employee voting for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders

Chevron’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Annual Meeting”) will be held solely by live audio webcast in lieu of an in-person meeting, at 8:00 a.m. PDT on Wednesday, May 26, 2021. The Board believes this format will enhance and facilitate attendance by providing convenient access for all of our stockholders. In addition, this meeting format will eliminate public health concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant costs associated with holding an in-person meeting. We have planned and designed the Annual Meeting to encourage stockholder participation, protect stockholder rights, and promote transparency.

On or around Monday, April 12, Chevron employees who hold Chevron common stock through an employee stock or retirement benefit plan and who have a Chevron-issued email address will be sent an email with instructions for voting their shares online and links to the Notice of the 2021 Annual Meeting, the 2021 Proxy Statement, and the 2020 Annual Report. Such employees who do not receive an email will receive the information through the mail or at the employee’s personal email address if the employee has elected to receive communications at a personal email address. Time of delivery of mail will vary based on geographic location. When you receive the Annual Meeting materials in April electronically or by mail, please make sure to keep a copy of the materials and the 16-digit control number provided on the materials (email, voting instruction form, proxy card, or notice regarding the availability of proxy materials), if you wish to cast your vote at a later time or would like to listen and/or participate in the Annual Meeting in May.

The Proxy Statement and Annual Report are also now available electronically on www.chevron.com/investors/stockholder-services and can be accessed, viewed, and printed at your convenience. The Proxy Statement includes important information on matters that will be voted on at the meeting.

You will be voting to elect members of Chevron’s Board of Directors; to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Chevron’s named executive officers; and on six stockholder proposals.

Electronic delivery of the proxy materials saves natural resources, in addition to saving the Company printing and delivery costs. However, if you wish to receive a paper copy of the Proxy Statement or Annual Report, you may submit a request indicating the item(s) you wish to receive, along with your name and intercompany mailing address, to corpgov@chevron.com.

voting convenience

Employee stockholders will have the ease of voting their proxies online or through a telephone voting service using your 16-digit control number. Please vote. Your vote is important.

voting is confidential

All voting tabulations and results are handled by an independent third party. Chevron does not have access to individual votes, and the process is completely confidential.

voting deadline

Once you have received the proxy voting email or proxy materials, you may vote using your 16-digit control number. You must vote your shares held in an employee stock or retirement benefit plan no later than 11:59 p.m. EDT on Sunday, May 23, or such other date and time as determined by the plan fiduciary or trustee.
