performance were related to
unbudgeted expenses associated with funding Tesoros newly formed charitable foundation and costs of acquiring and integrating the natural gas gathering and processing business from QEP Resources (QEP). |
Component 2 Business Unit Results
The second 2014 ICP component was more specifically tailored to the performance of the individuals business unit. Our business unit goals are directly aligned
with our corporate objectives and are measured using common criteria to promote consistency throughout the organization. Business unit criteria include safety and environmental, cost management, improvements in EBITDA, and business improvement and
value creation initiatives. Like the overall structure of the 2014 ICP, the business unit targets were set at stretch levels that were challenging and would generate significant value for our stockholders. Business unit targets are not disclosed
because such information is confidential and disclosure of such information would cause competitive harm to us.
Individual Performance
Adjustments
The Committee also has discretion to adjust individual awards based on their assessment of an individual executives performance
relative to successful achievement of goals, business plan execution, and other leadership attributes. Adjustments are applied as a percentage of an individual target bonus opportunity.
In recognition of Mr. Goffs significant leadership as evidenced by the Companys strong financial and operating performance during 2014, the successful
completion of the acquisition of QEPs natural gas gathering and processing business, and continuing to drive outstanding safety and environmental results, the Committee approved a 30% upward adjustment for Mr. Goffs incentive
compensation award. The Committee approved a 25% upward adjustment for Mr. Casey in recognition of excellent performance in running operations, leading the Strategy and Business Development function prior to assuming his current role, and
for making significant progress in improving the operating performance of the Companys logistics business. In recognition of Mr. Parrishs significant commercial and legal contributions in support of the acquisition of QEPs
field service assets, the Committee approved a 25% upward adjustment to his ICP award. Mr. Sterin demonstrated strong leadership and was instrumental in the QEP field service acquisition. As a result, the Committee provided Mr. Sterin with
a 10% upward adjustment. The Committee did not make any adjustments to Ms. Warners or Mr. Spendloves ICP awards.

Long-Term Incentives
We believe that our senior executives, including our NEOs, should have their interests aligned with
those of our stockholders. Accordingly, we believe that these executives should have a considerable portion of their total compensation tied to stock price performance in the form of equity incentives. For our NEOs, the Compensation Committee
approves a target award value for long-term incentives based on analysis of market-competitive data of our compensation peer group. In addition, other factors such as internal equity and individual contributions are considered. These decisions
resulted in the long-term incentive target values granted in 2014 to each of the NEOs shown below.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 30
Our long-term incentive awards for existing employees recognize the importance of pay for performance while addressing
employee retention through the grants of performance shares (generally 50% of the total award value for NEOs and split evenly between two equally-weighted separate performance metrics) and MSUs (generally 50% of the total award value for NEOs). The
mix of equity awards is intended to align long-term incentive compensation with specific performance measures, including stock price performance. The allocation of awards between performance shares and MSUs is designed to provide a balance between
the retentive value of MSUs (tied to absolute shareholder return) with the belief that pay should also be closely aligned with relative performance. However, for those NEOS who also served as directors of TLGP at the time of grant, we awarded 20% of
their total award value in the form of TLLP phantom units to align a portion of the NEOs incentives with TLLPs unitholders. For new executives hired during 2014, we granted a mix of market stock units and time-based restricted stock. The
restricted stock component is designed to replace long-term incentives that the executive may have forfeited with a prior employer to accept a Tesoro position.

Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 31
In determining the number of shares or units granted and paid out at the end of the performance period, we use an average
stock price of the 30-trading days leading up to the date of grant or end of the performance period. This approach lessens the impact of daily stock price volatility on the number of awards granted and value of the ultimate payout. The components of
the long-term incentives granted to Messrs. Goff, Casey, Parrish and Spendlove in February 2014 were as follows:
|
|
|

Due to rounding in the grant of equity units, changes in our stock price between the date on which the awards were determined and the date the awards were granted, and accounting assumptions utilized in valuing equity
awards, the target grant value may differ from the actual value granted. |
In addition, Mr. Casey received an award of 5,636 MSUs in connection
with his promotion to Executive Vice President, Operations, on June 1, 2014.
Mr. Sterin and Ms. Warner were each hired after the annual long-term

