Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 9, 2001, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Chevron”), merged (the “Merger”) with and into Texaco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Texaco”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 15, 2000 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Chevron, Texaco and Keepep Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Keepep”). As a result of the Merger, Texaco became a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron. In addition, Chevron changed its name to “ChevronTexaco Corporation” in connection with the Merger (ChevronTexaco Corporation is referred to herein as “ChevronTexaco”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Texaco common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.77 shares of ChevronTexaco common stock. No fractional shares of ChevronTexaco common stock will be issued and in lieu thereof former Texaco stockholders otherwise entitled to a fractional share will receive a cash payment in the amount of the proceeds from the sale of such fractional share in the market.
In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding option granted by Texaco to purchase shares of Texaco common stock was converted into an option to acquire ChevronTexaco common stock having the same terms and conditions as the Texaco stock option had before the merger. The number of shares that each new ChevronTexaco option is exercisable for and the exercise price of each new option has been adjusted in accordance with the exchange ratio in the Merger. Each other stock-based award granted by Texaco under its employee or director plans or arrangements maintained as of October 15, 2000 has been converted into a similar ChevronTexaco stock-based award, adjusted as appropriate to preserve the award’s inherent value.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of ChevronTexaco’s press release dated October 9, 2001 announcing the closing of the Merger is attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.
