SOLICITATION OF WRITTEN REQUEST FOR FIXING A RECORD DATE IN CONNECTION WITH

THE PROPOSED ACTIONS BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE STOCKHOLDERS OF

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION

SOLICITATION STATEMENT

THE ICAHN PARTICIPANTS

The date of this Solicitation Statement is July 18, 2019. This Solicitation Statement and the enclosed materials are first being sent or given to stockholders on or about July 18, 2019.

To the Stockholders of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (the “Company” or “Occidental”):

THE PURPOSE OF THIS SOLICITATION

The Icahn Participants (as hereinafter defined) believe that the Company’s current directors have made a number of mistakes in how and at what cost they pursued the acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (the “Anadarko transaction”). In addition to agreeing to expensive financing, the Company also structured the Anadarko transaction in a manner that deprived the stockholders of the Company of the right to vote on the transformational Anadarko transaction. The Icahn Participants also believe that the Company currently has a lack of effective corporate governance, including cumbersome provisions in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Charter”) and By-laws (as amended, the “By-laws”) that unduly restrict stockholders’ ability to nominate directors at an annual meeting, act by written consent or call special meetings when appropriate. Please refer to the section of this Solicitation Statement titled “Background to the Solicitation” and “Reasons for the Solicitation” for more detailed information.

In the opinion of the Icahn Participants, the path to greater value for the Company’s stockholders is through good governance. More specifically, the Icahn Participants believe it is important to add new directors to Occidental’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to oversee future extraordinary transactions like the Anadarko transaction and to ensure that they are not consummated without stockholder approval when appropriate. The Icahn Participants believe that the election of new directors will also help to ensure the achievement of the Board’s and management’s projected stated cost savings and deal synergies for the Anadarko transaction. Finally, the Icahn Participants believe that the election of new directors, together with the formation of a new Strategic Review Committee of the Board (as described herein), will help ensure that alternatives to maximize value for stockholders will be considered and, if appropriate, pursued by the Board and management of the Company.

The Icahn Participants further believe that changes to the Charter and By-laws are needed in order to remove the restrictive provisions that significantly impede the rights of stockholders to nominate directors at an annual meeting, to call a special meeting or to act by written consent.

THE PROCESS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE CHANGE

The Icahn Participants are seeking to remove and replace four Occidental directors and to amend the Charter and By-laws through a stockholder consent solicitation. Under the Charter and By-laws, in order to accomplish this, there is a two-stage process.

First, the holders of record of at least 20% in the aggregate (the “Requisite Percentage”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), must ask the Board to fix a record date (the “Record Date”) for determining stockholders entitled to participate in the contemplated consent solicitation. Unfortunately, the Charter requires that stockholders wishing to support a request to fix a Record Date comply with a highly technical process. However, in order to effectuate the change required at Occidental, it is critical that stockholders comply with the procedures set forth in this Solicitation Statement.

Second, once the Icahn Participants have solicited the Requisite Percentage and the Board fixes the Record Date, the Icahn Participants can proceed with a consent solicitation for stockholders to approve the proposed actions set forth in the section of this Solicitation Statement titled “Proposals for Action by Written Consent” (collectively, the “Proposals”). This second stage of the process (i.e. the solicitation of consents to the Proposals) can be pursued only if this first stage of the process is completed successfully.

This Solicitation Statement concerns only the first stage of the process—requesting that the Board fix a Record Date. At this stage, the Icahn Participants are merely seeking “written requests” from stockholders asking the Board to fix a Record Date. Once requests have been obtained from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders, the Icahn Participants intend to deliver a written notice (the “Written Notice”) to the Company’s Secretary requesting that a Record Date be fixed in connection with the Proposals. This process is highly technical and stockholders who wish to join in the written request process should carefully read the material in this Solicitation Statement, and if they have any questions, contact Harkins Kovler, LLC (“Harkins Kovler”), who is assisting the Icahn Participants in this solicitation of requests to fix a Record Date, at 3 Columbus Circle, 15th floor, New York, NY 10019, Telephone: +1 (212) 468-5380, Toll-free: +1 (800) 339-9883, Email: Icahn-OXY@HarkinsKovler.com.

This Solicitation Statement, the enclosed written request for fixing a Record Date (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) attached as Exhibit A (the “Record Date Request Form”), the enclosed form of instruction letter to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) attached as Exhibit B-1 (the “DTC Instruction Letter”), the enclosed form of written request for fixing a Record Date from DTC’s nominee attached as Exhibit B-2 (the “Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form”) and the enclosed form of letter from the brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution (the “DTC participant”) that is the holder of record of your shares of Company Common Stock verifying your beneficial ownership of Company Common Stock attached as Exhibit C (the “Verification Letter”) are being provided to you solely for the purpose of requesting that the Record Date be fixed by the Company.

If you wish to support the request for fixing a Record Date, you must complete and return the Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto). Furthermore, the DTC Instruction Letter, Verification Letter and the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form must be completed by your DTC participant(s), pursuant to, and upon, your direction, and the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form must be executed by Cede & Co., as DTC’s nominee, upon DTC’s receipt of a duly executed DTC Instruction Letter and Verification Letter from your DTC participant(s) on your behalf.

