Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 3, 2018, Mr. Michael E. J. Phelps, a member of Marathon Oil Corporation’s Board of Directors since January 2009, informed the Board that he will not be standing for re-election and his term as director will cease effective as of the date of the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 30, 2018. Mr. Phelps is leaving to pursue other opportunities and his decision not to stand for re-election is not a result of any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company thanks Mr. Phelps for his service.
The Board is not providing a substitute nominee, and any votes for Mr. Phelps on proxy cards will be disregarded. The Board anticipates reducing the size of the Board after the 2018 Annual Meeting.
