NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, continues to investigate potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) resulting from allegations that Exxon Mobil may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
On January 15, 2021, The Wall Street Journal published an article titled, "Exxon Draws SEC Probe Over Permian Basin Asset Valuation." The article reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission launched an investigation after an Exxon Mobil employee filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the Company overvalued one if its most important oil and gas properties. The whistleblower complaint asserts that during a 2019 internal assessment, workers were forced to use unrealistic assumptions about how quickly wells in the Permian Basin could be drilled to reach a higher valuation.
On this news, Exxon Mobil's stock price fell $2.42 per share, or 4.81%, to close at $47.89 per share on January 15, 2021.

FN Media Group Presents Oilprice.com Market Commentary
LONDON, Jan. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A three-well drill campaign has just been launched by a small-cap explorer in a massive Permian basin that could end up being the next major conventional onshore oil discovery in the world. And everyone's watching as many names in the oil industry and resource assessment gather around Reconnaissance Energy (RECO; RECAF). Mentioned in today's commentary includes: Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM), Eni S.p.A. (NYSE: E), Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL), Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE: PXD), Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD).
It's exciting for two reasons. First, there's no more potentially lucrative risk-reward setup than a small-cap sitting on a high-risk exploration play. Plays like this that succeeded have netted some investors 1,000-4,000% gains in the past. And this play is in Africa, where we've seen it happen before:
And those gains were for plays that might in the end pale in comparison to the potential of RECO's 8.5-million-acre Kavango basin in Namibia and Botswana. RECO's land package is far bigger and far more consequential, with well-known geoscientists in the industry backing what they think could end up being 120 billion barrels of oil in place.
Haywood, which initiated coverage of RECO in November at a $2.50 price target, has now bumped that up to $7.00 in the short term precisely because it knows potential upside when it sees it.
Big Money Is Looking to Conventional & Loves the Permian
Saudi Arabia's conventional oil wells are extremely cheap to operate. In fact, the Saudis can produce oil for as low as $3 a barrel. American shale costs many times more to extract, and in some cases up to $73 per barrel. It's not as simple as drilling a hole in the ground and watching the oil gush out. And while U.S. shale or "unconventional" oil was all the rage behind the boom that ended up making the United States a top producer to challenge even the Saudis, the new rationale is that the next big discovery will have to be conventional--and huge--in order to make economic sense.
Now, Wood Mackenzie--the most trusted name in resource assessments--says ReconAfrica's (RECO; RECAF) Kavango Basin is analogous to the Midland Basin in Texas, part of the prolific Permian. Not only that, but Woods Mackenzie estimates the overall development value of Midland to be $540 billion.
Texas' Permian basin boasts one of the world's thickest deposits of sedimentary rocks, formed during the Permian geological period. It's a 250-mile-wide, 300-mile-long sedimentary basin housing the Midland Basin, the Delaware Basin, and the Central Basin Platform across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico.
It's produced 28.9 billion barrels of oil and 75 trillion cubic feet of gas, with no sign of letting up. As of the time of writing, the Permian basin is producing over 4 million barrels per day. In 2019, it became the top producer in the world, even outranking the Saudis. And … it's analogous to Kavango, the next potentially huge conventional oil discovery that we're about to find out about in a matter of months.
A 2021 Oil Frenzy Can Only Happen in Africa
It's generally thought that there's almost no oil or gas left to discover on land, except in Africa, which remains massively under explored. There aren't likely to be any more huge discoveries in Nigeria and Angola, Africa's No. 1 and No.2 producers, respectively, and environmental disasters, corruption, and heavy-handed tax regimes are rendering both increasingly toxic.
Namibia hasn't produced a single barrel of oil in its history - onshore or offshore. Offshore, Exxon (XOM) has scooped up 7 million net acres …Onshore, Recon Africa (RECO; RECAF) is the superstar--and the only player with significant acreage in the field. That's because it bought up oil and gas rights to the entire Kavango sedimentary basin from Namibia all the way to Botswana before anyone had time to blink.
