就在激进投资者埃利奥特投资管理公司 (Elliott Investment Management) 提名七名独立候选人进入公司董事会一天后，Phillips 66 (PSX) 对其进行了反击，并继续推动出售公司的中游资产。

埃利奥特管理的基金已向该公司投资了超过 25 亿美元。该公司 3 月 4 日表示，正在推动投资组合简化、运营审查和加强监督。

在 3 月 5 日致股东的一封信中，Phillips 66 董事长兼首席执行官马克·E·拉希尔 (Mark E. Lashier) 大力赞扬公司所取得的进步，并严厉批评埃利奥特“对某些业务部门的货币化提出了一系列攻击和提议，并首次“提出分离的想法”。

Phillips 66 (PSX) fired back at Elliott Investment Management a day after the activist investor proposed seven independent candidates for the company’s board as it continues to push for a sale of the company’s midstream assets.

Elliott, which manages funds that have invested more than $2.5 billion in the company, said March 4 it was pushing for portfolio simplification, an operating review and enhanced oversight.

In a March 5 letter to shareholders, Mark E. Lashier, Phillips 66 chairman and CEO, touted improvements the company has made and blasted Elliott for a “series of attacks and proposals regarding monetization of certain business units and, for the first time … floating the idea of a separation.”
