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 December 20, 2011, Mr. David Lilley 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 eight to nine. The Board determined that Mr. Lilley meets the independence requirements under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s independence standards and that there are no transactions between Mr. Lilley and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
 
Mr. Lilley 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, Mr. Lilley 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 December 20, 2011, or 4,038 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, the Board has not yet determined the committees to which Mr. Lilley is expected to be named.  The Press Release announcing Mr. Lilley’s election is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