Now, the company is setting itself up for an even bigger potential win than Africa Oil did in a stunning discovery that put Kenya on the oil map back in 2010. When small-cap Africa Oil discovered the East Africa Rift oil, investors saw a 10X windfall right off the bat.
World-Famous Geochemist Estimates 120 Billion Barrels
The prospects here are so tantalizing that some of the most renowned geoscientists in the world have chimed in.
Dan Jarvie, one of the original geoscientists that helped locate their claim in Namibia, is a world-renowned geochemist who's analyzed and interpreted petroleum formations the world over. He was one of the primary drivers behind the exploration of the Barnett resource play and former Chief Geochemist for oil and gas major EOG Resources (one of the largest independent oil producers in North America).
Jarvie recently came out with estimates showing the potential for generation of 120 billion barrels of oil equivalent based only on 12% of Recon's holdings. He says he's being conservative. And it's not just 120 billion barrels to Jarvie: "We could even be looking at the last major onshore oil discovery on Earth."
Even better: ReconAfrica (RECO; RECAF) still has plenty of cash on hand to complete their drill program – and with a massive 8.5-million-acre land package, it's also got plenty of promising targets to choose from.
With the first test well already spudded, and drilling operations now underway as of today, by mid-February, we could already see them reach a depth of 12,000 feet. Next comes 2D seismic acquisition and interpretation in Q2 2021, followed by 6-2 well evaluation and drilling of two other back-to-back wells in the same quarter.
By the second half of next year if everything goes to plan, it's likely RECO will already be in JV discussions if drilling goes as planned. RECO just went one step closer to de-risking a "massive potential resource", according to Haywood. In a few weeks, early-in investors will find out, and it will be on everyone's radar.
Big Oil Could Benefit From The Price Rebound
Exxon (XOM) has been desperately pulling on all the levers in a bid to get through the oil slump with its dividend intact but could be running out of options. Exxon has announced that it will cut 15% of its workforce in order to protect its fat dividend (10.6% yield) and also slash capital expenditure--again.
Like many of its peers, ExxonMobil has also shed nearly half of its value since the beginning of 2020. Despite this, Exxon has been making big moves in the energy realm, and is positioning itself perfectly to capitalize on the rebound in oil prices, as well as the global pivot to natural gas, in the coming years.
Italian energy major, Eni (E), described 2020 as a "year of war", regarding the energy crisis experienced in the face of a global pandemic. But it may be too soon to see the issues faced last year as a thing of the past. Eni is committing to lower the price of oil at which the company breaks even going into 2021, as a means of tackling the uncertainty of the oil economy in the coming months. Francesco Gattei, CFO at Eni, stated that "Volatility is growing every year.", highlighting the need to be prepared for the energy demand of the future. In fact, Eni has now set out a plan to lower its greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050.
Like other oil majors, Eni's share price took a major beating in 2020, falling by as much as 30% over the course of the year. But thanks to recovering demand and its diversification efforts, Eni is looking more and more appealing to investors.
Halliburton (HAL) is one of the largest oilfield services companies in the world. The company has secured its place as a giant in the oil and gas industry. But it didn't happen overnight. The oilfield services sector is highly competitive and ripe with innovation. In order to stay ahead, companies must be on the absolute cutting edge of technology. And that's exactly what Halliburton has done. And recently, Halliburton increased the heat for its competition. Partnering with Microsoft, Halliburton has become one of the most exciting "tech" plays in the industry.
The oilfield services sector was among the hardest hit in the 2020 oil price disaster, and Halliburton was not immune to its impact. The company saw its share prices crater, falling by 79% from January to March. The hit definitely stung, but Halliburton rose to the challenge. Thanks to its strong management and innovative approach to the industry, the company's stock managed to stage a fairly impressive recovery, climbing from $5 in March to today's price of $20, proving that it's still got what it takes to remain competitive in this industry.
Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) was one of the big—and few—dealmakers of 2020, acquiring Parsley Energy for about $7.6 billion in an all-stock deal that also included Parsley's debt. The landmark deal helped make Texas-based Pioneer the largest independent oil and gas producer in the Permian Basin. Having worked together previously, the merger expects significant savings and greater pressure on regulators in the region. Working in the Permian Basin, the world's most prolific oilfield with a production of 558,000 bpd equivalent, Pioneer hopes this will ensure it rides out the Covid-19 slump.
