Nexen's "ReachOut" program brings a renewed strategic vision to our work in the community. The ReachOut program focuses on three key areas:

• Giving – We support communities where we live and work through meaningful corporate gifts.
• Matching – We match charitable contributions made by our employees in Canada, the U.S. and UK, up to $20,000 per employee, per year.
• Helping – We build employee engagement and stronger communities through volunteering.

In 2010, Nexen invested $11.4 million through this program to registered charities and not-for-profit charitable organizations in Canada as well as social investment projects internationally.
