NEWS RELEASE
Dec. 10,
2024
ConocoPhillips announces upsizing and early results of cash tender
offers for debt securities and consent solicitations
HOUSTON – ConocoPhillips
(NYSE: COP) (“COP”) announced today the early results of the previously announced cash tender offers (the “Offers”
or collectively, the “Tender Offer”) of its wholly-owned subsidiary, ConocoPhillips Company (“CPCo”).
In addition, COP further announced that it has amended the Offers by increasing the Maximum Offer Reference Amount (as defined below)
from $4,000,000,000 (as previously announced) to an amount sufficient to accept for purchase all Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels
1-7 (as set forth in the second table below) in full, in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase (as defined below).
Pursuant to the Offers, CPCo is offering to purchase: (1) any
and all of Marathon Oil Corporation’s (“Marathon”) debt securities listed in the first table below (collectively,
the “Any and All Notes”), and (2) (A) for Holders who validly tendered their Maximum Offer Notes (as defined
below) as of the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below), a combined aggregate purchase price of up to approximately $4.05 billion (an
amount sufficient to accept for purchase all Maximum Offer Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1-7 (as set forth in the second table
below)) (as increased pursuant to this release, and as it may be increased or decreased by CPCo in accordance with applicable law and
the Offer to Purchase, the “Maximum Offer Reference Amount”) less the aggregate purchase price of the Any and
All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase through the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding
fees and expenses related to the Offers) (the “Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount”) of the debt securities listed in
the second table below (collectively, the “Maximum Offer Notes” and together with the Any and All Notes, the “Notes”),
subject to the priorities set forth in the second table below (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”) and proration, and
(B) for Holders who validly tender their Maximum Offer Notes following the Early Tender Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration
Date (as defined below), a combined aggregate purchase price of up to the Maximum Offer Reference Amount less (x) the aggregate
purchase price of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase through the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued
and unpaid interest and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers), (y) the aggregate purchase price of Maximum Offer Notes
validly tendered and accepted for purchase through the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding fees
and expenses related to the Offers) and (z) the aggregate purchase price of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted
for purchase after the Early Tender Deadline through the Expiration Date (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding fees and
expenses related to the Offers) (the “Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount”) of Maximum Offer Notes, subject to the Acceptance
Priority Levels and proration, provided that if the deduction of (x), (y) and (z) results in a negative number, the Late Tender
Maximum Offer Amount will be $0. If the Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount is $0, no additional Maximum Offer Notes will be accepted for
purchase after the Early Tender Deadline. The Offers are open to all registered holders of the applicable Notes (collectively, the “Holders”).
According to information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation,
the information agent and tender agent for the Offers, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 9, 2024 (the “Early
Tender Deadline”), approximately $2.67 billion aggregate principal amount of Any and All Notes were validly tendered and not
validly withdrawn, and approximately $2.28 billion aggregate principal amount of Maximum Offer Notes were validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn. The tables below identify the principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn:

Subject to the Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount and the Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount, as applicable, and proration, the principal amount of each series of Maximum Offer Notes that are purchased in the Maximum Notes Offer will be determined in accordance with the applicable “Acceptance Priority Level” (in numerical priority order with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 13 being the lowest) specified in the applicable column. |
In conjunction with the Offers, Marathon is soliciting consents (each, a “Consent Solicitation” and, collectively,
the “Consent Solicitations”) to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures governing the Any and
All Notes to eliminate certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions, and events of default (the “Proposed Amendments”).
CPCo is also offering eligible Holders of each series of Any and All
Notes, in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation (the “Offering
Memorandum”), a copy of which may be obtained from the information agent, the opportunity to exchange the outstanding Any and
All Notes for up to $4,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by CPCo and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
COP (the “Concurrent Exchange Offer”). Holders of any series of Any and All Notes who validly tender and do not validly
withdraw their Any and All Notes pursuant to the Concurrent Exchange Offer will also be deemed to have consented to the Proposed Amendments
under the Consent Solicitations. A Holder is only able to tender Any and All Notes within a series into either the Any and All Notes
Offer or the Concurrent Exchange Offer, as the same Any and All Notes cannot be tendered into more than one tender offer at the same
time.