But that doesn't mean investors shouldn't keep an eye on the company. Share prices of Pioneer have nearly doubled since November, climbing from $77 per share to today's price of $132. And while outlook for the shale patch isn't particularly inspiring at the moment, Pioneer is an undervalued stock in an industry that will inevitably return to its previous glory.
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) is the top transporter of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and also owns the most NGL fractionation capacity in the United States, as well as dock space for exports. Enterprise Products is the largest midstream MLP in the country. Enterprise has clearly read the signs of the times and has begun to work with partners to scale back its project backlog. In the past, EP was able to weather the normal industry headwinds thanks to robust cash coverage and manageable leverage. Unfortunately, Covid-19 has been anything but your average downturn, and EP has been forced to seriously cut back on Capex.
Despite the downturn, which saw Enterprise lose as much as 30% of its value in 2020, things are already looking up for the company. Its dividend distribution is still attractive to investors at 8.6%, its cash flow is sustainable, and its fiscal expectations look promising. Altogether, that puts Enterprise in an attractive position for investors looking for potentially undervalued stocks as oil prices stage a comeback.

Exploration for hydrocarbons is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. Recon's future success will depend on its ability to develop its current properties and on its ability to discover resources that are capable of commercial production. However, there is no assurance that Recon's future exploration and development efforts will result in the discovery or development of commercial accumulations of oil and natural gas. In addition, even if hydrocarbons are discovered, the costs of extracting and delivering the hydrocarbons to market and variations in the market price may render uneconomic any discovered deposit. Geological conditions are variable and unpredictable. Even if production is commenced from a well, the quantity of hydrocarbons produced inevitably will decline over time, and production may be adversely affected or may have to be terminated altogether if Recon encounters unforeseen geological conditions. Adverse climatic conditions at such properties may also hinder Recon's ability to carry on exploration or production activities continuously throughout any given year.

SINGAPORE and PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea, Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC, POMSox: IOC) today announced that it has entered into a new US$470 million senior secured credit facility. Once the conditions precedent are satisfied, the new facility will refinance and replace the existing US$400 million secured capital expenditure facility.
As noted in the management information circular mailed to securityholders in relation to the proposed transaction with Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) ("ExxonMobil"), InterOil's independent Transaction Committee ("the Committee") has had numerous discussions regarding InterOil's financial position and recognized that the availability of additional capital would be important to InterOil on a going-forward basis. As such, in order to ensure that InterOil would have sufficient capital to meet its ongoing expenditure obligations, the Committee recommended to the Board that management of InterOil continue to explore the availability of additional funding options. Today's announcement is the culmination of those efforts and has been approved by the full Board.
The facility is secured at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 6.5% and terminates at the end of 2017. In addition, if InterOil receives the interim resource certification payment (as contemplated by the share purchase agreement dated March 26, 2014 between subsidiaries of InterOil and Total S.A.) prior to the closing of the proposed transaction with ExxonMobil, the amount of such payment must be used to repay amounts outstanding under the facility. Lenders in the facility include Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ), Intesa Sanpaolo SPA, Westpac PNG Limited, Bank of South Pacific Limited, Macquarie Bank Limited, Credit Suisse AG, Morgan Stanley and UBS AG. The financing was led by ANZ who acted as Structuring and Documentation Bank. The senior secured credit facility agreement is available under InterOil's SEDAR profile (available at www.sedar.com) and on EDGAR (available at www.sec.gov).

SINGAPORE and PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC; POMSoX: IOC) today urged shareholders to follow the recommendations of leading independent proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), and Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), by voting FOR the proposed transaction with Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) in connection with the upcoming Special Meeting scheduled for February 14, 2017. To be counted, all proxies must be received by 12:00 PM ET on February 10, 2017.
