Safe Harbor Statement

This Corporate Social Responsibility Report contains forward-looking statements about an LNG liquefaction plant and related facilities in Equatorial Guinea and a joint venture that will construct and operate ethanol plants. 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 have a reasonable basis. However, there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will result or be achieved. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. In accordance with the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Marathon has included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and subsequent Forms 10-Q and 8-K, cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
