Research Analyst Commentary Post-announcement reactions “While HES provides growth, CVX will provide financial strength, so HES shareholders will be able to benefit from a diversified portfolio of assets, a strong balance sheet and high cash returns.” -- Scotiabank, 23-Oct-2023 “Good deal for HES – the $171/share takeout price is 53% above our $112/share NAV at the strip and ~30% above our NAV at $75/bbl long-term prices.” -- Pickering Energy, 23-Oct-2023 “HES trades at a 5-year high, and the multiple paid by CVX reflects the growth outlook. HES holders retain upside exposure and receive greater capital returns, with reduced downside by being in a larger entity.” -- UBS, 23-Oct-2023 “Joining the HES fan club. We’re card carriers and as CVX communicates the value of the HES growth to its value-oriented shareholders, more will join.” -- Bernstein, 02-Nov-2023 Note: Specific research note excerpts may be edited for length and/or clarity. 13