At this time, the Icahn Participants are asking you to complete and return the Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), the Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form with respect to your shares of Company Common Stock so that the Icahn Participants may deliver the Written Notice to the Company’s Secretary.

However, the Icahn Participants are NOT, at this time, seeking your proxy, consent, authorization or agent designation for approval of the Proposals or any other actions.

In the event the Icahn Participants solicit the Requisite Percentage and the Record Date is fixed by the Company, we intend to solicit consents from you in support of the Proposals by sending you a consent solicitation statement and a form of consent for use therewith. At that time, you will be able to decide whether or not you want to support the Proposals. By returning the Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix I thereto) right now, you are not committing to support the Proposals.

The Icahn Participants are asking the Company’s stockholders to complete, sign and date the enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), to arrange for the execution of the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form and Verification Letter by following the steps outlined below, and to return each of the foregoing to Harkins Kovler at the address below. To effect the execution of the required Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form, the Company’s stockholders must arrange for their DTC participant(s) to sign the Verification Letter with respect to such stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock and to instruct DTC to cause Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, to sign and return the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to the stockholder’s DTC participant(s).

Upon receiving the executed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form from Cede & Co., the DTC participant(s) should return the executed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form and their executed Verification Letter to the stockholder, who should send the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form and Verification Letter, along with the executed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), to Harkins Kovler at the address set forth below, who will gather such documents and provide them to the Icahn Participants for submission to the Company.

The Record Date Request Form and the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form ask that the Record Date be fixed as soon as possible following the date on which Record Date Request Forms, Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms are obtained from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders (the “Requisite Holders”) and Written Notice is delivered to the Company’s Secretary.

Please complete, sign and date the enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) as soon as possible. If any of your shares of Company Common Stock are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution, please arrange to have such DTC participant(s) complete and sign a Verification Letter and forward that, along with the DTC Instruction Letter, to DTC and, upon their receipt of the executed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form from DTC, to return the executed Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to you by following the procedures set forth in the section of this Solicitation Statement titled “Procedures for Stockholders Submitting Record Date Request Forms (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms.”

We request that you not change in any way the Record Date Request Forms or the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms.

If any portion of your shares of Company Common Stock is sold prior to the date that the Written Notice is delivered to the Company, your Record Date Request Form will be deemed revoked to the extent of such sale. Therefore, we request that you not sell any portion of your shares (or otherwise reduce your ownership of the shares as to which you have submitted a Record Date Request Form) until after the date that the Written Notice is delivered to the Company by the Icahn Participants. Stockholders are entitled to request that a Record Date be fixed by the Board only with respect to the Shares of Company Common Stock owned by the stockholder as of the date the Written Notice is delivered to the Company.

If you have any questions about completing, executing and dating your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), causing your Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to be executed and returned to you or delivering each of the foregoing documents to Harkins Kovler, or otherwise require assistance, please contact Harkins Kovler at the address and telephone numbers set forth below.

We encourage you to submit your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form, even if you cannot complete your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) in full or you believe your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and/or Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form may be defective; provided, however, that we reserve the right not to submit any Record Date Request Forms (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms if we believe that they do not comply with the Charter and By-laws. If we believe that your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and/or Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form does not so comply, or the Company notifies us of such non-compliance, we expect to contact you to describe the potential defect(s) and to provide instructions as to how uncertainty regarding the validity of your documentation can be eliminated.

BACKGROUND TO THE SOLICITATION

On April 12, 2019, Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”) and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (“Anadarko”) announced that they had entered into a merger agreement for Chevron to acquire Anadarko in a stock and cash transaction valued at $33 billion, or $65 per share.

On April 24, 2019, Occidental delivered a letter to the Board of Directors of Anadarko proposing to acquire Anadarko for $76 per share, in which Anadarko stockholders would receive $38 in cash and 0.6094 shares of Company Common Stock for each share of Anadarko common stock. This proposal represented a premium of approximately 20% to the value of Anadarko’s pending transaction with Chevron as of April 23, 2019. The Occidental proposal was subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders.

On April 29, 2019, Anadarko announced that it intended to resume negotiations with Occidental because Anadarko’s board of directors determined that the Occidental proposal could reasonably be expected to result in a “Superior Proposal” as defined in the merger agreement with Chevron (the “Chevron merger agreement”).

On April 30, 2019, Occidental announced that, in connection with the financing of its proposal to acquire Anadarko, Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. had committed to invest a total of $10 billion in Occidental, and would receive cumulative perpetual preferred stock and a warrant to purchase up to 80 million shares of Company Common Stock.

On May 5, 2019, Occidental and Total SA announced that they reached an agreement for Total SA to acquire Anadarko’s assets in Africa for a consideration of $8.8 billion in the event that Occidental entered into and completed its proposal to acquire Anadarko.

On May 5, 2019, Occidental increased the cash portion of its April 24 offer to 78% cash and 22% stock. The revised offer removed the Occidental stockholder approval condition.

