pipeline and allocate increasing free cash flow to the highest and
best return investments, prioritizing share repurchase given our
view of the future potential of Murphy USA.”
The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be
determined by the Company’s management based on its evaluation of
market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be conducted
through open market transactions, privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to accelerated share repurchase programs, or

at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in
