Explanation of Responses:

1. The Company granted performance share units ("PSUs") to the reporting person on January 18, 2023. Vesting of the PSUs was based on three-year Company performance relative to select key competitors. 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. Shares of common stock reported hereunder represent shares finally determined to have been earned under the PSUs.

FAQ

What insider transaction did SLB (SLB) report for Howard Guild?

SLB reported that Chief Accounting Officer Howard Guild received 801 shares of common stock from vested performance share units. To satisfy tax obligations tied to this vesting, 316 shares were withheld, leaving him with 22,892 directly held SLB shares after the transactions.

Were Howard Guild’s SLB transactions open-market buys or sells?

The transactions were compensation-related, not open-market trades. Guild received 801 shares as a stock award and 316 shares were disposed of through tax withholding at $44.22 per share, meaning the company retained those shares to cover tax liabilities on the vesting.

How many SLB shares does Howard Guild hold after this Form 4?

After the award and related tax withholding, Howard Guild directly holds 22,892 SLB common shares. This reflects the net position following receipt of 801 shares from performance share units and the withholding of 316 shares to satisfy tax obligations on March 13, 2026.

What are the performance share units underlying Howard Guild’s SLB award?

The award stems from performance share units granted on January 18, 2023. Vesting depended on three-year company performance versus selected competitors, and the shares reported here represent the final amount determined to have been earned once all competitors’ 2025 audited results became available.

Why were only part of Howard Guild’s SLB PSUs initially settled?

When the compensation committee met in January 2026, many competitors had not yet reported 2025 audited results. The committee then approved issuing 80% of the shares thought earned. Once all competitor data was available by March 13, 2026, the final earned shares reported here were issued.

What does the tax-withholding transaction mean in Howard Guild’s SLB Form 4?

The F-code transaction reflects 316 shares withheld by SLB to cover tax liabilities from the vesting of performance share units. This is a non-market disposition mechanism, meaning those shares were not sold on the open market but used to satisfy required tax payments.
