Forward–Looking Statements All statements in this presentation (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this presentation) other than historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to: the Company’s operational, financial and growth strategies, including the 2014 budget and planned expenditures, growth activities and expectations, future drilling plans and expectations, and the share repurchase program; the Company’s ability to successfully effect those strategies and the expected results therefrom; the Company’s financial and operational outlook, and ability to fulfill that outlook; 2014 estimates for production growth, exploration expenses and operating costs, volumes and tax rates; expected additions to the Company's Oklahoma acreage position; estimated growth in resource plays; statements related to enhanced completion designs and the expected benefits thereof; and statements related to the announced sale of the Norway business and the expected proceeds, timing and use of proceeds thereof. While the Company believes that the assumptions concerning future events are reasonable, a number of factors could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements including, but not limited to: conditions in the oil and gas industry, including the level of supply or demand for liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas and the impact on the price of liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas; changes in political or economic conditions in key operating markets, including international markets; the amount of capital available for exploration and development; timing of commencing production from new wells; drilling rig availability; availability of materials and labor; the inability to obtain or delay in obtaining necessary government or third-party approvals and permits; non-performance by third parties of their contractual obligations; unforeseen hazards such as weather conditions, acts of war or terrorist acts and the governmental or military response thereto; changes in safety, health, environmental and other regulations; and other geological, operating and economic considerations. These forward-looking statements are also affected by the risk factors, forward-looking statements and challenges and uncertainties described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and those set forth from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are currently available at www.MarathonOil.com. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable or possible reserves which are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. Marathon Oil Corporation uses certain terms in this presentation, such as 2P unconventional resource and other similar terms that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in Marathon Oil's periodic filings with the SEC, available from us at 5555 San Felipe Street, Houston, Texas 77056 and the Company's website at http://www.MarathonOil.com. You can also obtain this information from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330. 2 Marathon Oil Corporation
