American Red Cross and United Way to Receive $500,000 in Funding

IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYS: XOM) will
donate $500,000 to the American Red Cross and United Way for Hurricane Isaac
disaster relief assistance in Louisiana and Mobile, AL.

"The flooding from the storm has been devastating, particularly in southern
Louisiana," said Steve Blume, manager, ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery. "We
hope that our donation to the Red Cross and United Way will help the people
of Louisiana and Mobile as they recover."

ExxonMobil's donation is being directed to the Louisiana Capital Area
Chapter Red Cross and the Capital Area United Way in Baton Rouge, the United
Way of the Greater New Orleans Area, the Southeast Louisiana Chapter Red
Cross and the Alabama Gulf Coast (Mobile) Chapter Red Cross.

The Red Cross provides food, shelter, counseling and other assistance to the
victims of this disaster and thousands of other disasters across the country
each year. The Capital Area United Way serves an area which includes the
parishes of Ascension, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville,
Livingston, Pointe Coupee, St. Helena, St. James, West Baton Rouge, and West
Feliciana.

ExxonMobil employs approximately 5,000 employees and contractors in the
Baton Rouge area, where it has operated refining and petrochemical
manufacturing facilities for more than 100 years.

The United Way for the Greater New Orleans area serves Jefferson, Orleans,
Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes.
In St. Bernard Parish, an ExxonMobil affiliate operates Chalmette Refining,
L.L.C., which employs approximately 1,000 employees and contractors.

"Like so many of the residents of southeastern Louisiana, our employees are
clearing debris, patching roofs and rebuilding homes following Hurricane
Isaac," said Janet Matsushita, plant manager at Chalmette Refining.
"ExxonMobil's support is making a meaningful difference in our community."

ExxonMobil also has oil and gas production installations on the coast of
Louisiana and in the Gulf of Mexico, and employs approximately 200 employees
and contractors. At Mobile, the company operates offshore natural gas
production facilities and an onshore treating facility and has approximately
200 employees and contractors.