Performance Share Awards
PSA Grants. Performance share awards granted in 2014 pay out between 0% and 200% of
target based on achievement with respect to the applicable performance goal.
|
|
|
The performance peer group is made up of HollyFrontier Corporation, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Phillips 66, Valero Energy Corporation (the LTI
Performance Peer Group), and the Standard & Poors 500 Index (S&P 500). The LTI Performance Peer Group includes refining and marketing companies that have
|
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 32
|
common characteristics with us. These common characteristics are not necessarily shared by other companies in our compensation peer group, or by some of our larger competitors within the oil and
gas industry. We think it is appropriate to measure our performance against the LTI Peer Group for relative TSR and relative ROCE purposes because we believe investors view our businesses in a similar manner. Use of the S&P 500 measurement for
determining relative TSR will reflect our performance against a broader index of large-cap common stock companies. |
|
|
|
50% of the performance shares are based on our relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 measured against the performance peer group. For purposes of
the 2014 awards, TSR is defined as the appreciation in our stock price during the performance period (in dollars) plus cumulative dividends (excluding special dividends) paid during the performance period. TSR will be measured using the average of
three discrete one-year TSR calculations during the performance period. For the TSR metric, our performance share award payout is determined in accordance with the following table. Payouts between points shown below will be adjusted accordingly.
|
|
|
|
50% of the performance shares are based on our Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 measured against the LTI Performance Peer Group. |
|

The actual number of performance share awards earned at the end of the performance period will be equal to the target number of performance share awards granted multiplied by our performance share payout % with respect
to the performance metrics. |

For purposes of the 2014 awards, ROCE is defined as earnings before interest and taxes divided by the average total capital employed. Total capital employed equals working capital (excluding current maturities of debt)
plus net property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets less other liabilities (excluding debt). ROCE will be measured using the average of three discrete one-year ROCE calculations during the performance period. For the ROCE metric, our

MSU award is a grant of stock units in which the number of shares earned at vesting is based on our stock price performance over the performance period. MSUs were introduced in 2011 and replaced traditional time-vested awards in order to directly
align long-term incentive pay with stock price performance. The MSUs granted in 2014 will become eligible for vesting, based on stock price performance and continued employment, at the end of a 36-month performance period beginning on
February 4, 2014 and ending on February 4, 2017. Upon vesting, the number of shares earned will be determined as follows:

However, there is no payout if the average closing stock price for the 30 trading days prior to the vesting has decreased by 50% or more from the
average closing stock price for the 30 trading days prior to the grant date. In addition, the number of units that may be issued upon payout is capped at 200% of target.

TLLP Equity Awards
Messrs. Goff,
Sterin, Casey and Parrish are (and until termination of his employment with Tesoro, Mr. Spendlove was) executive officers of Tesoro, and in addition to rendering services to Tesoro, they devoted some of their professional time to TLLP during
2014. For Messrs. Goff, Spendlove, and Parrish (each of whom was serving as a director of TLGP at the time of annual long-term incentive grants), 20% of their total 2014 long-term incentive value, approved by the Compensation Committee, was
delivered in the form of performance phantom units of TLLP. The TLLP performance phantom units will vest based on the achievement of relative total unitholder return over a performance period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016
as compared to a peer group of companies. The peer companies currently include Buckeye Partners, Enbridge Energy Partners, Genesis Energy, LP, Global Partners, Holly Energy Partners, Magellan Midstream Partners, Martin Midstream Partners, MPLX,
NuStar Energy, Phillips 66 Partners, Sunoco Logistics Partners, Targa Resources Partners and TransMontaigne Partners. These companies were selected based on the TLGP Boards view that key stakeholders compare TLLPs business results and
relative performance with these companies. The payout will range from none of the units vesting for performance below the 30% percentile of relative total unitholder return, to vesting of 200% of the units for performance that is at or above the 90th percentile of relative total unitholder return.
The first TLLP performance phantom units granted to executives in
May 2011 represented the right to receive common units at the end of the April 20, 2011 through December 31, 2013 performance period depending upon TLLPs achievement of relative total unitholder return against a defined performance
peer group. Such units were paid in February 2014 based on performance at maximum payout amounts. These payouts were reported in our 2014 proxy statement.
The TLLP
performance units granted to executives in February 2012 represented the right to receive common units at the end of the January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014 performance period depending upon TLLPs achievement of relative total
unitholder return against a defined performance peer group. TLLPs total unitholder return of 95.50% resulted in a payout of 145.45% of the target amount. Such units were paid in February 2015 and are reported in under Executive
Compensation Compensation Tables and Narratives -- Option Exercises and Stock Vested in 2014.
Executive Benefits
In order to promote consistency with overall competitive practices and our compensation philosophy and to adopt a best practice
compensation design, as of July 1, 2010, our executive officers are generally no longer entitled to any perquisites. However, in order to remain competitive and attract quality executives, we continue to allow executives to participate in our
relocation program which is generally available to all management. Our executive officers do not receive a tax gross-up associated with any relocation benefits. This program also includes a recoupment provision in the event employment is terminated
within a one-year period.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 35
We provide health and welfare benefits and maintain non-contributory qualified and non-qualified retirement plans that
cover officers and other eligible employees. Retirement and health and welfare benefits provided to our NEOs are designed to be consistent in value and aligned with benefits offered by companies with whom we compete for talent. See the discussion
under the heading Retirement/Pension Benefits in 2014 for a description of the retirement plans.
Change-in-Control and
Termination Arrangements
On January 12, 2011, the Board approved an Executive Severance and Change-in-Control Plan (the Plan). The
Plan reduces uncertainty for certain executives in the event of a change-in-control or other events affecting our Companys existence and provides a benefit in the event of the termination of employment of certain executives, including each of
our NEOs, under certain conditions that are beyond the executives control. The Plan, which does not provide for excise tax gross-ups for retirement benefits, is market competitive with amounts payable to executives terminated involuntarily or
upon a change-in-control event, is consistent with stockholder-friendly pay practices and eliminates the need to offer new individuals employment agreements. Our severance and change-in-control provisions for our NEOs are summarized under the
heading Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control in this Proxy Statement.
Omnibus Agreement with TLLP
Under the terms of an omnibus agreement with TLLP, TLLP pays an administrative fee to reimburse Tesoro for the provision of general and
administrative services for TLLPs benefit. Although Messrs. Goff, Sterin, Casey, Parrish and Spendlove provided services to both Tesoro and TLLP during 2014, no portion of the administrative fee was specifically allocated to the services they
provided to TLLP.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our Board has established stock ownership guidelines under
which each of the executives in the positions named below is required to retain 50% of the net shares obtained from performance awards (including PSAs and MSUs) settled in stock, vesting of a restricted stock grant or an option exercise until he or
she satisfies the ownership guidelines based on a multiple of salary as set forth in the following table. Each executive is also required to retain that level of ownership for as long as the individual is a part of our senior management team. Our
NEOs have either met or are on track to meet the ownership guidelines and are continuing to retain 50% of the net shares obtained from performance awards settled in stock, vesting of a restricted stock grant or an option exercise.

