With respect to each contract, agreement or other document referred to
herein and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to
this report, reference is made to the exhibit for a more complete description of
the matter involved, and each such statement shall be deemed qualified in its
entirety by such reference.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Statement relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the
"Common Stock") of Rutherford-Moran Oil Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer" or "Rutherford-Moran"), whose principal executive offices are located
at 5 Greenway Plaza, Suite 220, Houston, Texas 77046.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
(a, b, c and f) This Statement is being filed by Chevron Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Reporting Person") and Chevron Thailand Inc., a Delaware
Corporation ("Chevron Sub"). The principal office of the Reporting Person and
Chevron Sub is 575 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
The principal business of the Reporting Person is to provide
administrative, financial and management support for, and manage its investments
in, United States and foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which engage in fully
integrated petroleum operations, chemical operations and coal mining. The
Reporting Person operates in the United States and approximately 90 other
countries. Chevron Sub is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person,
incorporated in Delaware on December 23, 1998 for the sole purpose of effecting
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as described in Item 4).
Schedules I and II which are attached hereto and incorporated herein in
their entirety by reference, set forth the name, residence or business address,
citizenship and certain employment information of each of the executive officers
and directors of the Reporting Person and Chevron Sub.
(d) Neither the Reporting Person, nor Chevron Sub, nor to the best
knowledge of either the Reporting Person or Chevron Sub, any entity or person
with respect to which information is provided in response to this Item 2 has,
during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) Neither the Reporting Person, nor Chevron Sub, nor to the best
knowledge of either the Reporting Person or Chevron Sub, any entity or person
with respect to which information is provided in response to this Item has,
during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Under both the Merger Agreement and the Option and Voting Agreement, the
consideration is to be shares of common stock of the Reporting Person, as
described in Item 4.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
----------------------------
On December 23, 1998, the Reporting Person, Chevron Sub and
Rutherford-Moran entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger
Agreement") whereby Chevron Sub will be merged (the "Merger") with and into
Rutherford-Moran in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
from time to time ("Delaware Law"). Portions of the Merger Agreement were
subject to approval of the Board of Directors of Chevron. Such approval was
obtained on January 27, 1999. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit
1 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Option and Voting Agreement
---------------------------
In connection with the Merger, certain stockholders of Rutherford-Moran
(the "Principal Stockholders") entered into an Option and Voting Agreement
("Option and Voting Agreement") dated December 23, 1998 with the Reporting
Person. Such holders own approximately 75.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of
Rutherford-Moran.
Each Principal Stockholder has granted to the Reporting Person an option to
purchase the shares of Rutherford-Moran Common Stock beneficially owned by such
stockholder (the "Subject Shares") (each an "Option" and, collectively, the
"Options") for approximately $3.50 worth of common stock of the Reporting Person
per share of Rutherford-Moran Common Stock. The exercise price of the Option for
each Subject Share equals that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of
the Reporting Person common stock equal to the Option Exchange Ratio (as
hereinafter defined) divided by the Average Closing Price (the "Option Per Share
Consideration"). "Option Exchange Ratio" equals the result obtained by dividing
a numerator equal to the sum of (a) $91,000,000, (b) the amount of cash, if any,
received by Rutherford-Moran in consideration of the issuance of its equity
securities after December 23, 1998 and before the date on which the Reporting
Person exercises the Options (the "Option Exercise Date"), (c) an amount equal
to the value, if any, as agreed by Rutherford-Moran and the Reporting Person, of
any non-cash consideration received by Rutherford-Moran in consideration of its
equity securities after December 23, 1998 and before the Option Exercise Date,
and (d) the cash consideration projected to be received by Rutherford-Moran in
exchange for the expected issuance of equity securities pursuant to then
existing contractual commitments and based on an exercise price equal to or less
than the consideration to be received per share of Rutherford-Moran Common Stock
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, by a denominator equal to the sum of (y) the
number of shares of Rutherford-Moran Common Stock issued and outstanding on the
Option Exercise Date and (z) the number of shares of Rutherford-Moran Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding warrants or options to acquire
Rutherford-Moran Common Stock which have an exercise price equal to or less than
the consideration to be received per share of Rutherford-Moran Common Stock
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, assuming, for the purpose of this calculation
only, that the Effective Time of the Merger is the same date as the Option
Exercise Date. The Reporting Person may exercise the options with respect to
all, but not less than all, of the Subject Shares. The Options remain
exercisable until June 1, 1999. Chevron has recently been advised by counsel
that such options are currently exercisable, as the acquisition of the shares
would qualify for an exemption from the notification requirements under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act.
Further, each of the Principal Stockholders has agreed to vote their
Subject Shares at any meeting of Rutherford-Moran's stockholders called to vote
upon the Merger Agreement (or in any other circumstances upon which a vote,
consent or other approval, including a written consent, with respect to the
Merger Agreement is sought) (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the
Merger Agreement, and (b) against (1) any merger, consolidation, business
combination, sale of substantially all assets, recapitalization, liquidation or
similar transaction involving Rutherford-Moran, other than the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (each an "Other Proposal"), and (2) any
amendment of Rutherford-Moran's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other
proposal would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent, delay or nullify the
Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of capital
stock of Rutherford-Moran. Upon the Reporting Person's or
-5-
<PAGE>
Chevron Sub's request, each Principal Stockholder has agreed to irrevocably
grant to and to appoint the Reporting Person and Chevron Sub, and each of them,
and any person designated by either of them as permitted under applicable law,
the stockholder's proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote the Subject Shares or grant
a consent or approval in respect of the Subject Shares, in favor of or against,
as the case may be, the matters described above and to execute and deliver an
appropriate instrument irrevocably granting such proxy. The proxy so granted
will terminate upon any termination of the Option and Voting Agreement in
accordance with its terms.
Each Principal Stockholder has further agreed not to (a) transfer, sell,
pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) any of the Subject
Shares to any person except pursuant to the Option and Voting Agreement, or
(b) enter into any voting arrangement in connection with any Other Proposal.
It is the intention of Reporting Person to cause the registration of the
Common Stock of Rutherford- Moran to cease upon the acquisition of all the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Rutherford-Moran by the Reporting Person
pursuant to the Merger.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer deemed to
be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person pursuant to the Option and Voting
Agreement is 19,223,201 shares, which represents approximately 75.1% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
Chevron Sub does not own any shares of the Issuer directly, but may be
deemed to share beneficial ownership of all the shares of Common Stock deemed
owned by the Reporting Person by virtue of the grant of irrevocable proxies with
respect to such shares of Common Stock under the Option and Voting Agreement
described in Item 4.
(b) The Reporting Person and Chevron Sub have the right to direct the vote
of the 19,223,201 shares of Common Stock with respect to the Merger, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Option and Voting
Agreement.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) Except as described above, no other person is known to have the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds
from the sale of such shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting
Person or Chevron Sub.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
On December 23, 1998, the Reporting Person, Chevron Sub and
Rutherford-Moran entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby Chevron
Sub will be merged with and into Rutherford-Moran in accordance with Delaware
Law. (See Item 4, which is incorporated herein by reference.)
On December 23, 1998 the Reporting Person also entered into the Option and
Voting Agreement. (See Item 4).
Copies of the Merger Agreement and the Option and Voting Agreement are
filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by
reference to filings made by the Issuer.
At present, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings, or
relationships with respect to securities of the Issuer involving the Reporting
Person or Chevron Sub.
