On May 29, 2013, the Board of Directors of Marathon Oil Corporation (the “Company”), acting upon the recommendation of its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, amended the Company's By-laws (“By-laws”). The amendments were effective May 29, 2013. Article II, Section 2.12 was added to address disqualification of directors and former Section 2.12 addressing Board Committees was renumbered to be Section 2.13. Article II, Section 2.12 of the By-laws provides, in part, that no person shall qualify for service as a director of the Company if he or she is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Company, or has received any such compensation or other payment from any person or entity other than the Company, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Company. The foregoing is merely a summary of the amendments to the By-laws and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete amendments to Sections 2.12 and 2.13 of the By-laws, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
