Item 8.01    Other Events.

On February 25, 2016, the board of directors (“Board”) of Valero Energy Corporation (“Valero”) amended Valero’s 2011 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) to implement a limitation on the amount of equity compensation that may be paid to Valero’s non-employee directors under the Plan. The limitation, recommended by the Board’s Compensation Committee and approved by the Board, is stated in Section 6.2(a)(v) of the Plan and provides that a non-employee director may not receive in any calendar year awards payable in shares of Valero’s common stock that have a fair market value greater than $500,000 in the aggregate. The amendment was not a “material revision” to the Plan for purposes of Section 303A.08 of the NYSE Listing Standards.
