2018 Overview

Our business further strengthened in 2018 as we continued to build for a longer industry recovery. The industry experienced headwinds in North America during the latter half of the year as a result of offtake capacity constraints and customer budget limitations, but we believe these issues are temporary in nature. We successfully maintained our global market share in 2018, which was accomplished by our investments in strategic growth areas and by competing in key markets as we continue to align our business with customers in the fastest growing market segments. We continue to collaborate and engineer solutions to maximize asset value for our customers and to maximize returns for our shareholders.

We are well prepared for the current market environment in order to deliver leading returns for our shareholders. As we have proven over the years and demonstrated in 2018, our differentiating technology, our people, our customer alignment, and our financial discipline position us well to thrive in any market condition. During the 2018 performance year, we delivered the following results:

We generated $24.0 billion of total company revenue, a 16% increase from 2017, with improvements across all of our product service lines globally. Additionally, our total company operating income was $2.5 billion during 2018. These results and improvements were primarily attributed to pressure pumping services, drilling activity, and artificial lift in North America, as well as drilling activity in the Eastern Hemisphere.

In our Completion and Production division, we capitalized on the market recovery in North America, delivering total year revenue growth of 22% and operating income growth of 40% year-over-year.

Our Drilling and Evaluation division delivered 6% revenue and 3% operating income improvement year-over-year, reflecting the emerging recovery in the international markets.

We continued our focus on delivering strong cash flow and returning capital to shareholders. We generated approximately $3.2 billion in operating cash flow, retired $400 million in debt, and returned over $1 billion to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

We delivered TSR over the three-, five-, and ten-year period ending December 31, 2018, that exceeded the TSR of the Oilfield Services Index (OSX), our direct peers, and our performance peer group.

We delivered superior ROCE performance over the one-, three-, and five-year period ending December 31, 2018, relative to the OSX, our direct peers, and our performance peer group. The details are depicted in the chart below:

2021 Strategic Priorities

 

If you hold your sharesAs we began 2021, we identified the following focus areas in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date.

You may not bring cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases, or packages into the Annual Meeting.

If you attend the Annual Meeting, you may vote in person. If you are not present, you can only vote your shares if you have voted via the Internet, by telephone, or returned a properly executed proxy; in these cases, your shares will be voted as you specify. If you return a properly executed proxy and do not specify a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. You may revoke the authorization given in your proxy at any time before the shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.

The record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the close of business on March 18, 2019. Our common stock, par value $2.50 per share, is our only class of capital stock that is outstanding. As of March 18, 2019, there were 872,764,135 shares of our stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting. We will keep a complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at our principal executive office for ten days before and will have the list available at the Annual Meeting. Our principal executive office is located at 3000 N. Sam Houston Parkway East, Administration Building, Houston, Texas 77032.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the persons we appoint to act as election inspectors for the Annual Meeting. Except as set forth below, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the shareholders. Shares for which a shareholder has elected to abstain on a matter will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and, except as set forth below, will have the effect of a vote against the matter.

Each Director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast by holders of shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of Directors, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected and all shareholder-proposed nominees have not been withdrawn before the tenth (10th) day preceding the day we mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to shareholders for the Annual Meeting, the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a Director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that Director; we will not count abstentions. As a condition to being nominated by the Board for continued service as a Director, each Director nominee has signed and delivered to the Board an irrevocable letter of resignation limited to and conditioned on that Director failing to achieve a majority of the votes cast at an election where Directors are elected by majority vote. For any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority of votes cast, where Directors are elected by majority vote, his or her irrevocable letter of resignation will be deemed tendered on the date the election results are certified. Such resignation shall only be effective upon acceptance by the Board.

The election inspectors will treat broker non-vote shares, which are shares held in street name that cannot be voted by a broker on specific matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. In determining the outcome of any matter for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, however, those shares will not have any effect on that matter. A broker may be entitled to vote those shares on other matters.

In accordance with our confidential voting policy, no particular shareholder’s vote will be disclosed to our officers, Directors, or employees, except:2020 Form 10-K:

 

as necessaryInternational:We are stronger technically, geographically, and organizationally; we see an unfolding activity recovery and are well positioned to meet legal requirements and to assert claims for and defend claims against us;drive profitable growth internationally.

Overall, our Completion and Production and Drilling and Evaluation operating segments finished the year with 15% and 12% operating margins, respectively, and generated strong cash flows from operations.
Digital:Our accelerated deployment and integration of digitally enabled technologies created technical differentiation in the market and contributed to our higher margins.

Our executive compensation program is composed of base salary, a short-term incentive, and long-term incentives and is designed to achieve the following objectives:

Provide a clear and direct relationship between executive pay and our performance on both a short-term and long-term basis;
Target market competitive pay levels with a comparator peer group;
Emphasize operating performance drivers;

Our Year-round Shareholder Engagement (page 13)

In 2021, independent Board members offered off-season meetings to 34 of our top shareholders representing 60% of our shares.
A refreshed shareholder presentation highlighted the latest information about our Board oversight and corporate governance; executive compensation program; health, safety, and environment (HSE) performance and strategies; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) performance and strategies; and our approach to energy transition.
Board members and management conducted video conferences with 18 shareholders representing about 40% of our shares and with the two largest proxy advisors, Institutional Services Shareholder (ISS) and Glass Lewis.
Participants included Murry Gerber, Chair of the Compensation Committee or Bob Malone, Lead Independent Director, and senior management.
Also, our senior management and Investor Relations team participated in 13 sell-side conferences, three non-deal roadshows, and approximately 300 investor meetings that are all part of our ongoing shareholder outreach cadence.
Our senior management and directors presented shareholder feedback to the full Board of Directors for discussion. As a result of these engagements and Board consideration of investor feedback, we enhanced Board governance and included ESG-related metrics in our annual incentive plan effective January 1, 2022.

The Board of Directorsand Standing Committees of Directors

 

The Board has standing Audit; Compensation; Health, Safety and Environment; and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each standing Committee is comprised of Directors who, in the business judgment of the Board, are independent, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, including the independence standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

 

Our independence standards meet New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, independence requirements. Our independence standards and compliance with those standards are periodically reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. There were no relevant transactions, relationships,arrangements, or arrangementsrelationships not disclosed in this proxy statement that were considered by the Board in making its determination as to the independence of the Directors.

 

Board Leadership

 

Our Board believes that it is important to maintain flexibility to determine the appropriate leadership of the Board and whether the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separate. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board consider annually whether it is appropriate for the same individual to fill both of those roles. When making that determination, the Board considers issues such as industry and financial expertise, in-depth knowledge of Halliburton and its business, and succession planning. At its latest annual review,In 2021, the Board decided that a combined leadership role would currently best serve the needs of the Company and its shareholders. On January 1, 2019, theThe Board appointedbelieves that Jeffrey A. Miller, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman.with his industry expertise, financial expertise, and in-depth knowledge of Halliburton and its business, is the correct person to fill both roles. The Board also believes that Mr. Miller is best suited to lead the Board’s discussion and evaluation of the Company’s business, financial, and health, safety, environment, and sustainability strategy and performance. With the exception of Mr. Miller, the Board is composed of independent Directors.

 

Robert A. Malone is our Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director’s role and responsibilities are set forth in the Lead Independent Director Charter adopted by the Board. These include serving as a liaison between the independent Directors and the Chairman; approving agendas for Board meetings; presiding over meetings and executive sessions of the independent Directors; and leading the Board’s annual evaluation of the CEO. following:

Board and Committee Oversight

Enhancements to ESG Oversight

Based on our commitment to provide thorough oversight of ESG risks, opportunities, and strategy, the Halliburton Board of Directors conducted a detailed analysis of our Board structure in 2021. We performed an extensive review of other Board structures and consulted with our shareholders and leading experts. The analysis found that our Board structure and oversight provide a leading model for good governance. Through the review, we also identified an opportunity for Halliburton to dedicate a committee to oversee ESG and elevated the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for oversight of these issues. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees ESG, each committee is responsible for different aspects of ESG, as outlined in each respective charter. The Board sharpened its overall ESG oversight of the Company by focusing more time on these matters in both committee and full Board meetings, as well as in our engagements with Halliburton’s shareholders. By engaging regularly with shareholders and other outside experts to discuss sustainability topics, the Board can more effectively prioritize relevant ESG issues within our overall corporate strategy. During outreach, our shareholders endorsed this oversight structure and other governance enhancements.

Below are the primary oversight responsibilities of our Board’s committees, with newly expanded or clarified responsibilities bolded:

*The Board also enhanced its oversight of cybersecurity to include a quarterly update to the full Board of Directors.

The Board believes that it has a strong governance structure in place to ensure independent oversight on behalf of all shareholders. All standing Committees of the Board are comprised solely of independent Directors. Below is a discussion of some of these areas of oversight.

Political and Lobbying Spending

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for oversight of political expenditures, payments to trade associations, and lobbying activity. In 2021, we published a comprehensive report (Halliburton Policies for Political Engagement) on our annual political activity. The report is available on our website at www.halliburton.com.

www.halliburton.comHALLIBURTON  |  2022Proxy Statement8
Back to Contents

Notable highlights from this report include:

Zero corporate contributions made directly to political parties or candidates
Zero corporate contributions used to support ballot measures
Prohibitions against using corporate funds to contribute to 527 and 501(c)(4) organizations
Board oversight of the Company’s strategy for political engagement

For our efforts, in 2021 we scored an 80% on the CPA-Zicklin index. Developed by the Wharton School of Business, Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research, this index scores corporations on the transparency and accountability demonstrated within their political engagement policies. The index uses 24 scoring elements focused on political contributions, trade associations, and political action committee (PAC) activities to calculate a raw score. Halliburton’s raw score of 56 points places us within the top 20% of all companies.

Enterprise Risk OversightManagement

 

We have implemented an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program to identify and analyze enterprise-level risks and their potential impact on our business. The objectives of our ERM program are to:

 

increase the probability of achieving higher returns on capital and reducing cash flow volatility by identifying:
increase the probability of achieving higher returns on capital and reducing cash flow volatility by identifying:
 current and developing risks; and
 significant controls and potential gaps related to identified risks;
ensure that our key risks are being effectively managed; and
assess whether our compensation policies are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on us.

 

Our internal processes to identify and manage risks include our Code of Business Conduct,Conduct; extensive policies and business practices, ourpractices; financial controls,controls; Internal Assurance Services audits of our internal controls and health, safety, environment, and service quality,sustainability; the activities of the Ethics &and Compliance group of the Law Department,Department; and our ERM program.

 

The Board provides oversight of the ERM program. The Audit Committee receives an annual ERM report on risk assessment and risk management in which risks are identified and assigned a significance rating based on potential consequences of the risk and the likelihood of occurrence.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, who is primarily responsible for managing our day-to-day business, is ultimately responsible to the Board for all risk categories. Our executive officers are assigned responsibility for the various risk categories. The Board has delegated to its Committees the responsibility to monitor certain risks and receivesreceive regular updates on those risks. Certain risks monitored by each Committee are shown below.

 

Independent CommitteesCybersecurity

 

The frequency and sophistication of global attacks on corporate IT systems containing sensitive information have increased. Halliburton takes each threat seriously and dedicates significant resources to protect our IT systems and data, in alignment with industry security standards, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53. In response, our Board believes that it hasof Directors now receives quarterly updates on cybersecurity matters, and our Audit Committee receives an annual, in-depth review.

Climate Initiatives

The Health, Safety and Environment Committee is responsible for oversight of our environmental impact, including climate matters. In 2021, under its guidance, we continued our steady march forward in meeting the goals of our science-based targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 40% by 2035 from our baseline year of 2018. We quantified and executed on opportunities to reduce emissions, and we are on track to meet our reduction targets. We also completed our climate scenario analysis, aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). For more information on our approach to climate change and our emissions reduction targets, please visit our Climate Change Statement on our website at www.halliburton.com.

ESG Elements of Pay and Incentive Plans

As a strong governance structureresult of our Listen and Respond shareholder outreach effort, and with the endorsement of our shareholders, the Compensation Committee decided, effective January 1, 2022, to include ESG-related metrics focused on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and DE&I — two of our main areas of focus — in place to ensure independent oversight on behalf of all shareholders. All standing Committeesour annual incentive plan. ESG-related metrics will comprise 20% of the Board are comprised solelytotal award, with achievement of independent Directors.

Evaluation of Board and Director Performance

 

The Board believes that a rigorous evaluation process is an essential component of strong corporate governance practices. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually conducts a three-partfour-part evaluation process to evaluate Board effectiveness and aid in succession planning. This process consists of a full Board evaluation, Committee evaluations, and individual Director evaluations. The evaluations, which are distributed and obtained through a third party platform, seek feedback on Board and Committee performance, processes, effectiveness, and opportunities for improvement. The results of the evaluations are reviewed and discussed with the Board, its Committees, and each individual Director.

 

As part of the annual process, each Director also completes a skill set survey. The Board uses the survey responses to evaluate the experience and expertise of existing Directors and to identify the skills and characteristics of future Director candidates to achieve and maintain an optimum mix of skills and characteristics.

