FT is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of XTO Energy Inc. (NYSE: XTO) arising from the Company's announcement of its intent to merge with Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM).

Under the terms of the proposed agreement, XTO shareholders will receive 0.7098 shares of Exxon stock for each share of XTO common stock owned. This consideration places a total transaction value of approximately $41 billion, including assumption of about $10 billion in XTO debt on the deal.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to XTO shareholders given the Company's substantial natural gas assets and the process by which the XTO Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