On May 6, 2019, Anadarko announced that the revised Occidental offer represented a “Superior Proposal” as defined in the Chevron merger agreement and notified Chevron that Chevron had a right during the four-business day period ending on May 10, 2019 to propose revisions to the Chevron merger agreement or make another proposal.

On May 9, 2019, Chevron announced that it would not increase its offer to acquire Anadarko citing cost and capital discipline and stating that it “would not dilute its returns or erode value to its shareholders for the sake of doing a deal”.

On May 9, 2019, Anadarko terminated the Chevron merger agreement and paid Chevron a $1 billion termination fee due to Chevron under the terms of the Chevron merger agreement.

On May 9, 2019, after Anadarko terminated the Chevron merger agreement, Anadarko and Occidental entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which Occidental would acquire Anadarko on the terms of Occidental’s May 5 proposal.

Between May 2, 2019 and May 30, 2019 the Icahn Participants purchased shares of Company Common Stock (including shares underlying forward contracts), as set forth in Annex B hereto.

On May 21, 2019, the Icahn Participants delivered a demand, pursuant to section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), to the Company (the “220 Demand”) requesting access to certain books and records of the Company relating to the Anadarko transaction.

On May 28, 2019, the Company responded to the 220 Demand stating that it was “considering the demand, and … will contact you shortly to discuss the Company’s position and response.”

On May 30, 2019, the Icahn Participants filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to demand a review of documents relating to the Anadarko transaction.

On June 7, 2019, a trial was scheduled with respect to the 220 Demand for September 20, 2019.

On June 14, 2019, the Company answered the plaintiffs’ complaint in the 220 Demand stating that the plaintiffs had not stated a proper purpose for the inspection of the Company’s books and records and denying that the plaintiffs were entitled to any relief.

On June 21, 2019, the Icahn Participants exercised the forward contracts as set forth in Annex B hereto.

On June 24, 2019, Mr. Icahn had a telephone discussion with the CEO of Occidental to discuss his views on the Company.

On June 26, 2019, the Icahn Participants filed a preliminary copy of this Solicitation Statement with the SEC, as amended on July 11, 2019.

On June 27, 2019, Mr. Icahn and his associates met with the CEO and other representatives of Occidental to discuss Mr. Icahn’s views on the Company.

On July 2, 2019, the Company filed a Preliminary Revocation Solicitation Statement, as amended on July 5, 2019 and July 16, 2019.

On July 3, 2019 and July 6, 2019, Mr. Icahn and a representative of Occidental had telephone calls to discuss Mr. Icahn’s views on the Company.

On July 10, 2019, Mr Icahn and his associates had a telephone call with the CEO of Occidental to discuss matters related to the Company.

On July 18, 2019, the Icahn Participants filed this Solicitation Statement with the SEC.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

The Icahn Participants believe that the Company’s current directors have made a number of mistakes in how and at what cost they pursued the Anadarko transaction. In addition to agreeing to expensive financing, the Company also structured the Anadarko transaction in a manner that deprived the stockholders of the Company of the right to vote on the transformational Anadarko transaction. The Icahn Participants believe that this reveals a disregard for stockholder rights and the principles of good governance.

The Icahn Participants believe that the Anadarko transaction is a high-risk strategy that, if given the opportunity, may not have been approved by the Company’s stockholders. In the opinion of the Icahn Participants, the Board and management of the Company structured the transaction to avoid requiring stockholder approval, even though the terms and conditions of the Anadarko transaction will fundamentally transform the Company’s business and prospects.

In the opinion of the Icahn Participants, the path to greater value for the Company’s stockholders is through good governance. More specifically, the Icahn Participants believe it is important to add the Director Nominees named in this Solicitation Statement to the Board to oversee future extraordinary transactions. In addition to safeguarding against the pursuit of transformational transactions without stockholder approval, the Icahn Participants believe that the election of new directors will also help to ensure the achievement of the Board’s and management’s projected stated cost savings and deal synergies for the Anadarko transaction. Finally, the Icahn Participants believe that the election of new directors, together with the formation of a new Strategic Review Committee of the Board, will help ensure that alternatives to maximize value for stockholders will be considered and, if appropriate, pursued by the Board and management of the Company.

The Icahn Participants believe that the Board has acted and continues to act with a complete disregard with respect to stockholder demands and good governance. For example, at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company’s stockholders proposed to reduce the requisite percentage of stockholders to call a special meeting from 25% to 15%. The proposing stockholders argued, in summary, that the lowered percentage (i) would not impact the Board’s ability to call its own special meeting, (ii) would help counteract the time constraints and detailed technical requirements otherwise built into the special meeting provision included in the By-laws and (iii) would provide stockholders with greater standing to have impact on director refreshment. Despite these legitimate grounds, the Board opposed the proposal, comparing its threshold to that of other public companies, without acknowledging the particularly burdensome procedural and timing requirements of the Company’s special meeting provision. Despite the Company’s opposition, the proposal was approved by 59.48% of the Company’s stockholders, as reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 10, 2019. To our knowledge, the Board has failed to heed the message from the stockholders and has not taken proper actions to propose a resolution to reduce the ownership threshold from 25% to 15% as was approved by stockholders. Even worse, the Company stated in its preliminary revocation solicitation statement filed with the SEC on July 2, 2019, that we could not deliver Written Requests for a Record Date with respect to a proposal in this Solicitation Statement that the Board propose a resolution to amend the Charter and By-laws to reduce the ownership percentage as approved by stockholders, because such a proposal was already presented at a meeting of stockholders.

