Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hess Corporation filed a Form 15-12G to terminate registration of its common stock and seven series of senior notes under the Exchange Act and to suspend its duty to file periodic reports. The company is relying on Rule 12g-4(a)(1) and Rule 12h-3(b)(1)(i), which permit deregistration when a class of securities has fewer than 300 record holders. The filing lists only one holder of common stock (Chevron) and 53-72 holders for each debt series, satisfying the threshold.

The action follows the completion of Chevron’s acquisition of Hess. Under the Merger Agreement dated 22 Oct 2023, Yankee Merger Sub Inc. merged into Hess on 18 Jul 2025, making Hess a wholly owned Chevron subsidiary. Signature date for the Form 15 is 28 Jul 2025.

Key implications: investors will no longer receive standalone Hess financial statements or SEC filings; the notes will continue to exist but without ongoing Exchange Act reporting obligations.

Hess Corporation ha presentato un Modulo 15-12G per terminare la registrazione delle sue azioni ordinarie e di sette serie di obbligazioni senior ai sensi dell'Exchange Act e per sospendere l'obbligo di presentare rapporti periodici. La società si basa sulla Regola 12g-4(a)(1) e sulla Regola 12h-3(b)(1)(i), che consentono la cancellazione della registrazione quando una classe di titoli ha meno di 300 detentori registrati. La documentazione indica un solo detentore di azioni ordinarie (Chevron) e tra 53 e 72 detentori per ciascuna serie di debito, rispettando così la soglia.

L'azione segue il completamento dell'acquisizione di Hess da parte di Chevron. In base al Contratto di Fusione datato 22 ottobre 2023, Yankee Merger Sub Inc. si è fusa con Hess il 18 luglio 2025, rendendo Hess una controllata interamente posseduta da Chevron. La data di firma del Modulo 15 è il 28 luglio 2025.

Implicazioni principali: gli investitori non riceveranno più bilanci finanziari autonomi di Hess né documenti SEC; le obbligazioni continueranno a esistere ma senza obblighi di rendicontazione continua ai sensi dell'Exchange Act.

Hess Corporation presentó un Formulario 15-12G para terminar la registración de sus acciones comunes y siete series de notas senior bajo la Ley de Intercambio y para suspender su obligación de presentar informes periódicos. La compañía se acoge a la Regla 12g-4(a)(1) y la Regla 12h-3(b)(1)(i), que permiten la desregistración cuando una clase de valores tiene menos de 300 titulares registrados. El documento lista solo un titular de acciones comunes (Chevron) y entre 53 y 72 titulares para cada serie de deuda, cumpliendo con el umbral.

Esta acción sigue a la finalización de la adquisición de Hess por parte de Chevron. Según el Acuerdo de Fusión fechado el 22 de octubre de 2023, Yankee Merger Sub Inc. se fusionó con Hess el 18 de julio de 2025, convirtiendo a Hess en una subsidiaria totalmente propiedad de Chevron. La fecha de firma del Formulario 15 es el 28 de julio de 2025.

Implicaciones clave: los inversores ya no recibirán estados financieros independientes de Hess ni presentaciones ante la SEC; las notas seguirán existiendo pero sin obligaciones continuas de reporte bajo la Ley de Intercambio.

Hess CorporationForm 15-12G를 제출하여 자사의 보통주 및 7개 선순위 채권 시리즈에 대한 거래법(Exchange Act) 등록을 종료하고 정기 보고 의무를 중단했습니다. 회사는 증권 보유자가 300명 미만일 때 등록 취소를 허용하는 규칙 12g-4(a)(1)규칙 12h-3(b)(1)(i)에 근거하고 있습니다. 제출서류에는 보통주 보유자가 1명 (Chevron)이며, 각 부채 시리즈별로 53~72명의 보유자가 있어 기준을 충족합니다.