COP also announced that, as of the Early Tender Deadline, Marathon
has received the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to each of the six outstanding series of
Any and All Notes that are subject to the Consent Solicitations (pursuant to the Any and All Notes Offer and the Concurrent Exchange
Offer). Marathon has entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee for the Any and All Notes to effect the Proposed Amendments.
In addition, COP also announced that the Financing Condition for the
Offers as described in the Offer to Purchase has been satisfied.
The Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made pursuant to and
are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated Nov. 25, 2024 (as amended by this release, the
"Offer to Purchase"). The Any and All Notes Offer is a separate offer from the Maximum Offer, and each of the Any and
All Notes Offer and the Maximum Offer may be individually amended, extended or terminated by CPCo.
As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 9, 2024 (the “Withdrawal
Deadline”), Notes validly tendered in the Offers may no longer be withdrawn except in certain limited circumstances where additional
withdrawal rights are required by law.
Because the aggregate purchase price of Maximum Offer Notes validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline is expected to exceed the Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount,
CPCo expects to accept all validly tendered 7.800% Debentures due 2027, 7.000% Debentures due 2029, 7.375% Senior Notes due 2029, 6.950%
Senior Notes due 2029, 8.125% Senior Notes due 2030, 7.400% Senior Notes due 2031 and 7.250% Senior Notes due 2031, and none of the validly
tendered 7.200% Senior Notes due 2031, 5.900% Senior Notes due 2032, 5.950% Senior Notes due 2036, 5.900% Senior Notes due 2038, 5.950%
Senior Notes due 2046, and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2039. Although the Maximum Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on Dec. 24, 2024 (such date and time, as may be extended or earlier terminated by CPCo), because the Maximum Offer is expected
to have been fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, CPCo does not expect to accept for purchase any Maximum Offer Notes tendered
after the Early Tender Deadline. Maximum Offer Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned to the tender Holders
as described in the Offer to Purchase.
The consideration to be paid in the Offers for each series of Notes
validly tendered and expected to be accepted for purchase as described in the Offer to Purchase will be determined at 10:00 a.m., New
York City time, on Dec. 10, 2024 (such date and time as may be extended by CPCo). Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly
withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable total consideration (the “Total
Tender Offer Consideration”), which includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted
for purchase. The applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration will be determined by reference to a fixed spread specified for each series
of Notes over the yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, as described in the Offer to Purchase.
In addition to the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration, Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior
to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest rounded to the nearest cent on such
$1,000 principal amount of Notes from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.
The settlement date for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase is expected to be Dec. 12, 2024, the third business day after
the Early Tender Deadline (the “Early Settlement Date”).
CPCo’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions as described
in the Offer to Purchase. CPCo reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions applicable
to any of the Offers; (ii) extend or terminate any of the Offers; (iii) increase or decrease the Maximum Offer Reference Amount
for purposes of determining the Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount or the Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount, in either case, without extending
the Early Tender Deadline or the Withdrawal Deadline; or (iv) otherwise amend any of the Offers in any respect.

LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are the Lead Dealer Managers and Solicitation Agents for the Tender Offer. Global Bondholder Services
Corporation is the Tender Agent and Information Agent. Persons with questions regarding the Tender Offer should contact TD Securities

Notes may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation (toll-free) at (855) 654-2015.
This news release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation
of an offer to sell the Notes. The Offers and Consent Solicitations are made only by the Offer to Purchase and the information in this
news release is qualified by reference to the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal, dated Nov. 25, 2024. None of
ConocoPhillips or its affiliates, their respective boards of directors, the Dealer Managers, the Solicitation Agents, the Tender Agent
and Information Agent or the trustees with respect to any Notes is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any
Notes in response to the Offers, and neither ConocoPhillips nor any such other person has authorized any person to make any such recommendation.
Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined
under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to future events, plans and anticipated results of operations, business
strategies, and other aspects of our operations or operating results. Words and phrases such as “ambition,” “anticipate,”

“outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,”
“should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and other similar words can be used to identify
forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Where, in
any forward-looking statement, the company 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 our control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results
may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or
events to differ materially from what is presented include changes in commodity prices, including a prolonged decline in these prices
relative to historical or future expected levels; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market
conditions affecting oil and gas, including changes resulting from any ongoing military conflict, including the conflicts in Ukraine
and the Middle East, and the global response to such conflict, security threats on facilities and infrastructure, or from a public health
crisis or from the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC and other producing
countries and the resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes; insufficient liquidity or other factors, such
as those listed herein, that could impact our ability to repurchase shares and declare and pay dividends such that we suspend our share
repurchase program and reduce, suspend, or totally eliminate dividend payments in the future, whether variable or fixed; changes in expected
levels of oil and gas reserves or production; potential failures or delays in achieving expected reserve or production levels from existing
and future oil and gas developments, including due to operating hazards, drilling risks or unsuccessful exploratory activities; unexpected
cost increases, inflationary pressures or technical difficulties in constructing, maintaining or modifying company facilities; legislative
and regulatory initiatives addressing global climate change or other environmental concerns; public health crises, including pandemics
(such as COVID-19) and epidemics and any impacts or related company or government policies or actions; investment in and development
of competing or alternative energy sources; potential failures or delays in delivering on our current or future low-carbon strategy,
including our inability to develop new technologies; disruptions or interruptions impacting the transportation for our oil and gas production;
international monetary conditions and exchange rate fluctuations; changes in international trade relationships or governmental policies,
including the imposition of price caps, or the imposition of trade restrictions or tariffs on any materials or products (such as aluminum
and steel) used in the operation of our business, including any sanctions imposed as a result of any ongoing military conflict, including
the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; our ability to collect payments when due, including our ability to collect payments from
the government of Venezuela or PDVSA; our ability to complete any announced or any future dispositions or acquisitions on time, if at
all; the possibility that regulatory approvals for any announced or any future dispositions or acquisitions will not be received on a
timely basis, if at all, or that such approvals may require modification to the terms of the transactions or our remaining business;
business disruptions relating to the acquisition of Marathon Oil Corporation (Marathon Oil) or following any other announced or other
future dispositions or acquisitions, including the diversion of management time and attention; the ability to deploy net proceeds from
our announced or any future dispositions in the manner and timeframe we anticipate, if at all; our ability to successfully integrate
Marathon Oil’s business and technologies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently
as expected; our ability to achieve the expected benefits and synergies from the Marathon Oil acquisition in a timely manner, or at all;
potential liability for remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations; potential liability resulting from pending
or future litigation, including litigation related directly or indirectly to pending or completed transactions; the impact of competition
and consolidation in the oil and gas industry; limited access to capital or insurance or significantly higher cost of capital or insurance
related to illiquidity or uncertainty in the domestic or international financial markets or investor sentiment; general domestic and
international economic and political conditions or developments, including as a result of any ongoing military conflict, including the
conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; changes in fiscal regime or tax, environmental and other laws applicable to our business; and

as of the Early Tender Deadline (as defined below), a combined aggregate purchase price of up to approximately $4.04 billion (an amount
sufficient to accept for purchase all Maximum Offer Notes with Acceptance Priority Levels 1-7, as set forth in the second table below)
(as it may be increased or decreased by CPCo in accordance with applicable law and the Offer to Purchase dated Nov. 25, 2024 (the "Offer
