<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investing in the notes involves risks. Before making a decision to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider the risks described
under &#147;Item 1A. Risk Factors&#148; in Chevron&#146;s Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K,</FONT> filed with the Commission on February&nbsp;21, 2025, which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as the risks set
forth below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (&#147;SOFR&#148;) has a limited history and its composition and characteristics are
not the same as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (&#147;LIBOR&#148;). </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;22, 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates
Committee (the &#147;ARRC&#148;) convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York identified SOFR as the rate that, in the consensus view of the ARRC, represented best practice for use in
certain new U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and has been published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since April
2018. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York also began publishing historical indicative Secured Overnight Financing Rates from 2014. Investors should not rely on any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of future changes in SOFR. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR, and SOFR is fundamentally different from LIBOR for two key
reasons. First, SOFR is a secured rate, while LIBOR was an unsecured rate. Second, SOFR is an overnight rate, while LIBOR was a forward-looking rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities (e.g., three months). As a result, there
can be no assurance that SOFR (including Compounded SOFR) will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility or global or
regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>SOFR may be more volatile than other benchmark or
market rates. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes
in other benchmark or market rates, such as U.S. dollar (&#147;USD&#148;) LIBOR. Although changes in Compounded SOFR generally are not expected to be as volatile as changes in daily levels of SOFR, the return on and value of the floating rate notes
may fluctuate more than floating rate debt securities that are linked to less volatile rates. In addition, the volatility of SOFR has reflected the underlying volatility of the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York has at times conducted operations in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market in order to help maintain the federal funds rate within a target range. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York will continue to conduct
such operations in the future, and the duration and extent of any such operations is inherently uncertain. The effect of any such operations, or of the cessation of such operations to the extent they are commenced, is uncertain and could be
materially adverse to investors in the floating rate notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Any failure of SOFR to maintain market acceptance could adversely affect
the floating rate notes. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">According to the ARRC, SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial
contracts as an alternative to USD LIBOR in part because it is considered a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities,
it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR a suitable replacement or successor for
all of the purposes for which USD LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to
maintain market acceptance </P>

could adversely affect the return on and value of the floating rate notes and the price at which investors can sell the floating rate notes in the secondary market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, if SOFR does not continue to be widely used as a benchmark in securities that are similar or comparable to the floating rate
notes, the trading price of the floating rate notes may be lower than those of securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used. Similarly, market terms for floating-rate debt securities linked to SOFR, such as the spread over the base
rate reflected in interest rate provisions or the manner of compounding the base rate, may evolve over time, and trading prices of the floating rate notes may be lower than those of later-issued SOFR-based debt securities as a result. Investors in
the floating rate notes may not be able to sell the floating rate notes at all or may not be able to sell the floating rate notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market,
and may consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The interest rate on the floating rate notes is based
on a Compounded SOFR rate and the SOFR Index, both of which have a limited history in the marketplace. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For each interest period (as
defined herein), the interest rate on the floating rate notes is based on Compounded SOFR, which is calculated using the SOFR Index (as defined herein) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York according to the specific formula described
under &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Interest&#151;Floating Rate Notes&#151;Compounded SOFR,&#148; not the SOFR rate published on or in respect of a particular date during such interest period or an arithmetic average of SOFR rates during such
period. For this and other reasons, the interest rate on the floating rate notes during any interest period will not necessarily be the same as the interest rate on other SOFR-linked investments that use an alternative basis to determine the
applicable interest rate. Further, if the SOFR rate in respect of a particular date during an interest period is negative, its contribution to the SOFR Index will be less than one, resulting in a reduction to Compounded SOFR used to calculate the
interest payable on the floating rate notes on the interest payment date for such interest period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Limited market precedent exists for
securities that use SOFR as the interest rate and the method for calculating an interest rate based upon SOFR in those precedents varies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York only began publishing the SOFR Index on March&nbsp;2, 2020.
Accordingly, the use of the SOFR Index or the specific formula for the Compounded SOFR rate used in the floating rate notes may not continue to be widely adopted by other market participants. If the market adopts a different calculation method, that
would likely adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the floating rate notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Compounded SOFR with respect to a particular
interest period will only be capable of being determined near the end of the relevant interest period. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The level of Compounded SOFR
applicable to a particular interest period and, therefore, the amount of interest payable with respect to such interest period will be determined on the Interest Determination Date (as defined herein) for such interest period. Because each such date
is near the end of such interest period, you will not know the amount of interest payable with respect to a particular interest period until shortly prior to the related interest payment date and it may be difficult for you to reliably estimate the
amount of interest that will be payable on each such interest payment date. In addition, some investors may be unwilling or unable to trade the floating rate notes without changes to their information technology systems, both of which could
adversely impact the liquidity and trading price of the floating rate notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The SOFR Index may be modified or discontinued and the
floating rate notes may bear interest by reference to a rate other than Compounded SOFR, which could adversely affect the value of the floating rate notes. </B></P>

result in a reduction in the amount of interest payable on the floating rate notes and the trading prices of the floating rate notes. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may withdraw, modify or amend the published SOFR Index or SOFR

