Today, KING WIN LAUREL LIMITED announced that it will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) at a combination of US $35.00 and Chinese RMB Yuan 283.5 for each share of common stock, without par value, or approximately US $450 billion. The offering prices of the proposed transaction will be as follows: (1) We value US $70.00 for each share of common stock, without par value; (2) For each share of common stock, we will pay a combination of US $35.00 and Chinese RMB Yuan 283.50 in cash. In addition, if the merger of Exxon Mobil Corporation with us is completed, each share of common stock of Exxon Mobil Corporation, either tendered by the offer or not, will be automatically entitled to enjoy a right to receive extra consideration in cash that will be subject to the following condition: If during a year after merger, the annual average sale price of crude oil on market over the world of is over US $80 per barrel, the right to receive extra consideration for the year will be effective and be executed. The extra consideration for the year, net to seller in cash, will be between US $0.01 and $0.50 and will be dependent on both the annual average sale price of crude oil on market over the world and the total sale volume of crude oil by us during the year.