to Purchase"), the “Maximum Offer Reference Amount”) less the aggregate purchase price of the Any and All
Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase through the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding
fees and expenses related to the Offers) (the “Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount”) of the debt securities listed in
the second table below (collectively, the “Maximum Offer Notes” and together with the Any and All Notes, the “Notes”),
subject to the priorities set forth in the second table below (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”) and proration, and
(B) for Holders who validly tender their Maximum Offer Notes following the Early Tender Deadline but on or prior to the Expiration Date
(as defined below), a combined aggregate purchase price of up to the Maximum Offer Reference Amount less (x) the aggregate purchase price
of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase through the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued and unpaid interest
and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers), (y) the aggregate purchase price of Maximum Offer Notes validly tendered and accepted
for purchase through the Early Tender Deadline (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers)
and (z) the aggregate purchase price of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase after the Early Tender Deadline
through the Expiration Date (excluding accrued and unpaid interest and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers) (the “Late
Tender Maximum Offer Amount”) of Maximum Offer Notes, subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels and proration, provided that
if the deduction of (x), (y) and (z) results in a negative number, the Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount will be $0. If the Late Tender
Maximum Offer Amount is $0, no additional Maximum Offer Notes will be accepted for purchase after the Early Tender Deadline. The Offers
are open to all registered holders of the applicable Notes (collectively, the “Holders”).

Subject to the Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount and the Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount, as applicable, and proration, the principal amount of each series of Maximum Offer Notes that are purchased in the Maximum Notes Offer will be determined in accordance with the applicable “Acceptance Priority Level” (in numerical priority order with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 13 being the lowest) specified in the applicable column. |
| (2) |
Each applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security was quoted from the Bloomberg Reference Page, FIT1. The Bloomberg Reference Page is provided for convenience only. |
| (3) |
Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below) |
| (4) |
Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) and accepted for purchase. |
Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 9, 2024 (the “Early
Tender Deadline”), and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration set forth in the tables
above, which includes an early tender premium of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. In addition to the
applicable Total Tender Offer Consideration, Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender
Deadline and accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest rounded to the nearest cent on such $1,000 principal
amount of Notes from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.
Because the aggregate purchase price of Maximum Offer Notes validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline is expected to exceed the Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount,
CPCo expects to accept all validly tendered 7.800% Debentures due 2027, 7.000% Debentures due 2029, 7.375% Senior Notes due 2029, 6.950%
Senior Notes due 2029, 8.125% Senior Notes due 2030, 7.400% Senior Notes due 2031 and 7.250% Senior Notes due 2031, and none of the validly
tendered 7.200% Senior Notes due 2031, 5.900% Senior Notes due 2032, 5.950% Senior Notes due 2036, 5.900% Senior Notes due 2038, 5.950%
Senior Notes due 2046, and 6.500% Senior Notes due 2039. Although the Maximum Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on Dec. 24, 2024 (such date and time, as may be extended or earlier terminated by CPCo), because the Maximum Offer has been fully
subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, CPCo does not expect to accept for purchase any Maximum Offer Notes tendered after the Early
Tender Deadline. Maximum Offer Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned to the tender Holders as described
in the Offer to Purchase.
The settlement date for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase is expected to be Dec. 12, 2024, the third business day after
the Early Tender Deadline (the “Early Settlement Date”).
CPCo’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions as described
in the Offer to Purchase. CPCo reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions applicable
to any of the Offers; (ii) extend or terminate any of the Offers; (iii) increase or decrease the Maximum Offer Reference Amount
for purposes of determining the Early Tender Maximum Offer Amount or the Late Tender Maximum Offer Amount, in either case, without extending
the Early Tender Deadline or the Withdrawal Deadline; or (iv) otherwise amend any of the Offers in any respect.

