Hess Corporation Makes Application to Cease to Be a Reporting Issuer in Canada

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) (“Hess“) announced today that
it has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC“)
to cease to be a reporting issuer in Ontario (the “Order“).
Hess has not been listed on a Canadian stock exchange for twenty years,
and is not a reporting issuer in any other Canadian jurisdiction.

Canada but will continue to file all financial statements and other
continuous disclosure materials that it is required to file in
accordance with applicable United States’ securities laws and the rules
of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE“). As a result of
Hess ceasing to be a reporting issuer, some of Hess’s outstanding
securities may be subject to resale restrictions within Canada under
applicable Canadian securities laws.

All of Hess’s continuous disclosure documents are publicly available
from the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov
and Hess’s Canadian securityholders will continue to receive copies of
any continuous disclosure documents that Hess is required to deliver to
securityholders in the United States, in the same manner and at the same
time as is required under applicable United States’ securities laws and
the rules of the NYSE.
