ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Tesoro Petroleum Corporation ("Tesoro" or "the Company") is providing
certain supplemental financial and operational data through the Company's
website beginning on November 26, 2001. The Company's website is located at
www.tesoropetroleum.com. This website data is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The
foregoing is qualified by reference to the Press Release which is filed as
Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.
The information provided may contain forward-looking statements and
certain assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are in part
based. This information should be read in conjunction with Tesoro's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as with other
publicly-disclosed information, such as media releases and conference calls. The
Company expects that updates to this information will be made through its
periodic reports filed with the SEC and public releases; however, the Company
undertakes no obligation to update any information contained on the website.
Numerous important factors, including those factors identified as Risk
Factors and Investment Considerations and Forward-Looking Statements in Tesoro's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other of the
Company's filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, and the fact that the
assumptions set forth in the website data could prove incorrect, could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking
statements.
