Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     On May 12, 2011, at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”), the stockholders of Holly Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Holly Corporation Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “LTIP”), to be effective as of January 1, 2011, to extend the term of the LTIP, and the Company’s ability to grant equity compensation awards thereunder, until December 31, 2020. The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the LTIP amendment on March 24, 2011, subject to stockholder approval at the 2011 Annual Meeting.
     The LTIP is a broad-based plan under which the Company may grant awards to employees, directors and consultants, and the use of stock-based awards under the LTIP is a key element of the Company’s compensation program.
     The foregoing description of the LTIP amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment to the Holly Corporation Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
     The 2011 Annual Meeting was held on May 12, 2011. A total of 49,056,456 shares of the Company’s common stock were present or represented by proxy at the meeting, representing more than 91.94% of the Company’s shares outstanding as of the March 21, 2011 record date. The matters submitted for a vote and the related results are set forth below. A more detailed description of each proposal is set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2011 (the “Proxy Statement”).
