Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including financial statements, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20132015 accompanies this proxy statement. The Annual Report on Form 10-K shall not be considered as a part of the proxy solicitation material or as having been incorporated by reference.

Admission to the Annual Meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m., and the Annual Meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. Please note that we will ask you to present valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, when you check in at the registration desk.

You may not bring cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages into the Annual Meeting.

The record date for determination of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the close of business on March 24, 2014.21, 2016. Our common stock, par value $2.50 per share, is our only class of capital stock that is outstanding. As of March 24, 2014,21, 2016, there were 844,192,203858,517,672 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each of our outstanding shares of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Our principal executive office is located at 3000 N. Sam Houston Parkway East, Administration Building, Houston, Texas 77032.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be counted by the persons we appoint to act as election inspectors for the Annual Meeting. Except as set forth below, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders. Shares for which a stockholder has elected to abstain on a matter will count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and, except as set forth below, will have the effect of a vote against the matter.

Each Director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected and any stockholder-proposed nominee has not been withdrawn before the tenth (10^th) day preceding the day we mail the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to stockholders for the Annual Meeting, the Directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of Directors. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a Director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that Director; we will not count abstentions. As a condition to being nominated by the Board for continued service as a Director, each Director nominee has signed and delivered to the Board an irrevocable letter of resignation limited to and conditioned on that Director failing to achieve a majority of the votes cast at an election where Directors are elected by majority vote. For any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority of votes cast, where Directors are elected by majority vote, his or her irrevocable letter of resignation will be deemed tendered on the date the election results are certified. Such resignation shall only be effective upon acceptance by the Board.

The election inspectors will treat broker non-vote shares, which are shares held in street name that cannot be voted by a broker on specific matters in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. In determining the outcome of any matter for which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, however, those shares will not have any effect on that matter. A broker may be entitled to vote those shares on other matters.

In accordance with our confidential voting policy, no particular stockholder’s vote will be disclosed to our officers, Directors, or employees, except:

The proxy solicitor, the election inspectors, and the tabulators of all proxies, ballots, and voting tabulations are independent and are not our employees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Committee Charters

Our Board has long maintained a formal statement of its responsibilities and corporate governance guidelines to ensure effective governance in all areas of its responsibilities. Our corporate governance guidelines, as revised in January 2013,2015, are attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement and are also available on our website atwww.halliburton.comby clicking on the tab “About Us,” and then the “Corporate Governance” link. The guidelines are reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect the dynamic and evolving processes relating to corporate governance, including the operation of the Board.

In order for our stockholders to understand how the Board conducts its affairs in all areas of its responsibility, the full text of the charters of our Audit; Compensation; Health, Safety and Environment; and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are also available on our website.

Except to the extent expressly stated otherwise, information contained on or accessible from our website or any other website is not incorporated by reference into and should not be considered part of this proxy statement.

Code of Business Conduct

Our Code of Business Conduct, which applies to all of our employees and Directors and serves as the code of ethics for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and other persons performing similar functions, is available on our website. Any waivers to our Code of Business Conduct for our Directors or executive officers can only be made by our Audit Committee. There were no waivers of the Code of Business Conduct in 2013.2015.

Related Persons Transactions Policy

Our Board has adopted a written policy governing related persons transactions as part of the Board’s commitment to good governance and independent oversight. The policy covers transactions involving any of our Directors, executive officers, nominees for Director, or greater than 5% stockholders, or any immediate family member of the foregoing, among others.

The types of transactions covered by this policy are transactions, arrangements or relationships, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness, in which (1) we or any of our subsidiaries were or will be a participant, (2) the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year, and (3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director of, or holding less than a 10% beneficial ownership interest in, another entity).

Under the policy, we generally only enter into or ratify related persons transactions when the Board determines such transactions are in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Board will consider the following factors and such other factors it deems appropriate:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STANDING COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

The Board has standing Audit; Compensation; Health, Safety and Environment; and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each of the standing committees are comprised of non-employee Directors, and in the business judgment of the Board, all of the non-employee Directors are independent, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, as well as the independence standards set forth in our corporate governance guidelines. Our corporate governance guidelines are attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement and are also available on our website atwww.halliburton.comwww.halliburton.com..

Our independence standards meet, and in some instances exceed, NYSE independence requirements. Our definition of independence and compliance with our independence standards is periodically reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In connection with its independence determination, the Board considered that during 2015, we provided services in the ordinary course of business to Sempra Energy, of which Ms. Reed is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Board concluded that the relationship was not material and did not affect the independence of Ms. Reed. There were no relevant transactions, relationships, or arrangements not disclosed in this proxy statement that were considered by the Board in making its determination as to the independence of the Directors.

Board Attendance

During 2013,2015, the Board held nine6 meetings and met in Executive Session, without management present, on five5 occasions.

Committee meetings were held as follows:

All members of the Board attended at least 93%80% of the total number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served during the last fiscal year.

All of our Directors attended the 20132015 Annual Meeting, as required by our corporate governance guidelines.

Board Leadership

Our By-lawscorporate governance guidelines provide that the Board should have the flexibility to determine the appropriate leadership of the Board, and whether the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separate. After review and discussion, our Board has decided that a combined leadership role would best serve the needs of the Company and its stockholders. The Board believes that David J. Lesar, our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, with his industry expertise, financial expertise, and in-depth knowledge of Halliburton and its business, is the correct person to fill both roles.

Lead Independent Director

In order to help ensure independent Board leadership and oversight, the Board has elected Mr. J. Landis Martin as our Lead Independent Director. Mr. Martin’s role and responsibilities are set forth in the Lead Independent Director Charter adopted by the Board and include presiding over the executive sessions of the non-employee Directors and executive sessions of the independent Directors. Mr. Martin also advises management on and approves the agenda items to be considered at meetings of the Board. With the exception of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lesar, and our President, Mr. Miller, the Board is composed of independent Directors. Our Lead Independent Director Charter can be found on our website atwww.halliburton.comwww.halliburton.com..

Independent Committees

As a governance best practice, key committees of the Board are comprised solely of independent Directors. We have established processes for the effective oversight of critical issues entrusted to independent Directors, such as:

The Board believes it has a strong governance structure in place to ensure independent oversight on behalf of all stockholders.

Board Risk Oversight

We have implemented an Enterprise Risk Management system to identify and analyze enterprise level risks and their potential impact on us. At least annually, our Vice President and Treasurer reports to the Audit Committee of the Board receives a report on our processes with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Our executive officers are assigned responsibility for the various categories of risk, with the Chief Executive Officer being ultimately responsible to the Board for all risk categories. The responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer for all risk matters is consistent with his being primarily responsible for managing our day-to-day business.

Stockholder Nominations of Directors

Stockholders may nominate persons for election to the Board at a meeting of stockholders in the manner provided in our By-laws, which include a requirement to comply with certain notice procedures. Nominations shall be made pursuant to written notice to the Vice President and Corporate Secretary at the address of our principal executive offices set forth on page 2 of this proxy statement, and for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2015,2017, must be received not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the 20142016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or no later than February 20, 201517, 2017 and no earlier than January 21, 2015.18, 2017.

The stockholder notice must contain, among other things, certain information relating to the stockholder and the proposed nominee as described in our By-laws. In addition, the proposed nominee may be required to furnish other information as we may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of the proposed nominee to serve as a Director. With respect to any proposed nominee nominated in accordance with Section 6 of our By-laws by a stockholder of record owning at least 1% of our issued and outstanding voting stock continuously for at least one year as of the date the written notice of the nomination is submitted to us, our Vice President and Corporate Secretary will (i) obtain from such nominee any additional relevant information the nominee wishes to provide in consideration of his or her nomination, (ii) report on each such nominee to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and (iii) facilitate having each such nominee meet with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as the committeeCommittee deems appropriate.

Qualifications of Directors

Candidates nominated for election or reelection to the Board should possess the following qualifications:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate mix of skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the needs of the Board at a given point in time, and shall periodically review and update the criteria. In selecting Director nominees, the Board first considers the personal characteristics, experience, and other criteria as set forth in our corporate governance guidelines. We also identify nominees based on our specific needs and the needs of our Board at the time a nominee is sought.

