WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Elliott Investment Management L.P. ("Elliott"), which manages funds that together make it a top five shareholder in Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) (the "Company" or "Phillips"), today released the fourth episode of the Streamline 66 Podcast. The series features 1:1 conversations with Elliott's highly qualified director nominees ("Nominees" or "Nominee"), as well as industry experts.
The latest installment features Nominee Sigmund Cornelius, who served as CFO at the predecessor company of Phillips 66, ConocoPhillips, where he oversaw a substantial divestiture and simplification program that led to a material increase in shareholder value. Mr. Cornelius said:
- "I think [Phillips 66] has great assets that right now are locked up in an organization, a business that frankly the Street doesn't know how to evaluate. Is Phillips 66 a refining and marketing company? Or is it a midstream company? Or is it both? And by the way, we have this investment in CP Chem – what is the strategic rationale for that? So, great assets, they need to be liberated."
- "I was an advocate late in my career that we should look seriously at splitting [ConocoPhillips]. The market was telling us that the company valuation was such that these are really two different companies. You end up with a sub-allocation of capital. I think history has shown that it was the right decision."
- "[Phillips 66] is a company that has good people, has a rich history, and great assets that don't necessarily belong together. So, I'm excited for the opportunity [to join the Board]. I'm excited to bring my experience one more time to the game. And I think the opportunity here could not be clearer."
