Annual Meeting Website Welcome Video by
Ryan Lance, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
ConocoPhillips
Hello, Im Ryan Lance, Chairman and CEO of ConocoPhillips. Welcome to our annual meeting of stockholders website.
This site was developed to provide our stockholders with clear and concise information. We hope youll use it to learn more about our company, vote your proxy and listen to the live audio webcast of our annual meeting on Tuesday, May 10th.
The 2016 Proxy Statement details the matters to be discussed at the meeting. It also provides further information on ConocoPhillips, our senior leadership, policies and the measures we take to provide shareholders with good corporate governance.
Whether or not you plan to attend our annual meeting, please make sure that your shares are represented and voted. This website provides a voting link to easily register your votes before the meeting. I encourage you to do so as soon as possible.
For the past 18 months, our industry has faced significant challenges from a historic downturn in oil and natural gas prices. We have taken numerous actions to address the weak environment, which have focused on protecting our balance sheet and our asset base without compromising safety. Our actions have included exercising capital flexibility, lowering our cost structure, driving efficiency by streamlining our organization, selling non-core assets, reducing our dividend and issuing prudent levels of debt.
In an industry where we cant control prices, its essential that we focus on the factors we can control, and thats how we have responded. We dont know when a recovery will occur, but when it does, we believe ConocoPhillips will be in an advantaged position because of our high-quality portfolio and our focus on preserving our financial strength.
I invite you to attend our annual meeting in person to learn more about our 2015 performance and future plans. The annual meeting will take place at the Omni Houston Hotel at Westside on Tuesday, May 10th, 2016, at 9 a.m. Central Time. Youll find the hotels address and directions on this site.
If you cannot attend, I encourage you to listen to the live audio webcast, which will also be available on this website. Your vote is very important to us, and to our business. Please cast your vote to ensure your shares are represented. Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in ConocoPhillips.