The Director Nominees, if elected, will support a resolution to amend the Charter and By-laws to reduce the ownership percentage from 25% to 15% and heed the message that stockholders have already delivered to the Company.

Finally, the Icahn Participants have observed that the Charter and By-laws include a number of cumbersome restrictions, which we believe impede the rights of stockholders to nominate directors at an annual meeting, call a special meeting of stockholders or to act by written consent.

Proposed By-law Amendments

Special Meeting Process

Occidental has stated that permitting the appropriate number of stockholders to call a special meeting promotes stockholder democracy; however, we believe that the conditions that the Company has imposed on this right are overly restrictive and effectively deprive stockholders of the ability to exercise this right. The Company’s By-laws currently require that a request for a special meeting (a “Special Meeting Request”) be signed by holders of record (as opposed to beneficial holders) of 25% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Each holder of record who wishes to join in a Special Meeting Request is required to provide extensive disclosures and representations, which we believe are largely irrelevant to any legitimate concern Occidental may have. Following the receipt of a Special Meeting Request, the Board may wait up to 90 days before holding such meeting, significantly longer than the maximum of 60 days following notice of a meeting before a meeting must be held under the DGCL. We believe these burdensome information and procedural requirements – made more onerous by the fact that they are required of record holders (as opposed to beneficial holders) – serve to deter all but the largest stockholders (who may have the organizational resources to comply) from joining in requesting a special meeting. We further believe the ability for the Board to delay holding a properly requested special meeting for up to three months greatly diminishes the accountability of management to respond to stockholder initiatives and concerns.

Annual Meeting Advance Nomination Deadline

The current By-laws provide that nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at an annual meeting by any stockholder who complies with the notice procedures and other requirements in the Bylaws. Among other requirements, the Bylaws require that the stockholder give notice to the Company of director nominees between September 1 and November 30 of the year preceding the annual meeting. Advance nomination deadlines are intended to require a stockholder to provide prior notice to a corporation of a stockholder’s director nominees to facilitate an orderly meeting and ensure that stockholders receive prior information about matters to be voted upon at the meeting. However, we believe that the current deadline is unduly restrictive and greatly diminishes a stockholder’s right to propose director nominees. The Company typically holds its annual meeting in May, thus requiring at least five months advance notice, which we believe is much longer than customary advance notice deadlines. In fact, the By-laws provide a different deadline for stockholder proposals of business to be transacted upon, other than the election of directors. That deadline is between 70 and 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. We believe that this deadline provides the Company with ample advance notice to hold an orderly meeting and ensure that stockholders receive prior information without unduly restricting a stockholder’s right to propose director nominees. Accordingly, we are seeking to amend the By-laws so that the advance nomination deadline for nominating directors at the annual meeting is the same as the deadline for proposals of business to be transacted upon at the annual meeting.

The amendments we are proposing would have the effect of (i) allowing beneficial holders in addition to record holders to join in signing a Special Meeting Request, (ii) requiring certain of the stockholder disclosure requirements and representations to be made by only the stockholder proposing the Special Meeting Request rather than by all stockholders who may opt to join in such request, (iii) shortening the advance notice deadline for director nominations at an annual meeting and (iv) shortening the time period in which the Board must hold a properly requested special meeting from 90 days to 60 days from the date that a Special Meeting Request is delivered. The Icahn Participants believe the proposed modifications are consistent with how special meeting provisions are generally drafted.

Proposed Charter Amendments

Written Consent Process

The Company’s Charter currently provides that an action by written consent may be initiated only after a request for a record date is made by holders of record (as opposed to beneficial holders) of 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock. Each holder of record who wishes to join in a request for a record date is required to provide extensive disclosures. Even in the event that stockholders succeed in requesting a record date, the Charter significantly limits the types of actions that may be taken by written consent. For example, among other things, a request for a record date in connection with a written consent relating to the election or removal of directors may not be properly made if a proposal for any election or removal of directors was presented at a stockholders meeting within the previous 90 days, even if the same nominees were not involved.

In opposing other stockholder-friendly proposals, Occidental has touted that its stockholders have the ability to act by written consent and has stated that such right provides stockholders with meaningful opportunities to express their views and concerns. However, we believe that the cumulative effect of the conditions built into the Charter and By-laws make the right substantially more difficult for stockholders to exercise, and therefore less meaningful.

The amendments we are proposing would have the effect of eliminating the requirement that stockholders first complete the onerous process of requesting a record date before proposing an action by written consent. If this proposal passes and is fully implemented by the Board, we believe these resolutions would empower stockholders by giving them a meaningful ability to act by written consent in accordance with the DGCL, and therefore a greater ability to effect needed change at the Company.