Process for the Selection of New Directors

Refreshment

 

The Board is responsible for filling vacancies on the Board and ensuring regular refreshment of the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that each non-management Director shall retire from the Board immediately prior to the annual meeting of shareholders following his or her seventy-second (72seventy-fifth (75ndth) birthday. The Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the duty of selecting and recommending candidates to the Board for approval.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for Board membership recommended by Board members, our management, and shareholders. The Committee may also retain an independent executive search firm to identify candidates for consideration and to gather additional information about the candidate’s background, experience, and reputation. Ms. Young was identified as a potential Director candidate by an executive officer. Mr. Cummings was identified as a potential Director candidate by a non-management Director. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a candidate should notify our Corporate Secretary.

 

This process resulted in enhancement of our Board over the last several years with the addition of three female Directors, one of which is ethnically diverse, and two ethnically diverse male Directors. Ms. Young and Mr. Cummings joined the Board in 2022. Ms. Young contributes technology, governance, policy making, and regulatory experience. Mr. Cummings contributes leadership in technology solutions and entrepreneurship. Mr. Patel joined the Board in 2021. His chemical industry experience benefits us greatly as we expand our chemicals business. Dr. Banks and Ms. Hemingway Hall joined the Board in 2019. Dr. Banks contributes extensive experience in engineering and technology to the Board as well as her perspective as the President of a major research university. While she decided not to stand for re-election to the Board, due solely to a personal decision related to health and travel issues associated with the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and endemic, Ms. Hemingway Hall contributed substantial public company and corporate governance experience.

Shareholder Engagement

Halliburton values ongoing, open shareholder dialogue to ensure that the Board and management have a regular pulse on investors’ views. This dialogue also provides valuable feedback on how we can continue to improve.

Following our 2021 Annual Meeting, the Board recommitted to more active shareholder engagement. We enhanced shareholder communications, refreshed our shareholder presentation, opened additional availability for director video calls, and listened and responded to shareholders about possible changes to governance and executive compensation.

In 2021, independent Board members offered and held off-season meetings with representatives from our top shareholders to gain a better understanding of their priorities and concerns prior to the proxy voting season. We offered these meetings to 34 shareholders representing approximately 60% of our shares. Each received the opportunity to meet with Board members by video conference. For those unable to attend,

Directors’Compensation

 

Directors’ Fees

 

All non-management Directors receive an annual retainer of $115,000, which remains unchanged since 2014. The Lead Independent Director receives an additional annual retainer of $30,000, and the chair of each Committee receives an additional annual retainer for serving as chair as follows: Audit - $25,000; Compensation - $20,000; Health, Safety and Environment -$15,000;- $15,000; and Nominating and Corporate Governance - $15,000. Non-management Directors are permitted to defer all or part of their fees under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

Directors’ Equity Awards

 

All non-management Directors receive an annual equity award with a value of approximately $185,000, which remains unchanged since 2014, consisting of restricted stock units (RSUs), each of which represents the right to receive a share of common stock at a future date. These annual awards are made in December. The actual number of RSUs is determined by dividing $185,000 by the average of the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on each business day during the month of July. These annual awards are made on or about the first day of August.November. The value of the award may be more or less than $185,000 based on the methodology described above for determining the number of RSUs to be awarded and the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the award. Non-management Directors are permitted to defer all of their RSUs under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

Additionally, when a non-management Director first joins the Board, he or she receives an equity award shortly thereafter of RSUs equal to a prorated value of the annual equity award of $185,000. The factor used to determine the prorated award is the number of whole months of service from the beginning of the month in which Board service begins to the following first of December divided by 12. The number of RSUs awarded is determined by dividing the prorated award amount by the average of the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on each business day during the month immediately preceding the Director joining the Board.

Directors may not sell, assign, pledge, otherwise transfer, or encumber restricted shares (which were previously granted to non-management Directors) or RSUs until the restrictions are removed. RestrictionsBeginning in 2020 and to align our practices with peer companies, restrictions on RSUs lapse 25% a year over four yearsentirely on the first anniversary of servicethe grant date with the applicable underlying shares of common stock distributed annually to the non-management Director unless the Director elected to defer receipt of the shares under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan. Restrictions on RSUs granted prior to 2020 lapse 25% a year over four years. If a non-management Director has a separation of service from the Board before completing four yearsthe specified number of service years from the applicable award date, any unvested RSUs would be forfeited, unless the Board determines to accelerate vesting. Restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs lapse following termination of Board service only under specified circumstances, which include death or disability, retirement under the Director mandatory retirement policy, or early retirement after at least four years of service.

 

During the restriction period, Directors have the right to (i) vote restricted shares, but not shares underlying RSUs, and (ii) receive dividends or dividend equivalents in cash on restricted shares and RSUs that have not been deferred. RSUs that have been deferred receive dividend equivalents under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

 

Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan

 

The Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan and participation is completely voluntary. Under the plan, non-management Directors are permitted to defer all or part of their retainer fees and all of the shares of common stock underlying their RSUs when they vest. If a non-management Director elects to defer retainer fees under the plan, then the Director may elect to have his or her deferred fees accumulate under an interest-bearing account or translate on a quarterly basis into Halliburton common stock equivalent units (SEUs) under a stock equivalents account. If a non-management Director elects to defer receipt of the shares of common stock underlying his or her RSUs when they vest, then those shares are retained as deferred RSUs under the plan. The interest-bearing account is credited daily with interest at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. The SEUs and deferred RSUs are credited quarterly with dividend equivalents based on the same dividend rate as Halliburton common stock and those amounts are translated into additional SEUs or RSUs, respectively.

 

HALLIBURTON  |  2022Proxy Statement21
Back to Contents

After a Director’s retirement, distributions under the plan are made to the Director in a single distribution or in annual installments over a 5- or 10-year period as elected by the Director. Distributions under the interest-bearing account are made in cash, while distributions of SEUs under the stock equivalents account and deferred RSUs are made in shares of Halliburton common stock. Mses.Ms. Dicciani and Reed, and Messrs. Al Khayyal, Bennett, Boyd,Carroll, and CarrollPatel have deferred retainer fees under the plan. Dr. Banks, Mses. Dicciani and Reed,Hemingway Hall, and Messrs. Al Khayyal, Albrecht, Bennett, Boyd, Carroll, Grubisich, and MartinPatel have deferred RSUs under the plan.

Directors’ Stock Ownership Requirements

 

We have stock ownership requirements for all non-management Directors to further align their interests with our shareholders. As a result, all non-management Directors are required to own Halliburton common stock in an amount equal to or in excess of the greater of (A)(i) the annual base retainer in effect on the date the non-management Director is first elected to the Board multiplied by five or (B)(ii) $500,000. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the holdings of all non-management Directors, which include restricted shares, other Halliburton common stock, and RSUs owned by the Director, at each May meeting. Each non-management Director has five years to meet the requirements, measured from the date he or she is first elected to the Board. Each non-management Director currently meets the stock ownership requirements or is on track to do so within the requisite five-year period.

Charitable Contributions and Other Benefits

Matching Gift Programs

 

To further our support for charities, Directors may participate in the Halliburton Foundation’s matching gift programs for educational institutions, not-for-profit hospitals, and medical foundations. For each eligible contribution, the Halliburton Foundation makes a contribution of 2.25 times the amount contributed by the Director, subject to approval by its Trustees. The maximum aggregate of all contributions each calendar year by a Director eligible for matching is $50,000, resulting in a maximum aggregate amount contributed annually by the Halliburton Foundation in the form of matching gifts of $112,500 for any Director who participates in the programs. Neither the Halliburton Foundation nor we have made a charitable contribution, within the preceding three years, to any charitable organization in which a Director serves as an employee or an immediate family member of the Director serves as an executive officer that exceeds in any single year the greater of $1 million or 2% of such charitable organization’s consolidated gross revenues.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, oversight of the work, and evaluation of the principal independent public accountants retained to audit our financial statements. The Audit Committee and Board have approved the selection of KPMG LLP as our principal independent public accountants to examine our financial statements and books and records for the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, and a resolution will be presented at the Annual Meeting to ratify this selection. The Audit Committee and Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG to serve as our principal independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2022, is in the best interests of Halliburton and our shareholders. Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

 

KPMG began serving as our principal independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Audit Committee routinely reviews the performance and retention of our independent public accountants, including an evaluation of service quality, the nature and extent of non-audit services, and other factors required to be considered when assessing independence from Halliburton and its management. The Audit Committee also periodically considers whether there should be a rotation of the principal independent public accountants.

As we communicated to our shareholders last year,accountants and is involved in the Audit Committee decided to submit a request for proposal to several public accounting firms, including KPMG, to serve as our principal independent public accountants forselection of the year ending December 31, 2019. We obtained proposals from three multinational professional services firms. After managementPrincipal Independent Public Accountants’ lead engagement partner and the Audit Committee considered the firms’ proposals and conducted thorough interviewsmandated rotation process of the firms, the Audit Committee determined to engage KPMG as our principal independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2019. The Audit Committee and Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG to serve as our principal independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2019, is in the best interests of Halliburton and our shareholders.such partner.

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is needed to approve the proposal.

 

If the shareholders do not ratify the selection of KPMG, the Board will reconsider the selection of independent public accountants.

Compensation Discussionand Analysis

2018 CD&A At-A-Glance

This year’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) reviews the objectives and elements of Halliburton’s executive compensation program and discusses the 2018 compensation earned by our NEOs. It also explains the actions the Compensation Committee took based on its ongoing commitment to consider shareholder feedback and to ensure our senior leadership team continues to deliver the reliable execution and industry-leading growth, margins, and returns that our shareholders expect. During 2018, we:

Continued robust shareholder engagement, with a key focuson executive compensation mattersContacted shareholders representing more than 52%of our outstanding common stock to obtain their viewson our program. We met with shareholders representingapproximately 31% of our outstanding common stock
Increased Board involvement in shareholder engagementMembers of the Compensation Committee, including theChair, participated in shareholder meetings
Discontinued special or one-time stock awardsDetermined that special or one-time grants will not bemade for internal promotions
Approved new “double-trigger” change-of-control provisionsAmended the Stock and Incentive Plan on February 13,2019, for future grants, subject to shareholder approval
Eliminated other executive benefits and perquisitesAmended our policies to eliminate other benefits andperquisites that are not provided to all employees

Our business continued to strengthen in 2018 with the Company delivering year-over-year revenue growth in all of our 14 product service lines globally. We delivered total company revenue of $24.0 billion, operating income of $2.5 billion, and earnings per diluted share of $1.89. We also generated approximately $3.2 billion in operating cash flow, retired $400 million in debt, and returned over $1 billion to our shareholders.

The Company created shareholder value by generating earnings in excess of our cost of capital of $788 million in Cash Value Added (CVA) for 2018. Our Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) for the three-year period ending December 31, 2018, was 0.73%, which positioned the Company above the 75thpercentile relative to our performance peer group. Additionally, our 2018 ROCE was greater than 10%, which exceeded our cost of capital.

More information about our 2018 business achievements, and the resulting compensation actions taken by the Compensation Committee, are summarized below.

Key Activities

Compensation Discussion and ChangesAnalysis

To Our Valued Shareholders:

April 5, 2022

 

Board ResponsivenessOur executive compensation program has evolved dramatically over the last few years. With your feedback, we have built a solid and responsible compensation platform to Shareholder Feedbacksupport a stable, high-performing executive leadership team committed to creating long-term shareholder value and driving sustainable, safe, and reliable energy solutions through any market conditions.

 

Murry S. Gerber
Chair of the Compensation Committee

At Halliburton, we listen and respond. It is the Board’s priority to ensure that we hear your concerns, answer your questions, and respond to your feedback on all aspects of our business. This includes our executive compensation program, which has always maintained open communicationsbeen a key area of focus for the last several years.

Our primary goal as a Compensation Committee is simple: to put forth a strongly supported executive compensation program that aligns the interests of our shareholders and executives and that’s well understood. In recent years, the valuable feedback we’ve received from you, as well as from the proxy advisory firms and independent consultants, has resulted in substantial changes and meaningful progress toward this goal. But after last year’s say-on-pay advisory vote result, and what we learned from a year of intense shareholder outreach and engagement efforts (described in detail on page 32), we know we can do better.

In 2021, we initiated a heightened, Board-driven shareholder outreach and engagement campaign. Through this intensified effort, we learned that most of our largest shareholders understand the methodology behind our program and strongly support the changes implemented in 2019 and 2020. We welcomed suggestions for increased emphasis on ESG-related metrics and additional progress on our communications. But this two-year transition period still left some with questions and confusion around the shift in our performance award structure and the presentation in the Summary Compensation Table. To help clarify this complicated issue, we spent significant time on this topic in our investor presentation materials and during our face-to-face video conferences, especially since we are faced with this issue for one more year as described in this proxy statement.

This proxy statement has been updated with the shareholder community. Seekingaim to clearly and accurately describe our program so that all our investors can cast their say-on-pay advisory votes based on an informed analysis. We also want you to have a complete view of how your feedback has influenced — and driven — the design of our program over the years, including two key changes we’ve approved for 2022: implementing ESG metrics in our Annual Performance Pay Plan and aligning the timing of restricted stock and performance unit grants for long-term incentives. On pages 33-34, Murry S. Gerber, the Chair of our Compensation Committee, addresses recent questions we’ve received from our shareholders on a regular basis is a critical part ofto provide additional clarity around the rationale for our approach to managingexecutive pay. And, on pages 35-36, we offer a closer look at CEO pay and share key content from the investor presentation materials we used during our executive compensation program. During 2018, members2021 engagement campaign to address the complexities in our Summary Compensation Table.

