Exxon Mobil is a publicly traded company whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol XOM. The company was formed in 1999 with a merger of Exxon, formerly Standard Oil of New Jersey, and Mobil, formerly Standard Oil of New York. It is the largest petrochemical company in the world, with extensive worldwide extraction and refining assets as well as distribution operations. Exxon Mobil is among the many leading companies offering a direct stock-purchase plan, popular among individuals with limited funds. The plan requires a small minimum investment and low transaction fees.

Step

Download copies of the Exxon Mobile DSPP brochure and enrollment form from ComputerShare.com. You may also request copies by calling ComputerShare at (800) 252-1800.

Step

Read the brochure, which discloses the terms of the Exxon Mobil direct stock-purchase program.

Step

Decide if you want to sign up for automatic debiting from your checking or savings account to make the required $250 initial investment in five installments of $50 per month.

Step

Choose the plan features you want. You can reinvest dividends at no charge or have them paid to you. You may set up the plan as a traditional or Roth IRA or a Coverdell Educational Savings Account.

Step

Fill out and attach a W8-BEN form, available from ComputerShare, if you are opening the DSPP as a custodial account for a child.

Step

Mail the enrollment form with a check or money order for your initial investment--or first month's installment if you chose automatic investing--to the address on the form.
