Item 1. Security and Issuer.
The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the
common stock, $0.75 par value per share (the "Shares"), of Chevron Corporation,
a Delaware corporation ("Chevron"). The principal executive offices of Chevron
are located at 575 Market Street, San Francisco, California, 94105.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This statement is being filed by Texaco Inc. ("Texaco"), a Delaware
corporation. The principal executive offices of Texaco are located at 2000
Westchester Avenue, White Plains, New York 10650. Texaco and its subsidiary
companies, together with affiliates owned 50% or less, represent a vertically
integrated enterprise principally engaged in the worldwide exploration for and
production, transportation, refining and marketing of crude oil, natural gas
liquids, natural gas and petroleum products, power generation and gasification.
The name, title, present principal occupation or employment, and business
address of each director and executive officer of Texaco is set forth in
Appendix A attached hereto. All of such persons are citizens of the United
States, except as otherwise indicated in Appendix A.
During the last five years, neither Texaco, nor to the best of its
knowledge, any of the persons listed on Appendix A attached hereto, has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or has 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.
As more fully described in Item 4 hereof, Texaco has entered into a Stock
Option Agreement with Chevron (the "Chevron Option Agreement"). Pursuant to the
Chevron Option Agreement, Chevron has, among other things, granted Texaco an
option to acquire the Shares as described below. If the conditions precedent
were satisfied to permit Texaco to exercise its option to purchase the Shares
pursuant to the Chevron Option Agreement and Texaco so exercised that option,
Texaco currently anticipates that funds for such exercise would be generated by
available working capital.
No monetary consideration was paid by Texaco to Chevron in connection
with entering into the Merger Agreement (as defined in Item 4 below) or the
Chevron Option Agreement.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On October 15, 2000, Texaco and Chevron entered into the Chevron Option
Agreement pursuant to which Chevron granted Texaco an option (the "Option") to
purchase up to 127,000,000 Shares (the "Option Shares") at a price of $85.96
per Option Share (the "Purchase Price"). The number of Option Shares is subject
to adjustment in certain circumstances, provided that the aggregate number of
Shares purchasable by Texaco upon the exercise of the Option may not exceed
19.9% of the total outstanding Shares immediately prior to the time of such
exercise. The Option will, subject to certain limitations, become exercisable
upon the occurrence of a "Parent Trigger Event" (as defined in Section 3(a) of
the Chevron Option Agreement), the result of which is that Chevron has become
obligated to pay a fee to Texaco pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of October 15, 2000, among
Texaco, Chevron and Keepep Inc. (the "Merger Sub"). The Chevron Option
Agreement further provides that Chevron may, at any time following the exercise
by Texaco of the Option, repurchase for cash all of the Option Shares received
by Texaco pursuant to the Chevron Option Agreement. In no event may the "Total
Profit" (as defined in Section 11(c) of the Chevron Option Agreement) of Texaco
under the Chevron Option Agreement or Merger Agreement exceed $1.1 billion. No
Parent Trigger Event has occurred as of the time of this filing.
Texaco has granted to Chevron a substantially similar option to purchase
up to 107,000,000 shares of Texaco's common stock, par value $3.125 per share,
at an exercise price of $53.71 per share pursuant to a Stock Option
Page 3 of 10
Agreement (the "Texaco Option Agreement"), the provisions of which
substantially correspond to the related provisions of the Chevron Option
Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Texaco Option Agreement and the
Chevron Option Agreement (together, the "Option Agreements"), which are
included as Exhibits 2.2 and 2.3 respectively to the Current Report on Form 8-K
filed by Texaco on October 16, 2000, for the full text of their terms,
including the conditions upon which they may be exercised. The Option
Agreements are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The Option was granted by Chevron as an inducement to Texaco to enter
into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth therein (including approval by the stockholders
of Texaco and certain regulatory agencies), Merger Sub will merge with and into
Texaco (the "Merger") with Texaco continuing as the surviving corporation and
becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron. Each issued and outstanding
share of Texaco's common stock (other than those shares owned by Texaco or
Chevron) will be converted into the right to receive 0.77 Shares. If the Merger
is consummated, the Option cannot be exercised.
At the effective time of the Merger, Chevron will amend its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to ChevronTexaco Corporation
("ChevronTexaco"). If the Merger is consummated, the Board of Directors of
ChevronTexaco will consist of 15 members, of whom six directors shall be
persons who are designees of Texaco. At the effective time of the Merger, each
committee of the ChevronTexaco Board of Directors will be comprised of at least
one person who is a designee of Texaco.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Neither Texaco nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the persons
listed on Appendix A hereto beneficially owns any Shares other than as set
forth herein or as listed on Appendix B hereto. Prior to the Option becoming
exercisable and being exercised, Texaco expressly disclaims beneficial
ownership of the Shares which are purchasable by Texaco upon the Option
becoming exercisable and being exercised. Neither the filing of this Schedule
13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that
Texaco is the beneficial owner of the Shares subject to the Option for purposes
of Section 13(d) or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
for any other purpose and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
(a) Pursuant to the Chevron Option Agreement, Texaco has an option
to purchase up to 127,000,000 Shares (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances) at the Purchase Price; provided that in
no event will the number of shares for which the Option is
exercisable exceed 19.9% of the Shares issued and outstanding
at the time of exercise (without giving effect to the Shares
issued or issuable under the Option). The Option becomes
exercisable under certain conditions described in this Schedule
13D. Based on the number of outstanding Shares as of September
30, 2000, as represented by Chevron in the Merger Agreement,
Texaco would beneficially own up to 16.5% of the Shares
following full exercise of the Option.
(b) Texaco would have sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to any Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option.
(c) Except as described in Item 4 hereof or as listed on Appendix B
hereto, no transactions in the Shares were effected by Texaco,
or, to the best of its knowledge, any of the persons listed on
Appendix A hereto, during the preceding 60 days.
(d) Until the Option is exercised (if at all), Texaco has no right
to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the Shares subject to the Option. If Texaco exercises the
Option, Texaco or its designee, if any, would have the sole
right to receive dividends on the Shares acquired pursuant
thereto.
(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Except for the Merger Agreement and the Option Agreements, to the best
knowledge of Texaco, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) between the persons enumerated in Item 2,
and any other person, with respect to any securities of Chevron, including, but
not limited to, transfer or voting of any of Chevron's securities, finder's
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of
profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