In its January 27, 2017 report, ISS stated:*
"A vote FOR the proposed arrangement is warranted based on a review of the terms of the transaction, in particular, the reasonable strategic rationale, the superior transaction terms (compared to the Oil Search agreement), and the improved disclosure and transaction review process. It appears that the board conducted an adequate strategic review process that resulted in significant disclosure improvements and that addressed concerns raised by the Court of Appeal."
In its January 27, 2017 report, Glass Lewis stated:*
"The board received a new fairness opinion in connection with the Amended Arrangement that provides meaningful disclosure and indicates that the proposed consideration appears favorable relative to the implied value of the Company as derived in discounted cash flows and precedent transactions analyses. The proposed consideration also implies a significant premium to the unaffected closing price of InterOil shares prior to announcement that the Company had agreed to be acquired by Oil Search. Based on the forgoing factors and the support of the board, we believe the proposed transaction is in the best interests of shareholders."
Additional information regarding the value-creating transaction with ExxonMobil and the Board's recommendation for the Special Meeting can be found at www.interoil.com/exxonmobil-transaction, or in InterOil's filings on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov.

SINGAPORE and PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea, Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- InterOil Corporation (NYSE: IOC, POMSox: IOC) today provided an update on the transaction with Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM).
Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement
InterOil and ExxonMobil have entered into an Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement (the "Amended Agreement"), which among other items, extends the outside date of the transaction to March 31, 2017.
Under the terms of the Amended Agreement:
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with ExxonMobil on the transaction, giving our shareholders a chance to consider and benefit from the compelling potential value offered by the transaction," said Chris Finlayson, Chairman of InterOil. "We are now focusing on obtaining the necessary approvals to complete the transaction. We believe this transaction is in the best interests of InterOil and its shareholders, as it provides InterOil shareholders a material and immediate premium for their shares, as well as a potential direct cash payment through a CRP."
Transaction Committee of Board Completes Comprehensive Review
Further to InterOil's announcement on December 13, 2016, InterOil's Independent Transaction Committee ("the Committee"), consisting of four independent and experienced directors of InterOil, has undertaken a detailed and thorough review process to consider whether it is in the best interests of InterOil to proceed with the ExxonMobil transaction, and to ensure that the procedural and substantive aspects of the transaction are responsive to commentary from the Yukon court, relating to approval of the transaction.
To assist in this process, the Committee retained independent legal counsel, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP, to provide transactional and corporate governance advice and engaged BMO Capital Markets ("BMO"), an independent financial advisor, to provide a detailed fairness opinion on a fixed-fee basis. BMO has delivered to the Committee and the InterOil board a fairness opinion stating that based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations and qualifications set out in such fairness opinion, and as of the date of such opinion, the consideration to be received by the InterOil shareholders pursuant to the Amended Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the InterOil shareholders. The fixed fee was paid to BMO immediately following the delivery of the opinion, and was not contingent on the conclusion reached in the opinion, the entry into of the Amended Agreement with ExxonMobil or the completion of the transaction.
The Committee also oversaw the engagement of GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd ("GLJ"), an independent qualified reserves evaluator, to provide an update to its Contingent Resource estimates for the Elk-Antelope field to include the results of the Antelope-6 appraisal well which was completed in 2016. GLJ's updated estimates for the gross unrisked Contingent Resources for the Elk-Antelope field are a low estimate of 6.83 tcfe (1C), a best estimate of 7.80 tcfe (2C) and a high estimate of 8.95 tcfe (3C). The GLJ updated estimates do not include results from the Antelope-7 appraisal well which is currently drilling.
The GLJ updated estimates, along with other recent publically disclosed independent estimates, were reviewed by BMO in connection with rendering its fairness opinion.
The Committee's unanimous conclusion and recommendation to the InterOil Board, and the subsequent determination of the entire InterOil Board, is that the proposed transaction is in the best interests of InterOil (considering the interests of all affected stakeholders) and that the consideration to be received by shareholders is fair to shareholders. Additional details regarding the review process followed by InterOil and the Committee will be set forth in a forthcoming management information circular.
