PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

**Item 1.**Legal Proceedings

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires disclosure of certain legal proceedings that involve governmental authorities as a party and that the company reasonably believes would result in $1.0 million or more of monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, under federal, state and local laws that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment. The following proceedings include those matters relating to third quarter 2024 and any material developments with respect to matters previously reported in Chevron’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As previously disclosed, in April 2015, Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble) entered into a joint consent decree (Consent Decree) with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Colorado to improve emission control systems at a number of condensate storage tanks within the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin. While the associated civil penalty was paid by Noble previously, the Consent Decree provides for stipulated penalties for noncompliance with the Consent Decree. The DOJ, EPA and the State of Colorado have requested payment of $1.5 million in stipulated penalties accrued under the Consent Decree, which was paid in August 2024.
