Chevron Reports By-Laws Amendments
Summary
On March 25, 2026, Chevron's Board of Directors approved and adopted amended and restated By-Laws, effective the same day (via Ex. 3.2). The amendments specify that non-employee Directors, rather than independent Directors, elect the Chairman each year and, when applicable, the Lead Director, and may elect a Vice Chairman. This change allows John Hess, a non-employee Director following the Hess Corporation acquisition who does not meet NYSE independence criteria, to fully participate in Board service, which the Board determined is beneficial to Chevron.
Why It Matters
This amendment to Chevron's By-Laws is material for corporate governance, specifically altering the election process for key board leadership roles. It ensures the full participation of non-employee Director John Hess, post-Hess acquisition, in Board activities, despite not meeting NYSE independent director criteria, which the Board deems beneficial.
