Item 5.02
 
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
(d)  Election of Directors.
 

    Effective February 4, 2011, Ms. Susan Tomasky became a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tesoro Corporation (“the Company”) and concurrently the Board increased the number of directors from nine to ten effective immediately. The Board determined that Ms. Tomasky meets the independence requirements under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Registrant’s independence standards and that there are no transactions between Ms. Tomasky and the Registrant that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
 
    Ms. Tomasky will receive a pro-rated portion of the Company’s non-employee director compensation which provides for an annual retainer of $220,000, payable 50% in cash and 50% in phantom stock units (cash denominated units which track the Company’s stock price). In addition, Ms. Tomasky will receive a grant of phantom stock units with a grant date fair value of $90,000, with the number of such phantom stock units determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on February 4, 2011, or 4,329 units. Pursuant to the non-employee director compensation program, phantom stock units received as part of the annual retainer, or as an initial grant upon appointment as director, must be deferred for a minimum of three years before they may be distributed. At the time of this filing Ms. Tomasky is expected to be named to the Audit Committee and one other yet to be determined committee of the Board.  The Press Release announcing Ms. Tomasky’s election is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