We value all types of diversity, including diversity of our Board. In evaluating the overall mix of qualifications for a potential nominee, the Board also takes into account overall Board diversity in personal background, race, gender, age, and nationality. In considering whether current Directors should be nominated for reelection to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board will also consider the non-employee Directors’ annual assessment of the Board and annual performance review.

Process for the Selection of New Directors

The Board is responsible for filling vacancies on the Board. The Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the duty of selecting and recommending prospective nominees to the Board for approval. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers suggestions of candidates for Board membership made by current Committee and Board members, our management, and stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate should notify our Vice President and Corporate Secretary. The Committee may retain an independent executive search firm to identify and/or assist in evaluating candidates for consideration. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate should notify our Corporate Secretary.

When the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies a prospective candidate, the Committee determines the appropriate method to evaluate the candidate. This determination is based on the information provided to the Committee by the person recommending the prospective candidate and the Committee’s knowledge of the candidate. This information may be supplemented by inquiries to the person who made the recommendation, the candidate or to others. The preliminary determination is based on the need for additional Board members to fill vacancies or to expand the size of the Board, and the likelihood that the candidate will meet the Board membership criteria listed above. The Committee will determine, after discussion with the Chairman of the Board, the Lead Independent Director, and other Board members, whether a candidate should continue to be considered as a potential nominee. If a candidate warrants additional consideration, the Committee may request an independent executive search firm to gather additional information about the candidate’s background, experience, and reputation, and to report its findings to the Committee. The Committee then evaluates the candidate and determines whether to interview the candidate. One or more members of the Committee and others as appropriate then conduct the interviews. Once the evaluation and interviews are completed, the Committee recommends to the Board which candidates should be nominated. The Board makes a determination of nominees after review of the recommendation and the Committee’s report.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The eleventwelve nominees listed below are presently our Directors. The common stock represented by properly executed and returned proxies will be voted to elect the eleventwelve nominees as Directors unless we receive contrary instructions. If any nominee is unwilling or unable to serve, favorable and uninstructed proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. If a suitable substitute is not available, the Board will reduce the number of Directors to be elected. Each nominee has indicated approval of his or her nomination and his or her willingness to serve if elected. The Directors elected will serve for the ensuing year and until their successors are elected and qualify.

Our corporate governance guidelines provide that each non-management Director shall retire from the Board immediately prior to the annual meeting of stockholders following his or her seventy-second (72^nd) birthday.

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION

Directors’ Fees

All non-employee Directors receive an annual retainer of $100,000.$115,000. The Lead Independent Director receives an additional annual retainer of $25,000 and the chairperson of each committee also receives an additional annual retainer annually for serving as chair as follows:

Audit - $20,000; Compensation - $15,000;– $20,000; Health, Safety and Environment - $15,000; and Nominating and Corporate Governance - $15,000. Non-employee Directors are permitted to defer all or part of their fees under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan described below.

Directors’ Equity Awards

Each non-employee Director receives an annual equity award with a value of approximately $160,000 on the date of the award. Prior to 2012, each non-employee Director received an annual equity award consisting of restricted shares of common stock. Beginning in 2012, each non-employee Director receives an annual equity award$185,000 consisting of restricted stock units (RSUs), each of which represents the right to receive a share of common stock at a future date. The actual number of RSUs is determined by dividing $160,000$185,000 by the average of the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on each business day during the month of July. These annual awards are made on or about the first of August of each year. The value of the award may be more or less than $160,000$185,000 based on the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the award in August. Non-employee Directors are permitted to defer all of their RSUs under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

Additionally, when a non-employee Director is first elected tojoins the Board, he or she receives an equity award shortly thereafter. Prior to May of 2012, each newly elected non-employee Director received an equity award consisting of 2,000 restricted shares of common stock. Each non-employee Director first elected to the Board after May of 2012 receives an equity awardthereafter of RSUs equal to a pro-rated value of the annual equity award of $160,000.$185,000. The factor used to determine the pro-rated award is the number of whole months of service from the beginning of the month in which the Director is electedBoard service begins to the following first of August divided by 12. The number of RSUs awarded is determined by dividing the pro-rated award amount by the average of the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on each business day during the month immediately preceding the Director’s election toDirector joining the Board.

Directors may not sell, assign, pledge, otherwise transfer, or encumber restricted shares (which were previously granted to non-employee Directors) or RSUs until the restrictions are removed. Restrictions on RSUs lapse 25% a year over four years of service with the applicable underlying shares of common stock distributed annually to the non-employee Director.Director unless the Director elected to defer receipt of their shares under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan. Except as provided in the next sentence, if a non-employee Director has a separation of service from the Board before completing four years of service since the applicable award date, any unvested RSUs would be forfeited. Restrictions on restricted shares and RSUs lapse following termination of Board service only under specified circumstances, which may include, subject to the Board’s discretion, death or disability, retirement under the Director mandatory retirement policy, or early retirement after at least four years of service.

During the restriction period, Directors have the right to (i) vote restricted shares, but not shares underlying RSUs, and (ii) receive dividends or dividend equivalents in cash on restricted shares and RSUs that are not subject to a deferral election. RSUs that are subject to a deferral election receive dividend equivalents under the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan

The Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan and participation is completely voluntary. Under the plan, non-employee Directors are permitted to defer all or part of their retainer fees and all of the shares of common stock underlying their RSUs when they vest. If a non-employee Director elects to defer retainer fees under the plan, then the Director may elect to have his or her deferred fees accumulate under an interest bearing account or translate on a quarterly basis into Halliburton common stock

equivalent units (SEUs) under a stock equivalents account. If a non-employee Director elects to defer receipt of the shares of common stock underlying his or her RSUs when they vest, then those shares are retained as deferred RSUs under the plan. The interest bearing account is credited quarterly with interest at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. The stock equivalents account and deferred RSUs are credited quarterly with dividend equivalents based on the same dividend rate as Halliburton common stock and those amounts are translated into additional SEUs or RSUs, respectively.

After a Director’s retirement, distributions under the plan are made to the Director in a single distribution or in annual installments over a 5- or 10-year period as elected by the Director. Distributions under the interest bearing account are made in cash, while distributions of SEUs under the stock equivalents account and deferred RSUs are made in shares of Halliburton common stock. Ms. Dicciani, Ms. Reed, and Messrs. Al Khayyal, Bennett, Boyd, Carroll, and CarrollJum’ah have elected to defer all or part of their retainer fees under the plan, and Ms. Dicciani, Ms. Reed, and Messrs. Al Khayyal, Bennett, Boyd, Carroll, Grubisich, Jum’ah, and Martin have elected to defer all of their RSUs under the plan. Mr. Abdallah S. Jum’ah retired from the Board on May 20, 2015.

Directors’ Stock Ownership Requirements

We have stock ownership requirements for all non-employee Directors to further align their interests with our stockholders. As a result, all non-employee Directors are required to own Halliburton common stock in an amount equal to or in excess of the greater of (A) the cash portion of the Director’s annual retainer for the five-year period beginning on the date the Director is first elected to the Board or (B) $500,000. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the holdings of all non-employee Directors, which include restricted shares, other Halliburton common stock, and RSUs owned by the Director, at each May meeting. Each non-employee Director has five years to meet the requirements, measured from the later of September 12, 2011, or the date he or she is first elected to the Board. Each non-employee Director currently meets the stock ownership requirements or is on track to do so within the requisite five-year period.

Director Clawback Policy

In January 2013, we adoptedWe have a clawback policy under which we will seek, in all appropriate cases, to recoup incentive compensation paid to, awarded to, or credited for the benefit of a Director if and to the extent that:

Depending on the circumstances described above, the disinterested members of the Board, the disinterested members of the Compensation Committee, and/or the disinterested members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may be involved in the process of reviewing, considering, and making determinations regarding the Director’s alleged conduct, whether recoupment is appropriate or required, and the type and amount of incentive compensation to be recouped from the Director.

The policy also provides that, to the extent permitted by applicable law and not previously disclosed in a filing with the SEC, we will disclose in our proxy statement the circumstances of any recoupment arising under the policy or that there has not been any recoupment pursuant to the policy for the prior calendar year. There was no recoupment under the policy in 2013.2015.