We appreciate the care you will take in reading this year’s Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A). We are confident it will demonstrate that our program is designed to align the interests of our senior management team participated in over 100 shareholder meetings and 18 conferences. We also engaged in targeted outreach with numerous shareholders to discuss corporate governance, executive compensation, and sustainability. Our current and incoming Compensation Committee chairs participated in this outreach effortexecutives with our major shareholders.long-term shareholders, is dutifully governed, and well-positioned to continue to attract, engage, and retain the high-caliber leadership talent needed to lead Halliburton through today’s demands for energy and well into the future.

 

This past year, following the 2018 Annual Meeting, we adjusted certain features of our program as part of our commitment to respond to shareholder feedback:Sincerely,

What we heardWhat we did
Concern about the one-time stock awards granted in 2017 as part of our CEO succession plan Eliminated special or one-time stock grants for internal promotions  
We should eliminate the single-trigger vesting upon change-of-control   We are asking shareholders to approve amendments to our Stock   and Incentive Plan that will implement a double-trigger vesting   provision upon a change-of-control  
Some executive perquisites were unnecessary Eliminated several executive benefits/perquisites

NEWLY IMPLEMENTED CHANGES

No special or one-time stock grants to any of the NEOs. There will be no special or one-time stock grants for internal promotions. This new practice was followed in the recent internal promotions of both our Chief Financial Officer in November 2018 and the President of the Western Hemisphere in February 2019 who received no special stock grants.
Adopted “double-trigger” vesting provisions. The Stock and Incentive Plan was amended on February 13, 2019, subject to shareholder approval, to implement a new double-trigger vesting provision upon a change-of-control.
Eliminated other executive benefits and perquisites that are not provided to all employees.The following table summarizes the changes:
Executive Benefit/PerquisiteExplanation
Tax Gross Ups on Corporate AircraftNEOs will no longer receive tax gross ups for personal use of Corporate Aircraft.
Country Club Memberships DuesNEOs will no longer receive reimbursement for country club dues.
Financial PlanningNEOs will no longer receive reimbursement for financial planning expenses.
Executive PhysicalsNEOs will no longer receive company-paid executive physicals.

 

The Compensation Committee also considers advice from its independent consultant, and continually reviewsof the executive compensation program to ensure alignment with our shareholders’ interests, strategic goals, and current market practices.

While continuing to emphasize performance-based pay, we have responded to shareholder feedback and made enhancements to our program over the years, including:Board of Directors

 

Modified our long-term incentive mix to more heavily weight it towards performance units.
Modified the metrics in our Performance Unit Program to 100% relative ROCE which measures our profitability and capital efficiency.
Increased the level of disclosure with regard to our target setting, metric selection rationale, and the associated payout calculation under our short- and long-term incentive plans.

Our ongoing, open dialogue with our shareholders helps ensure that the Board and management have a regular pulse on shareholder perspectives. It validates that our shareholders continue to be broadly supportive of the overall philosophy, objectives, and design of our program. It also gives us perspective on where we can make adjustments to improve and better explain our program.

Performance Metrics Incentivize Shareholder Value Creation

Through our shareholder outreach in 2018, the significant majority of shareholders with whom we spoke reiterated that they agree with our choice and the mix of absolute and relative performance measures in the incentive plans. They also expressed appreciation for how we described them during our outreach discussions:

Short-term (annual) incentives depend on the achievement of two financial performance metrics – Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) and Capital Charge. Together, these metrics (captured as Cash Value Added (CVA)) measure how successfully we maximize profit while minimizing capital investments. Shareholders value this performance measure because it has both income statement and balance sheet metrics that are focused on our ability to manage cash and generate earnings, especially given our capital intensive cyclically-driven business.

Long-term performance incentives depend on relative Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). ROCE measures our profitability, as well as our capital deployment efficiency, against our performance peer group. We consistently receive positive feedback about the mix of equity in our long-term incentives, especially the use of ROCE as the primary performance measure in our long-term incentive program.

Why CVA and ROCE?

In making decisions about the executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee has historically approved the use of relevant absolute and relative financial metrics that reward profitable growth above the cost of capital. The current mix of performance metrics in our incentive plans strongly support our returns-focused strategy, which is intended to achieve superior growth and returns for our shareholders by delivering technology and services that improve efficiency and maximize recovery for our customers.

Enhancing Our Shareholder Outreach and Board Activity

2018 Overview

Halliburton prioritizes open communications with its shareholders. Our ongoing, open dialogue helps ensure that the Board and management have a regular pulse on investors’ views and also provides valuable feedback on how we can continue to improve.

 

Our businessAfter the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Board recognized the need to take its shareholder engagement activity to a new level. We actively engaged with the majority of Halliburton’s shareholders, including many that hadn’t been reached in the past. They were invited to join the Chair of the Compensation Committee or our Lead Independent Director, and members of senior management, in face-to-face video conferences. Prior to each conference, we provided materials highlighting the latest information on our executive compensation program; Board oversight and governance; health, safety and the environment; diversity, equity and inclusion; and our approach to energy transition with Halliburton Labs. We also shared these materials with the shareholders that declined our invitation to meet with us. By the end of 2021, we communicated with shareholders collectively representing approximately 60% of our outstanding shares and had video call engagements with shareholders representing about 40% of our shares. These efforts were in addition to the 13 sell-side investor conferences, 3 roadshows, and about 300 investor meetings that are all part of our regular shareholder outreach cadence.

At the same time, the Board initiated an extensive internal review of the executive compensation program, with support from its independent compensation consultant, to determine if further strengthenedprogram adjustments were needed. With the significant changes made in 20182019 and 2020, along with validation of these changes from wide-ranging shareholder dialogues, the Compensation Committee determined that the overall structure of the redesigned program is sound, responsible, and fairly aligns the interests of both our shareholders and executives. However, there was opportunity for improvements, including aligning the timing of restricted stock and performance unit grants for long-term incentives and adding ESG-related metrics in measuring annual performance, both of which have been implemented for 2022. Moreover, we recognized the need to better describe the key components of our program, the changes we have made, and how these changes are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table.

Below is a summary of what we’ve heard from shareholders as part of our engagement activities over the last few years, and the actions we’ve taken regarding NEO compensation, as we continued to build for a longer industry recovery. We successfully maintained our global market share in 2018, which was accomplished by our investments in strategic growth areasconsidered and by competing in key markets as we continue to align our business with customers inaddressed the fastest growing market segments. Although the industry experienced headwinds in North America during the latter half of the year as a result of offtake capacity constraints and customer budget limitations, we believe these issues are temporary in nature. We continue to collaborate and engineer solutions to maximize asset value for our customers and to maximize returns for our shareholders.feedback.

 

We are well prepared for the current market environment in order to deliver leading returns for our shareholders. As we have proven over the years and demonstrated in 2018, our differentiating technology, our people, our customer alignment, and our financial discipline position us well to thrive in any market condition. During the 2018 performance year, we delivered the following results:Shareholders were seeking:

 

We generated $24.0 billion of total company revenue, a 16% increase from 2017, with improvements across all of our product service lines globally. Additionally, our total company operating income was $2.5 billion during 2018. These resultsIncreased emphasis on free cash flow and improvements were primarily attributed to pressure pumping services, drilling activity, and artificial lift in North America, as well as drilling activity in the Eastern Hemisphere.capital discipline
In our Completion and Production division, we capitalized on the market recovery in North America, delivering total year revenue growth of 22% and operating income growth of 40% year-over-year.Additional long-term performance component directly linked to stock price
Our Drilling and Evaluation division delivered 6% revenue and 3% operating income improvement year-over-year, reflecting the emerging recovery in the international markets.More emphasis on performance-based long-term incentives

Boardroom: Talking with Murry S. Gerber

 

www.halliburton.comOver the last few years, robust discussions with investors have led to meaningful and well-received changes to our executive compensation program. After the May 2021 say-on-pay advisory vote results, we reinvested in and refreshed our investor outreach efforts. Through direct shareholder engagement, we received excellent questions and feedback about aspects of our program. Below are the answers to representative shareholder questions from Murry S. Gerber, Chair of our Compensation Committee:

QWhat steps did you take to enhance your shareholder outreach and engagement efforts?
ADuring 2021, our Board directed a complete review and renewal of our approach to shareholder outreach and engagement. Our goal was to have substantive discussions with as many of our shareholders as possible, both active and passive, about all aspects of our program, and bring that feedback to our full Board. With a fresh approach and new outside input, we thoroughly reworked our presentation materials to focus on the most pressing shareholder concerns, primarily related to executive compensation and ESG. We also expanded the scope of our one-on-one engagements by adding Bob Malone, our Lead Director, to our outreach team that previously included myself and senior management. To enhance transparency and outreach, we provided our presentation and a commitment to follow up with those shareholders who could not engage directly with us. Several asked for a meeting after reviewing the presentation.
All this effort and these changes resulted in the most expansive shareholder outreach effort in Halliburton’s history and gave us a new perspective on important issues for the Board to consider. We will continue this refreshed approach in 2022 and beyond.
QHow is measuring long-term performance using 100% relative Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) — and not a mix of absolute and relative metrics — in the best interests of shareholders?
AAt Halliburton, we compete to win. Any company can perform well when markets are favorable, but only the best companies can outperform when market conditions are difficult. Our Board has directed Jeff Miller and his team to execute on strategies that drive superior returns (ROCE) — regardless of market conditions. Simply stated, we expect outperformance from Halliburton in all market scenarios and this expectation drives our thoughtful and disciplined deployment of capital.
Shareholders have historically agreed with this philosophy and supported us in 2015 when we changed long-term incentives from a mix of absolute and relative ROCE metrics to an exclusively relative ROCE metric.

   HALLIBURTON  |  20192022Proxy Statement    2833
 
 
QWhy does your Performance Unit Plan (PUP) allow for maximum pay-outs when returns are negative? Why don’t you “cap” pay-outs?
AThe Board believes a cap on long-term incentive awards in a highly volatile business like ours is a significant disincentive. Extreme stock price volatility driven by factors beyond management’s control is a consistent theme in our industry. We must balance this reality with our goal to keep senior management focused on driving superior performance against our Performance Peer Group, especially through business down cycles, so we remain strongly positioned when the markets rebound.
QIs it appropriate that the PUP has paid out at maximum?
AOur incentive plans work together to help ensure that our executives’ target incentive opportunities are reasonable across economic cycles and that the actual incentive pay-outs deliver appropriate levels of value based on a mix of absolute and relative performance results. That’s why when the Board assesses pay, we reflect on the sum of annual and long-term incentives.
Our PUP plan is designed to ensure long-term superior relative ROCE versus a specific energy peer group and the Board expects senior management to maintain those strong relative returns. Recently, our relative ROCE has consistently been in the top quartile of our Performance Peer Group, resulting in strong pay-outs in those PUP cycles. But our Annual Performance Plan is affected by difficult-to-predict market price and demand variations, which can lead to less consistent award pay-outs. Taken together, the sum of pay-outs to management from the incentive plans has provided competitive pay.
QWhy is Mr. Miller’s 2020 and 2021 reported pay so much higher than his 2019 reported pay?
AThis question has provoked more confusion than we thought it would. I am sorry about that. I assure you the Board’s intentions are in alignment with shareholder feedback and the strong support we received for the new design of our program. The confusion comes in two parts:
First, Jeff Miller’s pay increased from 2019 due to his promotion to CEO.
Second, in 2020, the Board decided (supported by shareholder feedback) to restructure the PUP to significantly reduce the cash part of any award. The new plan pays awards, if any, using a mix of stock (50%) and cash (50%). The prior plan paid entirely in cash.
This change, which shareholders overwhelmingly supported, created a reporting challenge. Specifically, the proxy statement rules require cash awards to be booked on receipt, while stock awards are booked on grant date. In simple terms, the proxy statement rules require two cycles of PUP compensation to be reported in one year. Starting on page 36 of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we present more information about this issue with illustrations of the transition.
The transition ends with this 2022 proxy statement and will not reappear in the 2023 proxy statement.
QWhat was your approach to setting performance targets for the 2021 Annual Performance Pay Plan?
AGiven the continuing business challenges driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board decided at the outset of 2021 that it would replace the traditional 12-month performance period with two six-month performance periods: January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021 (1st performance period); and July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021 (2nd performance period). Given the economic uncertainty, this half-year plan approach provided the Board the agility mid-year to ensure that the performance goals for the 2nd performance period were appropriately rigorous. Specifically, the Board set the 2nd half performance goals higher than both the maximum performance goals and actual results for the 1st performance period. The approach worked because during these uncertain times had the Board set a 12-month performance goal, it would have been lower than what we set for each of the two six-month periods, which were higher goals.
QHow does ESG influence executive compensation decisions?
AThe Board expects our senior executives to lead by example and drive results on both our principal financial and strategic objectives. Effective January 1, 2022, the Annual Performance Pay Plan includes ESG-related metrics focused on sustainability and DE&I, two of our main strategic priorities. ESG-related metrics will comprise 20% of the total award (weighted equally), while 80% of the total award will continue to focus on the achievement of NOPAT and Asset Turns performance goals. As part of adding ESG-related metrics, we also listened to shareholder feedback and set objective metrics that are clearly measurable and directly linked to our overall strategy.