PROPOSALS FOR ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

If the Written Notice is delivered to the Company in accordance with the Charter and the Record Date is fixed by the Company, we intend to present the following Proposals for action by written consent of stockholders:

Proposal 1A: “RESOLVED, that Spencer Abraham, a current director on the Board, and any replacement director(s) appointed or elected to fill a vacancy of such Board seat (other than any Director Nominee set forth herein), be and hereby is removed from the Board.”

Proposal 1B: “RESOLVED, that Eugene L. Batchelder, a current director on the Board, and any replacement director(s) appointed or elected to fill a vacancy of such Board seat (other than any Director Nominee set forth herein), be and hereby is removed from the Board.”

Proposal 1C: “RESOLVED, that Margaret M. Foran, a current director on the Board, and any replacement director(s) appointed or elected to fill a vacancy of such Board seat (other than any Director Nominee set forth herein), be and hereby is removed from the Board.”

Proposal 1D: “RESOLVED, that Avedick B. Poladian, a current director on the Board, and any replacement director(s) appointed or elected to fill a vacancy of such Board seat (other than any Director Nominee set forth herein), be and hereby is removed from the Board.”

Proposal 1E: “RESOLVED, that the number of directors on the Board be expanded by such number of directors as necessary to accommodate the appointment of the Director Nominees approved by the stockholders pursuant to Proposal 2A-2D if an insufficient number of vacancies are created after the removal of directors pursuant to Proposal 1A-1D.”

Section 141(k) of the DGCL, provides that any director or the entire Board may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of the Company’s directors. The approval and passage of Proposal 1E is conditioned upon the passage of Proposal 3 that provides that the size of the Board may be fixed by a resolution adopted by a majority of stockholders from time to time.

Proposal 2A : “RESOLVED, that the following individual, John D. Hofmeister, be and hereby is elected or appointed to serve as a director of the Company to fill the vacancies created by the removal of directors pursuant to Proposal 1A-1D or expansion of the Board pursuant to Proposal 1E.”

Proposal 2B : “RESOLVED, that the following individual, Alan W. LeFevre, be and hereby is elected or appointed to serve as a director of the Company to fill the vacancies created by the removal of directors pursuant to Proposal 1A-1D or expansion of the Board pursuant to Proposal 1E.”

Proposal 2C : “RESOLVED, that the following individual, Nicholas Graziano, be and hereby is elected or appointed to serve as a director of the Company to fill the vacancies created by the removal of directors pursuant to Proposal 1A-1D or expansion of the Board pursuant to Proposal 1E.”

Proposal 2D : “RESOLVED, that the following individual, Andrew N. Langham, be and hereby is elected or appointed to serve as a director of the Company to fill the vacancies created by the removal of directors pursuant to Proposal 1A-1D or expansion of the Board pursuant to Proposal 1E.”

The director nominees named in Proposal 2A-2D are herein referred to individually as a “Director Nominee” and collectively, as the “Director Nominees.”

The Charter provides that all actions required or permitted to be taken by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock may be effected by the written consent of such holders pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL. Section 228 of the DGCL provides, in relevant part, that any action required to or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, if consents in writing are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The By-laws provide that unless otherwise required by law, the Charter or the By-laws, any question brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.

If Proposal 1E and Proposal 3 are not approved by stockholders, and the number of Director Nominees approved pursuant to Proposal 2A-2D are greater than the number of vacancies created after the removal of directors pursuant to Proposal 1A-1D, the approved Director Nominees will be appointed to fill such vacancies in an order of priority based upon those Director Nominees receiving the highest number of consents.

Proposal 3 : “RESOLVED, that the By-laws are hereby amended by replacing the first sentence of ARTICLE III, SECTION 1 with the following: ‘ Subject to the rights, if any, of holders of preferred stock issued by the Corporation to elect directors of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall consist of one or more directors, the number of which shall be established by resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or by a majority of stockholders from time to time .’”

In the event that Proposal 3 passes, Article III, Section 1 of the By-laws would be amended as set forth on Exhibit D-1.

Section 109 of the DGCL provides that the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws shall be in the stockholders entitled to vote. Section 216(2) of the DGCL, provides that in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. The Charter provides that all actions required or permitted to be taken by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock may be effected by the written consent of such holders pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL. Section 228 of the DGCL provides, in relevant part, that any action required to or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, if consents in writing are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

Proposal 4 : “RESOLVED, that the By-laws are hereby amended by replacing the first sentence of the third paragraph of ARTICLE III, SECTION 2 with the following: ‘ To be timely pursuant to this Section 2, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than seventy (70) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of an Annual Meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above .’”

In the event that Proposal 4 passes, Article III, Section 2 of the By-laws would be amended as set forth on Exhibit D-2.

Proposal 5 : “RESOLVED, that ARTICLE II, SECTION 3 of the By-laws is hereby amended as set forth in Exhibit D-3 hereto in order to provide simplified mechanics and a shortened timeline for calling a special meeting of stockholders.”