Charitable Contributions and Other Benefits

Matching Gift Programs

To further our support for charities, Directors may participate in the Halliburton Foundation’s matching gift programs for educational institutions, not-for-profit hospitals, and medical foundations. For each eligible contribution, the Halliburton Foundation makes a contribution of two2.25 times the amount contributed by the Director, subject to approval by its Trustees. The maximum aggregate of all contributions each calendar year by a Director eligible for matching is $50,000, resulting in a maximum aggregate amount contributed annually by the Halliburton Foundation in the form of matching gifts of up to $100,000$112,500 for any Director who participates in the programs. 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 employee or an immediate family member of the 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.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment

We offer an optional accidental death and dismemberment policy for non-employee Directors for individual coverage or family coverage with a benefit per Director of up to $250,000 and lesser amounts for family members. Ms. Dicciani and Messrs. Carroll, Gerber, and Malone elected individual coverage at a cost of $99 annually. Messrs. Al Khayyal, Grubisich, and Martin elected family coverage at a cost of $159 annually. These premiums are included in the All Other Compensation column of the 20132015 Director Compensation table for those who participate.

20132015 Director Compensation

Fees Earned or Paid In Cash.The amounts in this column represent retainer fees earned in fiscal year 2013,2015, but not necessarily paid in 2013.2015. Refer to the section Directors’ Fees for information on annual retainer fees.

Stock Awards.The amounts in the Stock Awards column reflect the grant date fair value of RSUs awarded in 2013. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 requires the reporting of the aggregate grant date fair value of equity awards granted to the Director during the fiscal year.2015. We calculate the fair value of equity awards by multiplying the number of RSUs granted by the closing stock price as of the award’s grant date.

The number of restricted shares, RSUs, and SEUs held at December 31, 20132015 by non-employee Directors are:

Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings.None of the Directors had a change in pension value or nonqualified deferred compensation earnings that represented above market earnings in 2013.2015.

All Other Compensation.This column includes compensation related to the matching gift programs under the Halliburton Foundation, the Accidental Death and Dismemberment program, dividends or dividend equivalents in cash on restricted shares or RSUs, and dividend equivalents associated with the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan.

Directors who participated in the matching gift programs under the Halliburton Foundation and the corresponding match provided by the Halliburton Foundation are: Mr. Bennett - $100,000;$112,500; Mr. Boyd - $47,500;$151,875; Ms. Dicciani - $100,000;$112,500; Mr. Gerber - $100,000; Dr. Gillis - $14,000;$112,500; Mr. Malone - $100,000;$112,500; Mr. Martin - $100,000;$112,500; and Ms. Reed - $50,100.$112,500. The amounts reflected indicate matching payments made by the Halliburton Foundation in 2013.2015. Because of differences between the time when the Director makes the charitable contribution and the time when the Halliburton Foundation makes the matching payment, amounts paid by the Halliburton Foundation may apply to contributions made by the Directors in both 2014 and 2015 and the amounts shown may exceed $112,500 in those instances.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF AUDITORS

 

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of the principal independent public accountants retained to audit our financial statements. The Audit Committee and Board have approved the appointment of KPMG LLP as our principal independent public accountants to examine our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014,2016, and a resolution will be presented at the Annual Meeting to ratify this appointment.

 

KPMG began serving as our principal independent public accountants for the year ended December 31, 2002. The current appointment was made based on a careful review by the Audit Committee of KPMG’s qualification to continue to serve as independent public accountants for us, including the nature and extent of non-audit services performed by KPMG and other factors required to be considered when assessing KPMG’s independence from Halliburton and its management. In order to assure continued auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a rotation of the principal independent public accountants. Further, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of the firm’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee and its Chairman are involved in the process for selecting KPMG’s new lead engagement partner. The Audit Committee and Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG to serve as our principal independent public accountants is in the best interests of Halliburton and our stockholders.

 

Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is needed to approve the proposal.

 

If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of KPMG, the Board will reconsider the selection of independent public accountants.

 

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as principal independent public accountants to examine our financial statements and books and records for the year ending December 31, 2014.2016.

During 2013, we grewWe experienced a decline in revenue and operating income during 2015, as compared to 2014, as a result of the depressed crude oil pricing environment and its corresponding negative impact on activity levels and pricing for our revenue to a new record of $29.4 billion, which increased $0.9 billion, or 3%, from 2012, mainly due to increased activityproducts and services. The industry experienced an unprecedented decline in all of our international regions and the Gulf of Mexico. We set new revenue records this year in all of our international regions and in both of our divisions. Additionally, during 2013, our revenue outside of North America comprised 48%stimulation activity during 2015, which significantly impacted our financial results. From its peak in November 2014 through December 31, 2015, the United States land rig count declined approximately 64%, which in turn has resulted in pricing pressure across the services industry.

We will continue to take further actions as required to adjust to market conditions. While the intensity and duration of the current market downturn is uncertain, we are continuing to execute on our two-pronged strategy in the downturn. The first part is to control what we can control in the short term, and the second is to look beyond the cycle and prepare for the recovery. We continue to believe in the strength of the long-term fundamentals of our business.

We have worked with the United States Department of Justice, European Commission and other competition enforcement authorities related to the acquisition to obtain approval of the transaction. In December 2015, the timing agreement with the Department of Justice expired without reaching an agreement and both companies have agreed to extend the time period for closing the transaction to no later than April 30, 2016. If review by the relevant competition authorities extends beyond April 30, 2016, the merger agreement does not terminate automatically; the parties may continue to seek relevant regulatory approvals or either of the parties may terminate the merger agreement.

Results of 20132015 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

 

In accordance with our stockholdersstockholders’ preference, we submit our executive compensation program to an advisory vote annually. In 2013,2015, our compensation program received the support of 92%72% of the total votes cast at our annual meeting. Following the annual meeting, members of our executive management team met with a number of our large stockholders and discussed their concerns about our executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee determined that based on the feedback from our stockholders and the reduced support for our say on pay in 2015 as compared to 2014, we needed to make certain changes to our executive compensation program as well as provide our stockholders a better understanding of the framework and rationale for compensation decisions. Accordingly, we are:

•	Providing a new section in Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Pay-For-Performance Analysis; and
•	Increasing the level of disclosure with regard to our target setting, metric selection rationale, and the associated payout calculation under our short- and long-term incentive plans.

We have also modified our long-term incentive mix to more heavily weight it towards performance units. Our Performance Unit Program now makes up 50% of total long-term incentives for our NEOs. The Committee believes that our compensation program closely aligns the interests of the company management with our stockholders’ interests. The positive results of the advisory vote on executive compensation held at the 2013 annual meeting reinforces this. The Committee determined, therefore, that no changes to the compensation program were necessary.

 

Halliburton’s Executive Compensation Objectives and Practices

 

Our executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following objectives:

 

•	Provide a clear and direct relationship between executive pay and our performance on both a short-term and long-term basis;
•	Emphasize operating performance drivers;
•	Link executive pay to measures that drive stockholder value;returns;
•	Support our business strategies; and
•	Maximize the return on our human resource investment.

 

These objectives serve to assure our long-term success and are built on the following compensation principles:

 

•	Executive compensation is managed from a total compensation perspective (i.e.(i.e., base salary, short- and long-term incentives, and retirement are reviewed altogether).
•	Each component of the total compensation package is analyzed in order to determine that compensation opportunities for our NEOs are competitive and market-driven.
•	All elements of compensation are compared to the total compensation packages of a comparator peer group, which includes both competitors and companies representing general industry that reflect the markets in which we compete for business and people.

Elements of our Executive Compensation Program for Fiscal 20132015

 

Halliburton’s executive compensation program is composed of base salary, short-term incentives, and long-term incentives, each of which is described below:

Executive Compensation Procedures

 

Our compensation procedures guide the actions taken by the Compensation Committee, or Committee. This ensures consistency from year to year and adherence to the responsibilities listed in the Committee’s Charter. The Committee reviews and approves total compensation annually, which includes:

 

•	Selecting and engaging an independent, external compensation consultant;
•	Identifying the comparator peer group companies;
•	Reviewing market data on benchmark positions; and
•	Reviewing performance results against operating plans and our comparator peer group.

 

These procedures are used to make the final determination of total compensation for our NEOs.

 

Our internal stock nomination process under the Halliburton Company Stock and Incentive Plan, or the Stock and Incentive Plan, ensures

HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement

that all award grant dates are prospective and not retroactive. For NEOs, the grant date is the day the Committee determines annual compensation actions, generally in December of each year. However, awards may be approved by the Committee throughout the year as they determine, such as for retention or performance purposes. Exercise prices are set at the closing stock price on the date of the approved grant.

