 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The below communication is an internal article for ExxonMobil&#146;s intranet, Inside ExxonMobil,
regarding the announcement of its new Low Carbon Solutions business.</I><B> </B><I> </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>ExxonMobil launches new Low Carbon Solutions business </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>What&#146;s new? </B>Today we are announcing ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions &#150; a new business that will work to commercialize and deploy
emission-reduction technologies. This business will initially focus on carbon capture and storage (CCS) and is advancing plans for more than 20 new CCS opportunities around the world. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Who&#146;s leading? </B>ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions will be led by Joe Blommaert, who has more than 30 years of experience at ExxonMobil with
leadership roles in technology advancement, product marketing and operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Why did we take this step?</B> ExxonMobil created Low Carbon Solutions
to help commercialize projects and partnerships that can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and help others reduce theirs. With increasing government focus, growing market demand and additional investor interest, we are increasing our emphasis in
the area of carbon capture and storage through the establishment of ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions. This action is a further demonstration of our ongoing efforts to reduce emissions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Why focus on CCS?</B> The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the International Energy Agency agree that CCS is one of the most
important <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-carbon</FONT> technologies required to achieve societal climate goals at the lowest cost. CCS is one of the only technologies that may enable some industry sectors to decarbonize, including the
refining, chemicals, cement, and steel sectors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>How do we measure up?</B> ExxonMobil is the leader in carbon capture, with more than 30 years of
experience in CCS technology. We were the first company to capture more than 120&nbsp;million tonnes of CO<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB>, which is equivalent to the emissions of more than 25&nbsp;million cars for one year.
We have an equity share in about <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-fifth</FONT> of global CO<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB> capture capacity and have captured approximately 40&nbsp;percent of all the anthropogenic CO<SUB
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB> that has ever been captured. The new opportunities being advanced would complement our current carbon capture capacity in the United States, Australia and Qatar, which totals about 9&nbsp;million
tonnes per year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Will the new business include only CCS?</B> ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions will also leverage our significant experience in the
production of hydrogen which, when coupled with CCS, is likely to play a critical role in a lower-carbon energy system. Other technology focus areas in ExxonMobil&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-carbon</FONT> portfolio will be added in
the future as they mature to commercialization. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>How does this fit with our research efforts?</B> Teams across ExxonMobil will continue to advance
research on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-emission</FONT> technologies to reduce costs and enhance scalability. This includes our work with <U>FuelCell Energy</U> to advance carbonate fuel cell technology and with <U>Global Thermostat</U> to
advance efforts to capture CO<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB> directly from the air. ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions will work to commercialize these and other technologies and deploy them on a large scale. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Sum it up for me:</B> &#147;With our demonstrated leadership in carbon capture and emissions reduction technologies, ExxonMobil is committed to meeting the
demand for affordable energy while reducing emissions and managing the risks of climate change,&#148; said Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer. &#147;We are focused on proprietary projects and commercial partnerships that will have a
demonstrably positive impact on our own emissions as well as those from the industrial, power generation and commercial transportation sectors, which together account for 80&nbsp;percent of global
CO<SUB STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:bottom">2</SUB> emissions. We have the expertise that can help bring technologies to market and make a meaningful difference.&#148; </P>
