The 2022 LTIP provides for the issuance of up to 104 million shares, plus any shares subject to outstanding awards under the prior Long-Term Incentive Pan that, on or after May 25, 2022, cease for any reason to be subject to such awards (other than by reason of exercise or settlement of the awards to the extent they are exercised for or settled in vested and nonforfeitable shares), reduced by the number of shares subject to awards granted under the prior plan after February 28, 2022. The maximum number of shares that may be issued subject to full-value awards under the 2022 LTIP is 48 million. The description of the 2022 LTIP contained under the caption “Board proposal to approve 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan of Chevron Corporation” in Chevron’s definitive proxy statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2022, is incorporated herein by reference.
