Frequently Asked Questions

The specific financial results for Valero's third quarter of 2011 are detailed in the press release dated November 1, 2011, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this 8-K filing.

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, it means it is being provided to the SEC for public disclosure but is not legally considered part of the company's 'filed' documents like registration statements, unless specifically incorporated. This distinction affects legal liability and how the information is integrated into other filings.

This 8-K filing itself does not contain a breakdown of operational segments or geographic performance. Such details would typically be found within the press release (Exhibit 99.01) or in subsequent SEC filings like the Form 10-Q.
