Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On July 19, 2005, Chevron Corporation and Unocal Corporation entered into an amendment to the agreement and plan of merger by and among Unocal Corporation, Chevron Corporation and Blue Merger Sub Inc. dated April 4, 2005. The amendment provides for an increase in the consideration to be received by Unocal stockholders.

     Under the amended merger agreement, Unocal stockholders may elect to receive, for each share of Unocal stock, either $69 in cash, 1.03 shares of Chevron stock, or a combination of $27.60 in cash and 0.618 of a share of Chevron common stock. The all-cash and all-stock elections are subject to proration to preserve an overall mix of 0.618 of a share of Chevron common stock and $27.60 in cash for all of the outstanding shares of Unocal common stock taken together. In the aggregate, Chevron expects to issue approximately 168 million shares of Chevron stock and to pay approximately $7.5 billion in cash.

     Chevron and Unocal issued a joint press release on July 19, 2005, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Information regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     Except for the historical and factual information contained herein, the matters set forth in this filing, including statements as to the expected benefits of the acquisition such as efficiencies, cost savings, market profile and financial strength, and the competitive ability and position of the combined company, and other statements identified by words such as “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “plans,” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, including required approvals by Unocal shareholders and regulatory agencies, the possibility that the anticipated benefits from the acquisition cannot be fully realized, the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration of Unocal operations into Chevron will be greater than expected, the impact of competition and other risk factors relating to our industry as detailed from time to time in each of Chevron’s and Unocal’s reports filed with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. Unless legally required, Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