In the event that Proposal 5 passes, Article II, Section 3 of the By-laws would be amended as set forth on Exhibit D-3.

Proposal 6 : “RESOLVED, that the stockholders hereby request that the Board promptly act by designating a Strategic Review Committee of the Board, to consist of four directors of the Company, to be initially comprised of at least two of the Director Nominees, that shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, have and that may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in conducting a strategic review process, including the power to engage a financial advisor, the possible sale of assets of the company or a merger, sale, business combination or other extraordinary transaction involving the company.”

The vote sought by this Proposal 6 is advisory and is not binding on the Board. The Director Nominees, if elected, will support the formation of a Strategic Review Committee.

Proposal 7 : “RESOLVED, that the stockholders hereby request that the Board promptly act by proposing a stockholder resolution to amend Article V.A of the Charter as set forth on Exhibit E hereto in order to provide simplified mechanics and a shortened timeline for stockholder action by written consent.”

The vote sought by this Proposal 7 is advisory and is not binding on the Board. The Director Nominees, if elected, will support stockholders’ ability to act by written consent without the restrictive and burdensome requirements currently in place.

We believe that, if adopted by stockholders, the Proposals set forth above will lead to better governance and better oversight at the Company, which will lead to greater value for stockholders.

We are NOT soliciting proxies or consents at this time with respect to the Proposals. We will solicit consents in favor of the Proposals only by means of a consent solicitation statement and form of consent once the Written Notice has been delivered to the Company in accordance with the Charter and the Record Date has been fixed by the Company. At that time, you will be able to decide whether or not you want to support the Proposals.

The sole purpose of this solicitation, and the only effect of your return of the enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), and following the instructions below with respect to any of your shares of Company Common Stock held through a DTC participant, is to request the fixing of a Record Date. By returning the Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix I thereto) you are not committing to support the Proposals at this time.

ACCORDINGLY, WE URGE YOU TO COMPLETE, EXECUTE, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED RECORD DATE REQUEST FORM (TOGETHER WITH ATTACHMENT A AND APPENDIX 1 THERETO) TO HARKINS KOVLER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN, AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF YOUR SHARES OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK HELD THROUGH A DTC PARTICIPANT.

THE RECORD DATE REQUEST

Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) . The Icahn Participants are asking the stockholders to complete, execute, date and return the enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) to Harkins Kovler at the address set forth herein. We are furnishing this Solicitation Statement, the Record Date Request Forms (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) to enable you and the Company’s other stockholders to support us in requesting that the Company fix the Record Date.

Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form . The Icahn Participants are also asking stockholders to arrange for their DTC participant(s) to sign the Verification Letter with respect to their shares of Company Common Stock and to instruct DTC to cause Cede & Co., as DTC’s nominee, to sign and return the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to their DTC participant(s). Stockholders may do this by having their DTC participant(s) complete and sign the DTC Instruction Letter (included as Exhibit B-1 hereto) and the Verification Letter (included as Exhibit C hereto), and sending those documents to DTC. Upon DTC’s receipt of a completed DTC Instruction Letter and Verification Letter executed by a DTC participant, Cede & Co. will sign and return the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to the DTC participant. The DTC participant should return the executed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form from Cede & Co. along with their executed Verification Letter to the stockholder. The stockholder should then deliver the executed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), the Verification Letter and the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to Harkins Kovler, at the address set forth herein, which will gather such documents and provide them to the Icahn Participants for submission to the Company as part of the Written Notice.

Requisite Holders . For the Record Date to be properly requested in accordance with the Charter, the Written Notice must be signed by the Requisite Holders.

On the date of filing of this Solicitation Statement, the Icahn Participants are the beneficial holders of 33,244,429 shares of Company Common Stock. According to the Company’s Preliminary Revocation Solicitation Statement, as filed with the SEC on July 16, 2019, there were 748,348,543 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of July 11, 2019.

Based on the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, Record Date Requests and other required documents representing an aggregate of at least 149,669,709 shares of Company Common Stock, including the shares held by the Icahn Participants, will be required to request the fixing of the Record Date. The Icahn Participants anticipate submitting Written Notice to the Company’s Secretary on the first business day after the Icahn Participants believe that they have obtained Record Date Request Forms from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders. The Icahn Participants do not intend to set a date by which the Written Notice will be or must be submitted to the Company’s Secretary.