CPCo is also conducting cash tender offers to purchase any and all
of the Existing Marathon Notes and several series of debt securities issued by COP and CPCo and subsidiaries thereof (the “Concurrent
Tender Offer”), in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated Nov. 25, 2024 (the
“Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which may be obtained from the information agent. Holders of any series of Existing
Marathon Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Existing Marathon Notes pursuant to the Concurrent Tender Offer will
also be deemed to have consented to the Proposed Amendments under the Consent Solicitations described in this news release. An eligible
holder is only able to tender specific Existing Marathon Notes within a series into either the Concurrent Tender Offer or the Exchange
Offers, as the same Existing Marathon Notes cannot be tendered into more than one tender offer at the same time.
COP also announced that, as of the Early Tender Date, Marathon has
also received the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments with respect to each of the six outstanding series of
Existing Marathon Notes that are subject to the Consent Solicitations (pursuant to the Exchange Offers and Concurrent Tender Offer). Marathon
has entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee for the Existing Marathon Notes to effect the Proposed Amendments.
Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations
expired as of the Early Tender Date, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 9, 2024 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”).
Existing Marathon Notes validly tendered in the Exchange Offers may no longer be withdrawn except in certain limited circumstances where
additional withdrawal rights are required by law.
The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made pursuant
to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated Nov. 25,
2024 (the “Offering Memorandum”). Each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon the completion of
the other Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, although CPCo may waive such condition at any time with respect to an Exchange Offer.
Any waiver of a condition by CPCo with respect to an Exchange Offer will automatically waive such condition with respect to the corresponding
Consent Solicitation.
CPCo, in its sole discretion, may modify or terminate the Exchange
Offers and may extend the Expiration Date (as defined herein) and/or the settlement date with respect to the Exchange Offers, subject
to applicable law. Any such modification, termination or extension by CPCo will automatically modify, terminate or extend the corresponding
Consent Solicitation, as applicable.
The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Dec. 24, 2024, unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). The settlement date will be promptly
after the Expiration Date and is expected to be within three business days after the Expiration Date.
CPCo’s obligation to accept for exchange the Existing Marathon
Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Exchange Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions as
described in the Offering Memorandum. CPCo reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) delay accepting any Existing
Marathon Notes; (ii) extend an Exchange Offer or terminate an Exchange Offer and not accept any Existing Marathon Notes; (iii) extend
the Early Tender Date without extending the Withdrawal Deadline; (iv) terminate an Exchange Offer and return all tendered Existing
Marathon Notes to the respective tendering eligible holders; and (v) amend, modify or waive in part or whole, at any time, or from
time to time, the terms of an Exchange Offer in any respect, including waiver of any conditions to consummation of an Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offers are only being made, and the New Notes are only
being offered and will only be issued, and copies of the offering documents will only be made available, to holders of Existing Marathon
Notes (1) either (a) in the United States, that are “qualified institutional buyers,” or “QIBs,” as
that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in a private
transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (b) outside the United States,
that are persons other than “U.S. persons,” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, in offshore
transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, or a dealer or other professional fiduciary organized, incorporated
or (if an individual) residing in the United States holding a discretionary account or similar account (other than an estate or a trust)
for the benefit or account of a non-”U.S. person,” and (2) (a) if located or resident in any Member State of the
European Economic Area, who are persons other than “retail investors” (for these purposes, a retail investor means a person
who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended,
“MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify
as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a “qualified investor”
as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129), and consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended,
the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the European Economic Area has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the European Economic Area may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation; or (b) if located or resident in the
United Kingdom, who are persons other than “retail investors” (for these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is
one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms
part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“EUWA”); or (ii) a customer within
the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations
made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in
point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not
a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA),
and consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA (the “UK PRIlPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation (“Eligible Holders”). The
Exchange Offers will not be made to holders of Existing Marathon Notes who are located in Canada. Only Eligible Holders who have completed
and returned the eligibility certification are authorized to receive or review the Offering Memorandum or to participate in the Exchange
Offers. The eligibility form is available electronically at: https://gbsc-usa.com/eligibility/conocophillips. There is no separate letter
of transmittal in connection with the Offering Memorandum.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or purchase,
or a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase, or the solicitation of tenders or consents with respect to, any security. No offer,
solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. The Exchange
Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made solely pursuant to the Offering Memorandum and the Concurrent Tender Offer is being made
only by an Offer to Purchase, and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.
