A Note About Charitable Giving and Matching. Halliburton believes charitable giving and charitable matching programs benefit the communities in which we live and work and are the right thing to do. These charitable gifts include a corporate match that all employees and Directors may access to direct giving to colleges, universities, and hospitals. By matching charitable gifts to colleges and universities, we invest in the next generation and help build a sustainable pipeline of talent. During shareholder engagement, our shareholders have provided feedback to us that investing in the future through giving to colleges and universities is one positive way to attract future employees. For Directors and officers who participate, the "All Other Compensation" column will include a calculation of the charitable match. Here are a few examples of matches: Directors make charitable contributions to support colleges and universities as we collectively work to improve recruiting and STEM programs, and also to Texas Children's Hospital, recognized as one of the United States' best, largest, and most comprehensive specialty pediatric hospitals and a resource for health and hope to all children and their families. For Directors, the Halliburton Foundation matches personal contributions up to 2.25 times the amount contributed by the Director up to a maximum match of $112,500, with the matched funds paid directly to the college, university, or hospital, not the Directors. Our Directors derive no personal benefit from these contributions. 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 executive officer that exceeds in any single year the greater of $1 million or 2% of such charitable organization’s consolidated gross revenues. Finally, if they choose to participate, the Halliburton Political Action Committee allows Directors to participate in HALPAC, and the Company provides a dollar-for-dollar match on contributions over $100 annually, up to a $5,000 limit match to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of the contributor’s choice.

any changes for 2025?
any changes for 2025? AThe Compensation Committee, as part of its ongoing oversight, closely monitors industry trends and evaluates how changes might affect our executive compensation program. The ongoing consolidation in the exploration and production sector has emerged as a shared priority and a main topic of discussion for both the Compensation Committee and our shareholders. This year, shareholders highlighted the potential impact of the ongoing consolidation on the relevance of our Performance Peer Group used for measuring relative performance to determine payouts under our PUP. While no formal directives were given, these discussions underscored the importance of ensuring our Performance Peer Group remains relevant and robust in a rapidly evolving business landscape. As such, starting with the 2025 PUP cycle, there will be a new Performance Peer Group for purposes of evaluating Halliburton's relative performance for both the Return on Capital Employed and relative Total Shareholder Return metrics as of the three-year period ending December 31, 2027. The revised Performance Peer Group is as follows:
any changes for 2025?

Determination of CEO Target Total Compensation
Determination of CEO Target Total Compensation When determining target total compensation for the CEO, the Compensation Committee evaluates CEO compensation through various lenses to ensure that it is setting competitive total target compensation opportunities and approving actual compensation outcomes that are aligned with actual performance results and shareholder expectations. Under our PUP, we use a mix of performance cash (50%) and performance stock (50%). This approach affects how we report executive compensation in the Summary Compensation Table, making it impractical to directly compare our executives' actual reported pay with competitors who use 100% stock for long-term incentives — because under the SEC’s reporting rules, these two methods yield different disclosures. Specifically, performance cash is reported when paid and performance stock is reported when granted. This means that when we outperform our competitors, our reported pay can be materially higher than theirs even if their actual pay is the same or higher. In other words, to achieve a comparator like-for- like compensation analysis, additional analysis is required. Total target compensation for our CEO is structured to target market competitive pay levels in base salary and short- and long-term incentive opportunities relative to market pay levels for CEOs in our Comparator Peer Group. Total target compensation opportunities are set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each performance period and are intended to be forward looking. Because our philosophy places an emphasis on variable pay at risk, and also uses a mix of cash and stock for performance-based long-term incentives, actual pay results may be above or below the 50th percentile of our Comparator Peer Group depending on performance. The chart below compares Mr. Miller’s last five years of total target compensation as approved by the Compensation Committee to the total target compensation of our two largest peers in the oilfield sector: As shown above, Mr. Miller's year-over-year increase in target total compensation reflects adjustments made in 2024 to align his compensation with our philosophy of targeting market median pay levels for our NEOs. Specifically, adjustments were made to the following pay elements for Mr. Miller: •Base Salary - Increased from $1.6 million to $1.65 million in recognition of his performance and to align his total target direct compensation with the market median of our Comparator Peer Group. •Short Term Incentive Target - Remained unchanged at 150% of base salary. The increase in STI target compensation noted above is a result of the increased salary for 2024. •Long Term Incentive Target - Increased by $1.4 million to align with the market median LTI of our Comparator Peer Group.
Determination of CEO Target Total Compensation
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. Each year, our CEO and the members of the Board agree upon a set of objectives addressing the following areas: •Leadership and vision; •Integrity; •Keeping the Board informed on matters affecting Halliburton; •Performance of the business; •Development and implementation of initiatives that provide long-term economic benefits; •Accomplishment of strategic objectives; and •Development of management. Other NEOs’ compensation is determined similarly by evaluating each NEO’s performance and considering the market competitive pay levels of the Comparator 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, with more than thirty former Halliburton executives departing to become CEOs and/or senior executives of other oilfield services companies.