2021 CEO Compensation Overview

Target vs. Realized Pay

The Compensation Committee looks at CEO compensation through various lenses to ensure that it is setting appropriate and competitive total target compensation opportunities and approving actual compensation outcomes that are aligned with actual performance results and shareholder expectations. This type of analysis is important to study, especially when plan designs are transitioning from one approach to a new approach — like shifting from all cash awards to a mix of cash and equity.

Total target compensation is structured to target market competitive pay levels in base salary and short- and long-term incentive opportunities. An emphasis is placed on variable pay at risk, which enables the compensation structure to position actual pay above or below the 50th percentile of our Comparator Peer Group depending on performance. Total target compensation opportunities are set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each performance period and are intended to be forward looking. Since 2018, Mr. Miller’s first full year as CEO, his target compensation has increased commensurate with the market and is appropriately aligned with his role and responsibilities as CEO, as well as his individual performance.

Realized pay represents the amount of compensation actually paid during the year, as opposed to amounts that may or may not be paid in the future. Realized pay incorporates the amounts actually received during the year upon the vesting of restricted stock and the exercise of stock options. Evaluating realized pay provides the Compensation Committee with an additional measure to assess the robustness of our pay for performance. Realized pay demonstrates the positive correlation between high cash and equity payouts in years of strong performance and low cash and equity payouts in years of weak performance. In the illustration below, total realized pay consisted of the following:

base salary paid;
cash incentive payouts under the Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Plan;
value realized upon exercise of stock options;
value of restricted stock vested during the year; and
incentive payouts under the Performance Unit Program.

From 2019 to 2021, Mr. Miller’s realized pay was consistently lower than total target compensation, demonstrating the “at-risk” nature of a substantial portion of his compensation and our program’s pay-for-performance design. Our compensation programs are designed to closely align our executives’ interests to those of our shareholders and to the long-term performance of the Company. A significant portion of executive pay is delivered in the form of long-term incentives with strong alignment to the stock price returns our shareholders’ experience. As shown in the below chart, our CEO’s average three-year realized pay has declined by a greater extent than the Company’s TSR, demonstrating this alignment and the Compensation Committee’s commitment to pay-for-performance.

Results of 2018 Advisory Vote on ExecutiveA Closer Look at the Summary Compensation Table

 

InTo understand the increase in CEO Summary Compensation Table compensation for 2021, there were two key factors to consider:

Mr. Miller’s promotion to CEO, which increased his target market competitive pay levels, primarily impacting the amount earned under the Performance Unit Program (PUP) in 2020 and 2021 as compared to 2019; and
Based on shareholder feedback, we fundamentally changed the structure of our long-term incentives. As a result, we are required to report two cycles of the performance awards for 2020 and 2021 in the 2021 and 2022 proxy statements, respectively. Because we are required to show for each year the cash awards actually earned and the performance-based equity awards granted, though not yet earned, the total compensation presented in our Summary Compensation Table appears “inflated” or “double counted” for 2020 and 2021 – when cash awards under our old performance structure were earned and equity awards under our revised structure were granted even though the equity cannot be earned until future years, if at all. Had we maintained our old performance award structure and the PUP continued to be awarded 100% in cash, the awards would be reflected in the Summary Compensation Table only at the time they are earned and this issue would not occur.

As an example, in the 2021 proxy statement the Summary Compensation Table included both the cash earned in 2020 for the 2018 our compensation program receivedPUP cycle and target level equity granted for the support of 43%2020 PUP cycle, resulting in an additional $5M reported in the Stock Awards column of the total votes cast at our Annual Meeting.

2021 Performance Overview

Business Highlights

Our employees delivered solid execution across every part of our CEO succession plan. Based on this feedback,business in 2021 – safety, service quality, and financial results. Despite the Committee determined that there will be no more special one-time stock grantschallenges of working during a pandemic and global energy demand complexity, they again outperformed and delivered what the world needs – affordable and reliable energy provided by oil and gas – in a safe, efficient, and ethical manner – while minimizing our environmental impact. Here are the highlights for internal promotions. This change and others we have implemented to our compensation program are described in Board Responsiveness to Shareholder Feedback on page 25.2021:

 

Financial:Internationally we delivered profitable growth with revenue and operating income increasing every quarter in 2021. In North America, strong operating leverage allowed us to maximize the value of our business as U.S. land activity rebounded. Overall, our Completion and Production and Drilling and Evaluation operating segments finished the year with 15% and 12% operating margins, respectively, and generated strong cash flows from operations.
Digital:Our accelerated deployment and integration of digitally enabled technologies created technical differentiation in the market and contributed to our higher margins.
Capital efficiency:We advanced technologies and made strategic choices that kept our capital expenditures to 5.2% of revenue, which is in the range of our 5-6% of revenue target.
Sustainable energy:We announced our science-based emission reduction targets, added eleven new participating companies to Halliburton Labs, our clean energy accelerator, and were named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America for Energy Equipment and Services, which highlights the top 10% most sustainable North America companies in identified industries as determined by S&P Global through their Corporate Sustainability Assessment.

Geographic Revenue Diversity

In 2021, Halliburton earned the majority of our revenue internationally. We reset our earnings power and improved margins in several key end markets.


Cash Flow Execution

During 2021, we generated $1.9 billion of operating cash flow and had $799 million of capital expenditures and $257 million of proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment, resulting in over $1.3 billion of free cash flow. This demonstrates our ability to generate strong free cash flow in different business environments. We additionally returned $161 million to shareholders through dividends and repaid $700 million of debt.

*Management believes that free cash flow, defined as “operating cash flow” less “capital expenditures” plus “proceeds from sale of property, plant, and equipment” is an important liquidity measure that is useful to investors and management for assessing the business’s ability to generate cash.

CEO Pay: Reported vs. Realized

In reviewing executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the difference between total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“reported pay”) and realized pay. Since Mr. Miller was appointed CEO in 2017, his realized pay was consistently lower than reported pay, demonstrating the “at-risk” nature of his compensation and our compensation program’s pay-for-performance design. In the illustration below, total realized compensation consisted of the following:

base salary paid;
cash incentive payouts under the Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Plan;
the value realized upon exercise of stock options;
value of restricted stock vested during the year; and
performance-based award paid for the year.

Setting Executive Compensation

 

Role of the Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee oversees the executive compensation program and has overall responsibility for making final decisions about total compensation for all of the NEOs, except for the CEO, which is set by the entire Board of Directors. As part of its annual process, the Compensation Committee works closely with senior management (as appropriate) and itsthe Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. This process ensures consistency from year to year and adherence to the responsibilities listed in the Committee’s Charter, which is available on our website.

 

Role of the CEO

The CEO does not provide recommendations concerning his own compensation, nor is he present when his compensation is discussed by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, with input from its independent compensation consultant, discusses the elements of his compensation in executive session and makes a recommendation to all of the non-management Directors for discussion and final approval. At the Compensation Committee’s request, a member of our management team may attendattends the executive session to answer questions from the Committee.questions.

 

The CEO, with input from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, assists the Compensation Committee in setting compensation for the other NEOs.

 

The following recommendations are made to the Committee for each NEO:

Base salary adjustments, taking into account comparator peer group data, and the NEO’s individual performance and role within the Company.
Performance goals, metrics, and reward schedules for incentive opportunities under our Annual Performance Pay Plan and Performance Unit Program, with performance targets being set relative to the projected business cycle and business plan.
Restricted stock and stock option awards made under the Stock and Incentive Plan, including developing and providing specific recommendations to the Committee on the aggregate number and types of shares to be awarded annually, reviewing the rationale and guidelines for annual stock awards, and recommending changes to the grant types, when appropriate.
Retirement awards, which are calculated by an external actuary, under the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP.

Use of Independent Consultants and Advisors

 

The Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer as its independent compensation consultant during 2018.2021. Pearl Meyer does not provide any other services to us. The primary responsibilities of the independent compensation consultant wereare to:

 

Provide independent and objective market data;

Role of Benchmarking,Comparator and Performance Peer Companies and Market Data

 

The Compensation Committee uses various market data to examine and set target compensation opportunities for the NEOs, as well as determine actual award payouts, to ensure that it provides competitive compensation opportunities and approves actual compensation outcomes that are aligned with shareholder expectations. The following provides context for the different peer groups used to support the Compensation Committee’s process:

Comparator Peer Group — used to determine market levels of total compensation for the 2021 plan year.
Performance Peer Group — used to assess relative ROCE performance over a three-year performance period for determining Performance Unit Program (PUP) payouts.
Oilfield Services Index (OSX) — used to assess relative TSR performance and adds a long-term performance component to the PUP directly linked to stock price (modifier imposes an award penalty for bottom quartile performance and provides an incentive for top quartile performance).

2021 Comparator Peer Group

The Compensation Committee regularly assesses the market competitiveness of the Company’s executive compensation program based on data from a comparator peer group. The companies comprising the comparator peer groupComparator Peer Group are selected based on the following considerations:

 

Market capitalization;
Revenue and number of employees;
Global impact and reach; and
Industry affiliation.

 

Industry affiliation includes companies that are involved in the oil and natural gas and energy services industries. The comparator peer group is reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure relevance, withWith data provided to the Committee by the independent compensation consultant.consultant, the Compensation Committee reviews the Comparator Peer Group annually to ensure relevance.

 

Given the market uncertainty and business disruptions during 2020, the Compensation Committee determined, with input from its independent compensation consultant, that annual benchmarking data would be insufficient for annual compensation decisions. The 2018 comparator peer group was composedCompensation Committee used data from the 2020 Comparator Peer Group of the following peer companies within the energy industry as well asand selected companies representing general industry. This peer group was utilizedindustry to determine market levels of total compensation for the 2018 calendar year and was unchanged from 2017:2021 plan year:

Because of variances in market capitalization and revenue size among the companies comprising our comparator peer group,Comparator Peer Group, the market data is size adjusted by revenue as necessary so that it is comparable with our trailing 12 months revenue. These adjusted values are used to compare our executives’ compensation to those of the comparator peer group.Comparator Peer Group.

 

Total compensation for each NEO is structured to target market competitive pay levels in base salary and short- and long-term incentive opportunities. We also place an emphasis on variable pay at risk, which enables this compensation structure to position actual pay above or below the 50thpercentile of our comparator peer groupComparator Peer Group depending on performance.

 

A consistent pre-tax, present value methodology is used in assessing stock-based and other long-term incentive awards, including the Black-Scholes model used to value stock option grants.awards.

Pay for Performance Analysis

As part of its analysis, the Committee reviews one-, three-, and five-year pay for performance against our performance peer group as identified in the section entitled “Long-term Incentives”. The review examines the degree of alignment between our ROCE performance compared to the ROCE performance of our performance peer group and our CEO’s realizable compensation relative to the realizable compensation of the CEOs in our comparator peer group.

Total realizable compensation consisted of the following:

base salary paid;
cash incentive payouts;
in-the-money value of stock options grants during the one-, three-, or five-year period valued as of December 31, 2017;
face value of restricted stock grants during the one-, three-, or five-year period valued as of December 31, 2017; and
for performance-based awards, (i) target value for awards still outstanding as of December 31, 2017, and (ii) realized value for performance periods beginning and ending within the one-, three-, or five-year period. 

This analysis supported the Committee’s determination that our pay and performance are appropriately aligned.

Determination of CEO and NEO Target Total Compensation

 

When determining target total compensation for the CEO, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration competitive market pay levels for the CEOs in the comparator peer group.Comparator Peer Group. The Compensation Committee also considers the CEO’s performance and accomplishments in the areas of business development and expansion, management succession, development and retention of management, ethical leadership, and the achievement of financial and operational objectives.

Other NEO compensation is determined similar to that of the CEOsimilarly by evaluating each NEO’s performance and considering the market competitive pay levels of the comparator peer groupComparator Peer Group for the NEO’s position. The Compensation Committee also considers the importance of keeping our management team focused and stable, especially given that other oilfield services companies have aggressively recruited our NEOs and other executives in the past. In fact, over thirty of our former executives have departed to become CEOs and/or senior executives of other oilfield services companies.

2021 Performance Peer Group

For determining PUP award payouts, the Compensation Committee measures ROCE on a relative basis over three years to the results of a performance peer group it selects. The Performance Peer Group used for the PUP is comprised of oilfield equipment and services companies and domestic and international exploration and production companies. This peer group is used for the PUP because these companies represent the timing, cyclicality, and volatility of the oil and natural gas industry and provide an appropriate industry group for measuring our relative performance.

For the 2021 cycle, the Compensation Committee set the performance measures on a 100% relative ROCE basis with relative performance to be measured as of the three-year period ending December 31, 2023.

The Performance Peer Group used for the 2021 PUP consists of the following companies:

In addition to relative ROCE, the PUP also uses a relative TSR modifier that compares three-year performance against the OSX and can increase or decrease the incentive opportunity payout by 25%. The OSX is comprised of companies that are engaged in the same industry as we are. These are also the same companies with whom we compete for investors’ dollars.

