Exxon Mobil's (XOM) CEO Rex Tillerson Hosts Annual Shareholder Meeting (Transcr... Page 12 of 25<br />

Corporate lobbying exposes our company to risks that could affect the company's stated goals, objectives, and ultimately<br />

shareholder value, and we rely on the information provided by our company to evaluate goals and objectives, and therefore,<br />

have a strong interest in full disclosure of our company's lobbying to assess whether our - whether our company's lobbying is<br />

consistent with its expressed goals and in the best interests of shareholders and long-term value. Therefore we encourage our<br />

board to prepare a comprehensive disclosure related to direct, indirect and grassroots lobbying. Thank you.<br />

Rex Tillerson - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer<br />

Thank you. The board re<strong>comm</strong>ends a vote against this proposal as outlined on page 67 of the proxy statement. The last<br />

shareholder proposal calls for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Goals and has shown on pages 67 and 68 of the proxy statement. I<br />

understand that Mr. Patricia Daly will present the proposal. Mr. Pat.<br />

Patricia Daly<br />

Thank you Mr. Tillerson, good to see you this morning Mr. (indiscernible), thanks again for that meeting, the Crosby referenced<br />

and continued dialogue. Good morning members of the Board of Directors, it's great to have you here and I appreciate these<br />

couple of minutes.<br />

I represent my congregation the Dominican Sisters of Caldwell, New Jersey, also the American Baptist churches and about 40<br />

institutional and individual shareholders, longtime shareholders in Exxon Mobil, some of them also longtime shareholders in<br />

Mobil. So I am here to move the resolution, we've been here for many years, about seven or eight years I think now asking our<br />

company to give us the business plan, to set goal to reduce screen definition in both operations and in product. Mr. Tillerson, I<br />

believe you started with Exxon in 1975 that is the year I entered the Dominican order, life has changed. That year ICCR<br />

members, we interface center on corporate responsibility, had shareholder resolutions about South Africa at both Exxon and<br />

Mobil.<br />

We've been working with our company since 1996 on this issue, even longer with some other companies. Since then we have<br />

an additional 1.6 billion people on this planet. In 1996, there were 370 plus million of carbon in the atmosphere. Today we<br />

have well over 400 parts. Scientists tell us that 350 is the number to maintain a safe, loving environment. I think a lot of storms,<br />

right. But it's no longer about the storms, it's about food system on the planet, it's about water, it's about issues, it's about<br />

ocean life, it's about sea levels an incredible shift to this planet. Father Mike referenced the U.S. climate assessment report<br />

mandated by Congress how desperate that report now comes.<br />

Back in 1997, our resolution that year asked for a report on climate risk, environmental liabilities. We are so grateful that our<br />

Board and our management has given us this report this spring. However, I am also concerned we took 17 years. So we have<br />

to report we are working on it, we work together, but our company continues to rely on a bid that the nations of the world will<br />

be nothing about climate change for the next 30 years.<br />

I am working with the auto companies in the United States. They worked with the EPA to establish realistic new goal fuel<br />

standards, but they need the oil and gas industry to deliver the fuel, the cleaner fuels in order to make this happen. Our<br />

business plan impacts all businesses, not just in the United States, but around the world. It impacts people's lives around the<br />

world.<br />

^<br />

I am seeing now that investors, major investors around the planet are now shifting money into the clean technology, the new<br />

businesses that we need. I know some of your board members, Mr. Weldon we have worked together with JPMorgan Chase.<br />

Mr. Reinemund is on that board. The financial sector we are witnessing a massive shift into new technologies. We need to<br />

step up to the responsibility as the nations of the world next year prepare for a new climate treaty. Retirees today depend on<br />

our business in the next 20 years, but employees today depends on the success of our business for the next 15 years and is<br />

got to be making the right investment.<br />

I have a cousin who is about to start an engineering degree. I haven't seen kids yet who are looking to go into the oil and gas<br />

business. The creators, engineers ongoing to the alternatives, we have got to be moving more money into the alternatives.<br />

Please give us the business plan to be able to pull that cost. Mr. Tillerson, thank you very much. Everybody, thanks so much<br />

for your time and patience today.<br />

Rex Tillerson - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer<br />
