赫斯公司宣布已获得股东的必要批准，以完成该公司与雪佛龙的合并。在5月28日举行的赫斯股东特别会议上，大多数赫斯已发行普通股投票赞成通过合并协议。

“我们非常高兴我们的大多数股东认识到这项战略交易的巨大价值，并期待我们与雪佛龙的合并成功完成，”首席执行官约翰·赫斯说。 “我们将共同定位为一流的综合能源公司，凭借领导力、资产组合和财务资源，在未来几年为股东带来巨大的价值。”

特别会议上投票的提案的最终投票结果将在表格 8-K 中列出，赫斯将在选举检查员认证后向美国证券交易委员会提交该表格。

合并无需获得雪佛龙股东的批准。合并的完成仍取决于其他成交条件，包括经修订的 1976 年《哈特-斯科特-罗迪诺反垄断改进法》规定的任何适用等待期到期或终止，以及正在进行的有关 Stabroek 优先购买权的仲裁程序的令人满意的解决区块联合经营协议。雪佛龙和赫斯正在努力尽快完成合并。

Hess Corp announced it has received the necessary approval of its stockholders for closing the company’s merger with Chevron. At the special meeting of Hess stockholders held on 28 May, a majority of the outstanding shares of Hess common stock were voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.

“We are very pleased that the majority of our stockholders recognize the compelling value of this strategic transaction and look forward to the successful completion of our merger with Chevron,” CEO John Hess said. “Together we will be positioned as a premier integrated energy company, with the leadership, asset portfolio and financial resources to deliver significant shareholder value for years to come.”

The final voting results on the proposals voted on at the special meeting will be set forth in a Form 8-K that Hess will file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission after certification by its inspector of election.

No approval of Chevron stockholders is required in connection with the merger. Completion of the merger remains subject to other closing conditions, including expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the satisfactory resolution of ongoing arbitration proceedings regarding preemptive rights in the Stabroek Block joint operating agreement. Chevron and Hess are working to complete the merger as soon as practicable.
