ExxonMobil has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a preliminary proxy statement of XTO that also constitutes a prospectus of ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil and XTO also plan to file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed agreement. A definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of XTO. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF XTO ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND THE DEFINITIVE VERSION THEREOF WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Investors and stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents containing important information about ExxonMobil and XTO, once such documents are filed with the SEC, through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward-looking statements may concern, among other things, future plans, projections, events or conditions. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of ExxonMobil’s and XTO’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the timing to consummate the proposed merger; the possibility that the merger does not close, including, but not limited to, due to the failure to satisfy the closing conditions; the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed merger is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the possibility that the expected synergies from the proposed merger will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period; the failure of XTO’s stockholders to approve the merger; ExxonMobil’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate XTO’s businesses; and the diversion of management time on merger-related issues. Other factors could materially affect ExxonMobil’s and XTO’s actual results, including the timing and extent of changes in oil and gas prices, changes in underlying demand for oil and gas; the timing and results of drilling activity; delays in completing production; treatment and transportation facilities; higher than expected production costs and other expenses; pipeline curtailments by third-parties; general market conditions; and other factors discussed under the heading “Factors Affecting Future Results” on ExxonMobil’s website, in Item 1A of ExxonMobil’s 2009 Form 10-K and in Item 1A of XTO’s 2009 Form 10-K. No assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations or financial condition of ExxonMobil or XTO. Neither ExxonMobil nor XTO assumes any duty to update these statements as of any future date or revise any forward-looking statements. The information contained on XTO’s website and ExxonMobil’s website are not part of this communication.
