HALLIBURTON RENEWS SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS PLAN
DALLAS, Texas -- Halliburton Company announced today that it has renewed
and extended its Shareholders Rights Plan for ten years to December 15, 2005,
and made certain modifications to the Plan.
The rights issued under the Plan will now be exercisable after a person or
group acquires ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock, or
announces a tender offer the completion of which would result in the ownership
by a person or group of 15% or more of the common stock. The rights can now be
redeemed by the Company for $.01 per right and provisions have been added to the
Plan to avoid inadvertent triggering of the rights.
The Company said that, although the renewal of the Plan was not in response
to a current takeover threat, the Company's Board of Directors determined that
it was in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to renew the Plan in
the event a takeover threat develops in the future and it becomes necessary for
the Company to take action to make sure that its shareholders receive fair and
equal treatment.
Halliburton Company is one of the world's largest diversified energy
services, engineering, maintenance, and construction companies. Founded in 1919,
Halliburton provides a broad range of energy services and products, industrial
and marine engineering and construction services.
