Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On January 30, 2008, the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”) approved an amendment to Article IV, Section 1 of Chevron’s By-Laws to permit Chevron stockholders to cause a special meeting of stockholders to be held. The amendment, which was effective immediately upon approval, permits holders of at least 25 percent of the outstanding shares of Chevron common stock entitled to vote to submit a written request to the Chairman of the Board or Secretary to cause the special meeting to be held. The amendment also provides that the Chairman of the Board or Secretary shall not call a special meeting of stockholders if (i) the Board has called or calls for an annual meeting of stockholders and the purpose of such annual meeting includes the purpose specified in the request or (ii) an annual or special meeting was held not more than 12 months before the request to call the special meeting was received, which included the purpose specified in the request. Previously, Chevron stockholders were not empowered to cause a special meeting of stockholders to be held.
The amended By-Laws of Chevron reflecting this amendment are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.
