Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the Spin-off (as defined below), Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“MPC”, or “we” or “us”) entered into an Employee Matters Agreement (the “EMA”) with Marathon Oil Corporation (“MRO”). We previously filed a copy of the EMA with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2011 as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form 10 relating to the Spin-off. On June 30, 2011, an amendment to the EMA (the “EMA Amendment”) was entered into for the primary purposes of (i) ensuring that Canadian employees will not experience adverse tax consequences as a result of equity conversions, (ii) making conforming changes to reflect a registration statement to be filed by us, and (iii) allowing for a possible variance by a third party service provider from the methodology for equity adjustments in the EMA. A copy of the EMA Amendment is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.

To provide us with additional liquidity following the Spin-off, we entered into a four-year revolving credit agreement dated as of March 11, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. We previously filed a copy of the Credit Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2011 as an exhibit to a registration statement on Form 10 relating to the Spin-off. On June 30, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”). The Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, amends the Credit Agreement in order to permit certain additional types of intercompany indebtedness and to ensure that certain securitization transactions are permitted under the restrictive covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. A copy of the Credit Agreement Amendment is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this report.

 

Item 8.01 Other Items.

On June 30, 2011, MRO completed its spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of MPC through the distribution of shares of our common stock to holders of outstanding shares of MRO’s common stock. Our businesses primarily consist of those that previously comprised of MRO’s refining, marketing and transportation operations. In connection with the Spin-off, MRO stockholders received 100% (approximately 356 million shares) of our outstanding common stock. We are now an independent public company and our common stock trades under the symbol “MPC” on the New York Stock Exchange.

A registration statement on Form 10 relating to the Spin-off was filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was declared effective on June 6, 2011.

(ii) Canadian Employees . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 13.2 (including, for greater certainty, Section 13.2(d)(i)), respecting the conversion or adjustment of each MRO Unvested Option into a Remaining MRO Unvested Option or an MPC Unvested Option, as applicable, if MRO Unvested Options are held by a Person who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ ITA ”), is a resident of Canada or who was granted such MRO Unvested Options in respect of, in the course of, or by virtue of employment in Canada, the conversion or adjustment of that Person’s MRO Unvested Options shall be effected with such modifications as may be required such that: (A) any action under Section 13.2(b) which is called for at or as of the Effective Time shall be taken or completed at the time that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the Effective Time (in this Section 13.2(d)(ii), the applicable time for the actions under Section 13.2 is the “ Adjustment Time ”), (B) if the Canadian Pre-Distribution Spread respecting such Person’s MRO Unvested Options is nil or positive, the Post-Distribution Spread of such Person’s Remaining MRO Unvested Options or MPC Unvested Options, as applicable, shall be equal to or less than such Canadian Pre-Distribution Spread, and


(C) if the Canadian Pre-Distribution Spread respecting such Person’s MRO Unvested Options is negative, the Post-Distribution Spread of such Person’s Remaining MRO Unvested Options or MPC Unvested Options, as applicable, shall be less than nil. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, it is the intention that subsection 7(1.4) of the ITA shall apply to the adjustments and conversions contemplated in this Section 13.2(d)(ii).

Limited (England) shall be converted as provided in Section 13.2(a) or 13.2(d)(ii), as applicable, rather than as provided in this Section 13.3, and any MRO Vested Option that is held by an MPC Employee to whom MRO common stock registered on Form S-8 cannot be issued shall be converted as provided in Section 13.2(b), rather than as provided in this Section 13.3.

(ii) Canadian Employees . Notwithstanding the express provisions of this Section 13.3, except for Section 13.3(b), respecting the adjustment of each MRO Vested Option into a Remaining MRO Vested Option and an MPC Vested Option, as applicable, if MRO Vested Options are held by a Person who, for the purposes of the ITA, is a resident of Canada or who was granted such MRO Vested Options in respect of, in the course of, or by virtue of employment in Canada, the adjustment shall be effected with such modifications as may be required such that: (A) any action under this Section 13.3 which is called for at or as of the Effective Time shall be taken or completed at the Adjustment Time, (B) a proportionate number of that Person’s MRO Vested Options shall be adjusted to become Remaining MRO Vested Options and a proportionate number of that Person’s MRO Vested Options shall be adjusted to become MPC Vested Options, (C) if the Canadian Pre-Distribution Spread respecting such Person’s MRO Vested Options is nil or positive, the Post-Distribution Spread of such Person’s Remaining MRO Vested Options and MPC Vested Options shall be equal to or less than such Canadian Pre-Distribution Spread, and (D) if the Canadian Pre-Distribution Spread respecting such Person’s MRO Vested Options is negative, the Post-Distribution Spread of such Person’s Remaining MRO Vested Options and MPC Vested Options shall be less than nil. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, it is the intention that subsection 7(1.4) of the ITA shall apply to the adjustments contemplated in this Section 13.3(c)(ii).

Any changes made under (i), (ii), or (iii) will be deemed to be effective from and after the Adjustment Time.

5. A new Section 13.6(d) is added, as follows:

(d) Special Rule for Canadian RSU Holders . Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 13.6, if MRO RSUs are held by a Person who, for the purposes of the ITA, is a resident of Canada or who was granted such MRO RSUs in respect of, in the course of, or by virtue of employment in Canada, the conversion or adjustment of that Person’s MRO RSUs shall be effected such that: (A) any action under Section 13.6(b) which is called for at or as of the Effective Time shall be taken or completed at the Adjustment Time, (B) the Post-Distribution Value of such Person’s MRO RSUs as adjusted under Section 13.6(a) or such Person’s MPC RSUs, as applicable, shall be equal to or less than the Pre-Distribution Value of such Person’s MRO RSUs determined immediately before the Adjustment Time. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, it is the intention that the adjustments contemplated in this Section 13.6 be completed on a tax-neutral basis under the provisions of the ITA. Accordingly, if at any time hereafter, for the purposes of the ITA (or any corresponding provincial income tax legislation) and determining the income tax consequences, if any, of the actions taken pursuant to this Section 13.6(c), it is finally determined, whether by a tribunal or a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise that (A) the total value of the shares of common stock which may be acquired pursuant to a Person’s MRO RSUs (as adjusted under this Section 13.6) or MPC RSUs, as determined immediately after the Adjustment Time, exceeds (B) the total value of the shares of common stock that could be acquired under that Person’s


MRO RSUs, as determined immediately before the Adjustment Time, then the results of the adjustment undertaken pursuant to this Section 13.6 shall be altered in order to ensure that the excess is reduced to nil by changing the number of shares of common stock subject to the MRO RSUs (as adjusted under this Section 13.6) or MPC RSUs, as applicable. Any such change will be deemed to be effective from and after the Adjustment Time.
