(a) Amendment to Bylaws.

On December 23, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of HollyFrontier Corporation (the "Corporation") approved an amendment and restatement of the Corporation's amended and restated by-laws (the "By-Laws", and as further amended and restated, the "Amended By-Laws") effective as of such date. The By-Laws were amended and restated to implement the following:

Article II, Section 2 was amended to, among other things, implement proxy access. Pursuant to Article II, Section 2(d) of the Amended By-Laws, a shareholder, or a group of up to 20 shareholders, owning at least 3% of the Corporation's aggregate voting power of the voting stock continuously for at least three years may nominate and include in the Corporation's proxy materials director nominees constituting up to the greater of two individuals or 20% of the Board, provided that the shareholders and the nominees satisfy the requirements specified in the Amended By-Laws. Proxy access will first be available to shareholders in connection with the Corporation's 2022 annual meeting.

In connection with the adoption of the proxy access provisions described above, the By-Laws were also amended to update the advance notice and related by-law provisions concerning shareholder notices of business to be brought before meetings of shareholders, including covered proposals and nominations. These updates, among other things, address required supplements, disclosures and categories of information to be included in a compliant shareholder notice, including notices applicable to shareholder director nominees.
