ExxonMobil is engaged in all aspects of the worldwide oil and natural gas business - exploration, production, manufacturing, distribution, and marketing. ExxonMobil is also a leading producer and marketer of petrochemicals and has interests in electric power generation, coal, and minerals.

Exxon Mobil Corporation has numerous affiliates, many with names that include Exxon, ExxonMobil, Esso, and Mobil. For convenience in this report, those terms as well as the terms corporation, company, we, our, and its are sometimes used as abbreviated references to specific affiliates or affiliate groups. We also sometimes use terms such as venture, joint venture, partnership and partner in their ordinary senses to indicate business relationships involving common activities and interest, and those words may or may not indicate precise legal relationships.

Projections, targets, estimates, and business plans in this report are forward-looking statements. Actual future results, including merger synergies, demand growth, project dates, capacities, production rates, and resource recoveries could differ materially due to, for example, changes in market conditions affecting the oil and gas industry; the outcome of commercial negotiations; our ability to implement our business strategies as planned; and other factors discussed under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" in Item 1 of ExxonMobil's Form 10-K.