Equity Grant/Trading Policies
The Compensation Committee has adopted an equity award
governance policy under which all long-term equity incentives are granted. The policy prohibits the issuance of stock options at a price less than the closing sale price of our common stock on the date of grant. We generally grant equity awards at
the Compensation Committees meeting in late January or early February of each year. We have chosen this time because it is the first meeting of each calendar year at which our results of operations from the previous year are available to the
Compensation Committee. We do not purposely accelerate or delay the public release of material information, or otherwise time equity grants in coordination with the public release of material information, in consideration of a pending equity grant
in order to allow the grantee to benefit from a more favorable stock price.
We also maintain a securities trading policy which prohibits, among other things, any
employees and directors from entering into transactions when in possession of material non-public information or from participating in short-term
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 36
trading or hedging activities involving our securities. The policy requires directors, senior executives and informational insiders to follow preclearance procedures for all transactions
involving our securities. It also prohibits them from trading in derivative securities (other than equity-settled awards granted by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors) or holding our securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging
them as collateral for a loan.
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code) limits the tax deductibility by a publicly held corporation of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executives, unless that compensation is performance-based compensation as defined by the Code. In
establishing the total compensation for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers the effect of Section 162(m), but also desires to retain flexibility and discretion to make compensation awards, whether or not deductible, in order to
foster achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee and other corporate goals that are important to our success.
Payouts of annual
cash-based incentives under the 2014 ICP are paid based on achievement of performance measures under the stockholder-approved 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan. For purposes of deductibility under Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee
established (a) minimum performance criteria required for the payment of any award to the NEOs as positive net income (as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K) for the performance period and (b) the maximum annual incentive award for
each of the NEOs as follows: Mr. Goff -- $5.0 million, Parrish -- $1.5 million, and each of Messrs. Spendlove and Mr. Casey -- $1.0 million (each was serving as a Senior Vice President at that time). Based on our 2014 net income of
$888 million, criteria for the maximum possible award for each NEO was satisfied. The Compensation Committee then exercised its negative discretion in determining the amount of the actual 2014 ICP payouts based on our performance measures, business
unit performance measures and individual performance as described under Elements of Executive Compensation Annual Performance Incentives of this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The actual 2014 ICP payouts are presented in
the 2014 Summary Compensation Table.
Clawback Policy
In February 2010, we adopted a compensation recoupment, or
clawback policy that provides that in the event of a material restatement of financial results due to misconduct, our Board will review all annual incentive payments and long-term incentive compensation awards that were made to any then
existing senior vice president or above including our controller on the basis of having met or exceeded specific performance targets in grants or awards made after February 2, 2010 which occur during the 24-month period prior to restatement. If
such compensation would have been lower had it been calculated based on such restated results, the Board will, to the extent permitted by governing law, seek to recoup for our benefit such compensation to any then existing senior vice president or
above including our company controller whose misconduct caused or significantly contributed to the material restatement, as determined by the Board.
Compensation Committee Report
Our Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based
on such review and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.
The
undersigned members of the Compensation Committee have submitted this Report to the Board of Directors as of February 20, 2015.