The Record Date Request Form and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form ask that the Record Date be fixed as soon as possible following the date on which the Written Notice is delivered to the Company’s Secretary. In the event the the Icahn Participants solicit the Requisite Percentage and the Record Date is fixed by the Company, we intend to solicit consents from you in support of the Proposals by sending you a consent solicitation statement and a form of consent for use therewith. At that time, you will be able to decide whether or not you want to support the Proposals

PROCEDURES FOR STOCKHOLDERS SUBMITTING RECORD DATE REQUEST FORMS (TOGETHER WITH ATTACHMENT A AND APPENDIX 1 THERETO), VERIFICATION LETTERS AND CEDE & CO. RECORD DATE REQUEST FORMS

Pursuant to this Solicitation Statement, the Icahn Participants are requesting that the stockholders of the Company request that the Company fix a Record Date in connection with the proposed actions by written consent by taking the following actions:

(1) complete, execute and date the Record Date Request Form attached hereto as Exhibit A, including the stockholder information required to be delivered as part of a Record Date Request Form (Attachment A thereto) and information regarding purchases and sales of Company securities by the requesting stockholder (Appendix 1 thereto), by which you will empower us to deliver your executed Record Date Request Forms, Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms and Verification Letters, as applicable, to the Company’s Secretary on your behalf,

(2) direct your DTC participant to complete and deliver the DTC Instruction Letter attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and the Verification Letter attached hereto as Exhibit C to DTC to cause Cede & Co. to execute and return the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form attached as Exhibit B-2 hereto to your DTC participant, and direct your DTC participant to return the executed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form and their executed Verification Letter to you, and

(3) deliver to Harkins Kovler at the address set forth in this Solicitation Statement your executed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms. We request that you not change in any way the Record Date Request Forms or the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms.

The enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) reflects our good faith effort to identify all the information required by the Charter and the related requirements in the By-laws in connection with the Written Notice. However, we believe that the Charter and By-laws requirements are difficult to interpret. We expect that the Company will take actions seeking to frustrate the fixing of the Record Date, including by claiming that Record Date Request Forms do not comply with the Charter in an attempt to avoid or delay the fixing of the Record Date. We encourage you to submit your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form, even if you cannot complete your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) in full or you believe your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and/or Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form may be defective; provided, however, that we reserve the right not to submit any Record Date Request Forms (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms if we believe that they do not comply with the Charter, By-laws or the DGCL. If we believe that your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and/or Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form does not so comply, or the Company notifies us of such non-compliance, we expect to contact you to describe the potential defect(s) and to provide instructions as to how uncertainty regarding the validity of your documentation can be eliminated.

Procedures for Custodians, Nominees and Fiduciaries Arranging for Execution of Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms . Stockholders should direct their DTC participant(s) through which they hold their shares of Company Common Stock to:

(1) complete and sign the Verification Letter included as Exhibit C hereto for the same aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock as the DTC participant holds of record for such stockholder;

(2) complete and sign the DTC Instruction Letter included as Exhibit B-1 hereto for the same aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock as the DTC participant holds of record for such stockholder;

(3) complete the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form included as Exhibit B-2 hereto for the same aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock as the DTC participant holds of record for such stockholder; and

(3) send the duly completed and signed DTC Instruction Letter, Verification Letter and the duly completed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to DTC by email and overnight mail, thereby instructing DTC to cause Cede & Co., DTC’s nominee, to sign and return the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to the DTC participant;

(4) immediately upon receiving the signed Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form from Cede & Co., return the Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form executed by Cede & Co., along with the Verification Letter executed by such DTC participant, to the stockholder.

Please note that DTC may take at least 48 hours to execute and return a Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form. We urge you to send the form of DTC Instruction Letter, the Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form to your DTC participant as soon as possible so that they may be processed on a timely basis.

Regardless of whether you hold your shares through a DTC participant, you must still complete, sign, date and return the enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto) to Harkins Kovler at the address set forth in this Solicitation Statement.

Sales of Your Company Common Stock . If any portion of your shares of Company Common Stock is sold prior to the date that the Written Notice is delivered to the Company, your Record Date Request Form will be deemed revoked to the extent of such sale. Therefore, we request that you not sell any portion of your shares (or otherwise reduce your ownership of the shares as to which you have submitted a Record Date Request Form) until after the date that the Written Notice is delivered to the Company by the Icahn Participants. Stockholders are entitled to request that a Record Date be fixed by the Board only with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock owned by the stockholders as of the date the Written Notice is delivered to the Company.

Updates to Your Record Date Request Form . If there is any update that needs to be made with respect to the information you provided in your Record Date Request Form after your submission, please further update and supplement the information as necessary and send it to Harkins Kovler at the address and telephone number set forth in this Solicitation Statement.

Written Notice for fixing Record Date . If we receive executed Record Date Request Forms (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letters and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Forms from the Requisite Percentage of stockholders, we intend to request the Secretary of the Company to promptly fix the Record Date. Please note that the delivery of the enclosed Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form will not commit you to cast any vote in respect of any Proposal . In the event the the Icahn Participants solicit the Requisite Percentage and the Record Date is fixed by the Company, we intend to solicit consents from you in support of the Proposals by sending you a consent solicitation statement and a form of consent for use therewith.

Revocation Procedure . Stockholders who have executed and delivered a Record Date Request Form may revoke it at any time before it is delivered by the Icahn Participants to the Company, by delivering an instrument revoking the Record Date Request Form, to Harkins Kovler at the address set forth in this Solicitation Statement.

Questions and Assistance .

Your Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form, as applicable, are important, no matter how many or how few shares of Company Common Stock you own. The failure to sign and return the Record Date Request Form (together with Attachment A and Appendix 1 thereto), Verification Letter and Cede & Co. Record Date Request Form, as applicable, will have the same effect as opposing the fixing of the Record Date.

