????雪佛龍提議通過合并交易，以每股12.47美元的價格收購普通股的股份(基于截至2021年2月4日NBLX普通股單位的最新收盤價)，以換取雪佛龍普通股的股份。

Agreement of definitive terms is subject to negotiations and approval by the Board of Directors of NBLX. In a statement, Chevron saiud that there can be no assurance that any such approvals will be forthcoming, that a definitive agreement will be executed, or that any transaction will be consummated.
