EXHIBIT 99.1
TEXACO INC. ANNOUNCES STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
----------------------------------------------
FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1995.
- --------------------------------------
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 27 - Texaco Inc. announced today that its Board
of Directors has approved the repurchase of up to $500 million of its common
stock through open market or privately negotiated transactions. Subject to
market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements, the stock repurchase
program is expected to be completed around the second quarter of 1997.
In 1994 Texaco announced its plan for growth, a strategic program
designed to move the company toward first quartile competitive performance and
double 1994 earnings before the end of the decade.
Alfred C. DeCrane, Jr., Texaco's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer commented that, "The momentum that we have established in our plan for
growth will provide the resources to execute a strong investment program while,
at the same time, further enhance shareholder value with this repurchase
program. Our solid financial position and positive outlook for operational
performance and earnings improvement support our conviction that the buyback
represents an excellent return for Texaco."