Use of Independent Consultants and Advisors
Use of Independent Consultants and Advisors The Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer as its independent compensation consultant during 2024. Pearl Meyer does not provide any other services to us. The primary responsibilities of the independent compensation consultant are to: •Provide independent and objective market data; •Conduct compensation analysis; •Recommend potential changes to the Comparator Peer Group and Performance Peer Group; •Recommend plan design changes; •Advise on risks associated with compensation plans; and •Review and advise on pay programs and pay levels. These services are provided as requested by the Compensation Committee throughout the year. Based on their review of our executive compensation program, Pearl Meyer concluded that our compensation plans do not appear to present any material risks to the Company or its shareholders.
Comparator and Performance Peer Companies
Comparator and Performance Peer Companies 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. In determining appropriate bases for comparison, the Compensation Committee and our external compensation consultant have considered the fact that we operate in an industry with very few direct peers of our size and reach. Additionally, many companies of our size and talent composition operate in industries that lack the cyclicality of our own. As a result, the Compensation Committee has determined that multiple peer groups should be employed, for specific purposes. We have discussed these peer groups with our shareholders, who are aware of the peer group construction challenges we face and are supportive of the groups we have developed. The following provides context for the different peer groups used to support the Compensation Committee’s process:
Comparator and Performance Peer Companies
| Comparator Peer Group — used to determine market levels of total compensation for the 2024 plan year. | | Performance Peer Group — used to assess relative ROCE performance over a three-year performance period for determining 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). |
2024 Comparator Peer Group
2024 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 Group are reviewed annually by the Committee and 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. With data provided by the independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee reviews the Comparator Peer Group annually to ensure relevance. There are challenges developing a comparator peer group based solely on our industry affiliation as the majority of our direct peers are significantly smaller in size and scale of operations. Consequently, expansion beyond the direct industry is necessary to maintain a sufficient sample size of suitable comparison companies.
2024 Comparator Peer Group
| HALLIBURTON | 2025 Proxy Statement | 51 |
2024 Comparator Peer Group
The 2024 Comparator Peer Group was composed of the following peer companies within the energy industry, as well as selected companies representing general industry. The 2024 Comparator Peer Group is unchanged from 2023. This peer group was utilized to determine market levels of total compensation for the 2024 plan year:
2024 Comparator Peer Group
| 3M Company | Hess Corporation | | Apache Corporation | Honeywell International Inc. | | Baker Hughes Company | Johnson Controls International plc | | Caterpillar Inc. | NOV Inc. | | ConocoPhillips | Occidental Petroleum Corporation | | Deere and Company | SLB | | Emerson Electric Co. | Transocean Ltd. | | Fluor Corporation | Weatherford International plc |
2024 Comparator Peer Group
Because of variances in market capitalization and revenue size among the companies comprising our Comparator Peer Group, the market data is size adjusted by revenue as necessary so that it is comparable with our trailing 12-month revenue. These adjusted values are used to compare our executives’ compensation to those of the 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 50th percentile of our Comparator Peer Group depending on performance. A consistent pre-tax, present value methodology is used in assessing stock-based and other long-term incentive awards. The independent compensation consultant gathers and performs an analysis of market data for each NEO, comparing each of their individual components of compensation and total compensation to those of the Comparator Peer Group. This competitive analysis consists of comparing the market data of each of the pay elements and total compensation at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of the Comparator Peer Group to current compensation for each NEO.
2024 Performance Peer Group
2024 Performance Peer Group For determining PUP award payouts, the Compensation Committee compares 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 reviewed annually by the Committee and 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 2024 PUP 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, 2026. The Performance Peer Group used for the 2024 PUP consists of the following companies, and is unchanged from the Performance Peer Group from 2023:
2024 Performance Peer Group
| Apache Corporation | Nabors Industries Ltd. | | Baker Hughes Company | NOV Inc. | | Chesapeake Energy Corporation | SLB | | Devon Energy Corporation | TechnipFMC plc | | Hess Corporation | Transocean Ltd. | | Marathon Oil Corporation | Weatherford International plc | | Murphy Oil Corporation | The Williams Companies, Inc. |
Base Salary