2021 Executive Compensation Outcomes

in Detail

 

Base Salary

 

The Compensation Committee generally targets base salaries at the median of the comparator peer group.Comparator Peer Group. The Compensation Committee also considers the following factors when setting base salary:

 

Level of responsibility;
Experience in current role and equitable compensation relationships among internal peers;
Performance and leadership; and
External factors involving competitive positioning, general economic conditions, and marketplace compensation trends.

 

No specific formula is applied to determine the weight of each factor.

 

Salary reviews are conducted annually to evaluate each executive. Individual salaries are not necessarily adjusted each year.

 

TheIn response to the substantial decline in global demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of the pandemic on the broader economic environment and our business, Mr. Miller and the other NEOs voluntarily reduced their base salaries by 20% and 10%, respectively, effective May 1, 2020.

It is administered in accordance with the terms of the Stock and Incentive Plan.

 

TheImpact of the Macroeconomic Environment and COVID-19 on Our Approach to Annual Performance Pay Plan provides an incentive to our NEOs to generate more earnings than normally expectedIncentives

Given the market uncertainty and continuing business challenges driven by the shareholders whoCOVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee decided at the onset of 2021 that it would replace its traditional 12-month performance period with two, six-month performance periods that would run from January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2021 (1st performance period), and July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021 (2nd performance period). Given the economic uncertainty, this split plan-year approach provided the Committee the agility mid-year to ensure that the performance goals for the 2nd performance period were appropriately rigorous. This resulted in more challenging performance goals for the 2nd half of the year than for the 1st half of the year. Specifically, the threshold performance goals for the 2nd performance period the Committee set were higher than both the maximum performance goals and actual results for the 1st performance period. The aggregate performance goals would have provided us with capitalbeen lower if established for a 12-month performance period.

2021 Target Award Opportunities

Individual incentive award opportunities are established as a percentage of base salary at the beginning of the plan year based on market competitive targets. The maximum award a NEO can receive is limited to grow our business. We measuretwo times the target opportunity level. The level of achievement of this objective using Cash Value Added, or CVA. CVA is a financial measurement that balances two metrics to measureannual performance determines the dollar amount of economic value addedincentive compensation payable to our business.participants following completion of the plan year. The Compensation Committee set incentive award opportunities under the plan for 2021 as follows:

 

The Committee selected CVA as the financial measure upon which to base our Annual Performance Pay Plan because it is a key measure on which we set our performance expectations for the year and we believe it is a proven driver of value creation for our shareholders. The Committee also considers other business performance factors that are important to our shareholders, including health, safety, environment, and service quality, in determining the final payout amounts under the Annual Performance Pay Plan.

2021 Financial Performance Metrics and Results

For 2021, as discussed above, performance under the Annual Performance Pay Plan was based on the achievement of pre-established performance metrics: Net Operating Profit After-Taxes (NOPAT) and Asset Turns. The Compensation Committee selected these metrics because they are key financial measures upon which we set our performance expectations for the year and place an increased emphasis on free cash flow and capital discipline.

(1)Average Net Assets excludes cash and marketable investments, and current and non-current deferred income tax assets.
(2)Average Net Liabilities excludes current and long-term debt, which includes finance lease liabilities, and non-current deferred income tax liability.

Adjustments in the calculation of NOPAT and Asset Turns may, at times, be approved by the Compensation Committee and can include the treatment of unusual items that may have impacted our actual results.

At the beginning of each plan year, the Compensation Committee approves an incentive award schedule that equates levels of CVA performance with cash reward opportunities. The performance goals range from “Threshold” to “Target” to “Maximum”. Threshold reflects the minimum CVA performance level which must be achieved in order for anyan award to be earned and Maximum reflects the maximum awards that can be earned.

 

TheTraditionally, the performance goals are based on our annual operating plan, as reviewed and approved by our Board, and are set at levels to meet or exceed shareholder expectations of our performance, as well as expectations of the relative performance to our competitors. Given the cyclical nature of our business, our performance goals vary from year to year, which can similarly impact the difficulty in achieving the goals. The Compensation Committee may also consider other business performance factors that are important to our investors, including health, safety, environment, and service quality, in determining the final payout amounts under the Annual Performance Pay Plan.

 

CVA is computed monthly and aggregated throughoutFor both performance periods, the calendar year. Adjustments in the calculation of CVA may, at times, be approved by theCompensation Committee and can include the treatment of unusual items that may have impacted our actual results.

With the exception of Mr. Loeffler, who was not an executive officer at the time, the Committee set the 2018 performance goals for our NEOs based on company-wideCompany-wide consolidated CVANOPAT results. Threshold CVANOPAT was based on 90% of planned Operating Income, Target CVANOPAT on 100% of planned Operating Income, and Maximum CVANOPAT on 110% of planned Operating Income.

OverCompensation Committee’s commitment to setting robust targets, over the past ten years, the Annual Performance Pay Plan achieved Maximum performance levels fivefour times, and Target performance levels two times, and fell short of the Threshold performance level threefour times, resulting in no payout.

 

Long-Term Incentives

 

The Stock and Incentive Plan is designed to reward consistent achievement of value creation and operating performance goals, align management with shareholder interests, and encourage long-term perspective and commitment. Long-term incentives represent the largest component of total executive compensation opportunity.

 

Our Stock and Incentive Plan provides for a variety of cash and stock-based awards, including restricted stock and units, nonqualified and incentive stock options, performance shares and units, stock appreciation rights, and stock value equivalents. Under the Stock and Incentive Plan, the Committee may, at its discretion, select from among these types of awards to establish individual long-term incentive awards.

Using a mix of incentive vehicles allows us to provide a diversified yet balanced long-term incentive program that effectively addresses volatility in our industry and in the stock market, in addition to maintaining an incentive to meet performance goals. For 2018, wethe 2021 plan year, the Compensation Committee used the following combination of equity vehicles for long-term incentive vehicles:grants:

However, different vesting schedules may be utilized at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Shares of restricted stock price appreciation; three-year vesting periodreceive dividend or dividend equivalent payments.

Individual Incentive Opportunities

 

In determining the size of long-term incentive awards, the Compensation Committee first considers market data for comparable positions and then may adjust the awards upwards or downwards based on the Compensation Committee’s review of internal equity. This can result in positions of similar magnitude and pay receiving awards of varying size. The December 5, 2018, restricted stock and stock option grants awarded by the Committee to each NEO were based primarily on market data and wereAwards are targeted to the market median.

 

Our internalAs part of its process, the Compensation Committee makes decisions about target long-term incentive award opportunities for the following year during its regular December meeting. For the 2021 plan year, the Compensation Committee approved restricted stock nomination processgrants in December 2020.

2016 CycleA Closer Look at the Performance Unit Program

 

The 2016 cycle Performance Unit ProgramPUP provides NEOs and other selected executives with incentive opportunities based on our consolidated ROCE during a three-year performance period. This program reinforces our objectives for sustained long-term performance and value creation. It also reinforces strategic planning processes and balances short- and long-term decision making.

 

Based on feedback from our shareholders and to more closely align with our strategy of delivering industry-leading returns across the business cycle, in 2015, we modified the metrics in our Performance Unit Program to 100% relative ROCE. The program measures ROCE on a relative basis to the results of oura performance peer group over three years. The Performance Peer Group used for the Performance Unit Program. The three-year performance period aligns this measurement with our and our performance peer group’s business cycles.

ROCE indicates the efficiency and profitability of our capital investments and is determined based on the ratio of earnings divided by average capital employed.

The calculation is as follows:

The performance peer group used for the Performance Unit ProgramPUP is comprised of oilfield equipment and services companies and domestic and international exploration and production companies. This peer group is used for the Performance Unit ProgramPUP because these companies represent the timing, cyclicality, and volatility of the oil and natural gas industry and provide an appropriate industry group for measuring our relative performance. The peer group, disclosed2021 Performance Peer Group is listed on page 44 of this CD&A.

HALLIBURTON  |  2022Proxy Statement47

The three-year performance period aligns this measurement with our and our Performance Peer Group’s business cycles. ROCE indicates the efficiency and profitability of our capital investments and is determined based on the ratio of earnings divided by average capital employed. The calculation is as follows:

Why ROCE?

Highly correlated to stock price performance over the long-term, applying drivers that management can directly influence.Overwhelmingly supported by our shareholders.
Aligned with our strategy of delivering industry-leading returns across the business cycle.Eliminates the subjectivity inherent in setting long-term absolute targets in a cyclical industry.
Reinforces the Company’s objective for sustained long-term performance and value creation.Provides our management team with clear line of sight to long-term financial results.

Consistent with our executive compensation objectives and strategy to deliver leading returns in our 2017 proxy statement, was used forindustry, over the 2016 cyclepast 10 years we delivered superior ROCE performance relative to the Oilfield Services Index (OSX), our two largest competitors, and our Performance Peer Group. We believe that this long-term focus on generating superior returns within our industry also correlates with our industry TSR outperformance over the same period of time.

2021 Cycle PUP

2021 Cycle – Performance Matrix

At the end of the three-year award cycle, the average ROCE of Halliburton and the Performance Unit Program.Peer Group will be calculated, and performance percentiles will be determined. If Halliburton’s relative performance ranking is between the 25th and 75th percentiles, the payout will be interpolated accordingly. If Halliburton’s relative performance ranking is below the 25th percentile, there will not be a payout.

The PUP also uses a relative TSR modifier that compares three-year performance against the OSX and can increase or decrease the incentive opportunity payout by 25%. The modifier imposes an award penalty for bottom quartile performance and an incentive for top quartile performance as follows:

Restricted stock grants are generally subject to a graded vesting schedule of 20% per year over five years. However, different vesting schedules may be utilized at the discretion of the Committee. Shares of restricted stock receive dividend or dividend equivalent payments.

Stock option awards vest over a three-year graded vesting period with 331/3% of the grant vesting each year. All options are priced at the closing stock price on the date the grant is approved by the Committee.

The stock and option award columns in the Summary Compensation Table reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the restricted stock and option awards for each NEO granted during 2018.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

The objective of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP, is to provide a competitive level of pay replacement upon retirement. The current pay replacement target is 75% of base salary at age 65 with 25 years of service, using the highest annual salary during the last three years of employment.

 

The material factors and guidelines considered in making an allocation includeinclude: (i) retirement benefits provided, both qualified and nonqualified; (ii) current compensation; (iii) length of service; and (iv) years of service to normal retirement.

 

The calculation takes into account the following variables: (i) base salary; (ii) years of service; (iii) age; (iv) employer portion of qualified plan savings; (v) age 65 value of any defined benefit plan; and (vi) existing nonqualified plan balances and any other retirement plans.

 

Several assumptions are made annually and include a base salary increase percentage, qualified and nonqualified plan contributions and investment earnings, and an annuity rate. These factors are reviewed and approved annually by the Compensation Committee in advance of calculating any awards.

 

www.halliburton.comHALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy Statement38

To determine the annual benefit, external actuaries calculate the total lump sum retirement benefit needed at age 65 from all company retirement sources to produce an annual retirement benefit of 75% of the highest annual salary during the last three years of employment. Company retirement sources include any Company contributions to qualified benefit plans and contributions to nonqualified benefit plans. If the combination of these two sources does not yield a total retirement balance that will meet the 75% objective, then contributions may be made annually through the SERP to bring the total benefit up to the targeted level.

 

To illustrate, assume $10 million is needed at age 65 to produce an annual retirement benefit equal to 75% of base salary. The participant is projected to have $3 million in histhe qualified benefit plans resulting from Company contributions at retirement and $4 million in histhe nonqualified retirement plans resulting from Company contributions at retirement. Since the total of these two sources is $7 million, a shortfall of $3 million results. This is the amount needed to achieve the 75% pay replacement objective. This shortfall may be offset through annual contributions to the SERP.

 

Participation in the SERP is limited to the direct reports of the CEO and other selected executives as recommended by the CEO and approved at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. However, participation one year does not guarantee future participation. In 2018,2021, the Compensation Committee authorized retirement allocations under the SERP to all NEOs as listed in the Supplemental Table: All Other Compensation and the 20182021 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.Compensation table.

 

All of the NEOs, except Messrs.Mr. Loeffler, and Weber, are fully vested in their respective account balances. Mr. Weber’s SERP account was forfeited upon his resignation. Balances for active and terminated participants earn interest at an annual rate of 5% and 10%, respectively.

Elective Deferral Plan

 

All NEOs may participate in the Halliburton Elective Deferral Plan, which was established to provide highly compensated employees with an opportunity to defer earned base salary and incentive compensation in order to help meet retirement and other future income needs.

 

Participants may elect to defer up to 75% of their annual base salary and up to 75% of their incentive compensation into the plan. Deferral elections must be made on an annual basis, including the type and timing of distribution. Plan earnings are based on the NEO’s choice of up to 12 investment options with varying degrees of risk, including the risk of loss. Investment options may be changed by the NEO daily.

 

In 2018,2021, none of our NEOs participated in this plan. Messrs. Brown, Rainey and LesarRichard have account balances from participation in the plan in prior years. Messrs. Miller, Loeffler, and WeberCarre are not participants in the plan. Further details can be found in the 20182021 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.

 

Benefit Restoration Plan

 

The Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan provides a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits which are reduced as a result of limitations on contributions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) or due to participation in other plans we sponsor and to defer compensation that would otherwise be treated as excessive remuneration within the meaning of IRC Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.. Awards are made annually to those who meet these criteria and earnedearn interest at an annual rate as defined by the plan document. Awards and corresponding interest balances are 100% vested and distributed upon separation.

