Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Holly Corporation (the “Company”) held on May 5, 2010 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders elected Buford P. Berry, Matthew P. Clifton, Leldon E. Echols, Robert G. McKenzie, Jack P. Reid, Paul T. Stoffel and Tommy A. Valenta as directors of the Company for the ensuing year. Marcus R. Hickerson and Thomas K. Matthews, II were not nominated for re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors and, therefore, no longer serve as directors following the election on May 5, 2010. Messrs. Hickerson and Matthews retired after 50 years of service and 32 years of service, respectively, on the Company’s board of directors. The Company appreciates their invaluable contributions.

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders elected each of the Company’s nominees for director to serve until the expiration of his term at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2011 and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal from office. The Company’s stockholders also ratified the Audit Committee’s appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to be the Company’s auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
