On December 6, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”) approved, among other things, amendments to the Chevron Corporation Change In Control Surplus Employee Severance Program For Salary Grades 41 and Above (renamed the Chevron Corporation Change In Control Surplus Employee Severance Program For Salary Grades 41 Through 43 (“CIC SESP”)), Chevron Corporation Benefit Protection Program (“BPP”), Management Incentive Plan of Chevron Corporation (“MIP”), and Chevron Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) to eliminate benefits for certain senior executive officers in the event of a change in control, including eliminating severance payments to senior executive officers in salary grades 44 and above by removing such officers from the coverage of the CIC SESP, removing the required payment of a minimum bonus under the MIP, removing the requirement that the modifier for all performance shares outstanding on the date of the change in control be the greater of 100% or the modifier determined in the usual manner under the LTIP, and removing the tax gross-up provision under the BPP, and other technical and conforming changes. The changes are applicable to eligible senior executives in salary grades 44 and above and are not applicable to the broad-based employee population. In addition, the Board approved amendments to the MIP, LTIP and Chevron Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), as well as other technical and conforming changes, and froze, as of January 1, 2005, the Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees (“DCP”) and adopted a new Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees II, effective as of January 1, 2005, which is identical to the DCP, except as modified to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC. Each of the foregoing plans is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
