Hedge Funds Happy Hour (http://www.HFHappyHour.com), February 15, 2012, Will Bring Together
a Who’s Who of the Alternative Investments World, for an Evening of Networking and Cocktails, at
Café China, New York City
(January 20, 2012, New York) As reported by Bloomberg upon Jana Partners taking a 5.5% position in
Marathon Petroleum, analysts including Deutsche Bank AG’s Paul Sankey have suggested that the refining
company should create a master limited partnership that would hold some or all of its 9,600 miles (15,450
kilometers) of pipelines and related assets. Such partnerships, which are traded on exchanges, allow companies
to distribute cash generated by certain assets to shareholders without having to pay corporate taxes on the
income, Eliecer Palacios, an energy sector specialist with Maxim Group LLC, said in a telephone interview.

options, of Findlay, Ohio-based Marathon, valued at $636 million, according to a regulatory filing. Jana leaders
have held talks with Marathon’s management about the company’s business strategy, assets and related matters,

discussions with company leaders and board members, according to the filing.
