Item 5.04    Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On November 10, 2017, Chevron Corporation (the “Company”) sent a notice required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to its directors and executive officers informing them of a blackout period beginning on December 26, 2017 and expected to end no later than the week of January 7, 2018 (the “Blackout Period”).  The Blackout Period is being imposed due to a change in the recordkeeper of the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan (the “ESIP”).
 
The Company received the notice required by Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 on November 10, 2017, which indicated that ESIP participants will not be able to direct or diversify investments in their individual ESIP accounts, including transactions in Chevron common stock in the Chevron Stock Fund, obtain a loan or receive a distribution from the ESIP during the Blackout Period.
 
During the Blackout Period, and for a period of two years after the end date thereof, a security holder or other interested person may obtain, without charge, information regarding the Blackout Period, including the actual beginning and end dates of the Blackout Period. This information is available by contacting Mary A. Francis, the Company’s Corporate Secretary and Chief Governance Officer, at 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA 94583, or via telephone at (925) 842-1000.

A copy of the notice transmitted to the directors and executive officers of the Company is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