Base Salary The Compensation Committee generally targets base salaries at the median of the 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. The Compensation Committee reviewed the base salary of each of our NEOs, and upon review of the market data and other relevant factors, the Compensation Committee made the following adjustments to our NEOs’ base salaries effective January 1, 2024.
Base Salary
Mr. Miller’s base salary was increased from $1.60 million to $1.65 million in recognition of his performance and to align his total target direct compensation with the market median of our Comparator Peer Group. In connection with Mr. Slocum's promotion to President – Eastern Hemisphere, his base salary was increased from $600,000 to $800,000.
Short-Term (Annual) Incentive
Short-Term (Annual) Incentive The Annual Performance Pay Plan is designed to provide executives and other key members of management the opportunity to earn an annual cash bonus based on the annual performance of the Company. The Annual Performance Pay Plan places a significant percentage of each NEO’s annual cash compensation at risk and aligns the interests of executives and shareholders. It is administered in accordance with the terms of the Stock and Incentive Plan.
2024 Financial Metrics
(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 performance with cash reward opportunities. The performance goals range from “Threshold” to “Target” to “Maximum”. Threshold reflects the minimum performance level that must be achieved for an award to be earned and Maximum reflects the maximum awards that can be earned. Traditionally, 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 our performance relative to our competitors. Given the cyclical nature of our business, our performance goals vary from year to year, reflecting goals that are consistently rigorous but also reflective of the commodity price environment in which our industry operates. 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.
2024 Performance Results
| Category | Weight | Performance Measures | Threshold | Target | Maximum | Actual | | Financial | 60% | Net Operating Profit After Tax | $2.933B | $3.192B | $3.451B | $2.979B | | | 20% | Asset Turns | 1.775 | 1.811 | 1.847 | 1.755 | | Non-Financial Strategic | 10% | Sustainability | | | | Achieved | | | 10% | Our People | | | | Achieved |
Long-Term Incentives
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 planning and commitment. Long-term incentives represent the largest component of total executive compensation opportunity. 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 incentivizing our management to meet performance goals. For the 2024 plan year, the Compensation Committee used the following combination of equity vehicles for long-term incentive grants:
Long-Term Incentives
| Vehicle | Weighting | Purpose | | Performance Units(1) | 70% of Award | Rewards achievement of specific financial goals measured over a three-year performance period | | Restricted Stock(2) | 30% of Award | Supports leadership retention/stability objectives; five-year vesting period |
Long-Term Incentives
(1)Performance units vest upon achievement of specific financial goals measured over a three-year performance period and are denominated 50% in cash and 50% in stock. Dividend equivalents are measured and vest based on the same performance conditions as the units denominated in stock. Accrued dividend equivalents that vest are paid out in cash. (2)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 Compensation Committee. Shares of restricted stock receive dividend or dividend equivalent payments.
Individual Incentive Opportunities
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 scope receiving awards of varying size. Awards are targeted to the market median. Mr. Miller's 2024 long-term incentive award was aligned with the market median of our Comparator Peer Group. As part of its process, the Compensation Committee reviews and makes decisions about target long-term incentive award opportunities for the following year during its regular December meeting. Stock grants are then determined by dividing the grant value by the average of the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on each business day during the month of December. The Compensation Committee reviews the final stock grant calculations again in January and determines final approval. For the 2024 plan year, the Compensation Committee approved restricted stock and performance share grants in January 2024. Individual incentive opportunities are established based on market references and the NEO’s role within the organization. In the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2024 table, the Threshold, Target, and Maximum columns under the heading Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards indicate the potential cash payout for each NEO under the 2024 PUP cycle, and the Threshold, Target, and Maximum columns under the heading Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards indicate the potential shares that can be earned by each NEO for the 2024 PUP cycle. The potential payouts are performance driven and completely at risk. Actual payouts and shares vesting, if any, will not be determined until the three-year cycle closes on December 31, 2026.
A Closer Look at the Performance Unit Program
A Closer Look at the Performance Unit Program The PUP 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. The program measures ROCE on a relative basis to the results of a performance peer group over three years. 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. The 2024 Performance Peer Group is listed on page 51 of this CD&A.