 

Role of the CEO in Setting Compensation

 

Mr. Lesar does not provide recommendations concerning his own compensation, nor is he present when his compensation is discussed by the Committee. The Committee, with input from its independent, external compensation consultant, discusses the elements of his compensation in executive session and makes a recommendation to all of the non-employee members of the Board for discussion and final approval. At the Committee’s request, a member of our management team may attend the executive session to answer questions from the Committee.

 

Mr. Lesar does, however, assist the Committee in setting executive compensation for the other NEOs. He and the independent, external compensation consultant to the Committee are guided by our compensation principles. They also consider current business conditions.

 

The following recommendations are made to the Committee for each NEO:

 

•	Base salary adjustments, taking into account comparator peer group data, and the NEO’s individual performance and role within the company.
•	Performance measures, target goals, and award schedules for short-term incentive opportunities under our performance pay plan, with performance targets being set relative to the projected business cycle and business plan.
•	Long-term incentive awards made under the Stock and Incentive Plan, including developing and providing specific recommendations to the Committee on the aggregate number and types of shares to be awarded annually, reviewing the rationale and guidelines for annual stock awards, and recommending changes to the grant types, when appropriate.
•	Retirement awards, which are calculated by an external actuary, under the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Use of Independent Consultants and Advisors

 

The Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, or PM&P, as its independent, external compensation consultant during 2013.2015. PM&P provides only executive compensation consulting services to the Committee. In 2013, PM&P also provided industry related compensation survey dataCommittee and does not provide any other services to us, the fees for which were less than $5,000.us. The primary responsibilities of the independent, external compensation consultant were to:

 

•	Provide the Committee with independent and objective market data;
•	Conduct compensation analysis;
•	Recommend potential changes to the comparator 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 Committee throughout the year.

 

Executive Compensation Benchmarking

 

The companies comprising the comparator peer group are selected based on the following considerations:

 

•	Market capitalization;
•	Revenue and number of employees;
•	Scope in terms of global impact and reach; and
•	Industry affiliation.

 

Industry affiliation includes companies that are involved in the oil and natural gas and energy services industries. The comparator peer group is reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure relevance, with data provided to the Committee by the independent, external compensation consultant. The Committee targets between 20 and 25 companies for our comparator peer group.

Comparator Peer Group

 

The 20132015 comparator peer group was composed of specific peer companies within the energy industry as well as selected companies representing general industry. This peer group was utilized to determine market levels of total compensation for the 20132015 calendar year.

 

The comparator peer group used for our 20132015 compensation review, which remains unchangedchanged slightly from the comparator peer group used for our 20122014 compensation review,review. To modestly adjust the size of the comparator peer group for 2015 so that we were closer to the median in terms of revenue and market capitalization, the Committee removed Murphy Oil Corporation.

Our 2015 comparator peer group consisted of the following companies:

 

•	3M Company
•	Anadarko Petroleum Corporation
•	Apache Corporation
•	Baker Hughes Incorporated
•	Caterpillar Inc.
•	ConocoPhillips
•	Deere and Company
•	Devon Energy Corporation
•	Emerson Electric Co.
•	Fluor
•	Hess Corporation

A slightly different comparator peer group is utilized for the 2013 cycle Performance Unit Program and is described in theLong-term Incentives—Performance Unitssection.

Analysis of Market Data

 

The market data is size adjusted by revenue as necessary so that it is comparable with our trailing 12 month revenue. We size adjust the total compensation benchmarking data because of variances in market capitalization and revenue size among the companies comprising our comparator peer group. These adjusted values are used as the basis of comparison of compensation between our executives and those of the comparator peer group.

 

Total executive 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 50^thpercentile 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, including the Black-Scholes model used to value stock option grants.

 

The independent, external compensation consultant gathers and performs an analysis of market data for each NEO, comparing each of their individual components of compensation as well as total compensation to that of the comparator peer group. This competitive analysis consists of market data comparing each of the pay elements and total compensation at the 25^th, 50^th, and 75^thpercentiles of the comparator peer group to current compensation for each of the NEOs.

 

Pay for Performance Analysis

As part of the Compensation Committee’s review of our executive compensation program, the Committee reviews a one- and three-year pay for performance analysis against our comparator peer group. The review examines the degree of alignment between our CEO’s realizable compensation relative to the realizable compensation of CEOs in our comparator peer group and our Return on Capital Employed, or ROCE, compared to the ROCE of our comparator peer group. ROCE is calculated as follows:

ROCE	=	Net income + after-tax interest expense
		Stockholders’ equity (average of beginning and end of period) + Debt
		(average of beginning and end of period)

Total realizable compensation consisted of the following:

•	base salary paid;
•	cash incentive payouts;
•	In-the-money value of stock options grants during the one- or three-year period valued as of December 31, 2014;
•	face value of restricted stock grants during the one- or three-year period valued as of the December 31, 2014; and
•	for performance based awards, (i) target value for awards still outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and (ii) realized value for performance periods beginning and ending within the one- or three-year period.

This analysis demonstrated the following for the period ending December 31, 2014:

One-Year HAL Performance		One-Year HAL Total Realizable Compensation
ROCE:	89thpercentile	CEO:	89thpercentile
Three-Year HAL Performance		Three-Year HAL Total Realizable Compensation
ROCE:	84thpercentile	CEO:	68thpercentile

Based on the foregoing analysis, the Committee determined that our pay and performance are appropriately aligned.

The Committee selected ROCE for this analysis because we believe it is the best indicator of long-term Company performance, while reinforcing the Company’s objective for sustained long-term performance and value creation. ROCE measures Company profitability as well as the efficiency by which we deploy capital. It is also a measure that is tracked and understood by our stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that tying a part of our NEOs long-term incentive opportunity to the achievement of challenging ROCE targets will help to increase revenue and improve margins and maintain focus on cost control. We chose ROCE as a performance measure rather than total shareholder return, or TSR, due to the cyclical nature of our business and because we believe ROCE has a greater line of sight from our management team to impact our financial results.

Integration of Compensation Components, Plan Design, and Decision-Making

 

The Committee considers all elements of the executive compensation package for each NEO for the upcoming year in December. The Committee receives historical and prospective breakdowns of the total compensation components for each NEO as follows:

 

•	Individual two-year total compensation history, which includes base salary, short- and long-term incentives, and other benefits and perquisites;perquisites and for the CEO, the Committee reviews the pay-for-performance analysis described above;
•	Total company-awarded stock position, including vested and unvested awards;
•	Detailed supplemental retirement award calculations; and
•	The market analysis prepared by the independent, external compensation consultant.

 

HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement

Back to Contents

The Committee also reviews our pay versus performance as well as the results of the advisory vote on executive compensation held at the prior year’s annual meeting and considers those results, along with many other factors, when evaluating our executive compensation program. Because 92% of our stockholders voting at our Annual Meeting approved the compensation paid to our executives as described in the 2013 proxy statement, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, and because the Committee believes that our compensation program aligns our executive compensation structure with our stockholders’ interests and current market practices, the Committee did not implement any changes to our executive compensation program for 2014.results.

 

In making compensation decisions, each of the following compensation elements is reviewed separately and collectively:

 

•	Base salary;
•	Short-term (annual) incentives;
•	Long-term incentives; and
•	Supplemental executive retirement benefits.

 

Of these elements, all but base salary are variable and at risk of forfeiture. The Committee uses base salary as the primary reference point for determining the target value and actual value of each of the above elements of compensation, individually and in the aggregate, for each NEO. This assists the Committee in confirming that our compensation package for NEOs is appropriate and competitive to our comparator peer group.

 

The Committee then considers the following when making final compensation determinations:

 

•	How compensation elements serve to appropriately motivate and reward each NEO;
•	Competitively positioning each NEO’s total compensation to retain their services;
•	Individual NEO performance in reaching financial and operational objectives;
•	Sustained levels of performance, future potential, time in position, and years of service; and
•	Other factors including operational or functional goals as the Committee determines are appropriate.

 

These factors are considered on an unweighted basis in making final pay decisions and to ensure internal equity among positions having similar scope and responsibility.

 

After considering these factors, the Committee then sets the final compensation opportunity for each NEO so that their actual total compensation is consistent with our executive compensation philosophy of paying at the 50^thpercentile or higher for those years of superior performance and paying below the 50^thpercentile when performance does not meet competitive standards.

