Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) completed antitrust review of the company’s
merger with Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES), satisfying a key closing
condition for the transaction.
“This is an important step toward completing the merger, which
will benefit our shareholders, the industry, and the country of
Guyana, and add world class assets to our already advantaged
portfolio,” said Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth. “We look
forward to completing the transaction and welcoming Hess into our
company.”
To facilitate completion of the merger, Hess and Chevron have
agreed that Hess CEO John Hess will not be appointed to the Chevron
Board of Directors. Instead, Mr. Hess will serve as an advisor to
Chevron on government relations and social investments in Guyana as
well as on support for the Salk Institute’s Harnessing Plants
Initiative.
“I have the utmost respect for John, the company he has built,
and the contributions he has made to our industry. It is
unfortunate that our Board of Directors will not get the benefit of
his decades of global experience, but we look forward to drawing
upon his knowledge, relationships and experience in Guyana through
his service as an advisor to Chevron,” added Mr. Wirth.
Completion of the merger remains subject to other closing
conditions, including the satisfactory resolution of ongoing
arbitration proceedings regarding preemptive rights in the Stabroek
Block joint operating agreement. Chevron remains confident that the
arbitration process will affirm the company’s position. Hess
shareholders approved the merger agreement in May 2024.
