NEWS RELEASE
MURPHY OIL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CLOSE OF MALAYSIA PORTFOLIO, EXECUTES $300 MILLION SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

EL DORADO, Arkansas, July 10, 2019 – Murphy Oil Corporation (NYSE: MUR) (“Murphy”) announced its subsidiary closed the sale to divest the fully issued share capital of the entities primarily conducting Murphy’s operations in Malaysia to a subsidiary of PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (“PTTEP”). The transaction was previously announced on March 21, 2019, with an effective economic valuation date of January 1, 2019. After closing adjustments, Murphy will receive proceeds of approximately US$2.035 billion, and expects to report a gain on the sale of approximately $1.0 billion. Murphy does not anticipate tax liabilities related to the transaction.
“We would like to congratulate PTTEP on the purchase of their new asset. As our talented and committed Malaysia team transitions to their new owner, I am confident they will diligently work to ensure continued success in the country. Also, I would like to thank our long-term partners PETRONAS, PETRONAS Carigali and Pertamina. They too have diligently worked to ensure our long-term success in the region,” stated Roger W.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM UPDATE
Murphy also announced today that it has completed $300 million in share repurchases as of the end of the second quarter, which is part of a previously authorized and disclosed $500 million program.

MURPHY OIL CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
On March 21, 2019, Murphy Oil Corporation announced that a subsidiary had signed a sale and purchase agreement to divest the fully issued share capital of its two primary Malaysian subsidiaries, Murphy Sabah Oil Co., Ltd. and Murphy Sarawak Oil Co., Ltd., to a subsidiary of PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP). PTTEP has paid Murphy $2.035 billion in an all-cash transaction at closing after customary closing adjustments. Up to $100 million bonus payment contingent upon certain future exploratory drilling results prior to October 2020 is payable.

The transaction has an effective date of January 1, 2019, and closed on July 10, 2019.
We derived the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for the respective periods.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 and three months ended March 31, 2019 give effect to the sale as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2016.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 gives effect to the sale as if the transaction occurred on March 31, 2019.
The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.  Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments related to the transaction are described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments reflected herein are based on management’s expectations regarding the transaction.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations of future periods or the results of operations that actually would have been realized had the transaction been consummated on the dates or for the periods presented.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should not be relied upon as an indication of operating results that the Company would have achieved if the transactions contemplated herein had taken place on the specified date. In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations and should not be relied on as an indication of the future results the Company will have after the completion of the transactions noted in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2019 and the unaudited March 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed May 2, 2019.