"After a thorough review process, consultation with our own independent advisors and careful consideration of available options, including remaining as a standalone company, the Committee has recommended, and the board of directors has unanimously approved, the new Amended and Restated Arrangement Agreement with ExxonMobil," said Dr. William Ellis Armstrong, Chairman of the Committee. "We believe that the proposed transaction with ExxonMobil is in the best interests of InterOil and its shareholders."
Pathway to completion
Based on the anticipated timing of the interim order hearing, InterOil expects to mail a management information circular relating to a special meeting to vote on the ExxonMobil transaction in mid-January 2017, and anticipates that the meeting will be scheduled for mid-February 2017.
To accommodate this schedule, the InterOil Board has set a new Record Date of January 10, 2017. Holders of record of InterOil's common shares, options and restricted share units at the close of business on January 10, 2017 will be entitled to vote at the special meeting.
In recognition of this new timetable InterOil and ExxonMobil have agreed to extend the outside date for completion of the transaction to March 31, 2017. Either party has the right to further extend the outside date to May 31, 2017 if conditions to closing have been satisfied other than those relating to receipt of a final order from the Yukon court.

Forward Looking Statements
This communication includes "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this communication are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding the pending transaction with ExxonMobil, the timing to consummate the proposed transaction with ExxonMobil, the ability to satisfy the conditions to consummation of the proposed transaction (including, but not limited to, approval by InterOil shareholders and the required approvals from the Yukon courts), the timing or outcome of the resource certification process for the Elk-Antelope field as applicable to the CRP, and the timing of mailing of a management information circular or of scheduling or holding a shareholder meeting relating to the proposed transaction. These statements are based on the current belief of InterOil, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to InterOil. No assurances can be given however, that these events will occur. Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of InterOil, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. These include in particular assumptions, risks and uncertainties relating to the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed acquisition may not be satisfied (including obtaining required approval of InterOil shareholders and the required orders from the Yukon court with respect to the transaction), the timing or outcome of the resource certification process for the Elk-Antelope field as applicable to the CRP, the size of the resources in the Elk-Antelope field or any change in the estimate or calculation of such resource size, the outcome of the drilling of the Antelope-7 well, and other risk factors discussed in InterOil's management information circular dated August 16, 2016, its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2015 on Form 40-F and its Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015, and under the heading "Factors Affecting Future Results" available through the "Investors" section on ExxonMobil's website and in Item 1A of ExxonMobil's 2015 Form 10-K. InterOil disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable laws. References to gas resources in this release may include amounts that ExxonMobil or InterOil believe will ultimately be produced but that are not yet classified as "proved reserves" under U.S. SEC definitions.
Disclosure of Oil and Gas Information
Trillion cubic feet equivalent (tcfe) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A tcfe conversion ratio of one barrel of oil to six thousand cubic feet of gas is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Well test results should be considered as preliminary. Well log interpretations indicating gas accumulations are not necessarily indicative of future production or ultimate recovery. This press release contains estimates of Contingent Resources in the Elk-Antelope fields covered by the Petroleum Retention Licence (PRL) 15 in Papua New Guinea. Contingent Resources are not, and should not be confused with, gas reserves. InterOil owns a 36.5375% interest in the PRL 15 license (post-government back-in right). Estimates of the Contingent Resources in this press release are based upon a report effective November 30, 2016 prepared by GLJ, an independent qualified reserves evaluator. The report was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (the "COGE Handbook"). The Contingent Resources referred to in this press release have been classified as conventional natural gas and natural gas liquids. Contingent Resources are those quantities of natural gas and condensate estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. The economic status of the resources is undetermined and there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. There is no certainty that the Contingent Resources in the Elk-Antelope fields will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources and it should be noted that it is not certain that all fields / accumulations set herein will progress to reserves. Criteria other than economics may require that the Contingent Resources in the Elk-Antelope fields be classified as Contingent Resources rather than reserves. Contingencies affecting the classification as reserves versus Contingent Resources relate to the following issues as detailed in the COGE Handbook: ownership considerations, drilling requirements, testing requirements, regulatory considerations, infrastructure and market considerations, timing of production and development, and economic requirements.