 

In accordance with the plan document, participants earn monthly interest at the 120% AFR rate, provided the interest rate shall be no less than 6% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Because the 120% AFR rate was below the 6% minimum interest threshold, plan participants earned interest at an annual rate of 6% in 2018.2021.

 

In 2018,2021, all NEOs except Mr. Weber received awards under this plan in the amounts included in the Supplemental Table: All Other Compensation and the 20182021 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.

Perquisites

 

Effective January 1, 2019, we eliminated a number of ourseveral perquisites including tax gross ups for personal use of corporate aircraft, executive physical examinations, and financial planning reimbursements. We also eliminated reimbursements for country club dues with the exception of a prior commitment to Mr. Brown which expires upon his retirement in 2019.

A taxable benefit for executive financial planning was provided in 2018 with the amount dependent on the NEO’s level within the company. This benefit does not include tax return preparation. It is paid, only if used, on a reimbursable basis. This benefit was discontinued in 2019.all our NEOs.

Miller and Lesaris available for Mr. Miller’s limited use as needed for security purposes and so that theyhe can work while in transit to meet customer and our needs.customers or attend business-related functions.

 

We provided security at the personal residences of Messrs.Mr. Miller Lesar, and Weber during 2018.2021.

 

As a result of the recommendations provided by an independent, third-party security consultant, the Board has determined that Messrs.Mr. Miller and Lesar (before his retirement) must use company aircraft for all travel. The security study also recommends that their spouseshis spouse and children use company-provided aircraft. The only personal use of the company aircraft in 2018 for other NEOs is for spousal and dependent travel on select business trips.

 

Mr. Rainey is an expatriate under our long-term expatriate business practice. A differential is commonly paid to expatriates in assignment locations where the cost of goods and services is greater than the cost for the same goods and services in the expatriate’s home country. Differentials are determined by Mercer/ORC,AIRINC, a third-party consultant. Mr. Rainey receives certain assignment allowances, including a goods and services differential and host country housing and utilities. He also participates in our tax equalization program, which neutralizes the tax effect of the international assignment and approximates the tax obligation the expatriate would pay in his home country. Mr. Rainey’s expatriate benefits package is commensurate with benefits offered to all other Halliburton expatriates.

 

Specific amounts for the above-mentioned perquisites are detailed for each NEO in the Supplemental Table: All Other Compensation.

Impact of Regulatory Requirements on Compensation

 

IRC Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation paid to the CEO, CFO, or any of the three other most highly compensated officers to the extent the compensation exceeds $1 million in any year. Effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, Section 162(m) has been revised to eliminate the performance-based compensation exception.

Note:Some shareholders asked that we show the impact of the change in our performance award structure on the 2021 total compensation reflected above for Mr. Miller. The total compensation amount includes, in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column above, $9,631,664, which is a cash award from the 2019 PUP cycle earned in 2021. It also includes in the Stock Awards column $6,300,070 for a performance shares award granted in 2021 (even though the performance shares award has not yet been earned and if earned, will not be determined until the cycle concludes at the end of 2023). If the performance shares award had been made as a cash award under our old performance award structure, the $6,300,070 would not appear in the 2021 compensation table.

Salary.The amounts in the Salary column reflect the salary earned by each NEO.

 

Stock Awards.The amounts in the Stock Awards column reflect the grant date fair value of the restricted stockperformance shares awarded in 2018. Except where there is2021. The amount reflects an accounting expense and does not correspond to actual value that may be realized by a distinction to make between the two types of awards, this proxy statement refers to both restricted stock and restricted stock units as “restricted stock”. We calculate the fair value of restricted stock awards by multiplying the number of restricted shares or units granted by the closing stock price on the grant date.

Option Awards.The amountsNEO in the Option Awards column reflect thefuture. We use a Monte Carlo simulation that uses a probabilistic approach and was performed by an actuary to determine grant date fair value. The NEOs may never realize any value of the stock options awarded in 2018. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For a discussion of the assumptions made infrom these valuations, refer to Note 11performance shares and, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Stock-based Compensation, inextent that they do, the Halliburton Company Form 10-K foramounts realized may have no correlation to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.amounts reported above.

Change in Pension Value and NQDC Earnings.The amounts in the Change in Pension Value and NQDC Earnings column are attributable to the above-market earnings for various nonqualified plans. The methodology for determining what constitutes above-market earnings is the difference between the interest rate as stated in the applicable nonqualified plan document and the Internal Revenue Service Long-Term 120% AFR rate as of December 31, 2018.2021. The 120% AFR rate used for determining above-market earnings in 20182021 was 3.98%2.28%.

 

Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Above-Market EarningsEarnings. . The current interest rate for active participant accounts in the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is 5% as defined by the plan document. The above-market earnings for active participants equaled 1.02%2.72% (5% (plan interest) minus 3.98%2.28%) for 2018.2021.

Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan Above-Market EarningsEarnings. . In accordance with the plan document, participants earn monthly interest at the 120% AFR rate, provided the interest rate shall be no less than 6% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Because the 120% AFR rate was below the 6% minimum interest threshold, the above-market earnings associated with this plan were 2.02%3.72% (6% (plan interest) minus 3.98%2.28%) for 2018.2021.

 

NEOs earned above-market earnings for their balances associated with the plan as follows: $7,513$25,197 for Mr. Miller; $269$2,691 for Mr. Loeffler; $11,157$11,561 for Mr. Brown; $8,045Carre; $22,360 for Mr. Rainey; $80,670and $7,610 for Mr. Lesar; and $99 for Mr. Weber.Richard.

Shares vested on various dates throughout the year. The value listed represents the aggregate value of all shares that vested for each NEO in 2018.2021.

Employment Contracts and Change-in-Control Arrangements

 

Employment Contracts

 

All of our NEOs have employment agreements with us that contain substantial non-compete and non-solicitation provisions post separation.

 

The employment agreements for Messrs. Miller, Loeffler, and Rainey provide that if the agreement is terminated by the employee for good reason or by death, disability, or retirement or his employment is terminated by the companyCompany for any reason other than cause or a fiduciary violation, all restrictions on restricted stock and units will lapse. In addition, in the case of a termination by the employee for good reason or termination by the companyCompany for any reason other than cause or a fiduciary violation, the employee will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to two years of his base salary then in effect.

 

Mr. Brown’s employment agreement provides that if the agreement is terminated by Mr. Brown for good reason or by death, disability, retirement, or early retirement or his employment is terminated by us for any reason other than cause or a fiduciary violation, all restrictions on restricted stock and units, other than a restricted stock unit grant valued at $5 million (the Brown equity grant), will lapse. In addition, provided that Mr. Brown remains employed by us through December 31, 2019, or his employment is earlier terminated for any of the above reasons other than early retirement, he will receive one-half of the value of the Brown equity grant in the form of Halliburton common stock. The remaining one-half of that equity grant will be valued on the termination date and paid in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of his termination, provided that he remains in compliance with his continuing obligations under the employment agreement, which include three-year non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. In addition, in the case of a termination by Mr. Brown for good reason or termination by the company for any reason other than cause or a fiduciary violation, Mr. Brown will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to two years of his base salary then in effect.

Mr. Lesar retired as Executive Chairman on December 31, 2018. In accordance with his employment agreement, his participation continues for the 2017 and 2018 cycles of the Performance Unit Program, all restrictions on his restricted stock lapsed, he received a lump sum cash payment of $2 million, and one-half of the restricted stock unit for 326,229 shares (the Lesar equity grant) was distributed in the form of Halliburton common stock. The remaining one-half of the Lesar equity grant was valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE of $26.58 on December 31, 2018, and will be paid in four equal annual installments beginning on December 31, 2019, provided that he remains in compliance with his continuing obligations under the employment agreement, which include four-year non-compete and non-solicitation provisions. The employment agreement also provides that we will reimburse Mr. Lesar for reasonable office space rental, secretarial support, and security for a period of five (5) years from the date of his retirement, for which we estimate the annual cost to be approximately $251,475.

Mr. Weber resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective November 9, 2018. In accordance with the Separation Agreement we entered into with Mr. Weber, he received a severance payment of $1.4 million, a pro rated payment of incentive compensation earned under the Company’s Annual Performance Pay Plan for 2018, and all restrictions on his restricted stock lapsed. The Separation Agreement restricts Mr. Weber from competing with us or soliciting our personnel for a period of two years.

Change-In-ControlChange-in-Control Arrangements

 

We do not maintain individual change-in-control agreements or provide for excise tax gross-ups on any payments associated with a change-in-control. Some of our compensation plans, however, contain change-in-control provisions, which could result in payment of specific benefits.

 

Under the Stock and Incentive Plan, in the event of a change-in-control, awards granted after February 13, 2019, are subject to double-trigger vesting, such that, if a participant is terminated due to involuntary termination without cause, death, disability, good reason (as defined in an employment agreement, or a similar constructive termination event, in each case, only if a severance benefit is payable upon termination of employment due to such event pursuant to an employment agreement), or other event as specified in the participant’s award document within the period beginning on the date of the public announcement of a transaction that, if consummated, would constitute a corporate change and ending on the date that is the earlier of the announcement of the termination of the proposed transaction or two years after the consummation of the transaction (a Qualifying Termination), the following will occur automatically:

 

any outstanding options and stock appreciation rights shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable;exercisable for the full term thereof;
any restrictions on restricted stock awards shall immediately lapse;
all performance measures upon which an outstanding performance award is contingent are deemed achieved and the holder receivesshall receive a payment equal to the maximumtarget amount of the award he or she would have been entitled to receive, prorated through the date of the change-in-control;receive; and
any outstanding cash awards, including stock value equivalent awards, immediately vest and are paid based on the vested value of the award.

 

Under the Annual Performance Pay Plan:

 

in the event of a change-in-control during a plan year, a participant experiencing a Qualifying Termination will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the maximum dollartarget amount of the award he or she would have been entitled to for the year, prorated through the date of the change-in-control;receive, without proration; and
in the event of a change-in-control after the end of a plan year but before the payment date, a participant will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the incentive earned for the plan year.

 

Under the Performance Unit Program:

 

in the event of a change-in-control during a performance cycle, a participant experiencing a Qualifying Termination will be entitled to both a payment equal to the target amount of the cash award he or she would have been entitled to receive and the vesting of the target amount of performance shares awarded, without proration; and

www.halliburton.comin the event of a change-in-control during a performance cycle, a participant will be entitledHALLIBURTON  |  2022Proxy Statement60
in the event of a change-in-control after the end of a performance cycle but before the payment and vesting date, a participant will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the incentivecash award earned and the vesting of performance shares earned for that performance cycle.

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in the event of a change-in-control, unless the successor corporation assumes or substitutes new stock purchase rights:

the purchase date for the outstanding stock purchase rights will be accelerated to a date fixed by the Compensation Committee prior to the effective date of the change-in-control; and
upon such effective date, any unexercised stock purchase rights will expire and we will refund to each participant the amount of his or her payroll deductions made for purposes of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan that have not yet been used to purchase stock.

 

As noted in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Stock and Incentive Plan was amended on February 13, 2019, subject to shareholder approval, to implement a new double-trigger vesting provision upon a change-of-control.

Eligibility for early retirement does not guarantee retention of stock awards (lapse of forfeiture restrictions on restricted stock and ability to exercise outstanding options for the remainder of the stated term). or the pro rata distribution of performance awards, if earned. Early retirement eligibility is a condition that must be met before the Compensation Committee will consider retention of stock awards and pro rata participation in performance awards upon separation from employment. For example, if a NEO is eligible for early retirement but is leaving us to go to work for a competitor, then the NEO’s stock awards would not be considered for retention.

 

Early Retirement (Without Approval). The impact on the NEO’s various elements of compensation is the same as described under Resignation except as follows:

 

Health Benefits.A NEO that was age 40 or older as of December 31, 2004, and qualifies for early retirement under our health and welfare plans, which require that the NEO has attained age 55 with ten years of service or that the NEO’s age

and years of service equals 70 points with a minimum of ten years of service, is eligible for a $12,000 credit toward retiree medical costs incurred prior to age 65. The credit is only applicable if the NEO chooses Halliburton retiree medical coverage. This benefit is amortized as a monthly credit applied to the cost of retiree medical coverage based on the number of months from the time of early retirement to age 65. For example, if a NEO is 10 years or 120 months away from age 65 at the time of the NEO’s early retirement, the NEO will receive a monthly credit in the amount of $100 ($12,000/120 months). Should the NEO choose not to elect coverage with Halliburton after the NEO’s separation, the NEO would not receive any cash in lieu of the credit.

Early Retirement (With(With Approval).The following actions will occur for the NEO’s various elements of compensation:

 

Severance Pay.No severance would be paid to the NEO.

CEO Pay Ratio

 

For 2018,2021, the annual total compensation of our CEO was 193291 times the median of the annual total compensation of all employees, based on annual total compensation of $17,016,991$23,607,166 for the CEO and $88,244$81,076 for the median employee. There was no material change in our employee demographics and compensation structure; therefore, the median employee identified in 20172020 was utilized in our 20182021 analysis. What follows is a description of the methodology used from 2017.2020.