 

The procedures used to set compensation for each of the NEOs are the same. Variations do exist in the amounts of compensation among the NEOs as a result of each NEO’s position and corresponding scope of responsibility, individual performance, length of time in the role, and differences in the competitive market pay levels for their positions.

 

Generally, in years when we achieve financial results substantially above or below expectations, actual compensation may fall outside the initial targets established by the Committee.

 

Determination of CEO and NEO Target Total Compensation

 

When determining target total compensation for Mr. Lesar, the Committee takes into consideration competitive market pay levels for the CEOs in the comparator peer group. They also consider Mr. Lesar’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, Mr. Lesar and the members of the Board agree upon a set of objectives addressing the following areas specified in our corporate governance guidelines:

•	Performance of the business;
•	Development and implementation of initiatives to provide long-term economic benefit to Halliburton;
•	Accomplishment of strategic objectives; and
•	Development of management.

 

The Board determined that Mr. Lesar met these objectives in 20132015 through the following achievements:

 

•	Halliburton and its business units maintained superior relative performance against major competitors in terms of revenue marginsgrowth and Return on Capital Employed for the 5 year period ending December 31, 2015 (performance of the business);

Other NEO compensation is determined similar to that of the CEO by evaluating each NEO’s performance and considering the market competitive pay levels of the comparator peer group for the NEO’s position.

 

Base Salary

 

The Committee generally targets base salaries at the median of the comparator peer group; however, the 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; however, individual salaries are not necessarily adjusted each year.

 

As a result of increases in base salary in our comparator peer group and, in the case of Mr. Miller, to recognize his September 2012 promotion to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, theThe Committee approved the following base salary increases for 2013:salaries effective January 1, 2015:

 

		2012				2013								2014				2015
NEO		Salary				Salary				% Increase				Salary				Salary				% Increase

Mr. Rainey		$	550,000			$	788,000				43.3	%		$	788,000			$	835,000				6.0%

(1)	The salary increase was in recognition of Mr. Garcia’s promotion to Senior Vice President of Finance, and Acting Chief Financial Officer.
(2)	Mr. Miller did not receive a salary increase on January 1, 2015 as his salary was determined to be aligned with the market.

 

As a result ofIn an effort to help manage fixed costs during the changes shown above,downturn, all our NEOs averaged slightlytook a voluntary reduction in base salary on April 1, 2015. Mr. Lesar took a 6.9% reduction in his base salary and all other NEO’s took a 3% reduction.

Short-TermShort-term (Annual) Incentives

 

The Committee established the Annual Performance Pay Plan to:

 

•	Reward executives and other key members of management for improving financial results that drive the creation of economic value for our stockholders; and
•	Provide a means to connect individual cash compensation directly to our performance.

 

The Annual Performance Pay Plan provides for performance awards in accordance with the terms of the Stock and Incentive Plan.

 

The Annual Performance Pay Plan provides an incentive to our NEOs to achieve the business objective of generating more earnings than normally expected by the investors who have provided us with capital to grow our business. We measure achievement of this objective using Cash Value Added, or CVA.

 

CVA is a financial measurement that demonstrates the amount of economic value added to our business. The formula for calculating CVA is as follows:

 

Operating Income

Operating Income
	+ Interest Income
	+ Foreign Currency Gains (Losses)
	+ Other Nonoperating Income (Expense), Net
=	Net Operating Profit
	– Income Taxes
=	Net Operating Profit After Taxes
Net Invested Capital
x Weighted Average Cost of Capital
=	Capital Charge
Cash Value Added (CVA) = Net Operating Profit After Taxes - Capital Charge

Cash Value Added (CVA) = Net Operating Profit After Taxes - Capital Charge

 

Net Operating Profit After Taxes equals the sum of operating income plus interest income plus foreign currency gains (losses) plus other nonoperating income (expense), reduced by our income taxes. When determining actual CVA performance, we apply our effective income tax rate.

 

HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement

Back to Contents

Capital Charge equals total assets (excluding deferred income tax assets) less total liabilities (excluding debt and deferred income tax liabilities) multiplied by a weighted average cost of capital percentage.

 

Cash Value Added is computed monthly and accumulated throughout the calendar year. Adjustments in the calculation of the CVA payout may, at times, be approved by the Committee and can include the treatment of unusual items that may have impacted our actual results.

 

At the beginning of each plan year, the Committee approves an incentive award schedule that equates given levels of CVA performance with varying reward opportunities paid in cash. The performance goals range from “Threshold” to “Target” to “Maximum.” Threshold reflects the minimum CVA performance level which must be achieved in order for awards to be earned and Maximum reflects the maximum level that can be earned.

 

These goals are based on our annual operating plan, as reviewed and approved by our Board, and are set at levels believed to be sufficient to meet or exceed stockholder expectations of our performance, as well as expectations of the relative performance to our competitors.

Given the cyclical nature of our business, our performance goals vary from year to year, which can similarly impact the difficulty in achieving these goals.

 

The Committee set the 20132015 performance goals for our NEOs based on company-wide consolidated CVA results, specifying when these goals were set that the impact of any Macondo well incident related charges would be excluded from the CVA calculation.results. Threshold CVA was based on 89%90% of planned operating income, Target CVA on 100% of planned operating income, and Maximum CVA on 111%110% of planned operating income.

The Committee set the 2015 performance levels for our NEOs based on the company-wide consolidated CVA targetsresults:

Because the 2015 CVA actual results were below Threshold, our NEOs did not receive a CVA payout.

The Compensation Committee has selected CVA as the sole measure upon which to base our short-term incentive program because it is a key measure on which we set our performance expectations for 2013 were $185 million at Threshold, $494 million at Target,the year and $802 million at Maximum. Actualwe believe that CVA is a proven driver of value creation for 2013 was $630 million.stockholders of the Company.

The Compensation Committee considers other business performance factors, including health, safety, and environment and service quality, in determining the final payout amounts under the Annual Performance Pay Plan.

 

Individual incentive award opportunities are established as a percentage of base salary at the beginning of the plan year. The maximum amount a NEO can receive is limited to two times the target opportunity level. The level of achievement of annual CVA performance determines the dollar amount of incentive compensation payable to participants following completion of the plan year.

Threshold, Target, and Maximum opportunity dollar amounts can be found in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 20132015 table.

 

Over the past ten years, the Annual Performance Pay Plan achieved Maximum performance levels sixfive times, achieved Target performance level two times, and fell short of the Threshold performance level twothree times.

 

Long-TermLong-term Incentives

 

The Committee established the Stock and Incentive Plan to achieve the following objectives:

 

•	Reward consistent achievement of value creation and operating performance goals;
•	Align management with stockholder interests; and
•	Encourage long-term perspectives and commitment.

 

Our Stock and Incentive Plan provides for a variety of cash and stock-based awards, including nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock and units, performance shares and units, stock appreciation rights, and stock value equivalents. Under the Stock and Incentive Plan, the Committee may, at its discretion, select from among these types of awards to establish individual long-term incentive awards.

 

Long-term incentives represent the largest component of total executive compensation opportunity. We believe this at-risk based compensation ties executive pay closely to stockholders’ interests.

 

For 2013,2015, we used a combination of long-term incentive vehicles, including time-based restricted stock or restricted stock units, performance units, and nonqualified stock options. Except where there is a distinction to make between restricted stock and restricted stock units, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis refers to both restricted stock and restricted stock units as “restricted stock”. Operations-basedIn response to stockholder feedback, we modified our long-term incentive mix from 40% performance units, 40% restricted stock, and 20% stock options to weight it more heavily towards performance units. In 2015, our operations-based incentives in the form of performance units were targeted 40%to 50% of the long-term incentive value, another 40%35% was delivered through restricted stock, and the remaining 20%15% was delivered in stock options.

 

Using a mix of incentives 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 maintaining an incentive to meet performance goals. Value to be earned by a NEO from stock options and restricted stock are directly tied to our stock price performance and, therefore, directly to stockholder value. Additionally, restricted stock provides a significant retention incentive

while the 2013 cycle Performance Unit Program motivates the NEOs to also focus on improving long-term returns on capital employed, measured on both absolute and relative bases. Because of the pending acquisition of Baker Hughes Incorporated, the Committee decided to modify the Performance Unit Program for the 2015 cycle, as described in the 2015 Cycle Performance Unit Program Opportunities for NEOs section below.

