On
May 23, 2009, United States President Barack Obama nominated Gen. Charles F.
Bolden, Jr., a current director of Marathon Oil Corporation, to serve as
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”)
Administrator.
On
May 27, 2009, Gen. Bolden notified Marathon that, if his nomination to serve as
NASA Administrator is confirmed by the United States Senate, he would accept the
position and would resign his directorship and all committee appointments with
Marathon. Gen. Bolden currently serves on Marathon’s Audit and
Finance Committee, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and Public
Policy Committee. The schedule for the confirmation process with
respect to his nomination has not been publicly announced. Gen.
Bolden’s notice of intent to resign to accept the position of NASA Administrator
did not arise from any disagreement with Marathon on any matter relating to
Marathon's operations, policies or practices.
