Senior Notes financial

"its 4.550% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.800% Senior Notes due 2033"

Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

Indenture regulatory

"The Notes were issued under an Indenture dated as of December 3, 2013, by and among the Issuer"

An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.

Underwriting Agreement financial

"were sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated as of April 30, 2026"

An underwriting agreement is a contract where a company selling new stocks or bonds hires financial firms to buy those securities and resell them to investors. It matters because the agreement sets the offering price, number of securities, fees and which party bears the risk if sales fall short—think of it as a promise that the sale will happen and a roadmap investors can use to understand how the new securities reach the market.

Registration Statement regulatory

"under a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933"

A registration statement is a formal document that companies file with a government agency to offer new shares of stock to the public. It provides essential information about the company's finances, operations, and risks, helping investors make informed decisions. Think of it as a detailed product description that ensures transparency and trust before buying into a company.

prospectus supplement financial

"described under the caption “Description of the Notes” in the prospectus supplement dated April 30, 2026"

A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.

guaranteed financial

"The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by SLB Limited"

A guarantee is a formal promise that a payment or obligation will be met even if the original party cannot fulfill it, often provided by a third party, insurer, or legal contract. For investors it signals lower risk—similar to a co-signer on a loan—because the guarantor should cover missed payments or performance, but the protection only matters as much as the guarantor’s financial strength and the legal enforceability of the promise.