 

This disclosure is based on an October 1, 2017,2020, employee population of 52,833,40,853, of which 21,86211,226 were U.S. employees and 30,97129,627 were non-U.S. employees. We excluded from this employee population 2,6372,020 non-U.S. employees from 47 countries as the total number of employees from these non-U.S. jurisdictions was less than 5% of our total employee population. After applying the exclusion, the total employee population was 50,196.38,833.

The median employee was identified using base pay, overtime pay, bonuses, allowances, and premiums. We used the total gross wages of all employees as of our determination date of October 1, 2017,2020, as a reasonable estimate of the median total gross wages for the employee population and identified all employees within 1% of the median total gross wages. From this group we selected an employee as a reasonable representative of our median employee. Annual total compensation for both the CEO and the median employee was calculated in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K.

 

The annual total compensation for our CEO includes both the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 20182021 Summary Compensation Table, $16,999,898,$23,591,982, and the estimated value of our CEO’s health and welfare benefits, $17,093.$15,184. Due to the flexibility afforded in calculating the CEO pay ratio, the ratio may not be comparable to CEO pay ratios presented by other companies.

If the amendment and restatement of the Plan is approved by shareholders, the aggregate number of shares of Halliburton common stock that will be available for issuance under the Plan would increase to 33,020,801 shares, based on the estimates set forth above, all of which shall be available for awards of incentive stock options. Each share issued as restricted stock (or pursuant to the vesting of a stock unit or a performance share award) will count as the issuance of 1.60 shares reserved under the Plan, while each share granted as a stock option or stock appreciation right will count as the issuance of 1.0 share reserved under the Plan. If awards granted under the Plan are forfeited or terminate before being exercised, then the shares underlying those awards will again become available for awards under the Plan.

The Plan does not provide for “liberal share counting” or “liberal share recycling”. Liberal share counting or liberal share recycling refers to circumstances where shares granted and exercised may be added back to an incentive plan for future issuance, including the following situations:

Shares tendered or withheld in payment of an exercise price;
Shares tendered or withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations;
Shares reacquired by an issuer with the proceeds of an option exercise price; and
Shares that are not issued due to a net settlement of an award.

In each of the situations above, such shares are no longer available for awards under the Plan. For example, shares withheld from an award to satisfy tax withholding obligations are no longer available for awards under the Plan, and a stock appreciation right or option will be counted in full against the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, regardless of whether a net settlement occurs resulting in a fewer number of shares issued than are covered by the stock appreciation right or option.

The number of stock option shares or stock appreciation rights, singly or in combination, together with shares or share equivalents under performance awards granted to any individual who is an employee in any one calendar year, shall not in the aggregate exceed 1,000,000. The cash value determined as of the date of grant of any performance award not denominated in common stock granted to any individual who is an employee for any one calendar year shall not exceed $30,000,000. The amendment and restatement of the Plan provides that the value of awards (based on fair market value determined as of the date of grant) granted to a non-management Director in any single calendar year, when added to any cash or other compensation payable to such Director in the same calendar year, shall not exceed $750,000.

In the event of any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary dividend or divestiture (including a spin-off), or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of common stock occurring after the date of the grant of an award, the Compensation Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the number and price of shares of common stock or other consideration subject to such awards and the award limits set forth in the preceding paragraph.

The Stock and Incentive Plan

Types of Awards

The Plan provides for the grant of any or all of the following types of awards:

stock options, including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options;
stock appreciation rights, either independent of, or in connection with, stock options;
restricted stock;
restricted stock units;
performance awards; and
stock value equivalent awards.

Term

The Plan has an indefinite term.

Any stock option granted in the form of an incentive stock option must satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Awards may be made to the same person on more than one occasion and may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem as determined by the Compensation Committee. To date, only awards of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and cash-based performance awards have been made under the Plan.

2019Proxy Statement57

Administration

The Board has appointed the Compensation Committee to administer the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, and to any approvals and other authority as the Board may reserve to itself from time to time, the Compensation Committee, consistent with the terms of the Plan, will have authority to:

select the individuals to receive awards and determine the timing, form, amount or value and term of grants and awards, including providing for terms regarding the accelerated vesting of an award otherwise subject to minimum vesting provisions, and the conditions and restrictions, if any, subject to which grants and awards will be made and become payable under the Plan;
construe the Plan and prescribe rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan; and
make any other determinations authorized under the Plan as the Compensation Committee deems necessary or appropriate.

Eligibility

A broad group of our employees and employees of our affiliates are eligible to participate in the Plan. The selection of participants from eligible employees is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Non-management Directors are eligible to participate in the Plan. As of January 1, 2019, approximately 12,000 employees (including employees and executive officers) and eight non-management Directors were eligible for awards under the Plan as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Stock Options

Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant awards in the form of stock options to purchase shares of common stock. The Compensation Committee will determine the number of shares subject to an option, the manner and time of the option’s exercise, and the exercise price per share of stock subject to the option. Options may not become exercisable in less than one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the Plan may be awarded without regard to the minimum one-year vesting period. The term of an option may not exceed ten years. We do not receive any consideration for granting stock options. The exercise price of a stock option will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. Repricing of stock options and reloading of stock options are prohibited unless prior shareholder approval is obtained. The Compensation Committee will designate each option as a nonqualified or an incentive stock option.

The option exercise price may, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, be paid by a participant in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and common stock.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Plan also authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant stock appreciation rights either independent of, or in connection with, a stock option. The exercise price of a stock appreciation right will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the stock appreciation right is granted. If granted with a stock option, exercise of stock appreciation rights will result in the surrender of the right to purchase the shares under the option as to which the stock appreciation rights were exercised. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, the holder receives for each share for which the stock appreciation right is exercised, an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise.

Payment of that amount may be made in shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and common stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Stock appreciation rights may not become exercisable in less than one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the Plan may be awarded without regard to the minimum one-year vesting period. The term of a stock appreciation right grant may not exceed ten years. Repricing of stock appreciation rights and reloading of stock appreciation rights are prohibited unless prior shareholder approval is obtained. We do not receive any consideration for granting stock appreciation rights.

Restricted Stock

The Plan provides that shares of common stock subject to specific restrictions may be awarded to eligible individuals as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will determine the nature and extent of the restrictions on the shares, the duration of the restrictions, and any circumstance under which restricted shares will be forfeited. The restriction period may not be less than one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the Plan may be awarded without regard to the minimum one-year vesting period. During the period of restriction, recipients will have the right to receive dividends and the right to vote the shares.

www.halliburton.comHALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy Statement58

Restricted Stock Units

The Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant restricted stock units. A restricted stock unit is a unit evidencing the right to receive one share of common stock or an equivalent cash value equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock. The Compensation Committee will determine the nature and extent of the restrictions on the restricted stock units, the duration of the restrictions, and any circumstance under which restricted stock units will be forfeited. The restriction period may not be less than one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the Plan may be awarded without regard to the minimum one-year vesting period. The Compensation Committee may provide for the payment of dividend equivalents during the period of restriction, but recipients will not have the right to receive actual dividends or to vote the shares underlying the restricted stock units.

Performance Awards

The Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant performance awards to eligible individuals. Performance awards are awards that are contingent, in whole or in part, on the achievement of one or more performance measures. Performance  awards may be settled in cash or stock, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The number of shares or share equivalents under performance awards, singly or in combination, together with the number of stock option shares or stock appreciation rights, granted to any individual in any one calendar year, shall not in the aggregate exceed 1,000,000. The cash value (determined as of the date of grant) of any performance award that is not denominated in stock granted to any one participant in a calendar year may not exceed $30,000,000. The vesting period of a performance award may not be less than one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the Stock and Incentive Plan may be awarded without regard to the minimum one-year vesting period.

The performance criteria that may be used by the Compensation Committee in granting performance awards consist of objective tests based on the following:

earnings
cash flow
customer satisfaction
revenues
financial return ratios
profit return and margins
market share
working capital
cash value added performance
return on capital
shareholder return and/or value
operating profits (including EBITDA)
net profits
earnings per share
stock price
cost reduction goals
debt to capital ratio
any other criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee may select one criterion or multiple criteria for measuring performance. The measurement may be based on our overall corporate performance, based on subsidiary or business unit performance, or based on comparative performance with other companies or other external measures of selected performance criteria. The Compensation Committee will also determine the length of time over which performance will be measured and the effect of a recipient’s death, disability, retirement, or other termination of service during the performance period.

Stock Value Equivalent Awards

The Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant stock value equivalent awards to eligible individuals. Stock value equivalent awards are rights to receive the fair market value of a specified number of shares of common stock, or the appreciation in the fair market value of the shares, over a specified period of time, pursuant to a vesting schedule, all as determined by the Compensation Committee. Stock value equivalent awards may not vest earlier than one year from the date of grant, provided that up to 5% of the shares available for grant under the Plan may be awarded without regard to the minimum one-year vesting period. Payment of the vested portion of a stock value equivalent award shall be made in cash, based on the fair market value of the common stock on the payment date. The Compensation Committee will also determine the effect of a recipient’s death, disability, retirement, or other termination of service during the applicable period.

HALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy Statement59

Amendment

The Plan provides that the Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan. However, the Board may not, without approval of the shareholders, amend the Plan to effect a “material revision” of the Plan, where a “material revision” includes, but is not limited to, a revision that:

materially increases the benefits accruing to a Holder under the Plan;
materially increases the aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the Plan;
materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan; or
changes the types of awards available under the Plan.

No amendment or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the optionee or participant, alter or impair rights under any options or other awards previously granted.

The summary of the Plan provided above is a summary of the principal features of the Plan. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of all of the provisions of the Plan. It is qualified in its entirety by references to the full text of the Plan. A copy of the Plan can be found in Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Change-in-Control

Prior to the amendment and restatement of the Plan, awards would automatically vest upon the occurrence of a corporate change. Under the amended and restated Plan, awards are subject to double-trigger vesting, such that, if a participant experiences an involuntary termination without cause, a termination due to death or disability, a termination for good reason (or similar constructive termination event upon which a severance benefit is payable), as provided for in a holder’s employment agreement, if applicable, or another termination event as defined in an award document within the period beginning on the date of the public announcement of a transaction that, if consummated, would constitute a corporate change and ending on the date that is the earlier of the announcement of the termination of the proposed transaction or two years after the consummation of the transaction, the following will occur automatically:

any outstanding options and stock appreciation rights shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable for the full term thereof;
any restrictions on restricted stock awards or restricted stock unit awards shall immediately lapse;
all performance measures upon which an outstanding performance award is contingent shall be deemed achieved and the holder shall receive a payment equal to the target amount of the award he or she would have been entitled to receive; and
any outstanding cash awards, including stock value equivalent awards, shall immediately vest and be paid based on the vested value of the award.

Plan Benefits

All awards to directors, executive officers, and employees are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Therefore, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the Plan, as amended and restated, are not determinable at this time.

Federal Income Tax Treatment

The following summarizes the current U.S. federal income tax consequences generally arising for awards under the Plan.

A participant who is granted an incentive stock option does not realize any taxable income at the time of the grant or at the time of exercise, but in some circumstances may be subject to an alternative minimum tax as a result of the exercise. Similarly, we are not entitled to any deduction at the time of grant or at the time of exercise. If the participant makes no disposition of the shares acquired pursuant to an incentive stock option before the later of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise, any gain or loss realized on a subsequent disposition of the shares will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss. Under these circumstances, we will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. If the participant fails to hold the shares for that period, the disposal is treated as a disqualifying disposition. The gain on the disposition is ordinary income to the participant to the extent of the difference between the option price and the fair market value on the exercise date. Any excess is long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on the holding period. Under these circumstances, we will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the ordinary income amount the participant recognizes in a disqualifying disposition.

A participant who is granted a nonqualified stock option does not have taxable income at the time of grant, but does have taxable income at the time of exercise. The income equals the difference between the exercise price of the shares and the market value of the shares on the date of exercise. We are entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for the same amount.

The grant of a stock appreciation right will produce no U.S. federal tax consequences for the participant or us. The exercise of a stock appreciation right results in taxable income to the participant, equal to the difference between the exercise price of the shares and the market price of the shares on the date of exercise, and a corresponding tax deduction to us.

www.halliburton.comHALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy Statement60

A participant who has been granted an award of restricted shares of common stock or an award of restricted stock units will not realize taxable income at the time of the grant. When the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize taxable income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares or cash received at that time over the amount, if any, paid for the shares. We will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction. Dividends on restricted stock and dividend equivalents, if any, on restricted stock units paid to the participant during the restriction period will also be compensation income to the participant and will be deductible as compensation expense by us.

A participant who has been granted a performance award will not realize taxable income at the time of the grant, and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at that time. A participant will realize ordinary income at the time the award is paid equal to the amount of cash paid or the value of shares delivered, and we will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction.

The grant of a stock value equivalent award produces no U.S. federal income tax consequences for the participant or us. The payment of a stock value equivalent award results in taxable income to the participant equal to the amount of the payment received, valued with reference to the fair market value of the common stock on the payment date. We are entitled to a corresponding tax deduction for the same amount.

We may deduct any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with any award.

