EXPLANATORY NOTE

     ConocoPhillips (the “Registrant”) filed (i) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 on June 4, 2004 (Registration No. 333-116216) (the “Registration Statement”); (ii) a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 on April 26, 2005; and (iii) a Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 on May 18, 2009; to register shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for issuance pursuant to the 2004 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan of ConocoPhillips, the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan, and the ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan.

     Since the filing of the Registration Statement, the ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan has been merged with and into the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan. As a result, the ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan is no longer in existence and annual reports will no longer be filed for such plan. Annual reports will continue to be filed for the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan, the successor plan to the ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan.

     In accordance with the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512 of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement is being filed to deregister and remove all of the previously registered shares of Common Stock issuable under the ConocoPhillips Store Savings Plan that remain unissued and unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement otherwise continues in effect as to the shares of Common Stock remaining available for offer or sale under the 2004 Omnibus Stock and Performance Incentive Plan and the ConocoPhillips Savings Plan pursuant to the Registration Statement.