ANNEX C

ICAHN CAPITAL LP

July __, 2019

To the undersigned potential nominee:

This will confirm our understanding as follows:

You agree that you are willing, should we so elect, to become a member of a slate of nominees (the “ Slate ”) to be nominated for election as a director of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (“ Occidental ”) in connection with a proxy contest with management of Occidental in respect of a solicitation of written consents for the removal and election of directors of Occidental (the “ Proxy Contest ”).

Icahn Capital LP (“ Icahn ”) agrees to pay the costs of the Proxy Contest.

In addition, upon public disclosure of your agreement to be nominated for election in the Proxy Contest, you will be entitled to be paid $10,000 by us, unless you are elected to serve as a director of Occidental in the Proxy Contest or in connection with a settlement of the Proxy Contest by Icahn and Occidental, in which case you will become entitled to receive from Occidental the same compensation paid to all other non-employee directors and will not receive any payment from us in connection with the Proxy Contest. Payment to you pursuant to this paragraph, if any, will be made by us, subject to the terms hereof, upon the earliest of (i) the certification of the results of the election in respect of the Proxy Contest, (ii) the settlement of the Proxy Contest by us and Occidental, or (iii) the withdrawal of the Proxy Contest by us, in each case following public disclosure of your agreement to be nominated for election in the Proxy Contest.

You understand that it may be difficult, if not impossible, to replace nominees who, such as yourself, have agreed to serve on the Slate and later change their minds and determine not to seek election. Accordingly, the Slate is relying upon your agreement to seek election. In that connection, you are being supplied with a questionnaire (the “ Questionnaire ”) in which you will provide Icahn with information necessary for Icahn to make appropriate disclosure both to Occidental and for use in creating the proxy material to be sent to stockholders of Occidental and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You have agreed that (A) you will immediately complete and sign the Questionnaire and return it to Mr. Andrew Langham, General Counsel, Icahn Enterprises L.P., 767 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4700, New York, NY 10153, Tel: (212) 702-4382, Email: alangham@sfire.com , and (ii) your responses to the questions contained in the Questionnaire will be true and correct in all respects. In addition, you have agreed that, concurrently with your execution of this letter, you will execute the instruments we have supplied you (1) consenting to being nominated by Icahn, or an affiliate thereof, for election as a director of Occidental and, if elected, consenting to serving as a director of Occidental, (2) representing that you have read and agree, if elected as a director of Occidental, to adhere to the Occidental’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and any other policies and guidelines of Occidental applicable to directors and (3) representing and agreeing that you are not and will not become party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity as to how you would vote or act on any issue or question as a director, in each case that has not been disclosed to Occidental. Upon being notified that we have chosen you, we may forward those instruments and your completed Questionnaire to Occidental.

Icahn hereby agrees that, so long as you actually serve on the Slate, Icahn will defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements) incurred by you in the event that (i) you become a party, or are threatened to be made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal thereof relating solely to your role as a nominee for director of Occidental on the Slate (a “ Proceeding ”) or (ii) you are called to testify or give a deposition in any Proceeding (whether or not you are a party or are threatened to be made a party to such Proceeding), including, in each case, the advancement to you of all reasonable attorneys’ costs and expenses incurred by you in connection with any Proceeding. Your right of indemnification hereunder shall continue (i) in the event that Icahn determines to withdraw the Slate or remove you from the Slate and (ii) after the election has taken place but only for events which occur prior to such election and subsequent to the date hereof. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Icahn is not defending, indemnifying or holding you harmless for any action taken by you or on your behalf which occurs prior to the date hereof or subsequent to the Proxy Contest or such earlier time as you are no longer a nominee of the Slate for election to Occidental’s Board of Directors or for any actions taken by you as a director of Occidental, if you are elected or appointed. Nothing herein shall be construed to provide you a defense, indemnity or the right to be held harmless: (i) in the event you are found to have engaged in a violation of any provision of state or federal law in connection with the Proxy Contest unless you demonstrate that your action was taken in good faith and in a manner you reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of electing the Slate; or (ii) if you acted in a manner which constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that you shall make any claim for defense, indemnification or being held harmless hereunder, you shall promptly notify Icahn in the event of any third-party claims actually made against you or known by you to be threatened. In addition, with respect to any such claim, Icahn shall be entitled to control your defense with counsel chosen by Icahn. Icahn shall not be responsible for any settlement of any claim against you covered by this indemnity without its prior written consent. However, Icahn may not enter into any settlement of any such claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.

Each of us recognizes that should you be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of Occidental all of your activities and decisions as a director will be governed by applicable law and subject to your fiduciary duty to the stockholders of Occidental and, as a result, that there is, and can be, no agreement between you and Icahn which governs the decisions which you will make as a director of Occidental.

Should the foregoing agree with your understanding, please so indicate in the space provided below, whereupon this letter will become a binding agreement between us.

	Very truly yours,

	ICAHN CAPITAL LP