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code generally provides that any deferred compensation arrangement which does not meet specific requirements regarding (i) timing of payouts, (ii) advance election of deferrals, or (iii) restrictions on acceleration of payouts will result in immediate taxation of any amounts deferred to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Failure to comply with Section 409A may result in the early taxation (plus interest) to the holder of deferred compensation and the imposition of a 20% penalty on the holder on such deferred amounts included in the holder’s income. In general, to avoid a Section 409A violation, amounts deferred may only be paid out on separation from service, disability, death, a change-in-control, an unforeseen emergency (other than death), each as defined under Section 409A, or at a specified time. Furthermore, the election to defer generally must be made in the calendar year prior to performance of services, and any provision for accelerated payout, other than for the reasons specified above, may cause the amounts deferred to be subject to early taxation and to the imposition of the excise tax. Based on current guidance, we expect that we will be able to structure future awards in a manner that complies with Section 409A.

General/Vote Required

The closing price of our common stock on March 18, 2019, as traded on the NYSE, was $28.87 per share.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Halliburton’s common stock represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is needed to approve the proposal.

The purpose of the Halliburton Company Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide a means whereby Halliburton Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiaries may attract, motivate and retain highly competent employees and to provide a means whereby selected employees can acquire and maintain stock ownership and receive cash awards, thereby strengthening their concern for the long-term welfare of the Company. The Plan is also intended to provide employees with additional incentive and reward opportunities designed to enhance the profitable growth of the Company over the long term.

IV.Administration
(a)Composition of Committee: The Plan shall be administered by a Committee of Directors of the Company which shall be appointed by the Board.

www.halliburton.com  HALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy StatementA-3
whether an Incentive Stock Option, nonqualified Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under each Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award, and the value of each Performance Award and Stock Value Equivalent Award. The Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to establish the terms and conditions applicable to any Award, subject to any specific limitations or provisions of the Plan. In making such determinations the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective individuals, their responsibility level, their present and potential contribution to the Company’s success and such other factors as the Committee in its discretion shall deem relevant. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting or exercisability of an Award upon a Corporate Change, upon a termination of employment or service by reason of death, disability, retirement or otherwise or for any other reason.
(c)Additional Powers. The Committee shall have such additional powers as are delegated to it by the other provisions of the Plan. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee is authorized to construe the Plan and the respective Award Documents executed thereunder, to prescribe such rules and regulations relating to the Plan as it may deem advisable to carry out the Plan, and to determine the terms, restrictions and provisions of each Award, including such terms, restrictions and provisions as shall be requisite in the judgment of the Committee to cause designated Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. The Committee may correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award Document relating to an Award in the manner and to the extent the Committee shall deem expedient to carry the Award into effect. The determinations of the Committee on the matters referred to in this Article IV shall be conclusive.
(d)Delegation of Authority. The Committee may delegate some or all of its power to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company as the Committee deems appropriate; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its power with regard to the selection for participation in the Plan of an officer or other person subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or decisions concerning the timing, pricing or amount of an Award to such an officer or other person and any delegation of the power to grant Awards shall be permitted by applicable law.
(e)Engagement of an Agent. The Company may, in its discretion, engage an agent to (i) maintain records of Awards and Holders’ holdings under the Plan, (ii) execute sales transactions in shares of Common Stock at the direction of Holders, (iii) deliver sales proceeds as directed by Holders, and (iv) hold shares of Common Stock owned without restriction by Holders, including shares of Common Stock previously obtained through the Plan that are transferred to the agent by Holders at their discretion.

V.Grant of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards, Performance Awards and Stock Value Equivalent Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan
(a)Award Limits. The Committee may from time to time grant Awards to one or more individuals determined by it to be eligible for participation in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article VI. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed 33,020,801 shares, all of which shall be available for Awards of Incentive Stock Options. Shares issued as Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards or pursuant to Performance Awards will count against the shares available for issuance under the Plan as 1.60 shares for every 1 share issued in connection with the Award. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of Option shares or Stock Appreciation Rights, singly or in combination, together with shares or share equivalents under Performance Awards granted to any Holder who is an employee in any one calendar year, shall not in the aggregate exceed 1,000,000. The cash value determined as of the date of grant of any Performance Award not denominated in Common Stock granted to any Holder who is an employee in any one calendar year shall not exceed $30,000,000. The fair market value, determined as of the date of grant, of Awards granted to a Holder who is a non-management Director in any one calendar year, when added to any cash or other compensation payable to such a Holder in such calendar year, shall not exceed $750,000. Any shares which remain unissued and which are not subject to outstanding Options or Awards at the termination of the Plan shall cease to be subject to the Plan, but, until termination of the Plan, the Company shall at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares to meet the requirements of the Plan. If Awards are forfeited or are terminated for any other reason before being exercised or settled, then the shares underlying such Awards shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares shall not become available for Awards under the Plan: (i) shares tendered by an Optionee or withheld by the Company for payment of an option price, (ii) shares tendered by a Holder or withheld by the Company to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligation in connection with an Award, (iii) shares reacquired in the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of Options, and (iv) shares that are not issued to a Holder due to a net settlement of an Award. For purposes of clarity, Stock Appreciation Rights

HALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy StatementA-4
and Options shall be counted in full against the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan, regardless of the number of shares issued upon settlement of the Stock Appreciation Rights and Options. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment in the same manner as provided in Article XIII with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Options then outstanding.

(d)Miscellaneous. Nothing in this Article shall prohibit the exchange of shares issued under the Plan (whether or not then subject to a Restricted Stock Award) pursuant to a plan of reorganization for stock or securities in the Company or another corporation a party to the reorganization, but the stock or securities so received for shares then subject to the restrictions of a Restricted Stock Award shall become subject to the restrictions of such Restricted Stock Award. Any shares of stock received as a result of a stock split or stock dividend with respect to shares then subject to a Restricted Stock Award shall also become subject to the restrictions of the Restricted Stock Award.
X.Restricted Stock Unit Awards
(a)Restriction Period To Be Established by the Committee.

A Holder shall not be required to make any payment for Common Stock received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, except to the extent otherwise required by law and except that the Committee may, in its discretion, charge the Holder an amount in cash not in excess of the par value of the shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan to the Holder.
(d)Restricted Stock Units in Substitution for Units Granted by Other Corporations. Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for restricted stock units held by employees of corporations who become, or who became prior to the effective date of the Plan, employees of the Company or of any Subsidiary as a result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or such Subsidiary, or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of all or a portion of the assets of the employing corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of stock of the employing corporation with the result that such employing corporation becomes a Subsidiary.

XII.Stock Value Equivalent Awards
(a)Stock Value Equivalent Awards. Stock Value Equivalent Awards are rights to receive an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of shares of Common Stock or rights to receive an amount equal to any appreciation or increase in the Fair Market Value of Common Stock over a specified period of time, which is subject to a Restriction Period as established by the Committee, without payment of any amounts by the Holder thereof (except to the extent otherwise required by law) or satisfaction of any performance criteria or objectives.

(b)The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of debt or equity securities having any priority or preference with respect to or affecting Common Stock or the rights thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or any part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

www.halliburton.com  HALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy StatementA-7
respect to which such Award relates or may thereafter be exercised (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately increased, and, as applicable, the purchase price per share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares shall be proportionately reduced, and, as applicable, the purchase price per share shall be proportionately increased.
(d)If the Company recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, thereafter upon any exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or payment in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award theretofore granted, the Holder shall be entitled to purchase or receive, as applicable, under such Award, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Award relates or shall then be exercisable, the number and class of shares of stock and securities and the cash and other property to which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to such recapitalization, the Holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Award.
(e)Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of an employee Holder’s Qualifying Termination, unless an Award Document otherwise provides, as of the date of such Holder’s termination of service (i) any outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable for the full term thereof, (ii) any restrictions on Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall immediately lapse, (iii) all performance measures upon which an outstanding Performance Award is contingent shall be deemed achieved and the Holder shall receive a payment equal to the target amount of the Award he or she would have been entitled to receive, without proration, and (iv) any outstanding cash Awards including Stock Value Equivalent Awards shall immediately vest and be paid based on the vested value of the Award.
(f)Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted, the purchase price per share of Common Stock subject to Options or the calculation of the Spread with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XIII shall be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, and settlement of Awards under Section 13(e) will be delayed until the scheduled payment or vesting date to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to avoid the taxes imposed thereunder.
XIV.Amendment or Termination of the Plan
The Board in its discretion may terminate the Plan or alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof from time to time; provided that no change in any Award theretofore granted may be made which would impair the rights of the Holder without the consent of the Holder, and provided, further, that the Board may not, without approval of the stockholders, amend the Plan to effect a “material revision” of the Plan, where a “material revision” includes, but is not limited to, a revision that: (a) materially increases the benefits accruing to a Holder under the Plan, (b) materially increases the aggregate number of securities that may be issued under the Plan, (c) materially modifies the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (d) changes the types of awards available under the Plan.
XV.Other
(a)No Right To An Award. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any action of the Board or of the Committee shall be deemed to give an employee or a non-management Director any right to be granted an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right, a right to a Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Award or Stock Value Equivalent Award or any other rights hereunder except as may be evidenced by an Award or by an Option or Stock Appreciation Agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company, and then only to the extent of and on the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein. The Plan shall be unfunded. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of funds or assets to assure the payment of any Award.
(b)No Employment Rights Conferred. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award made hereunder shall:

(i)confer upon any employee any right to continuation of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary; or
(ii)interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate his or her employment at any time.
(c)No Rights to Serve as a Director Conferred. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award made hereunder shall confer upon any Director any right to continue their position as a Director of the Company.
(d)Other Laws; Withholding. The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Award at any time, when the offering of the shares of Common Stock covered by such Award has not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or such other country, U.S. federal or state laws, rules or regulations as the Company deems applicable and, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, there is no exemption from the registration. The Company intends to use reasonable efforts to ensure that no such delay will occur. In the event exemption from registration under the Act is available upon vesting of an Award, the Participant, if requested by the Company to do so, will execute and deliver to the Company in writing an agreement containing such provisions as the Company may require to assure

HALLIBURTON  |  2019Proxy StatementA-8
compliance with applicable securities laws. By accepting an Award, the Participant agrees that the shares of Common Stock which the Participant may acquire upon vesting of an Award will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any manner which would constitute a violation of any applicable U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. securities laws. Furthermore, the Participant also agrees (i) that the Company may refuse to register the transfer of the shares of Common Stock acquired under an Award on the stock transfer records of the Company if such proposed transfer would in the opinion of counsel to the Company constitute a violation of any applicable securities law, and (ii) that the Company may give related instructions to its transfer agent, if any, to stop registration of the transfer of the shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be delivered, nor shall any cash in lieu of fractional shares be paid. The Company shall have the right to deduct in connection with all Awards any taxes required by law to be withheld and to require any payments necessary to enable it to satisfy its withholding obligations. The Committee may permit the Holder of an Award to elect to surrender, or authorize the Company to withhold, shares of Common Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of surrender or withholding of such shares) in satisfaction of the Company’s withholding obligation, subject to such restrictions as the Committee deems appropriate.
(e)No Restriction on Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from taking any corporate action which is deemed by the Company or such Subsidiary to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on the Plan or any Award made under the Plan. No Holder, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action.
(f)Restrictions on Transfer. No Award may be sold, assigned, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated, encumbered, disposed of, or otherwise transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a “qualified domestic relations order” as defined by the Code or Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or similar order. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of an Award or of such rights contrary to the provisions of an Award Document or in the Plan, the Award and such rights shall immediately become null and void. The Committee may prescribe and include in the respective Award Documents hereunder other restrictions on transfer. Upon a Holder’s death, the Holder’s personal representative or other person entitled to succeed to the rights of the Holder (the “Successor Holder”) may exercise such rights as are provided under the applicable Award Document. A Successor Holder must furnish proof satisfactory to the Company of his or her rights to exercise the Award under the Holder’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion, to grant (or to sanction by way of amendment to an existing grant) Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) which may be transferred by the Holder for no consideration to or for the benefit of the Holder’s Immediate Family, to a trust solely for the benefit of the Holder and his Immediate Family, or to a partnership or limited liability company in which the Holder and members of his Immediate Family have at least 99% of the equity, profit and loss interest, in which case the Award Document shall so state. A transfer of an Award pursuant to this Paragraph (f) shall be subject to such rules and procedures as the Committee may establish. In the event an Award is transferred as contemplated in this Paragraph (f), such Award may not be subsequently transferred by the transferee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Award shall continue to be governed by and subject to the terms and limitations of the Plan and the relevant written instrument for the Award and the transferee shall be entitled to the same rights as the Holder under Articles XIII and XIV hereof as if no transfer had taken place. No transfer shall be effective unless and until written notice of such transfer is provided to the Committee, in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee. The consequences of termination of employment shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Holder, following which the Awards shall be exercised by the transferee only to the extent and for the periods specified in the Plan and the related Award Document. The Option Agreement, Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement, Restricted Stock Award Agreement, Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement or other Award Document shall specify the effect of the death of the Holder on the Award.
(g)Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent that it implicates matters which are the subject of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware which matters shall be governed by the latter law.
(h)Foreign Awardees. Without amending the Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to eligible persons who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, subplans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of laws and regulations in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operate.
(i)Clawback or Recoupment. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award shall be subject to clawback, recovery or recoupment by the Company under any clawback or recoupment policy adopted by the Company, whether before or after the date of grant of the Award.