이 조치는 Chevron의 Hess 인수 완료에 따른 것입니다. 2023년 10월 22일자 합병 계약서에 따라 Yankee Merger Sub Inc.가 2025년 7월 18일 Hess와 합병되어 Hess는 Chevron의 전액 출자 자회사가 되었습니다. Form 15 서명일은 2025년 7월 28일입니다.

주요 영향: 투자자들은 더 이상 Hess의 독립 재무제표나 SEC 제출 서류를 받지 않으며, 채권은 계속 존재하지만 거래법에 따른 지속적인 보고 의무는 없습니다.

Hess Corporation a déposé un Formulaire 15-12G pour mettre fin à l'enregistrement de ses actions ordinaires et de sept séries d'obligations senior en vertu de l'Exchange Act, et pour suspendre son obligation de déposer des rapports périodiques. La société s'appuie sur la Règle 12g-4(a)(1) et la Règle 12h-3(b)(1)(i), qui autorisent la radiation lorsque la classe de titres compte moins de 300 détenteurs inscrits. Le dépôt mentionne un seul détenteur d'actions ordinaires (Chevron) et entre 53 et 72 détenteurs pour chaque série de dette, respectant ainsi le seuil.

Cette démarche fait suite à l'achèvement de l'acquisition de Hess par Chevron. Selon l'Accord de Fusion daté du 22 octobre 2023, Yankee Merger Sub Inc. a fusionné avec Hess le 18 juillet 2025, faisant de Hess une filiale entièrement détenue par Chevron. La date de signature du Formulaire 15 est le 28 juillet 2025.

Principales conséquences : les investisseurs ne recevront plus d’états financiers autonomes de Hess ni de dépôts auprès de la SEC ; les obligations continueront d’exister mais sans obligations de reporting continu au titre de l’Exchange Act.

Hess Corporation hat ein Formular 15-12G eingereicht, um die Registrierung seiner Stammaktien und sieben Serien von Senior Notes gemäß dem Exchange Act zu beenden und seine Pflicht zur Einreichung periodischer Berichte auszusetzen. Das Unternehmen beruft sich auf Regel 12g-4(a)(1) und Regel 12h-3(b)(1)(i), die eine Deregistrierung erlauben, wenn eine Wertpapierklasse weniger als 300 eingetragene Inhaber hat. Die Einreichung listet nur einen Inhaber von Stammaktien (Chevron) und 53-72 Inhaber je Schuldverschreibungsserie auf, womit die Schwelle erfüllt ist.

Die Maßnahme folgt dem Abschluss der Übernahme von Hess durch Chevron. Gemäß der Fusionsvereinbarung vom 22. Oktober 2023 fusionierte Yankee Merger Sub Inc. am 18. Juli 2025 mit Hess, wodurch Hess eine hundertprozentige Chevron-Tochter wurde. Das Unterschriftsdatum für das Formular 15 ist der 28. Juli 2025.

Wesentliche Auswirkungen: Investoren erhalten keine eigenständigen Hess-Finanzberichte oder SEC-Einreichungen mehr; die Notes bleiben bestehen, jedoch ohne fortlaufende Berichtspflichten nach dem Exchange Act.

Positive
  • Merger completion: Chevron’s acquisition of Hess closed on 18 Jul 2025, providing an exit for former Hess equity holders.
Negative
  • Deregistration: Hess will cease filing periodic SEC reports, reducing standalone transparency for the outstanding debt issues.

Insights

TL;DR: Hess deregisters; Chevron deal closed, no more Hess public reports—material mainly for remaining noteholders.

Termination under Rules 12g-4 and 12h-3 is routine once a registrant has <300 holders after a merger. Common stock now has a single holder—Chevron—eliminating any public float. Each debt tranche also falls below the holder threshold, allowing suspension of periodic reporting. From a bond-holder perspective, loss of public disclosures may reduce transparency but is offset by the fact that Hess is now part of Chevron, a larger, still-reporting entity. Equity investors have already been cashed out through the merger. Overall impact is modest and largely administrative.
