Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As described below in Item 5.07, at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) of HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier”), the stockholders approved HollyFrontier’s 2020 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”). The HollyFrontier Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the LTIP on February 12, 2020, subject to stockholder approval at the 2020 Annual Meeting.
As a result of the adoption of the LTIP, no further grants will be made under the HollyFrontier Corporation Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Current LTIP”). However, any outstanding awards under the Current LTIP will continue in accordance with the terms of the Current LTIP and any award agreement executed in connection with such outstanding awards. The Current LTIP will be terminated following the settlement of all outstanding awards granted thereunder.
The LTIP provides for the grant of unrestricted and restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock based awards, stock options, performance awards, substitute awards, cash awards and stock appreciation rights. Subject to adjustment for certain events, an aggregate of 6,019,255 shares of common stock may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the LTIP. The LTIP will automatically expire on February 12, 2030.

A more detailed description of the material terms of the LTIP is set forth in HollyFrontier’s definitive proxy statement relating to the 2020 Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”). The foregoing summary of certain terms of the LTIP is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the LTIP, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The matters submitted for a vote and the related results are set forth below. A more detailed description of each proposal is set forth in HollyFrontier’s Proxy Statement.
