Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Post-Spin-Off Agreements

On April 26, 2012, in connection with ConocoPhillips’ previously announced spin-off of Phillips 66 through a pro rata distribution to ConocoPhillips shareholders of all of the outstanding shares of Phillips 66 common stock (the “Distribution”), Phillips 66 entered into several agreements with ConocoPhillips that govern the relationship of the parties following the Distribution, including the following:

 

   

Separation and Distribution Agreement

 

   

Indemnification and Release Agreement

 

   

Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreement

 

   

Tax Sharing Agreement

 

   

Employee Matters Agreement

 

   

Transition Services Agreement

A summary of certain material features of the agreements can be found in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions — Agreements with ConocoPhillips” in the Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) included in Phillips 66’s Registration Statement on Form 10, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2011, as amended, and declared effective on April 12, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”), and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Indemnification and Release Agreement, Intellectual Property Assignment and License Agreement, Tax Sharing Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement and Transition Services Agreement, included with this report as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release issued by Phillips 66 on May 1, 2012 announcing that ConocoPhillips had completed its spin-off of Phillips 66 is included with this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Receivables Facility

On April 27, 2012, Phillips 66 and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a $1.2 billion accounts receivable securitization facility (the “A/R Facility”) to provide additional liquidity and funding for the ongoing business needs of Phillips 66 and its subsidiaries.

The documentation for the A/R Facility includes (i) a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among Phillips 66 Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 (the “Originator”), Phillips 66 Receivables Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Originator (“SPE”), Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent, structuring agent and a facility agent, certain other facility agents, and committed purchasers and conduit purchasers that are parties thereto from time to time (the “Purchasers”) and (ii) a Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “Receivables Sale Agreement”) by and between the Originator and the SPE (collectively, the “Agreements”).

Pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Originator has sold and contributed, and will continue to sell or contribute, its trade receivables, together with all related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to the SPE in exchange for a combination of cash, equity or a subordinated note issued by the SPE to the Originator. Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the SPE may, from time to time, in turn sell undivided interests in such trade receivables, together with all related security and interests in the proceeds thereof, to the Purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds. Collections on the trade receivables for which an undivided interest is sold to the Purchasers will be set aside and held in trust to satisfy the obligations of the SPE under the A/R Facility.

The Originator and the SPE provide customary representations and covenants under the Agreements. Receivables in the A/R Facility are subject to customary criteria, limits and reserves. The Receivables Purchase Agreement provides for certain Termination Events, as defined therein, upon the occurrence of which the Purchasers may terminate further purchases of undivided interests in the trade receivables and impose default fees. The SPE pays Yield (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) with respect to amounts advanced under the A/R Facility. The calculation of Yield will vary based on the funding alternatives chosen. In addition, the A/R Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit.

The amount of credit exposure of the Purchasers outstanding at any one time under the Receivables Purchase Agreement is limited to $1.2 billion. As of April 30, 2012, there were no trade receivable purchases or letters of credit outstanding under the A/R Facility.

The Originator serves as the servicer of the trade receivables under the A/R Facility. Neither the Originator nor the SPE guarantees collectability of the trade receivables or the creditworthiness of obligors thereunder. However, Phillips 66 has provided a guaranty of performance in respect of the obligations of the Originator as originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement and of the obligations of Originator as servicer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Copies of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and Receivables Sale Agreement are included with this report as Exhibits 10.6 and Exhibit 10.7, respectively. The foregoing description of the A/R Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC

On May 1, 2012, Phillips 66 and Chevron Corporation entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (“CPChem”) in order to facilitate the substitution of Phillips 66 Company as a member of CPChem in lieu of ConocoPhillips Company.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

In exchange for the shares of Phillips 66 Company common stock, Phillips 66 issued shares of its common stock to ConocoPhillips, assumed certain liabilities from ConocoPhillips and made a special cash distribution of approximately $5.95 billion to ConocoPhillips on April 30, 2012 (which may be adjusted based on actual levels of Phillips 66 cash, inventory and working capital as of April 30, 2012).
