Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers


(e)  On November 28, 2012, the Compensation Committee of Exxon Mobil Corporation (the "Corporation" or "ExxonMobil") established a total ceiling of $266 million in respect of 2012 under the Corporation's Short Term Incentive Program, of which bonuses were granted to certain officers as follows:


R. W. Tillerson:

$4,587,000

D. D. Humphreys:

$3,144,000

M. W. Albers:

$2,345,000

M. J. Dolan:

$2,527,000

S. D. Pryor:

$2,001,000


Approximately 50 percent of the bonus will be paid to the executive in cash by year-end and the remaining 50 percent of the bonus will be paid on a delayed basis through the use of earnings bonus units ("EBUs").  Each EBU entitles the executive to receive an amount in cash equal to ExxonMobil's cumulative earnings per common share (assuming dilution) as reported each quarter beginning after the grant.  Payout occurs on the date of publication of the Corporation's quarterly earnings statement as initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the twelfth (12th) full quarter following the date of grant, or when the maximum settlement value of $6.25 per unit is reached, if earlier. Under the terms of the Short Term Incentive Program, in the event of a material negative restatement of results bonus awards paid on the basis of such results are subject to recoupment.  The form of EBU instrument used for settlement of 2012 bonuses is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.


The Committee also established a total ceiling of 11 million shares in respect of 2012 to be available for grant under the Corporation's 2003 Incentive Program, of which performance stock awards in the form of restricted stock were granted to certain officers as follows:


R. W. Tillerson:

225,000

shares

D. D. Humphreys:

124,000

shares

M. W. Albers:

90,800

shares

M. J. Dolan:

98,600

shares

S. D. Pryor:

77,000

shares


These restricted shares may not be sold (i) for half the shares, until five years after grant, and (ii) for the balance of the shares, until 10 years after grant or until retirement, whichever occurs later.  These restricted periods may not be accelerated except in case of death.  During the restricted period, shares may not be transferred and are subject to forfeiture.  Potential events of forfeiture include early termination of employment or detrimental activity.  Examples of detrimental activity could include violating ExxonMobil's ethics policies or going to work for a competitor.  During the restricted period the holder of restricted stock is otherwise generally treated as a registered shareholder with the right to receive dividends and vote the shares.  The form of terms of the 2012 restricted stock agreements with executive officers is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.


For additional information concerning the Short Term Incentive Program and 2003 Incentive Program, see the Corporation's Proxy Statement dated April 12, 2012.
