On November 15, 2013, Garry L. Peiffer, Executive Vice President of Corporate Planning and Investor & Government Relations, notified Marathon Petroleum Corporation (the “Corporation”) he will retire effective January 1, 2014. In light of Mr. Peiffer’s nearly forty years of service to the Corporation and its predecessors and his significant contributions to the spinoff of the Corporation from Marathon Oil Corporation in 2011, the formation and initial public offering of MPLX LP in 2012 and other major business development, information technology and procurement projects, the Corporation took action to accelerate the vesting of his unvested restricted stock that would otherwise be forfeited upon his retirement and modify the terms of his outstanding performance unit awards to provide for his continued eligibility to receive payout of the awards through the completion of the measurement period.
