5 terms

Acting CEO financial

"appointed Mr. Franklin Myers, age 73, as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company on a temporary basis, effective as of February 17, 2026 (“Acting CEO”)."

restricted stock units financial

"a one-time grant of restricted stock units, the grant date value of which shall equal approximately $105,000 (the “Initial RSU Grant”)"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Long Term Incentive Plan financial

"The RSU Grants will be governed by the HF Sinclair Corporation Amended and Restated 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan"

A long term incentive plan is a company program that awards executives and key employees bonuses—often in stock, options, or cash—only if the business meets multi-year performance goals. It links management pay to company results—like tying a coach’s bonus to a team’s multi-season record—so investors monitor it for how leaders are motivated, potential share dilution, and signals about the company’s long-term priorities.

Compensation Committee financial

"the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company recommended, and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved, the following compensation arrangements"

A compensation committee is a group within a company's leadership responsible for setting and reviewing how much top executives and employees are paid, including salaries, bonuses, and benefits. It matters to investors because fair and effective pay decisions can influence a company's performance, leadership motivation, and overall governance, helping ensure that the company’s management is aligned with shareholders’ interests.

employee benefit plans and programs financial

"Mr. Myers is also entitled to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs."
