US EditionExxon looks to ditch New Jersey incorporation for Texas homecoming
Exxon aims to strengthen defenses against activist shareholders and climate advocates by aligning its legal domicile with Texas, where 40% of shares are held by individuals, the company said.
- On March 10, Exxon Mobil filed a proxy asking shareholders to approve abandoning its New Jersey registration and reincorporating in Texas, where its headquarters are located.
- The company argues the change will help bolster defenses against activist shareholders and climate advocates, citing last year’s Texas law enhancing business legal protections.
- Exxon, headquartered in Spring, Texas, traces its roots to New Jersey and introduced a retail voting program in September, with nearly 40% of shares held by individuals.
- If approved, Exxon would join SpaceX, Tesla and Coinbase in Texas, reducing shareholder litigation risks under recent state rules and benefiting from Texas officials' familiarity with its operations.
- Broader trends show Texas has benefited as some firms left Delaware, while New Jersey officials sued Exxon and Chevron in 2022—a suit dismissed last year.
