Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Routine board expansion adding an experienced industry executive, with standard director pay and indemnification; governance impact, not an operational or financial shift.

Halliburton increased its board size from 11 to 12 and appointed Timothy A. Leach2026 annual meeting. He brings a 40‑year oil and gas career, including senior roles at ConocoPhillips and prior service as chairman and CEO of Concho Resources Inc. The filing states there are no special arrangements leading to his selection and no related‑party transactions requiring disclosure, which points to a straightforward governance move.

Leach will receive the standard non‑management director package, including an initial equity award of RSUs equal to $200,000, sized using the average NYSE closing price during the month before his appointment. This aligns his compensation with existing directors and ties value to Halliburton’s stock performance over time. The board plans to determine his committee assignments around February 2026, so his specific oversight areas will become clearer then.

Halliburton also entered into its standard director indemnification agreement with Leach, referencing an existing form filed previously, which offers legal protection and expense advancement to the extent permitted by law. This is a common safeguard and does not change Halliburton’s financial obligations beyond what is already contemplated in that form. Overall, the filing reflects an incremental governance enhancement with limited direct near‑term financial or operational impact; the most tangible future milestone is the committee assignment decision expected in February 2026.

He currently serves on the ConocoPhillips board, has served as executive vice president, Lower 48, and served as advisor to the chief executive officer. Prior to joining ConocoPhillips, he served as chairman and chief executive officer of Concho Resources Inc., since its formation in 2006 and led until its acquisition by ConocoPhillips in 2021.

Each RSU represents the right to receive a share of our common stock on a future date as provided in the award agreement. The number of RSUs awarded is determined by dividing the 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 appointment to the Board.
