Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 12, 2010, a press release was issued by Tesoro Corporation (the “Company”) stating that it will temporarily curtail operations at its Anacortes, Washington, refinery by shutting down crude processing until treating capacity involved in the recent incident can be returned to service. Unit shutdowns will begin later this month. Tesoro cannot predict when operations could resume; however, progress on the various investigations of the incident and the completion of unit repairs are both necessary for a restart. Other refineries as well as purchases from third parties will be utilized to meet supply needs.
The Company’s employees at the facility will continue to be employed and receive full benefits. The temporary reduction of the Anacortes refinery operations is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial performance.
The press release is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K. Accordingly, the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report, including the Press Release, will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
