Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan The Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan provides stockholders with a convenient way to purchase additional shares of Marathon Oil Corporation Common Stock without payment of any brokerage fees or service charges through investment of cash dividends or through optional cash payments. Stockholders of record can request a copy of the Plan Prospectus and an authorization form from National City Bank. Beneficial holders should contact their brokers Lost Stock Certificate If a stock certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, notify National City Bank in writing so that a stop transfer can be placed on the missing certificate. National City Bank will send you the necessary forms and instructions for obtaining a replacement certificate. You may be required to obtain and pay for the cost of an indemnity bond. If you find the missing certificate, notify National City Bank in writing immediately so that the stop transfer can be removed. To avoid loss, theft or destruction, we recommend that you keep your certificates in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box at your bank. Taxpayer Identification Number Federal law requires that each stockholder provide a certified Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for his/her stockholder account. For individual stockholders, your TIN is your Social Security Number. If you do not provide a certified TIN, Marathon may be required to withhold 28 percent for federal income taxes from your dividends. Address Change It is important that you notify National City Bank immediately, by phone, in writing or by fax, when you change your address. As a convenience, you also may indicate an address change on the face of your quarterly dividend check. Seasonal addresses can be entered for your account Exchange of Certificate If you have not done so, we recommend you return any USX Corporation or United States Steel Corporation common stock certificates which were issued prior to May 7, 1991, in exchange for certificates for Marathon Oil Corporation Common Stock. Certificates should be sent to National City Bank. Range of Marathon Stock Sale Prices and Dividends
