Valero Energy’s board increased to 11 members after electing Matthew Audette as a director on September 17, 2026, according to the company’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing identifies Valero Energy Corporation as the registrant and lists its common stock under the NYSE ticker VLO.
Board and compensation changes
Audette’s initial term began immediately and is scheduled to run until Valero’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. The board also appointed him to its Audit Committee, effective immediately, and said he is expected to stand for re-election at that meeting, the SEC filing said.
The filing also disclosed a $10,000 increase beginning in 2027 to both the annual cash retainer and equity grant components of Valero’s non-employee director compensation program. Audette received a pro-rata grant of 372 stock units and is entitled to a pro-rata annual cash retainer of $101,667.
