Activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which has built a more-than-$2.5 billion stake in Phillips 66 and is pushing for a streamlining of the oil refiner, is seeking more representation on the company’s board.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Phillips 66 said it received a notice from Elliott that the investor plans to nominate candidates for election to the board at this year’s annual meeting.