 

In determining the size of long-term incentive awards, the Committee first considers market data for comparable positions and then may adjust the awards upwards or downwards based on the Committee’s review of internal equity. This can result in positions of similar magnitude and pay receiving awards of varying size. The 20132015 restricted stock and stock option awards for each NEO were based primarily on market data and were targeted atto the 75^thpercentile of our comparator peer group to recognize our NEOs for delivering strong performance in 2013.market median.

 

Restricted Stock and Stock Options

 

Our restricted stock and stock option awards are granted under the Stock and Incentive Plan and are listed in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 20132015 table.

 

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 Committee. Shares of restricted stock receive dividend or dividend equivalent payments.

 

Stock option awards vest over a three-year graded vesting period with 33 ⅓% ^1/3%of the grant vesting each year. All options are priced at the closing stock price on the date the grant is approved by the Committee.

 

The stock and option award columns in the Summary Compensation Table reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the restricted stock and option awards for each NEO.

2013 Cycle Performance UnitsUnit Program Payout for NEOs

 

The 2013 cycle Performance Unit Program provides NEOs and other selected executives with incentive opportunities based on our consolidated Return on Capital Employed, or ROCE, during a three-year performance periods.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 both an absolute and a relative basis to the results of our comparator peer group companies used for the Performance Unit Program. The three-year performance period aligns this measurement with our and our comparator 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 calculationformula for ROCE is as follows:set forth in the Pay for Performance Analysis section.

ROCE	=	Net income + after-tax interest expense
		Stockholders’ equity (average of beginning and end of period) + Debt
		(average of beginning and end of period)

 

The comparator peer group used for the Performance Unit Program is comprised of oilfield equipment and service companies and domestic and international exploration and production companies. This comparator peer group is used for the Performance Unit Program because these companies represent the timing, cyclicality, and volatility of the oil and natural gas industry and provide an appropriate industry group to measure our relative performance against.

The This comparator peer group as disclosed in our 2014 proxy statement was used for the 2013 cycle of the Performance Unit Program.

The 2013 cycle of the Performance Unit Program ended on December 31, 2015. Both the absolute and relative performance measures established at the beginning of the cycle were approved by the Committee. The Committee decided to exclude any Baker Hughes acquisition and integration related expenses from the calculation because the transaction and the associated costs were not anticipated when the targets were initially set in February 2013. The 2013 cycle of the Performance Unit Program yielded an award paid at 125% of the target opportunity level as shown in the table below.

2013 Cycle - Performance Matrix

HAL 3-Year Average ROCE		% of Target Incentive Paid
Above 13%			75%				100%				150%				200%
11% to 13%			50%				75%				125%				150%

			Percentile				Percentile				Percentile

While we achieved average ROCE of 9.09% for the three-year period ending December 31, 2015, which was top quartile performance relative to our performance peers, the ROCE performance as measured on an absolute basis was below the target level of 11%.

The NEOs received these payments in 2016 as set forth in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table and in the related narrative following the table.

The program allows for rewards to be paid in cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. Over the past ten years, the program has achieved maximum performance levels six times and between maximum and target four times.

2015 Cycle Performance Unit Program Opportunities for NEOs

In anticipation of the pending Baker Hughes acquisition, the Committee modified the 2015 cycle of the Performance Unit Program and replaced the 50% relative and 50% absolute ROCE measures with quantitative Baker Hughes integration related metrics. This was done in order to keep management’s focus on the integration prior to, during, and post acquisition. In revising the 2015 cycle Performance Unit Program, the Committee used two equally weighted performance metrics based on: (i) the cumulative integration cost synergies realized through December 31, 2017, and (ii) a target for the combined company’s effective tax rate as of December 31, 2017. The Committee provisionally determined that if we did not acquire Baker Hughes, the 2015 cycle of the Performance Unit Program would be based on 100% relative ROCE measures with relative performance measured for the three-year period ending December 31, 2017 against the following Performance Unit Program peer group which remains unchanged from the comparator peer group used for the 2012 cycle2014 Performance Unit Program and consists of the following companies:peer group:

2011 Cycle Performance Unit Program Payout for NEOs

The 2011 cycle of the Performance Unit Program ended on December 31, 2013. Both the absolute and relative performance measures established at the beginning of the cycle were approved by the Committee. The 2011 cycle required a three-year average ROCE above 13% to achieve the Maximum level on an absolute basis, and a three-year average ROCE above the 75^thpercentile of the ROCE for our comparator peer group to achieve the Maximum level on a relative basis. The three-year average ROCE for our comparator peer group at the 75^thpercentile was 10.01%. Our three-year average ROCE for the 2011 cycle was 15.25%. Because our results for this cycle were in excess of the Maximum levels on both an absolute basis and relative to our comparator peer group, the NEOs received payments in 2014 as set forth in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table and in the related narrative following the table.

2013 Cycle Performance Unit Program Opportunities for NEOstheir competitive nature, we do not disclose prospective metric targets.

 

Individual incentive opportunities are established based on market references and the NEO’s role within the organization. The Threshold, Target, and Maximum columns under the heading Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 20132015 table indicate the potential payout for each NEO under the Performance Unit Program for the 20132015 cycle. The potential payouts are performance driven and completely at risk. Actual payout amounts, if any, will not be determined until the three yearthree-year cycle closes on December 31, 2015.2017.

 

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 

The objective of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP, is to provide a competitive level of pay replacement upon retirement. The current pay replacement target is 75% of final base salary at age 65 with 25 years of service.

 

The material factors and guidelines considered in making an allocation include:

 

•	Retirement benefits provided, both qualified and nonqualified;
•	Current compensation;
•	Length of service; and
•	Years of service to normal retirement.

 

The calculation takes into account the following variables:

 

•	Base salary;
•	Years of service;
•	Age;
•	Employer portion of qualified plan savings;
•	Age 65 value of any defined benefit plan; and
•	Existing nonqualified plan balances and any other retirement plans.

 

Several assumptions are made annually and include a base salary increase percentage, qualified and nonqualified plan contributions and investment earnings, and an annuity rate. These factors are reviewed and approved annually by the Committee in advance of calculating any awards.

 

To determine the annual benefit, external actuaries calculate the total lump sum retirement benefit needed at age 65 from all company retirement sources to produce an annual retirement benefit of 75% of final base salary. Company retirement sources include any qualified benefit plans and contributions to nonqualified benefit plans. If the combination of these two sources does not yield a total retirementbalance that will meet the 75% objective, then contributions may be made annually through the SERP to bring the total benefit up to the targeted level.

 

To illustrate, assume $10 million is needed at age 65 to produce an annual retirement benefit equal to 75% of final base salary. The participant is projected to have $3 million in his qualified benefit plans at retirement and $4 million in his nonqualified retirement plans at retirement. Since the total of these two sources is $7 million, a shortfall of $3 million results. This is the amount needed to achieve the 75% pay replacement objective. Such shortfall may be offset through annual contributions to the SERP.

 

Participation in the SERP is limited to the direct reports of the CEO and other selected executives as recommended by the CEO and approved at the discretion of the Committee. However, participation one year does not guarantee future participation. In 2013,2015, the Committee authorized retirement allocations under the SERP to all NEOs as listed in the 20132015 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table and as included in the All Other Compensation column in the Summary Compensation Table. The average annual amounts allocated over the history of participation are as follows: Mr. Lesar: $303,600;$353,682; Mr. McCollum: $154,455;Garcia: $221,000; Mr. Brown: $419,333;$521,875; Mr. Miller: $334,000;$474,250; and Mr. Rainey: $343,750.$436,500.

 

Messrs. Lesar, Brown, and RaineyAll of the NEOs are fully vested in their respective account balances. Balances earn interest at an annual rate of 5%. In 2009, the Committee approved a change to the vesting schedule of the SERP for awards made in 2009 and in future years. The new vesting schedule requires participants to be at least 55 years of age with 10 years of service with us or meet the Rule of 70 (age plus years of service equal 70 or more). This change was made to increase the retentive value of the plan. Messrs. McCollum and Miller do not meet the vesting requirements for awards made in 2009 and subsequent years.

Elective Deferral Plan

 

All NEOs may participate in the Halliburton Elective Deferral Plan, which was established to provide highly compensated employees with an opportunity to defer earned base salary and incentive compensation in order to help meet retirement and other future income needs.

