Explanatory Note
On July 1, 2026, Exxon Mobil Corporation, a New Jersey corporation and the predecessor registrant (“ExxonMobil”), completed its previously announced redomiciliation reorganization (the “Redomiciliation Merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 8, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among ExxonMobil, ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation, a Texas corporation, and Ensign LLC, a Texas limited liability company. This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed for the purpose of establishing ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation as the successor registrant of ExxonMobil’s common stock pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and to disclose certain related matters. The Redomiciliation Merger became effective on July 1, 2026 in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Time”).
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Annex A to the proxy statement included in ExxonMobil’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on April 8, 2026.
| Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Upon the consummation of the Redomiciliation Merger and pursuant to the terms of the indenture, dated as of March 20, 2014, between ExxonMobil and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”), ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation, ExxonMobil and the Trustee entered into a second supplemental indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”) pursuant to which ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, all of ExxonMobil’s payment and performance obligations under the Indenture and the notes issued thereunder (collectively, the “Notes”).
ExxonMobil remains the primary obligor under the Indenture and the Notes, and the Notes continue to be the senior unsecured obligations of ExxonMobil.
The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4(i) hereto.
| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth in the Explanatory Note and the last paragraph of Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, without par value, of ExxonMobil (“ExxonMobil Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury shares, which were cancelled) was automatically exchanged for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (“ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation Common Stock”), and, as a result, the former shareholders of ExxonMobil automatically became shareholders of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation, holding the same number and percentage of shares of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation Common Stock as they held of ExxonMobil Common Stock immediately prior to the Redomiciliation Merger. ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation replaced ExxonMobil as the publicly held corporation traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). It is currently expected that, on July 2, 2026, shares of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation Common Stock will commence trading under the current ExxonMobil ticker symbol “XOM” on the NYSE.
As of the Effective Time, the rights of shareholders of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation are governed by the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”) and by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation and the ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation By-Laws, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3(i) and 3(ii), respectively, hereto.

Upon completion of the Redomiciliation Merger, ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation Common Stock was deemed to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated thereunder. ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation is also deemed to be the successor registrant of ExxonMobil Common Stock pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act.
The directors and executive officers of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation, effective upon approval of the Redomiciliation Merger by the ExxonMobil shareholders, are the same individuals who were directors and executive officers, respectively, of ExxonMobil as of immediately prior to the Redomiciliation Merger, each holding the same position at ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation that such individual held at ExxonMobil. See Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K for additional information.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Annex A to the proxy statement included in ExxonMobil’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on April 8, 2026.
| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |

Effective upon approval of the Redomiciliation Merger by the ExxonMobil shareholders on May 27, 2026, the directors and executive officers of ExxonMobil were appointed to the same respective positions with respect to ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation.
Pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement, the following persons, each of whom served as a director of ExxonMobil, were elected as directors of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation, in each case to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal:
| Darren W. Woods | Michael J. Angelakis | |

Each such director was appointed to serve on the same committees of the board of directors of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation as such director had served on the board of directors of ExxonMobil.
Pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement, each person who was an officer of ExxonMobil was appointed to hold the same position with ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation that such officer held at ExxonMobil. Information required under Item 401(b) and (e) of Regulation S-K regarding the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer is set forth in ExxonMobil’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, at the Effective Time, each of the Exxon Mobil Corporation 2003 Incentive Program, the Exxon Mobil Corporation 2004 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan, and the Pioneer Natural Resources Company Second Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “ExxonMobil Equity Plans”) were assumed by ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation and each outstanding award under the ExxonMobil Equity Plans (each, an “ExxonMobil Equity Award”) was automatically exchanged into a corresponding award of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation Common Stock equal to the number of shares of ExxonMobil Common Stock subject to such ExxonMobil Equity Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. All such ExxonMobil Equity Awards continue to have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to, as applicable, exercisability, vesting and forfeiture (including performance vesting criteria), form of settlement and dividend equivalent rights) as applied immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as adjusted pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
| Item 5.03 | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws. |
On July 1, 2026, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Formation of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation (the “Certificate of Formation”), as set forth as an exhibit hereto, and the ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), as set forth as an exhibit hereto, became the governing constituent documents of the publicly held parent corporation of the ExxonMobil group.
A summary description of the material terms of the Certificate of Formation and the By-Laws, including a comparison of the rights of shareholders of ExxonMobil Holdings Corporation under the TBOC and the Certificate of Formation and the By-Laws against the rights of shareholders of ExxonMobil under the New Jersey Business Corporation Act and ExxonMobil’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws prior to the Redomiciliation Merger, was included under the heading “Comparison of the New Jersey Charter and New Jersey By-Laws and the Texas Charter and Texas By-Laws” in ExxonMobil’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on April 8, 2026, and that description is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing descriptions of the Certificate of Formation and the By-Laws are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to their full texts, which are filed as Exhibits 3(i) and 3(ii), respectively, hereto.
