ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
The Common Stock of Chevron Corporation is registered under Section 12 of
the Exchange Act, and accordingly, no description is provided hereunder.
The Chevron Corporation Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is an
unfunded deferred compensation plan. The securities to be issued under the Plan
constitute general obligations of the Registrant and will be offered to eligible
Plan participants ("Eligible Employees") as described below. An aggregate
principal amount of $150,000,000 is being registered under the Plan. Further
amounts
-2-
<PAGE>
may be registered and issued as new or existing Plan participants elect to defer
portions of their compensation in subsequent years.
Eligible Employees are eligible for designation as participants by the
Management Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant
(the "Committee") or any successor thereto. Eligible Employees include regular
salaried employees, including directors, officers and other individuals serving
in important executive, administrative, professional or technical capacities, as
determined by the Committee, who have been on the payroll of the Registrant or
the payroll of a Participating Affiliate at any time during the year. For this
purpose, the term "Participating Affiliate" means any corporation in which the
Registrant holds directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting securities
and whose financial accounts are consolidated with those of the Registrant in
the financial statement included in the Annual Report to Stockholders.
Awards under the Plan are determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. After the close of each calendar year (an "Award Year"), the
Committee determines the dollar amount of the Award to be made to each Eligible
Employee whom the Committee selects to be an Award recipient for that Award
Year.
Awards to Named Executive Officers are subject to certain limitations. A
certain percentage of the Registrant's annual income will be set aside for
Awards to Named Executive Officers. "Named Executive Officers" are those
Eligible Employees who, as of the date of the close of the Award Year, are one
of a group of "covered employees," as defined in the regulations under section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Committee in its
sole discretion may reduce the Award otherwise payable to any Named Executive
Officer, but in no event may any such reduction result in an increase of the
Award payable to any other participant, including, but not limited to, any other
Named Executive Officer.
Awards will be made in any of the following forms or in any combination
of forms as determined by the Committee: (i) units representing shares of
Common Stock of the Registrant, together with dividend equivalents; (ii) cash;
or (iii) shares of Common Stock of the Registrant. After the close of each
Award Year, the Committee shall determine the dollar amount of the Award to be
made to each Eligible Employee whom the Committee selects to be an Award
recipient for the Award Year. An Eligible Employee may elect to defer all or a
portion of his Award that may be granted for an Award Year, in 25% increments (a
"Deferral Election").
The Registrant will maintain a Deferral Account for each Eligible Employee.
All of the Eligible Employee's Award deferrals will be credited to this Account.
The Deferral Accounts are bookkeeping entries only; no assets of the Registrant
have been set aside to fund the Registrant's obligations under the Plans. The
Deferral Accounts do not give a participant any interest in or claim to any
specific asset of the Registrant, nor shall they be deemed to create a trust for
the benefit of the participant.
In the case of a Deferral Election, the value of the deferred portion of
his Award will be determined by crediting the Deferral Account with such
earnings, gains and losses as would have accrued to the Eligible Employee's
Deferral Account had such funds actually been invested in one or more of the
Investment Funds maintained in the Registrant's Profit Sharing/Savings Plan.
Such investment election may be made in whole percentages totaling 100%. Awards
that are not subject to a Deferral Election are distributed in cash. At any
time prior to termination of employment, a participant may make a request for an
alternative distribution in a lump sum or in annual installments. In the event
of a participant's death, Plan benefits will be distributed in the form and at
the time designated by the participants's prior valid Deferral Election selected
from the payment options offered by the Plan. In the case of undue hardship for
a participant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct payment to a
participant of all or any portion of any amounts deferred.
-3-
<PAGE>
Amounts paid under the Plan will be paid, subject to the determination of
the Committee and to the Eligible Employee's Deferral Election, either from the
general funds of the Registrant or in shares of Common Stock of the Registrant,
and each participant and his beneficiaries have the status of unsecured general
creditors of the Registrant with no special or prior right to any assets of the
Registrant for payment of any obligations under the Plan. Except as otherwise
provided by law, Plan benefits are not assignable, may not be used as security
for loans or otherwise alienated and are exempt from the claims of participants'
creditors and other claimants. Under the Plan, there is no limitation on the
Registrant's right to issue senior debt or other securities. No events of
default exist under the Plan nor is any absence of default evidence required.
The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan.
However, any amendment of the Plan will be subject to the approval of the
Registrant's stockholders to the extent required by applicable law, regulations
or rules. No Awards will be made under the Plan after its termination, but the
termination of the Plan will not affect any previously granted Award. The Plan
will remain in effect until it is terminated.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article IX of Chevron's restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as
follows:
"1. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (c) pursuant to section 174 of the Corporation Law; or (d) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
2. To the fullest extent authorized by the Corporation Law, the
Corporation shall indemnify any Corporate Servant who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such
person was or is a Corporate Servant.
3. In serving or continuing to serve the Corporation, a Corporate Servant
is entitled to rely and shall be presumed to have relied on the rights granted
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, which shall be
enforceable as contract rights and inure to the benefit of heirs, executors and
administrators of the Corporate Servant; and no repeal or modification of the
foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall adversely affect any right
existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
4. The Board of Directors is authorized, to the extent permitted by the
Corporation Law, to cause the Corporation to pay expenses incurred by Corporate
Servants in defendant Proceedings and to purchase and maintain insurance on
their behalf whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify
them under the provisions of this Article IX or otherwise.
5. Any right or privilege conferred by or pursuant to the provisions of
this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any
Corporate Servant may otherwise be entitled.
6. As used in this Article IX:
-4-
<PAGE>
(a) `Corporate Servant' means any natural person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, manager, partner,
trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other organization or enterprise, nonprofit or otherwise, including an
employee benefit plan;
(b) `Corporation Law' means the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware, as from time to time amended;
(c) `Indemnify' means to hold harmless against expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed with respect
to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the Corporate Servant in connection with a Proceeding;
(d) `Proceeding' means any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative; and
(e) `Request of the Corporation' includes any written authorization by
an officer of the Corporation."
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
in which Chevron is incorporated, permits, subject to certain conditions, the
indemnification of directors or officers of a Delaware corporation for expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in
relation to certain matters against them as such directors or officers.
The directors and officers of Chevron are covered by policies of
insurance under which they are insured, within limits and subject to
limitations, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions,
suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result
of such actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of
being or having been directors or officers; Chevron is similarly insured with
respect to certain payments it might be required to make to its directors or
officers under the applicable statutes and Chevron's by-law provisions.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
See Index to Exhibits.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of
the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(A) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
-5-
<PAGE>
(B) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(C) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B) do not apply if
-----------------
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