 

The Elective Deferral Plan is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan and participation is completely voluntary. Pre-tax deferrals of up to 75% of base salary and/or eligible incentive compensation are allowed each calendar year. Gains or losses are credited based upon the participant’s election from among 12 benchmark investment choices with varying degrees of risk.

 

In 2013, none of our NEOs2015, Messrs. Lesar and Rainey participated in this plan. Messrs. Lesar,plan by deferring a percentage of their compensation.

Further details can be found in the 20132015 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.

 

Benefit Restoration Plan

 

The Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan provides a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits which are reduced as a result of limitations imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or due to participation in other plans we sponsor. It also serves to defer compensation that would otherwise be treated as excessive employee remuneration within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

In 2013,2015, all NEOs received awards under this plan in the amounts included in the Supplemental Table: All Other Compensation and the 20132015 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.

 

Perquisites

 

Country club memberships are limited and provided on an as-needed basis for business purposes only. Messrs.Mr. Brown and Rainey had a club membershipsmembership in 2013.2015.

 

We do not provide cars to our NEOs. However, for security purposes and to allow for the efficient use of Mr. Lesar’s time, a company-leased car and part-time driver are provided for Mr. Lesar for the primary purpose of commuting to and from work.

 

A taxable benefit for executive financial planning is provided with the amount dependent on the NEO’s level within the company. This benefit does not include tax return preparation. It is paid, only if used, on a reimbursable basis.

 

We also provided for security at the personal residences of Messrs. Lesar, McCollum,Garcia, and Miller during 2013.2015.

 

At the direction of the Board, Mr. Lesar, his spouse, and children use company aircraft for all travel. The only personal use of the company aircraft in 20132015 for other NEOs is for spousal and dependent travel on select business trips.

 

Mr. Rainey is an expatriate under our long-term expatriate business practice and as such receives certain assignment allowances including a goods and services differential and host country housing and utilities.

 

A differential is commonly paid to expatriates in assignment locations where the cost of goods and services is greater than the cost for the same goods and services in the expatriate’s home country. Differentials are determined by Mercer/ORC, Worldwide, a third-party consultant. As part of his expatriate assignment, Mr. Rainey also participates in our tax equalization program, which neutralizes the tax effect of the international assignment and approximates the tax obligation the expatriate would pay in his home country.

 

Specific amounts for the above mentioned perquisites are detailed for each NEO in the Supplemental Table: All Other Compensation immediately following the Summary Compensation Table.Compensation.

 

Clawback Policy

 

We have a clawback policy under which we will seek to recoup incentive compensation in all appropriate cases paid to, awarded to, or credited for the benefit of any of our executive officers, which include all the NEOs, if and to the extent that:

 

•	The amount of incentive compensation was calculated based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently reduced due to a restatement of our financial results;
•	The officer engaged in fraudulent conduct that caused the need for the restatement; and
•	The amount of incentive compensation that would have been awarded or paid to the officer, had our financial results been properly reported, would have been lower than the amount actually paid or awarded.

 

Any such officer who receives incentive compensation based on the achievement of financial results that are subsequently the subject of a restatement will not be subject to recoupment unless the officer personally participates in the fraudulent conduct.

 

In addition, in January 2013, we amended the policy to provide that we will seek to recoup incentive compensation in all appropriate cases paid to, awarded to, or credited for the benefit of any of our executive officers, which include all the NEOs, and certain other senior officers if and to the extent that:

 

•

It is determined that, in connection with the performance of that officer’s duties, he or she substantially participated in a breach of that officer’s duties, he or she substantially participated in a breach of HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement 33 Back to Contents a fiduciary duty arising from a material violation of a U.S. federal or state law, or both (A) had direct supervisory responsibility over an employee who substantially participated in such a violation and (B) recklessly disregarded his or her own supervisory responsibilities; or     • the officer is named as a defendant in a law enforcement proceeding for having substantially participated in a breach of a fiduciary duty arising from a material violation of a U.S. federal or state law, the officer disagrees with the allegations relating to the proceeding and either (A) we initiate a review and determine that the alleged action is not indemnifiable or (B) the officer does not prevail at trial, enters into a plea arrangement, agrees to the entry of a final administrative or judicial order imposing sanctions, or otherwise admits to the violation in a legal proceeding.   Depending on the officer and the circumstances described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the disinterested members of the Board, the disinterested members of the Compensation Committee, the disinterested members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and/or the members of a management committee may be HALLIBURTON - 2016 Proxy Statement 35 Back to Contents involved in the process of reviewing, considering and making determinations regarding the officer’s alleged conduct, whether recoupment is appropriate or required, and the type and amount of incentive compensation to be recouped from the officer.   The policy also provides that, to the extent permitted by applicable law and not previously disclosed in a filing with the SEC, we will disclose in our proxy statement the circumstances of any recoupment arising under the policy or that there has not been any recoupment pursuant to the policy for the prior calendar year. There was no recoupment under the policy in 2013.2015.   Stock Ownership Requirements   We have stock ownership requirements for our executive officers, which include all the NEOs, to further align their interests with our stockholders.   As a result, Mr. Lesar is required to own Halliburton common stock in an amount equal to or in excess of six times his annual base salary. Executive officers that report directly to Mr. Lesar are required to own an amount of Halliburton common stock equal to or in excess of three times their annual base salary, and all other executive officers are required to own an amount of Halliburton common stock equal to or in excess of two times their annual base salary. The Committee reviews their holdings, which include restricted shares and all other Halliburton common stock owned by the officer, at each December meeting. Each executive officer has five years to meet the requirements, measured from the later of September 12, 2011 or the date the officer first becomes subject to the ownership level for the applicable office.   After the five-year stock ownership period, as described above, executive officers who have not met their minimum ownership requirement must retain 100% of the net shares acquired upon stock option exercises and restricted stock vesting until they achieve their required ownership level. During this time period, any stock option exercises must be an exercise and hold. As of December 31, 2013,2015, all NEOs met the requirements.   Hedging and Pledging Our executive officers are prohibited from hedging activities related to Halliburton securities and the pledging of Halliburton securities, except that hedging activities in connection with or related to a bona fide charitable donation may be approved in advance at the sole discretion of the General Counsel. Elements of Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits   Termination events that trigger payments and benefits include normal or early retirement, change-in-control, cause, death, disability, and voluntary termination.

The Post-Termination or Change-In ControlChange-In-Control Payment table in this proxy statement indicates the impact of various termination events on each element of compensation for the NEOs.   Impact of Regulatory Requirements on Compensation   Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation paid to the CEO or any of the four other most highly compensated officers to the extent the compensation exceeds $1 million in any year. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to this limit if certain requirements are met.   Our policy is to utilize available tax deductions whenever appropriate and consistent with our compensation philosophy. When designing and implementing executive compensation programs, we consider all relevant factors, including tax deductibility of compensation. Accordingly, we have attempted to preserve the federal tax deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million a year to the extent doing so is consistent with our executive compensation objectives; however, we may from time to time pay compensation to our executives that may not be fully deductible.   Our Stock and Incentive Plan enables qualification of stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance share awards as well as short- and long-term cash performance plans under Section 162(m).   To the extent required by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will make retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to the CEO and CFO where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of restatement. When and where applicable, we will seek to recover any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by the CEO and CFO.   HALLIBURTON-2014 2016 Proxy Statement      3436 Back to Contents COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT   We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with Company management and, based on such review and discussions, we recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.   THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE James R.