The following classification of Contingent Resources are used in this press release:
The estimates of Contingent Resources provided in this press release are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated Contingent Resources will be recovered. Actual Contingent Resources may be greater than or less than the estimates provided in this in this press release and the differences may be material. There is no assurance that the forecast price and cost assumptions applied by GLJ in evaluating the Contingent Resources in Elk-Antelope fields will be attained and variances could be material. There is also uncertainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any part of the Contingent Resources. For a discussion of the project evaluation scenario, economics status and maturity subclass as well as the chance and development of Contingent Resources evaluated pursuant to GLJ's report on the Elk-Antelope fields see Schedule A to InterOil's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015 which is available on www.interoil.com or from the SEC at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although the report of GLJ that is attached to Schedule A of InterOil's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015 is different than the report of GLJ referred to in this press release, there have been no material changes to the project evaluation scenario, economics status and maturity subclass, or the chance and development of Contingent Resources in the Elk-Antelope gas fields. The operator of the joint venture project in the Elk-Antelope gas fields, Total S.A., estimates that the timeline for development of a liquefied natural gas project in the Elk-Antelope gas fields would include final investment decision in relation to the project in 2019 and first production in 2023 (assuming the project proceeds).

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a securities class action has been filed against Exxon Mobil Corporation ("Exxon" or the "Company") (XOM) and certain of its officers. This class action is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who purchased Exxon between February 19, 2016 and October 27, 2016, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period").
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
Exxon Mobil Corp. is an American multinational oil and gas corporation headquartered in Irving, Texas, and is the world's largest publicly traded company.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements as it emphasized its business model and its transparency and reported integrity, specifically in connection to its oil and gas reserves and the value of those reserves. Particularly, Exxon's public statements were materially false and misleading when made as they failed to disclose: (1) that Exxon's internal reports about climate change recognized the environmental risks caused by global warming and climate change; (2) that, Exxon knew the risks associated with global warming and climate change, and it would not be able to remove the existing hydrocarbon reserves the Company claimed to have and, therefore, a material portion of Exxon's reserves were stranded and should have been written down; and (3) that Exxon had employed an inaccurate "price of carbon" – the cost of regulations such as a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade system to push down emissions – in evaluating the value of certain of its future oil and gas prospects in order to keep the value of its reserves materially overstated. As a result of the Company's hyped up statements, Exxon stock traded at artificially inflated prices, reaching a high during the Class Period of over $95 per share. The rating agencies also upheld Exxon's AAA debt rating – the highest – allowing Exxon to sell $12 billion of corporate debt at extremely favorable rates throughout the Class Period.
Between August through September 2016, several news sources reported that federal regulators were looking into Exxon's reserve accounting in regards to climate change and global warming, and the Company's lack of documentation of any of its oil and gas reserves in the face of declining global oil prices. Following these news reports, Exxon stock dropped to $82.54 per share on September 20, 2016, or over 13% from the Exxon's Class Period high. Then on October 28, 2016, pre-market, Exxon announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. In it, Exxon revealed that it may be forced to document close 20% of its oil and gas assets. Following this news, Exxon stock dropped over $2 per share on October 28, 2016, on unusually high trading volume.
No Class has yet been certified in the above action. To discuss this action, or for any questions, please visit the firm's site: http://www.bgandg.com/xom or contact Peretz Bronstein, Esq. or his Investor Relations Analyst, Yael Hurwitz of Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC at 212-697-6484 or via email info@bgandg.com. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number. If you suffered a loss in Exxon, you have until January 6, 2017 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

InterOil Chairman Chris Finlayson, said, "Our board of directors thoroughly reviewed the ExxonMobil transaction and concluded that it delivers superior value to InterOil shareholders. They will also benefit from their interest in ExxonMobil's diverse asset base and dividend stream."
Under the terms of the agreement with ExxonMobil, InterOil shareholders will receive:

Compelling Benefits of the Transaction
When concluded, this transaction will give ExxonMobil access to InterOil's resource base, which includes interests in six licenses in Papua New Guinea covering about four million acres, including PRL 15. The Elk-Antelope field in PRL 15 is the anchor field for the proposed Papua LNG project.
