y Donziger, was to cause a "mass sell-off of billions in [Chevron] stock." In furtherance of
their scheme, the conspirators have staged protests at Chevron's shareholder meetings and at the
homes of members of Chevron's Board of Directors, and have issued false and misleading
propaganda to Chevron's shareholders about its liability in the Lago Agrio Litigation. In each

legitimate, and thus represents a major risk to Chevron's share value. Donziger described these
pressure tactics on shareholders as one of the "key cards we can play."

2008, Kohn appeared on a Fox News segment touting the "independent" Cabrera Report as a
reason for Chevron shareholders to be concerned. [n that interview, Kohn insinuated that
Chevron was hiding information regarding Cabrera's "independent" damage assessment, stating
"shareholders were [recently] informed for the first time of even the existence of the case
although the original case was filed in the u.s. in the 90s." He then warned that "shareholders
