I am responding to you because Ms . Crosnier de Bellaistre has requested that all correspondence on this matter be directed to you. The Episcopal Church's shareholder proposal requests that Marathon's board of directors review and amend Marathon's policies with regards to human rights, with a summary of such review to be prepared and posted on Marathon 's website by October 2013. As you may be aware, Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 sets forth certain eligibility and procedural requirements that must be met in order to properly submit a shareholder proposal to Marathon. This letter serves as notification that Ms. Crosnier de Bellaistre's November 14th letter, which was received by Marathon by facsimile on November 14th, does not meet all of the eligibility and procedural requirements of Rule 14a-8. Specifically, according to Rule 14a-8(b)(1 ), in order for us to consider the Episcopal Church's resolution, the Episcopal Church must demonstrate to us that, as of November 14, 2012, it continuously held at least $2,000 in market value, or 1%, of the shares entitled to be voted on the reso lution at Marathon's 2013 annual meeting of shareholders for at least one year. Ms. Crosnier de Bellaistre's letter dated November 14, 2012, states, in part, that ownership in Marathon's stock will be held until after the annual meeting. Additionally, it
