HALLIBURTON REVISES CREDIT RATING TRIGGER
-----------------------------------------
Houston, Texas -- Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) announced today that it has
amended its agreements with banks under which $260 million of letters of credit
have been issued. The amended agreements remove the provision that previously
allowed the banks to require collateralization if ratings of Halliburton debt
fell below investment grade ratings. The revised agreements include provisions
that require the company to maintain certain ratios of debt to total capital and
of interest expense to total earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization.
Halliburton, founded in 1919, is one of the world's largest providers
of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. The company
serves its customers with a broad range of products and services through its
Energy Services Group and Engineering and Construction Group business segments.