These columns show the range of awards under our 2014 Annual Incentive Compensation Program, or ICP, which is described in the section Annual Performance Incentives in the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis. The threshold column represents the minimum payout for the performance metrics under the ICP assuming that the minimum level of performance is attained. The target column represents the amount payable if the target
performance metrics are reached. The maximum column represents the maximum payout for the performance metrics under the ICP assuming that the maximum level of performance is attained. |
(b) |
The amounts shown in this column represents the number of shares of restricted stock granted during 2014 under the 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan. |

(a) |
Due to a freeze of credited service as of December 31, 2010, credited service values for the Tesoro Corporation Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan are less than actual service
values. Credited service is used to calculate the Final Average Pay portion of the Tesoro Corporation Retirement Plan benefit pertaining to Messrs. Goff, Spendlove and Parrish. The Cash Balance portion of the Tesoro Corporation Retirement Plan
and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, that went into effect on January 1, 2011, does not utilize credited service. Therefore since Messrs. Sterin and Casey and Ms. Warner were hired after January 1, 2011, years of
credited service is not applicable. |
(b) |
The present values of the accumulated plan benefits are equal to the value of the retirement benefits at the earliest unreduced age for each plan utilizing the same assumptions used as of December 31, 2014 for
financial reporting purposes. These assumptions include a discount rate of 4.05%, a cash balance interest crediting rate of 3.05%, the use of the RP-2014 Mortality Table with generational mortality improvements in accordance with Scale MP-2014
and for the Tesoro Corporation Retirement Plan, that each employee will elect a lump sum payment at retirement using an interest rate of 4.05% and the PPA 2015 Mortality Table. |

|
|
Tesoro Corporation Retirement Plan (the Retirement Plan) |
Short
Description |
|
A tax-qualified pension
plan with a monthly retirement benefit made up of two components:
a Final Average Pay (FAP) benefit for service through December 31, 2010, and
a Cash Balance account
based benefit for service after December 31, 2010 The final benefit payable under the Retirement
Plan is equal to the value of the sum of both the FAP and the Cash Balance components on the participants benefit commencement date. |
|
|
FAP Benefit
(through
12/31/2010) |
|
1.1% of final
average compensation for each year of service through December 31, 2010, plus 0.5% of average compensation in excess of the Social Security Covered Compensation limit for each year of service through December 31, 2010 up to 35 years
Final average
compensation is the monthly average of compensation (including base pay plus bonus but limited to the maximum compensation and benefit limits allowable for qualified plans under the Internal Revenue Code) over the consecutive 36-month period in the
last 120 months preceding retirement that produces the highest average. |
|
|
Cash Balance
Benefit (after
12/31/2010) |
|
For service after
2010, participants earn pay and interest credits: ¡ Pay credits are determined based on a percentage of eligible pay
at the end of each quarter ranging from 4.5% to 8.5% of pay based on a participants age at the end of each quarter
¡
Interest is credited quarterly on account balances based on a minimum of 3%, the 10-Year Treasury Bonds or the 30-Year Treasury Bonds, whichever is higher |
|
|
Timing of
Benefit
Payments |
|
Generally payable
the first day of the month following the attainment of age 65 and the completion of at least 3 years of service
Early Retirement:
¡
If a participant qualifies for early retirement (age 50 with service plus age greater than or equal to 80, which is referred to as 80-point early retirement, or age 55 with 5 years of
service, which is referred to as regular early retirement), the FAP benefit component will be reduced by a subsidized early retirement factor prior to age 65. Under the 80-point early retirement definition, the FAP benefit component may
be paid at age 60 without reduction or earlier than age 60 with a reduction of 5% per year for each year the age at retirement is less than 60. Under the regular early retirement definition, the FAP benefit component may be paid at age 62 without
reduction or earlier than age 62 with a reduction of approximately 7.14% per year for each year prior to age 62. If an employee does not qualify for early retirement upon separation from service, they will be eligible for an actuarially equivalent
FAP benefit based on their age at the date the benefit is paid without an early retirement subsidy.
¡
The Cash Balance benefit component for service after 2010 is always based on the actual balance of the cash balance account as of the payment date and is not subject to any reduction for payment prior
to normal retirement.
As of the end of fiscal 2014,
¡ Mr. Parrish meets the regular early retirement criteria
¡ Messrs. Goff and Spendlove are eligible to receive a payment under the Retirement Plan without an
early retirement subsidy for the FAP portion of the benefit
¡
Messrs. Sterin and Casey and Ms. Warner are not yet vested under the Retirement Plan |

compensation in the ESP is the highest three years of compensation out of the last seven calendar years that produces the highest average. Compensation includes base pay plus bonus (counted in the year earned not paid).
Gross monthly
retirement benefit is equal to: ¡ 4% of final average compensation for each of the first 10
years of service, plus ¡ 2% of final average compensation for each of the next 10 years of service, plus
¡ 1% of final average compensation for each of the last 10 years of service,
¡ for a maximum gross monthly retirement benefit of 70% of final average compensation for up
to 30 years of service
Gross monthly retirement benefit is reduced by any benefits paid from the qualified
Retirement Plan, and, after age 62, estimated Social Security benefits. |
|
|
Vesting and
Timing of
Benefit
Payments |
|
To qualify, a
participant must separate from the company after attaining age 50 with 80 points or age 55 and with at least 5 years of service
Payment:

