Dividends
Dividends on Common Stock, as declared by the Board of Directors, are normally paid on the
10th day of March, June, September and December.
Dividend Checks Not Received / Electronic Deposit
If you do not receive your dividend check on the appropriate payment date, we suggest that
you wait at least 10 days after the payment date to allow for any delay in mail delivery.
After that time, advise National City Bank by phone or in writing to issue a replacement
check. You may contact National City Bank to authorize electronic deposit of your dividends
or interest into your bank account.
Section 302 Certifications and NYSE CEO Certification
Marathon Oil Corporation has filed the certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2007. In May 2007, Marathon's Chief Executive Officer, as required by Section 303A.12(a)
of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, submitted his certification to the NYSE that he was
not aware of any violation by Marathon of the NYSE's corporate governance listing standards.
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, National City Bank
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 stub of your quarterly dividend check. Seasonal addresses may be entered for
your account.
Exchange of Certificate
If you have not done so, we recommend you submit 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.

Cautionary Note and Statement for the Purposes of the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose
only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive
formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and
operating conditions. In this summary annual report wrap, we use certain terms to refer to
reserves other than proved reserves, which the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from
including in filings with the SEC. These terms include resources and other similar terms,
which are not yet classified as proved reserves. U.S. investors are urged to consider
closely the disclosures in our Form 10-K. You can obtain this form from the SEC by calling
1-800-SEC-0330. This summary annual report wrap also contains forward-looking statements about
Marathon's four business segments: (1) exploration and production; (2) oil sands mining; (3)
integrated gas; and (4) refining, marketing and transportation. Such statements include, but are not
limited to, the timing and levels of production from the Alvheim/Vilje development in Norway, the
Neptune development in the Gulf of Mexico, the Corrib project in Ireland and other existing and
potential developments; future exploration and drilling activity; additional reserves; the estimated
startup date of an LNG liquefaction plant and related facilities in Equatorial Guinea, including
possible expansion plans and sale of the LNG; potential developments in Angola; potential new
leaseholds in Indonesia; potential gas-to-fuels developments; potential production development in
Libya; the anticipated commencement or completion date of other expansion projects; a joint venture
that would construct and operate ethanol plants; the Garyville refinery expansion; and the common
stock repurchase program. 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 attached Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007, 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.