ExxonMobil's more than 40 years of experience in the global LNG business enables it to efficiently link complex elements such as resource development, pipelines, liquefaction plants, shipping and regasification terminals, which it has demonstrated through the PNG LNG project, working closely with co-venturers, national, provincial and local governments, and local communities. ExxonMobil will bring to bear its industry-leading performance and strong commitment to excellence as it grows its business in Papua New Guinea.
The PNG LNG project, the first of its kind in the country, was developed by ExxonMobil in challenging conditions on budget and ahead of schedule and is now exceeding production design capacity, demonstrating the company's leadership in project management and operations.
ExxonMobil will work with co-venturers and the government to evaluate processing of gas from the Elk-Antelope field by expanding the PNG LNG project. This would take advantage of synergies offered by expansion of an existing project to realize time and cost reductions that would benefit the PNG Treasury, the government's holding in Oil Search, other shareholders and landowners.
Path to Completion
The ExxonMobil Transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies. The InterOil board unanimously recommends that InterOil shareholders approve the ExxonMobil Transaction.
The ExxonMobil Transaction will be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Yukon) and will require the approval of at least 66 2/3 percent of the votes cast by InterOil shareholders at a special meeting expected to take place in September, 2016.
In addition to InterOil shareholder and court approvals, the ExxonMobil Transaction is also subject to other customary conditions. Subject to obtaining the aforementioned approvals and satisfaction of closing conditions, the ExxonMobil Transaction is expected to close in September, 2016.
Further information regarding the transaction with ExxonMobil will be included in an information circular, which will be mailed to InterOil shareholders in due course. Copies of the key transaction documents for the ExxonMobil Transaction (being the arrangement agreement and the information circular) will be available online under InterOil's corporate profile at www.sedar.com.
Oil Search Transaction
The InterOil board of directors, in consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, determined that the ExxonMobil Transaction is superior to the previously announced transaction with Oil Search Limited (ASX:OSH, POMSoX: OSH) and so advised Oil Search on July 18, 2016. Immediately prior to entering into the arrangement agreement with ExxonMobil, InterOil terminated its previously announced arrangement agreement with Oil Search, and ExxonMobil is paying Oil Search the termination fee in accordance with the requirements of the Oil Search arrangement agreement on behalf of InterOil. The previously scheduled Special Meeting of Shareholders to vote for the approval of the Oil Search transaction has been cancelled.

BEAUMONT, Texas, May 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- More than three years after a deadly explosion at its Beaumont, Texas, refinery, ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) has settled negligence lawsuits filed by the parents of two workers who were killed and six others who were injured in the April 17, 2013 blast.
A court order signed May 10, 2016 resolves claims filed by the parents of the deceased and injured workers, attorneys with Beaumont-based Provost Umphrey Law Firm, LLP, announced. The initial lawsuits were filed following the explosion and fire that occurred at a heat exchanger unit inside the ExxonMobil refinery. The injured workers and families of those who died argued that ExxonMobil did not take reasonable steps to warn the workers of the presence of hydrocarbons, inspect the equipment or adequately maintain the premises given the dangerous conditions that were present at the plant, which processes 344,500 barrels of oil a day.
"As a lifelong resident of the Southeast Texas community, I am no stranger to learning that many hardworking people are injured and killed while working within the refining industry. There are many products that could lead to dangerous and fatal conditions for all of the workers and the community as well, which is one reason that safety must be a top priority," says Provost Umphrey lead attorney James E. Payne.
"This was a horrific tragedy that has devastated all of the families involved," says Provost Umphrey attorney Matthew Matheny. "While the terms of the settlement are confidential, the families are pleased to have the litigation resolved although injuries sustained will continue for a lifetime."
Founded in 1969, Provost Umphrey is well-known for representing plaintiffs in cases involving serious personal injury and wrongful death; motor vehicle and aviation accidents; worksite injuries; chemical exposure and toxic torts; dangerous pharmaceutical drugs; complex business disputes; high-stakes insurance claims; and wage-and-hour employment issues.