The New Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws. Therefore, the New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR”
PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined
under the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to future events, plans and anticipated results of operations, business
strategies, and other aspects of our operations or operating results. Words and phrases such as “ambition,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “effort,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,”
“outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “projection,” “seek,”
“should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and other similar words can be used to identify forward-looking
statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Where, in any forward-looking
statement, the company 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 our control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may
differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events
to differ materially from what is presented include changes in commodity prices, including a prolonged decline in these prices relative
to historical or future expected levels; global and regional changes in the demand, supply, prices, differentials or other market conditions
affecting oil and gas, including changes resulting from any ongoing military conflict, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle
East, and the global response to such conflict, security threats on facilities and infrastructure, or from a public health crisis or from
the imposition or lifting of crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by OPEC and other producing countries
and the resulting company or third-party actions in response to such changes; insufficient liquidity or other factors, such as those listed
herein, that could impact our ability to repurchase shares and declare and pay dividends such that we suspend our share repurchase program
and reduce, suspend, or totally eliminate dividend payments in the future, whether variable or fixed; changes in expected levels of oil
and gas reserves or production; potential failures or delays in achieving expected reserve or production levels from existing and future
oil and gas developments, including due to operating hazards, drilling risks or unsuccessful exploratory activities; unexpected cost increases,
inflationary pressures or technical difficulties in constructing, maintaining or modifying company facilities; legislative and regulatory
initiatives addressing global climate change or other environmental concerns; public health crises, including pandemics (such as COVID-19)
and epidemics and any impacts or related company or government policies or actions; investment in and development of competing or alternative
energy sources; potential failures or delays in delivering on our current or future low-carbon strategy, including our inability to develop
new technologies; disruptions or interruptions impacting the transportation for our oil and gas production; international monetary conditions
and exchange rate fluctuations; changes in international trade relationships or governmental policies, including the imposition of price
caps, or the imposition of trade restrictions or tariffs on any materials or products (such as aluminum and steel) used in the operation
of our business, including any sanctions imposed as a result of any ongoing military conflict, including the conflicts in Ukraine and
the Middle East; our ability to collect payments when due, including our ability to collect payments from the government of Venezuela
or PDVSA; our ability to complete any announced or any future dispositions or acquisitions on time, if at all; the possibility that regulatory
approvals for any announced or any future dispositions or acquisitions will not be received on a timely basis, if at all, or that such
approvals may require modification to the terms of the transactions or our remaining business; business disruptions relating to the acquisition
of Marathon Oil Corporation (Marathon Oil) or following any other announced or other future dispositions or acquisitions, including the
diversion of management time and attention; the ability to deploy net proceeds from our announced or any future dispositions in the manner
and timeframe we anticipate, if at all; our ability to successfully integrate Marathon Oil’s business and technologies, which may
result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; our ability to achieve the expected benefits
and synergies from the Marathon Oil acquisition in a timely manner, or at all; potential liability for remedial actions under existing
or future environmental regulations; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation, including litigation related directly
or indirectly to pending or completed transactions; the impact of competition and consolidation in the oil and gas industry; limited access
to capital or insurance or significantly higher cost of capital or insurance related to illiquidity or uncertainty in the domestic or
international financial markets or investor sentiment; general domestic and international economic and political conditions or developments,
including as a result of any ongoing military conflict, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; changes in fiscal regime
or tax, environmental and other laws applicable to our business; and disruptions resulting from accidents, extraordinary weather events,
civil unrest, political events, war, terrorism, cybersecurity threats or information technology failures, constraints or disruptions;
and other economic, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting our business generally as set forth in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless legally required, ConocoPhillips expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
