You invested hard-earned money into ExxonMobil. That gives you the right to vote your shares on important issues. But most individual shareholders don’t exercise this right. In fact, at ExxonMobil, just one in four individual investors votes on proxy proposals. That’s because voting can be very time consuming. As an investor, you may be asked to vote on dozens of proxy proposals from every company you invest in. Taking the time to read all those proposals can be too much for people who have other jobs to do, families to care for, and countless other responsibilities. Large institutional investment firms have entire teams dedicated to reading, assessing, and voting on proposals. Chances are, as an individual investor, you don’t.

Opting-in to this program means your shares will be voted at each meeting in-line with the Board’s recommendations. So your voice will always be heard.

First, it’s your right to vote as an owner in the company.

Second, energy plays a central role in all of our lives, our security, our standard of living, and our future. Because of this, ExxonMobil has a history of attracting professional activists with only a few shares who want the company’s time, talents, and resources to be spent on their preferred projects. When the Board disagrees with these proposals and individual shareholders don’t vote, it can give undue influence to these activist groups’ proposals that you may not agree with and that may adversely impact ExxonMobil’s ability to deliver shareholder returns.

We know you get a lot of emails and letters and it’s easy to miss one.

If you missed the invitation email or letter, please send an email to Indvidual.Shareholder@exxonmobil.com and we’ll be happy to help you.

We plan to send emails and letters periodically over the course of the year inviting you to join this program. If you miss one, you should have additional opportunities.

ExxonMobil is the first company to create this opt-in program for our individual shareholders. In order to launch this effort, we consulted with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to ensure this program is compliant with relevant regulations.

We fully expect other publicly traded companies will launch similar programs in the future as a way to make shareholder participation the norm, not the exception.

In order to opt-in to the program, you need to be linked to your individual shareholder account. That account is unique to you, and ExxonMobil does not have access to this information. We work with an independent third-party, which provides proxy distribution services for publicly traded companies, to enable you to access your account and opt-in to the program.
