Exxon Mobil has no knowledge of any illegal payments made to Kazakh officials. |
Our feeling on this is that based on our ongoing discussion with the commission, we expect the FTC to complete its review soon. It's taken some time, but we understood a merger of this scope would receive extensive review. |
We're aware of the U.S. government's investigation. Mobil was aware of the U.S. sanctions against Iran and it abided by the applicable laws. Exxon Mobil is not aware of any evidence establishing that Mobil participated in prohibited activity between Kazakhstan and Iran. |
We're filing the suit to make sure our interests are protected. We have no intention to interfere with or delay the pending transaction between BP Amoco and Arco. |
