INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Election of Directors
Ms. Janet L. Weiss and Mr. Maurice S. Smith were elected as members of our Board of Directors effective February 22, 2023. Ms. Weiss retired as President of BP Alaska in 2020, after a 35-year career in the oil and gas industry. Mr. Smith is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Health Care Service Corporation, one of the largest health insurers in the United States. There are no arrangements or understandings between either Ms. Weiss or Mr. Smith and any other persons pursuant to which either of Ms. Weiss or Mr. Smith were elected as Directors. The Board will appoint Ms. Weiss and Mr. Smith to Committees of the Board in May. There are no related party transactions between Halliburton and either of Ms. Weiss or Mr. Smith.
Ms. Weiss and Mr. Smith will each participate in the compensation arrangements for non-management Directors as described in our Proxy Statement filed April 5, 2022. Ms. Weiss and Mr. Smith will each receive an initial equity award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) equal to a pro-rated amount of the annual equity award granted to our Directors of $185,000. Each RSU represents the right to receive a share of our common stock on a future date as provided in the award agreement. The factor used to determine the prorated award is the number of whole months of service from the beginning of the month in which a Director is first elected to the following first of December, divided by twelve. The number of RSUs awarded is then determined by dividing the prorated award amount by the average of the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on each business day during the month immediately preceding the Director’s election to the Board. Based on this formula, Ms. Weiss and Mr. Smith will each receive an initial award of 3,807 RSUs.
We entered into indemnification agreements with each of Ms. Weiss and Mr. Smith on February 22, 2023. The indemnification agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth therein, we will indemnify and advance certain expenses to the Director to the fullest extent, and only to the extent, permitted by applicable law in effect as of the date of the agreement and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. The foregoing description of the indemnification agreement is only a summary and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Form of Indemnification Agreement for Directors (first elected after January 1, 2013), which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
