Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes
forward-looking statements as defined under the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact included or incorporated by reference in this communication, including, among other things, statements
regarding the expected resolution of the NOVs, the anticipated effect of the consent decree on our business and operations, our estimates regarding the costs of mitigation projects and the timing thereof, the scheduled completion of injunctive
requirements and the total cost associated with the injunctive relief as well as statements regarding the proposed business combination transaction between ConocoPhillips (ConocoPhillips) and Marathon Oil Corporation (Marathon
Oil), future events, plans and anticipated results of operations, business strategies, the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, the anticipated closing date for the proposed transaction and other aspects of Marathon Oils or
ConocoPhillips operations or operating results are forward-looking statements. Words and phrases such as ambition, anticipate, estimate, believe, budget, continue,
could, intend, may, plan, potential, predict, seek, should, will, would, expect, objective,
projection, forecast, goal, guidance, outlook, effort, target and other similar words can be used to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of
these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Where, in any forward-looking statement, Marathon Oil or ConocoPhillips expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good

forward-looking statements: ConocoPhillips ability to successfully integrate Marathon Oils businesses and technologies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; the risk that the
expected benefits and synergies of the proposed transaction may not be fully achieved in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that Marathon Oil or ConocoPhillips will be unable to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their
suppliers and customers; the risk associated with Marathon Oils ability to obtain the approval of its stockholders required to consummate the proposed transaction and the timing of the closing of the proposed transaction, including the risk
that the conditions to the transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all or the failure of the transaction to close for any other reason or to close on the anticipated