Death and
Disability
Benefits |
|
The ESP
provides for certain death and disability benefits. The death benefits in the ESP are equal to the greater of (1) the executives ESP benefit determined at date of death, (2) the actuarial equivalent of 400% of the executives base
pay, prior to the date of death, or (3) the benefit determined as if the executive had remained an active employee through age 65 and was paid a benefit at age 65. Assuming that the following executives died on December 31, 2014, their monthly
payment under the ESP, payable for the life of the beneficiary, would be the following, offset by the estimated Social Security benefit.
If the executive becomes disabled, the executive is entitled to the monthly retirement
benefit for which he is eligible at his normal retirement date, but based upon the service the participant would have accrued had he remained in active employment until his retirement date and continued at the same rate of earnings until that date.
Assuming that the following executives became disabled on December 31, 2014, their monthly payments under the ESP are payable on the first day of the month following the date on which the executive has attained both age 65 and has a minimum of
five years of service. |

Tesoro Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (EDCP) |
Short
Description |
|
Provides executives and key management personnel (including our NEOs) the
opportunity to make additional pre-tax deferrals that cannot be made under our qualified 401(k) plan (Thrift Plan), due to salary and limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. |
Participant
Contributions |
|
Participants may elect to defer up to 50%
of their base salary and/or up to 100% of their annual bonus compensation after FICA tax deductions. |
Company
Contributions |
|
We
will match the participants base salary contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 4% of eligible earnings above the IRS salary limitation (i.e., $260,000 for 2014). Effective January 1, 2015, this match will be increased from 4% to 6%.
Participants that are eligible for supplemental retirement benefits
under the ESP are eligible to defer compensation under the EDCP, but are not eligible for the matching provisions of the EDCP. |
Vesting |
|
A participant will vest in our matching
contributions upon the completion of three years of service. |
2014 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

effective and efficient service, the Audit Committee considers a number of factors including, but not limited to:

EYs historical and recent performance on the Tesoro audit, including the results of an internal survey regarding the quality and efficiency of the services provided by EY; |
|
|
|
EYs capabilities, technical expertise, and knowledge of our operations and industry; |

|
|
An analysis of EYs known legal risks and significant proceedings; |
|
|
|
External data relating to audit quality and performance, including recent PCAOB reports on EY and its peer firms; |
|
|

The appropriateness of EYs fees; |

Audit-Related Fees represent the aggregate fees for professional services rendered by EY in connection with its audits and related services performed in connection with business dispositions, special reports, and
accounting consultations. Audit-related fees of $20,000 in 2014 and $479,000 in 2013 were subject to reimbursement by a third party. |
(3) |
Tax Fees represent the aggregate fees for tax services rendered by EY for matters such as consultation on income, sales, use and excise tax matters. |
(4) |
All Other Fees represent the aggregate fees billed by EY for information technology advisory services and a subscription to its web-based accounting and auditing research tool. |
In accordance with the Audit Committee charter, all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by EY in 2013 and 2014 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committees pre-approval procedures provide for pre- approval of specifically described audit, audit-related and tax services by the Audit Committee on an annual basis as long as the Audit Committee is informed of each service and the
services do not exceed certain pre-established thresholds. The procedures also authorize the Audit Committee to delegate to the Chairman of the Audit Committee pre-approval authorization with respect to audit and permitted non-audit services; any
such services that are approved by the Audit Committee Chairman must be ratified at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has determined that the relatively small amount of non-audit services rendered by EY
(compared to both the overall amount of services rendered by EY to the Company and by EY to all of its customers) are compatible with maintaining EYs independence.