A Closer Look at 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:
A Closer Look at the Performance Unit Program
| ROCE | = | + Net income | After-tax interest expense | | | | | Shareholders’ equity (average of beginning and end of period) | + | Debt (average of beginning and end of period) |
A Closer Look at the Performance Unit Program
| 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 a clear line of sight to long-term financial results. |
A Closer Look at the Performance Unit Program
Consistent with our executive compensation objectives and strategy to deliver leading returns in our industry, over the past ten 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.

2022 PUP Cycle Results
2022 PUP Cycle Results The incentive opportunity set for our NEOs for the 2022 PUP cycle was based on Halliburton’s ROCE performance relative to that of our Performance Peer Group for the three-year period ending December 31, 2024. For this cycle, we achieved ROCE of 15.51% which was above the 50th percentile and below the 75th percentile of our Performance Peer Group’s ROCE of 12.43% and 15.77%, respectively, yielding an award paid at 192.22% of the target opportunity level. For the three- year period ending December 31, 2024, we achieved TSR of 30.9%, which was between the 25th and 50th percentile relative to the OSX and yielded no modification to the payout. For purposes of calculating TSR, Halliburton Company is excluded from the peer group, dividends are reinvested on the ex-dividend date, and a one-month averaging period is used beginning with the calendar month preceding the beginning of the performance period and ending with the last calendar month of the performance period. The 2022 PUP Cycle will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in stock. Dividend equivalents are measured and vest based on the same performance conditions as the units denominated in stock. Dividend equivalents are paid in cash. The NEOs received cash payments as set forth in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table. The equity payment is reported in the 2024 Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Since 2020, the Compensation Committee has not used annual awards of stock options as an element of employee compensation for our executive officers and other employees. We therefore (i) do not grant, and have not granted, stock options in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information; (ii) we do not time, and have not timed, the release of material nonpublic information based on stock option grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation; and (iii) we do not take, and have not taken, material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of stock options. As stock options are not an element of employee compensation, we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of stock option grants, and we did not grant stock options or stock appreciation rights in 2024.

Hedging and Pledging Policy
Hedging and Pledging Policy We have a policy under which our Directors and executive officers, which includes all NEOs, and certain senior officers are prohibited from: •hedging activities related to Halliburton securities; and •the pledging of Halliburton securities. The policy defines hedging activities as the use of any financial instrument designed to hedge or offset a change in the market value of any Halliburton security and defines pledging as the use of a Halliburton security or any related derivative security as collateral for any form of indebtedness. Additionally, the policy: •discourages all employees and Directors from speculative activities in Halliburton securities and related derivative securities, such as puts or call options; •applies to all Halliburton securities, including restricted stock, restricted stock units, options, and debt securities, which are issued by any Halliburton entity, and any other security directly or indirectly exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into any Halliburton security; and •applies regardless of whether or not the securities were acquired from our equity compensation plans.
Elements of Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits
Elements of Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits Termination events that trigger payments and benefits include normal or early retirement, cause, death, disability, and voluntary termination. Post-termination or change-in-control payments with qualifying termination may include severance, accelerated vesting of restricted stock and stock options, payments under cash-based short- and long-term incentive plans, share vesting under the long-term incentive plan, payout of nonqualified account balances, and health benefits, among others. The impact of various events on each element of compensation for the NEOs is detailed in the Post-Termination or Change-In-Control Payment table.