States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer or its designee shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par
based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of
the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to

&#147;banking organization&#148; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#147;clearing corporation&#148; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a &#147;clearing agency&#148;
registered under Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC and facilitates the settlement among participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed
Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that
clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. Persons who are not participants may beneficially own securities held by the depositary only through direct or indirect participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC also advises that pursuant to procedures established by it, upon deposit by the Issuer of the global notes with DTC or its custodian, DTC
or its nominee will credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amounts of the notes represented by such global notes to the accounts of direct participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by the underwriters. Ownership
of beneficial interests in notes represented by the global notes will be limited to participants or persons that hold interests through participants. Ownership of such beneficial interests in notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that
ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary (with respect to interests of direct participants), or by direct and indirect participants or persons that may hold interests through such participants (with respect to
persons other than participants). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as the depositary or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the depositary or
its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented thereby for all purposes under the indenture. Except as hereinafter provided, owners of beneficial interests in the global notes will not be
entitled to have the notes represented by a global note registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such notes in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the
indenture. Unless and until a global note is exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates evidencing the notes represented thereby, such global note may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to a nominee of the
depositary or by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any nominee of the depositary to a successor depositary or any nominee of such successor depositary. </P>

Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Guarantor, the Issuer, or their respective affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with Chevron, certain of
those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to Chevron consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters
and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in the securities of the Guarantor or the Issuer, including potentially the
notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered hereby. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express
independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. </P>

prospectus only provides a general description of the debt securities and guarantees that may be offered. Each time Chevron Corporation or CUSA sells debt securities and, in the case of Chevron Corporation, guarantees under the shelf registration, a
supplement to this prospectus containing specific information about the terms of the debt securities and guarantees will be provided. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. Before
purchasing any debt securities, you should read carefully both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with the additional information described under the heading &#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; </P>

all forward-looking statements include such words. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond Chevron&#146;s control and are difficult to
predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date of any such statement. Unless legally required, Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. </P>

regulations and litigation; significant operational, investment or product changes undertaken or required by existing or future environmental statutes and regulations, including international agreements and national or regional legislation and

discharge certain obligations to holders of the debt securities of a series bearing interest at a fixed rate of interest that have not already been delivered to the applicable trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and payable or
will become due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by depositing with the trustee, in trust, funds in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness including, but not limited to, the
principal and premium, if any, and interest to the date of such deposit (if the debt securities have become due and payable) or to the maturity thereof or the redemption date of the debt securities of that series, as the case may be. The applicable
issuer may direct the applicable trustee to invest such funds in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of one year or less or in a money market fund that invests solely in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable indenture provides that the applicable issuer may elect either (1)&nbsp;to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect
to the debt securities of a series (except for, among other things, obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the debt securities, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities, to maintain an office or
agency with respect to the debt securities and to hold moneys for payment in trust) (&#147;legal defeasance&#148;) or (2)&nbsp;to be released from the applicable issuer&#146;s obligations to comply with the restrictive covenants under the applicable
indenture, and any omission to comply with such obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the debt securities of a series and the fourth and sixth bulleted provision under &#147;&#151;Events of Default&#148;
will no longer be applied (&#147;covenant defeasance&#148;). Legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, will be conditioned upon, among other things, the irrevocable deposit by the applicable issuer with the applicable trustee, in
trust, of an amount in U.S. dollars, or U.S. government obligations, or both, applicable to the debt securities of that series which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an
amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants, to pay the principal or premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on the scheduled due dates therefor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the applicable issuer effects covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series, the amount in U.S. dollars, or U.S. government
obligations, or both, on deposit with the applicable trustee will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants, to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the stated maturity
but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from such event of default. However, the applicable issuer would remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the
time of acceleration. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The applicable issuer will be required to deliver to the applicable trustee an opinion of counsel that the deposit and related

based upon a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect. </P>