Relationship with TLLP and QEPM |
We own (directly and through our affiliates) approximately 36.5% of the interests in Tesoro Logistics, LP (TLLP), including a 2% general partner interest
held by our wholly owned indirect subsidiary Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC (the general partner or TLGP). The general partner manages TLLPs operations and activities through its officers and directors. Messrs. Goff, Casey,
Parrish and Sterin serve (and prior to his separation from Tesoro Corporation and TLGP effective August 31, 2014, Mr. Spendlove served) as executive officers of both Tesoro Corporation and TLGP.
TLLP owns (through wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries) approximately 57.8% of the interests in QEP Midstream Partners, LP (QEPM), including a 2%
general partner interest. QEP Midstream Partners GP, LLC (QEPM GP), as the general partner, manages QEPMs operations and activities through its officers and directors. Since TLLPs acquisition of the interests in QEPM and the
general partner on December 2, 2014, Messrs. Goff, Casey, Sterin and Parrish have served as executive officers of both Tesoro Corporation and QEPM.
Distributions, Additional Equity Investment and Penalty Reimbursement
TLLP makes cash distributions to its unitholders, including to us as the direct and indirect holder of an aggregate 28,181,748 common units, as well as a 2% general
partner interest. If distributions exceed the minimum quarterly distribution and other higher target distribution levels, the general partner is entitled to increasing percentages of the distributions, up to 50% of the distributions above the
highest target distribution level. During 2014, TLLP distributed approximately $52 million to us with respect to common and subordinated units and approximately $35 million with respect to the general partner interest (including incentive
distribution rights).
In October 2014, we invested an additional $500 million in TLLPs common units as part of its equity offering to finance the acquisition
of QEP Field Services, LLC (QEPFS). We received 8,700,191 common units at the public offering price.
In September 2014, we paid $7.7 million to TLLP
for premiums incurred by TLLP as a result of the early redemption of $130 million of its 5.875% senior notes due 2020. We determined that this payment was preferable to the other potential payments that would be required if TLLP had paid a similar
amount outstanding under its revolving credit facility, which borrowings were used to finance the West Coast Logistics Asset Acquisition.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 55
Since we acquired QEPM in December 2014, we did not receive any distributions from QEPM during 2014.
Purchase and Sale Transactions
On June 23, 2014, we entered into an agreement with TLLP
pursuant to which TLLP acquired certain terminalling and pipeline assets (the West Coast Logistics Assets) owned by us and two of our subsidiaries, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company LLC (TRMC) and Tesoro Alaska
Company LLC (the West Coast Logistics Assets Acquisition) in exchange for total consideration of $270 million, comprised of approximately $243 million in cash and the issuance of equity to us with a fair value of $27 million. The equity
was comprised of 370,843 common units and 8,856 general partner units. We effected such acquisition effective July 1, 2014 with respect to a truck terminal and storage tanks, located in Nikiski, Alaska; a truck terminal, rail loading and
unloading facility, and storage tanks, all located at our refinery in Anacortes, Washington; and a truck terminal and rail loading and unloading facility, all located at our refinery in Martinez, California. We completed the remaining portion of
such acquisition effective September 30, 2014 with respect to all of our membership interests in our wholly-owned subsidiary Tesoro Alaska Pipeline Company LLC, which owns an approximately 70 mile long common carrier refined products pipeline
connecting our Kenai refinery to Anchorage, Alaska.
Commercial and Other Agreements
We have entered into various long-term, fee-based commercial
agreements with TLLP under which TLLP provides various pipeline transportation, trucking, terminal distribution and storage services to us, and we commit to provide TLLP with minimum monthly throughput volumes of crude oil and refined products.
Except for our trucking transportation services agreements, the commercial agreements generally have ten year initial terms. We believe the terms and conditions under these agreements, as well as our other agreements with TLLP described below, are
generally no less favorable to either party than those that could have been negotiated with unaffiliated parties with respect to similar services. Descriptions of the services TLLP provides us under these commercial agreements and the approximate
costs owed to TLLP under these categories of agreements in 2014 are as follows:
|
|
|
High Plains Pipeline Gathering and Trucking ($105 million) a pipeline transportation services agreement for the gathering and transporting and crude oil on TLLPs High Plains system, as well as a crude oil
trucking transportation services agreement for trucking related services and storage at the Bakken Area Storage Hub; |
|
|
|
Terminalling Use, Services and Throughput ($276 million) agreements for berth access, terminal use and services, storage and throughput at TLLPs marine terminals, storage and marketing terminals and similar
facilities, including the Martinez Terminaling Agreement, the Nikiski Terminaling Agreement and the Anacortes Terminaling Agreement for terminalling and storage services at the terminals acquired in the West Coast Logistics Assets Acquisition; and
the Anacortes Storage Service Agreement for storage services with respect to the tanks at the Anacortes facility acquired in the West Coast Logistics Assets Acquisition; |
|
|
|
Pipeline Transportation Services ($61 million) pipeline transportation services agreements for transporting crude oil, refined products and other commodities on TLLPs short-haul pipeline systems in Salt
Lake City and Los Angeles, as well as TLLPs pipeline system in the Los Angeles area and a regulated common carrier refined products pipeline system connecting our Kenai refinery to Anchorage, included in the West Coast Logistics Assets
