<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Until last year, Burma was home to some 1.1 million Rohingya people, an ethnic and religious minority. Although they have lived in Myanmar for generations (since it was formed as a modern country), the Rohingya are not among the 135 ethnic groups recognized by law in Myanmar, and most of the country&#8217;s Rohingya are denied citizenship and freedom of movement.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">While this systemic discrimination has been in place for decades, in 2012, Burmese military forces moved more than 120,000 Rohingya from their homes into detention camps where their access to basics such as food, healthcare, and education is severely restricted.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The proposal asks for a report &#8220;evaluating the feasibility of adopting a policy of not doing business with governments that are complicit in genocide and/or crimes against humanity.&#8221; It does not ask that such a policy be implemented.

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">We appreciate the extensive measures Chevron outlines in its human rights policy. Like many companies, Chevron defers to local governments to uphold human rights. However, the situation of the Rohingya in Burma is one in which the local government is not just neglecting to uphold human rights; it is complicit in grave and systemic human rights abuses.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">While it is admirable to ensure the rights of local workers, our concern in this situation is not about protecting locals involved in Chevron&#8217;s operations. We are concerned that any eventual drilling operations in that region would provide revenue to a government that is engaged in crimes against humanity.</div>
