SAN ANTONIO, TX -
September 24, 2018 - Stockholders of both Andeavor (NYSE: ANDV)
and Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) today voted to
approve the merger of MPC and Andeavor. At separate special
stockholders' meetings, Andeavor stockholders approved the adoption
of the previously disclosed agreement and plan of merger, and MPC
stockholders approved the issuance of shares of MPC common stock in
connection with the merger.
Andeavor's proposal to approve the
transaction was supported by approximately 99 percent of votes
cast, representing approximately 74 percent of Andeavor's
outstanding shares. MPC's proposal to issue shares in connection
with the transaction was supported by approximately 98 percent of
votes cast, representing approximately 73 percent of MPC's
outstanding shares.
Also at the Andeavor special
meeting, Andeavor stockholders approved, among other things, on a
non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that may be paid
or become payable to Andeavor's named executive officers in
connection with the merger.
This satisfies one of the final
conditions to the closing of the pending merger. MPC and Andeavor
therefore expect the closing of the merger to occur on October 1,
2018, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining
customary conditions to closing.
Announcement of
the Election Deadline
In light of the expected closing of the merger, MPC, with
Andeavor's consent, has publicly announced that the "Election
Deadline" (as defined in the election materials previously provided
to Andeavor stockholders of record and in the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of April 29, 2018, as amended, by and among
Andeavor, MPC, Mahi Inc. and Mahi LLC) for Andeavor stockholders of
record to make their elections with respect to the merger
consideration payable upon the closing of the merger shall be 5:00
p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 27, 2018, unless otherwise
extended by MPC by subsequent public announcement. Andeavor
stockholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other

their brokers, banks or other nominees. Andeavor stockholders bear
the risk of ensuring proper and timely delivery of their election

which are beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results may
differ materially from the future performance that we have
expressed or forecast in our forward-looking statements. We
undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements
except to the extent required by applicable law.