Acquisition; |
|
|
|
Anacortes Rail Facility ($25 million) a track use and throughput agreement in which we pay TLLP fees for transporting and offloading crude oil through TLLPs Anacortes, Washington rail unloading facility;
|
|
|
|
Carson Coke Lease and Handling ($4 million) agreements for TRMC to lease the land on which the petroleum coke handling and storage facility resides and for TLLP to provide us operational services related to the
operation of such facility; and |
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 56
|
|
|
Keep-whole Commodity Agreement ($7 million) agreement between Tesoro and QEPFS and certain of its subsidiaries where the producers transfer title to the natural gas liquids produced during gas processing, and the
processors, in exchange, delivers to the Producer natural gas with a BTU content equivalent to the natural gas liquids removed. The operating margin for these agreements is determined by the spread between the natural gas liquids sales prices and
the price paid to purchase the replacement natural gas. We entered into a five-year agreement with TLLP, which transfers the commodity risk exposure associated with these keep-whole processing agreements from TLLP to us. Under these agreements,
we pay TLLP a fee to process the natural gas liquids related to keep-whole agreements and deliver the replacement natural gas to the producers on behalf of TLLP. TLLP pays us a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. Terms and
pricing under this agreement are revised each year. The keep-whole Commodity Agreement minimizes the impact for TLLP of commodity price movement during the annual period subsequent to renegotiation of terms and pricing each year. However, the annual
fee TLLP charges us could be impacted as a result of any changes in the spread between the natural gas liquids sales prices and the price of natural gas. |
Omnibus Agreement
We are party to an
Omnibus Agreement (the Omnibus Agreement) with TLLP, TLGP, and various of our subsidiaries that addresses, among other things, the following matters:
|
|
|
TLLPs obligation to pay us an annual corporate services fee, currently in the amount of $6 million, for the provision by us of certain centralized corporate services, as well as its obligation to reimburse us for
all other direct or allocated costs and expenses incurred by us or our affiliates on TLLPs behalf; |
|
|
|
an agreement from us and our subsidiaries TRMC and Tesoro Alaska Company not to compete with TLLP under certain circumstances; |
|
|
|
TLLPs right of first offer to acquire certain logistics assets from us, and our subsidiaries TRMC and Tesoro Alaska Company LLC; |
|
|
|
the indemnification obligations of the parties for certain claims, losses and expenses attributable to certain environmental, title, tax and other liabilities relating to assets contributed by us and our subsidiaries to
TLLP; and |
|
|
|
the granting of a license from us to TLLP with respect to use of the Tesoro name and trademark. |
So long as we control
TLGP, the Omnibus Agreement will remain in full force and effect unless mutually terminated by the parties. We charged TLLP approximately $104 million pursuant to this agreement in 2014.
In addition, we reimburse TLLP for certain costs identified in the Omnibus Agreement related to assets included in acquisitions from us. TLLP charged us $48 million to
reimburse these costs during 2014 pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement.
Secondment and Logistics Services Agreement
Our subsidiaries are party to a Secondment Agreement among TLGP, our subsidiaries, Tesoro Alaska Company LLC, TRMC and Tesoro Companies, Inc. (Tesoro Alaska Company
LLC, TRMC and Tesoro Companies, Inc. collectively the Tesoro Group) under which the Tesoro Group provides TLLP with certain operational services, such as communications, electricity, software services, security, fire and safety,
maintenance and certain environmental services. TLLP and its subsidiaries pay the Tesoro Group an annual service fee for services performed by certain of the Tesoro Groups field-level employees. Additionally, employees of TLGP may be seconded
to Tesoro to provide operational and maintenance services related to certain assets, for which Tesoro reimburses TLGP for the associated costs. We charged TLLP approximately $4 million pursuant to this agreement during 2014 and TLLP charged us
approximately $1 million.
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 57
Operational Services Agreement
Our subsidiaries were party to an Operational Services Agreement (the Operational Services Agreement) among TLGP, TLLPs subsidiaries and the Tesoro
Group under which the Tesoro Group provided TLLP pipelines, terminals and storage facilities with certain operational services, such as communications, electricity, software services, security, fire and safety, maintenance and certain environmental
services. In addition, TLLP and its subsidiaries paid the Tesoro Group an annual service fee for services performed by certain of the Tesoro Groups field-level employees. We charged TLLP and its subsidiaries approximately $3 million pursuant
to this agreement during 2014. On July 1, 2014, the Operational Services Agreement was terminated and replaced by the Secondment Agreement.
Agreement for Construction of Anacortes Truck Rack
TLLP is constructing a new gasoline and diesel truck rack at the site the
Anacortes terminal it acquired as part of the West Coast Logistics Assets Acquisition. TLLP has contracted with TRMC to act as general contractor for the project for a total price of $23 million. TLLP paid us approximately $1 million pursuant to
this agreement and accrued $17 million during 2014 based on progress to date.
First Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement of QEP
Midstream
QEPM amended and restated its omnibus agreement upon closing of the Rockies Natural Gas Business Acquisition on December 2, 2014
(QEPM Omnibus Agreement) to transfer all previous rights and obligations to TLLP and TLGP, as outlined in the QEPM Omnibus Agreement. Under the QEPM Omnibus Agreement, TLGP, together with TLLP, provides services to QEPM. Pursuant to the
agreement, during December 2014, TLGP charged QEPM $1.1 million of which approximately $0.9 million was owed to TLLP.

