Most of these competitors had not reported their 2025 audited financial results when the Company's compensation committee met in January 2026 to certify performance under the PSUs. As a result, the Company's compensation committee approved the issuance of 80% of the shares that the committee determined had been earned according to the information available to the committee at the time. As of March 13, 2026, all such competitors had reported their 2025 audited financial results.

Did the SLB CTO buy or sell shares on the open market in this filing?
