Item 5.07   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holdings



(a)

Exxon Mobil Corporation (the "Company" or "ExxonMobil") held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 26, 2021, at which the matters set forth below in response to Item 5.07(b) were submitted to a vote of security holders.

As of the close of business on March 29, 2021, the record date for the Annual Meeting, 4,233,538,767 shares of the Company's common stock, without par value ("Common Stock"), were outstanding and entitled to vote.

Set forth below are the proposals voted upon at the Annual Meeting, and the estimated preliminary voting results reported by the Company's proxy solicitor, MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (the "Proxy Solicitor"), based on the information available to the Proxy Solicitor. Based on the estimated preliminary results from the Proxy Solicitor and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, at least 2,842,090,241 shares of Common Stock were voted in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, representing more than 67.1% percent of the shares entitled to be voted. Percentages are based on the total votes cast. Under the corporate law of New Jersey, where ExxonMobil is incorporated, abstentions are not votes cast. Broker non-votes are not separately reported.

The numbers depicted as votes cast on each proposal and with respect to the voting for and withheld on the contested director election are only estimates and may not reflect the actual results, which are being tabulated by the independent inspector of election (the "Inspector of Election"). The Inspector of Election is the only person who will be able to count, tabulate and validate the votes to reflect, among other items: the net effect of legal proxies and other ballots or proxy cards voted at the Annual Meeting; the proxy votes received by Engine No. 1; any reconciliations between votes submitted on the blue card vs. the white card (including cases in which shareholders may have voted both cards or a later-dated proxy revoked a prior vote); the votes cast on behalf of the custodian banks and brokers by Broadridge Financial Solutions ("Broadridge") and votes cast through certain other intermediaries who do not participate in the proxy voting system maintained by Broadridge.

These preliminary voting results will ultimately be updated through the filing of an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the final certification of results from the Inspector of Election. At this time, the Company does not know when the Inspector of Election will complete his work and then be able to certify the Annual Meeting vote results. There can be no assurance that the outcome of the final results will be consistent with the outcome of the estimated vote results indicated on this Form 8-K.