provided to us and any written representations, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2014, our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our voting stock filed the required reports on a timely basis under
Section 16(a) except as follows: an initial Form 3 timely filed for Brad M. Lakhia, our Vice President and Treasurer, on August 5, 2014 inadvertently underreported by less than 3,000 shares the number of shares Mr. Lakhia owned
pursuant to a restricted stock grant as a result of an administrative error, and the error was corrected with an amended Form 3 filing on February 13, 2015.

Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 63
Proposal No. 1 Election of Directors
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders are requested to elect
nine directors to hold office until the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. Each of the nominees has indicated his or her willingness to serve as a director, if elected, and we have no reason to
believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. The persons designated as proxies, however, reserve full discretion to cast votes for other persons in the event that any one or more of the nominees are unable to serve. Each of the director
nominees is currently serving as a director after being elected at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
We have adopted a majority voting standard in
uncontested director elections. Our Bylaws prescribe the voting standard for director elections as a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, such as this one, where the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be
elected. Under this standard, a nominee must receive more FOR votes than AGAINST votes in order to be elected as a director. In a contested election, where the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected
(which is not the case at the Annual Meeting), the directors will be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast on the election of directors. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each nominee who already serves as a director submits
an advance, contingent, irrevocable resignation that the Board may accept if stockholders do not re-elect the director. In that situation, the Governance Committee will promptly consider the resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board.
The Board will then act on the Governance Committees recommendation and will publicly disclose its decision regarding whether to accept the directors resignation offer, or, if applicable, the reason(s) for rejecting the resignation
offer, within 90 days from the date of the certification of the stockholder vote.

Proposal No. 2 Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
At our 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders voted on, among other matters, a proposal regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on
the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay Votes). More than a majority of the votes cast on the frequency proposal were cast in favor of holding an annual Say-on-Pay Vote, as was recommended by the Board of Directors.
In light of this result and other factors, the Board determined that it currently intends for us to hold annual Say-on-Pay Votes until the next advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay Votes occurs no later than our 2017 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.
At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders also provided an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive
officers disclosed in our 2014 proxy statement. Stockholders expressed substantial support for the compensation of our named executive officers, with approximately 94% of the votes cast voting in favor of the proposal. In accordance with
Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are now asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary
Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative in this 2015 Proxy Statement. As described above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee has structured our executive compensation programs
to achieve the following key objectives:
|
|
|
Reward leaders for delivery of outstanding business results and driving a performance-oriented culture; |
|
|
|
Promote and sustain exceptional performance over time to generate long-term growth in stockholder value; and |
|
|
|
Lead in accordance with our guiding principles, which are core values, exceptional people, shared purpose, powerful collaboration and superior execution. |
Tesoro
Corporation 2015 Proxy Statement 70
Our named executive officer compensation decisions in 2014 reflect these objectives. For example, we directly aligned our
annual and long-term incentive compensation programs with our strategic priorities by featuring specific performance measures that support strengthening our financial position and capturing value-driven growth, as targeted in our multi-year business
plan. Our operating performance and the Compensation Committees decisions regarding special items provided each of our NEOs between 188% and 195% of target (except for Mr. Spendlove who received a pro-rated portion of his award pursuant
to the terms of our annual incentive program). We achieved between target and maximum (or above maximum) performance levels for all performance metrics, including EBITDA, personal safety, process safety management, environmental, cost management and
business improvement criteria. In addition, certain adjustments were made to incentive awards for select NEOs to recognize individual performance.
In addition, we
made our annual grants of long-term incentive awards to our named executive officers in February 2014. These grants focused solely on performance awards and no service-based restricted stock or stock options were included in the annual grants. We
also made incentive sign-on awards, composed of restricted stock and performance awards, to newly hired executives. The Compensation Committee believes the actions described above clearly demonstrate our commitment to implementing and executing
results-oriented compensation programs that are market-competitive and reflect good corporate governance practices.
We urge stockholders to read the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 18 of this Proxy Statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation programs operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table
and other related compensation tables and narrative, appearing beginning on page 38, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that the
programs articulated in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executive officers reported in this Proxy Statement will contribute to our long-term success.
This advisory Say-on-Pay Vote is non-binding on the Board of Directors. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the
voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation programs.
|

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote
FOR the approval of the compensation paid to our named executive officers disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation
tables, notes and narrative in this Proxy Statement. |
Proposal No. 3
Ratification of the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2015. See Audit-Related Matters Auditor Fees and Services for additional detail regarding the process used for this selection. Although stockholder ratification is not required, the Board has directed that such appointment be
submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP. Even if
the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our
stockholders. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
