EXXON SUES TO PREVENT CLIMATE PROPOSAL FROM SHAREHOLDER VOTE

The complaint, filed in a U.S. District Court in Texas, said a proposal by
activist investors calling for the oil giant to cut emissions faster would not
create shareholder value.

Exxon Mobil is suing two activist investors to prevent their proposal calling
for emissions cuts at the oil giant from coming to a vote of shareholders.

In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas
on Sunday, Exxon accused the investors, Arjuna Capital and Follow This, of
abusing the process for proposing shareholder votes to advance their priorities
with votes “calculated to diminish the company’s existing business.”

Arjuna filed a proposal in December for a nonbinding resolution that urged Exxon
to accelerate its plans to reduce its carbon emissions and expand the scope of
the emissions it measures to include its suppliers and customers. Follow This
joined in support of the proposal shortly thereafter, according to the
complaint.