Summary Compensation Table
(1)Mr. Slocum was promoted to President - Eastern Hemisphere in March 2023. 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 aggregate grant date fair value of the restricted stock and performance shares awarded in 2024. Each amount reflects an accounting expense and does not correspond to actual value that may be realized by a NEO in the future. Except where there is 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 restricted stock units granted by the closing stock price on the grant date. For the performance shares, a Monte Carlo simulation that uses a probabilistic approach was performed by an actuary to determine grant date fair value. The NEOs may never realize any value from these performance shares and, to the extent that they do, the amounts realized may have no correlation to the amounts reported above. Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. The Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column reflects amounts earned in 2024 for the 2024 Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Plan and the award amount payable in cash for the 2022 PUP cycle. The 2024 Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Plan amounts paid to each NEO are: $1,248,885 for Mr. Miller; $459,204 for Mr. Carre; $421,358 for Mr. Beckwith; $527,288 for Mr. Richard; and $444,032 for Mr. Slocum. The 2022 PUP cycle amounts paid to each NEO are: $6,772,103 for Mr. Miller; $1,914,703 for Mr. Carre; $1,914,703 for Mr. Beckwith; $2,390,352 for Mr. Richard; and $389,246 for Mr. Slocum. The amounts paid to the NEOs for the 2022 PUP cycle differ from what is shown in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal Year 2024 table under Estimated Future Payments Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards. That table indicates the potential award amounts payable in cash under the 2024 PUP cycle, which will close on December 31, 2026. 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 Annual Long-Term 120% AFR rate as of December 31, 2024. The 120% Annual AFR rate used for determining above-market earnings in 2024 was 5.45%.
Summary Compensation Table
| 64 | HALLIBURTON | 2025 Proxy Statement | www.halliburton.com |
Summary Compensation Table
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Above-Market Earnings. The current interest rate for active participant accounts in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is 5% as defined by the plan document. Because the 120% Annual AFR rate of 5.45% is above the interest rate earned by participants, there were no above-market earnings for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for 2024. Benefit Restoration Plan Above-Market Earnings. In accordance with the plan document, participants earn monthly interest at the Internal Revenue Service Monthly Long-Term 120% AFR rate, provided the interest rate shall be no less than 6% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Because the 120% Annual AFR rate was below the 6% minimum interest threshold, the above-market earnings associated with this plan were 0.55% (6% minus 5.45%) for 2024. NEOs earned above-market earnings for their balances associated with the plan as follows: $5,921 for Mr. Miller; $2,673 for Mr. Carre; $655 for Mr. Beckwith; $2,003 for Mr. Richard; and $467 for Mr. Slocum. Elective Deferral Plan Above-Market Earnings. The average NEO earnings for the balances associated with the Elective Deferral Plan were 13.70% for 2024. The above-market earnings associated with this plan equaled 8.25% (13.70% minus 5.45%) for 2024. NEOs earned above-market earnings for their balances associated with the plan as follows: $59,356 for Mr. Richard; and $88,231 for Mr. Slocum. The amounts shown in this column differ from the amounts shown for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, the Benefit Restoration Plan, and the Elective Deferral Plan in the 2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table under the Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year column because that table includes all earnings and losses, and the Summary Compensation Table shows above-market earnings only. All Other Compensation. Detailed information for amounts included in the All Other Compensation column can be found in the Supplemental Table: All Other Compensation.

The value realized for vested restricted stock awards was determined by multiplying the fair market value of the shares (closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the vesting date) by the number of shares that vested. Restricted shares vested on various dates throughout the year. The value listed represents the aggregate value of all shares that vested for each NEO in 2024. The value realized for vested performance shares awards was determined by multiplying the fair market value of the shares (closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2024) by the number of shares that vested.

(4)The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Oil Service Index (OSX), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the OSX, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance. (5)We determined Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-PEO NEOs in 2024, as we did in 2022-2023. More information on ROCE can be found in the Long-Term Incentives section of Compensation Discussion and Analysis. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2021 and 2020, and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

CEO Pay Ratio
CEO Pay Ratio For 2024, the annual total compensation of our CEO was 220 times the median of the annual total compensation of all employees, based on annual total compensation of $18,326,343 for the CEO and $83,367 for the median employee. This disclosure is based on an October 1, 2023, employee population of 47,429, of which 15,222 were U.S. employees and 32,207 were non-U.S. employees. We excluded from this employee population 2,289 non-U.S. employees from 43 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 45,140.

CEO Pay Ratio
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, 2023, 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 Summary Compensation Table, $18,326,343, and the estimated value of our CEO’s health and welfare benefits, $13,296. 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.
