TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 27, 2004, Baker Hughes Incorporated (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Stock Matching Agreement (the “Agreement”) with James R. Clark, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The Agreement amends the prior Stock Matching Agreement to allow Mr. Clark to be able to sell up to 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock which he purchased on the open market in connection with the matching requirement under the Agreement. In addition, upon the earlier of March 7, 2006 or vesting of the 25,000 restricted shares issued to Mr. Clark under the Agreement, Mr. Clark will be able to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding on the 25,000 shares by having the Company hold back a portion of the restricted shares.
Also, on October 27, 2004, Mr. Clark was given a 40,000 share restricted stock award of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $44.20 (the “Award”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Award, the 10,000 shares will vest on October 27, 2007 and 2008 and the remaining 20,000 shares will vest on October 27, 2009. Mr. Clark will earn dividends on the 40,000 shares prior to vesting.
The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Award do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable Agreement and Award which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
