Identification and Classification of Members of the Group - ------- --------------------------------------------------------- My personal beneficial ownership and my ownership as trustee is reported in Item 4 above. Certain members of my extended family also own shares of Common Stock. Some of these family members have been collectively referred to for many years as the "controlling persons" of Murphy Oil Corporation. The most recent proxy statement for Murphy Oil Corporation states that such controlling persons, including myself, directly or indirectly own in the aggregate approximately 25% of the outstanding Common Stock. I am advised that it is unclear whether we, together with members of our families, constitute a "group" for the purpose of filing this Schedule. SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct. /s/ C.H. Murphy, Jr. --------------------------------- C. H. Murphy, Jr. Dated: February 14, 1997. -------------
