EXHIBIT 1
As you know, for over a year shareholders have been requesting to meet with Michael Boskin, chair
of the Exxon Mobil boards Public Issues Committee to discuss climate change, how it will impact
Exxon Mobil, and how the Board of Directors is positioning the company to protect and enhance long
term shareholder value.
Treasurer Nappier has been joined by other investors with total assets totaling over $1 trillion in
requesting this meeting. Mr. Boskin has turned down these requests five times. Treasurer Nappier
believes that when a board member refuses to discuss any issue of this magnitude with significant
institutional shareholders, it calls into question his or her commitment to representing
shareholder interests.
Treasurer Nappier will be calling on shareholders to withhold votes for Mr. Boskins election to
the Exxon Mobil board at the May 30 annual meeting. The Exxon Mobil proxy is expected to be filed
this week.
We will be asking you to join us in this withhold campaign.
We will follow up with you again with a copy of the Treasurers open letter to Exxon Mobil
shareholders later this week.
