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 faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. However, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond Marathon Oil's or ConocoPhillips' control.

    The registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") and definitive proxy statement/prospectus that was filed with the SEC on July 29, 2024, and is available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1163165/000110465924083174/tm2416360-8_424b3.htm describes additional risks in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Registration Statement and definitive proxy statement/prospectus are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.