Information related to salary increases in 20132015 is discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis under Base Salary.   Stock Awards.The amounts in the Stock Awards column reflect the grant date fair value of the restricted stock awarded in 2013.2015. 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.” ASC 718 requires the reporting of the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards granted to the NEO during the fiscal year. We calculate the fair value of restricted stock awards by multiplying the number of restricted shares or units granted by the closing stock price as of the award’s grant date.   Option AwardsAwards..The amounts in the Option Awards column reflect the grant date fair value of the stock options awarded in 2013. ASC 718 requires the reporting of the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted to the NEO during the fiscal year.2015. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

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 Long-Term 120% AFR rate as of December 31, 2013.2015. The 120% AFR rate used for determining above-market earnings in 20132015 was 3.99%3.13%.   Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Above-Market Earnings.The current interest rate for participant accounts in the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is 5% as defined by the plan document. The above-market earnings for the plan equaled 1.01%1.87% (5% (plan interest) minus 3.99%3.13% (120% AFR rate)) for 2013.2015. The amounts shown in this column differ from the amounts shown for the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan in the 20132015 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.   NEOs earned above-market earnings for their balances associated with the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan as follows: $78,988$183,534 for Mr. Lesar; $17,100$7,210 for Mr. McCollum; $20,898Garcia; $66,888 for Mr. Brown; $2,330$24,068 for Mr. Miller; and $8,564$38,374 for Mr. Rainey.   Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan Above-Market Earnings. In accordance with the plan document, participants earn monthly interest at the 120% AFR rate, provided the interest rate shall be no less than 6% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Because the 120% AFR rate was below the 6% minimum interest threshold, the above-market earnings associated with this plan were 2.01%2.87% (6% (plan interest earned in 2013)2015) minus 3.99%3.13% (120% AFR rate)) for 2013.2015. The amounts shown in this column differ from the amounts shown for the Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan in the 20132015 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.   NEOs earned above-market earnings for their balances associated with the Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan as follows: $51,625$93,928 for Mr. Lesar; $5,266$1,279 for Mr. McCollum; $4,478Garcia; $11,506 for Mr. Brown; $1,076$6,547 for Mr. Miller; and $2,412$8,104 for Mr. Rainey.   Halliburton Company Elective Deferral Plan Above-Market Earnings.The average earnings for the balances associated with the Halliburton Company Elective Deferral Plan were 8.4%3.4% for 2013.2015.

This program measures our consolidated Return on Capital Employed as compared to our internal goals as well as relative to our comparator peer group utilized for the program during three-year cycles. The potential payouts are performance driven and completely at risk. For more information on the 20132015 cycle Performance Unit Program, refer to Long-term Incentives in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.   As indicated by footnote (2), the opportunities for each NEO under the 20132015 Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Plan are also reflected under Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards. This plan measures company Cash Value Added as compared to our pre-established goals during a one-year period. The potential payouts are performance driven and completely at risk. For more information on the 20132015 Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Program, refer to Short-term (Annual) Incentives in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.   All restricted stock and nonqualified stock option awards are granted under the Stock and Incentive Plan. The awards listed under All Other Stock Awards: Number of Shares of Stock or Units and under All Other Option Awards: Number of Securities Underlying Options were awarded to each NEO on the date indicated by the Compensation Committee. The annual restricted stock grants awarded to the NEOs in 20132015 are subject to a graded vesting schedule of 20% per year over five years. This vesting schedule serves to motivate our NEOs to remain employed with us. All restricted shares are priced at fair market value on the date of grant. Quarterly dividends are paid on the restricted shares at the same time and rate payable on our common stock, which was $0.125$0.18 per share during the first three quarters of 2013 and $0.15 per share in the fourth quarter of 2013.2015. Quarterly dividends are not paid on restricted stock units. The shares may not be sold, transferred or used as collateral until fully vested. The shares remain subject to forfeiture during the restricted period in the event of a NEO’s termination of employment or an unapproved early retirement.   Nonqualified stock options granted in 20132015 vest over a three-year graded vesting period with 331/3%of the grants vesting each year. All options are priced at the fair market value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. There are no voting or dividend rights unless the NEO exercises the options and acquires the shares.   The Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards columns have been omitted because awards under the Performance Unit Program and Halliburton Annual Performance Pay Plan are expected to be paid in cash and are disclosed under Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards.   HALLIBURTON -20142016 Proxy Statement      3941 Back to Contents OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR END 20132015   The following table represents outstanding stock option and restricted stock awards for our NEOs as of December 31, 2013.2015.         Option Awards   Stock Awards         Number of   Number of                         Securities   Securities             Number of             Underlying   Underlying             Shares   Market Value         Unexercised   Unexercised   Option         or Units   of Shares         Options   Options   Exercise   Option     of Stock   or Units of Stock         Option Awards   Stock Awards           (#)   (#)   Price   Expiration     Not Vested   Not Vested Name     Grant Date   Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options (#) Exercisable   Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options (#) Unexercisable   Option Exercise Price ($)   Option Expiration Date   Number of Shares or Units of Stock Not Vested (#)   Market Value of Shares or Units of Stock Not Vested ($)     Grant Date     Exercisable   Unexercisable   ($)   Date     (#)   ($) David J.

The current pay replacement target is 75% of final base salary at age 65 with 25 years of service. Several assumptions are made annually and include a base salary increase percentage, qualified and nonqualified plan contributions, qualified and nonqualified plan investment earnings, and an annuity rate.   Allocations under the SERP can be made once a year and are approved by the Compensation Committee at their discretion. The material factors and guidelines considered in making an allocation include:   • Retirement benefits provided from our other programs, both qualified and nonqualified;     • Current compensation;     • Length of service; and     • Years of service to normal retirement.   Messrs. Lesar, Brown, and RaineyAll of the NEOs are fully vested in their respective account balances. Balances earn interest at an annual rate of 5%. In 2009, the Compensation Committee approved a change to the vesting schedule of the SERP for awards made in 2009 and in future years. The new vesting schedule requires participants to be at least 55 years of age with 10 years of service with us or meet the Rule of 70 (age plus years of service equal 70 or more). This change was made to increase the retentive value of the plan. Messrs. McCollum and Miller do not meet the vesting requirements for awards made in 2009 and subsequent years.   SERP amounts shown in the Registrant Contributions in Last Fiscal Year column are included in the Summary Compensation Table under All Other Compensation.   Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan.The Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan provides a vehicle to restore qualified plan benefits which are reduced as a result of limitations on contributions imposed under the Internal Revenue Code or due to participation in other plans we sponsor and to defer compensation that would otherwise be treated as excessive remuneration within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Awards are made annually to those who meet these criteria and earned interest at an annual rate as defined by the plan document. Awards and corresponding interest balances are 100% vested and distributed upon separation.   In accordance with the plan document, participants earn monthly interest at the 120% AFR rate, provided the interest rate shall be no less than 6% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Because the 120% AFR rate was below the 6% minimum interest threshold, plan participants earned interest at an annual rate of 6% in 2013.2015.   HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement 42 Back to Contents Benefit Restoration amounts shown in the Registrant Contributions in Last Fiscal Year column are included in the Summary Compensation Table under All Other Compensation.   Halliburton Company Elective Deferral Plan.The Halliburton Company Elective Deferral Plan allows participants to save for retirement utilizing eligible pre-tax base and/or eligible incentive compensation. HALLIBURTON - 2016 Proxy Statement 44 Back to Contents Participants may elect to defer up to 75% of their annual base salary and up to 75% of their incentive compensation into the plan. Deferral elections must be made on an annual basis, including the type and timing of distribution. Plan earnings are based on the NEO’s choice of up to 12 investment options with varying degrees of risk, including the risk of loss. Investment options may be changed by the NEO daily. The amounts shown in the Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year column reflect the aggregate of all gains and losses on outstanding balances in 2013.2015.

In the event we terminate Mr. Lesar for any reason other than termination for cause, we are obligated to pay Mr. Lesar a severance payment equal to (i) the value of any restricted shares that are forfeited because of termination, and (ii) five times his annual base salary.   Under the terms of the agreements with Messrs. McCollum,Garcia, Brown, Miller, and Rainey, the reasons for termination of employment (other than death) are defined as follows:   (i) Retirement means either (a) retirement at or after normal retirement at age 65 (either voluntarily or under our retirement policy), or (b) voluntary termination of employment in accordance with our early retirement policy for other than a Good Reason. “Good Reason” means a termination of employment by employee because of (a) our material breach of any material provision of the employment agreement, or (b) a material reduction in employee’s rank or responsibility with us, provided that (i) employee provides written notice to us of the circumstances employee claims constitute “Good Reason” within 90 calendar days of the first to occur of such circumstances, (ii) such breach remains uncorrected for 30 calendar days following written notice, and (iii) employee’s termination occurs within 180 calendar days after the date that the circumstances employee claims constitute Good Reason first occurred.     (ii) Permanent disability means the employee’s physical or mental incapacity to perform his or her usual duties with such condition likely to remain continuously and permanently as reasonably determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith.     (iii) Voluntary termination means a termination of employment in the sole discretion and at the election of the employee for other than Good Reason.     (iv) Termination for cause means our termination of employee’s employment for Cause. “Cause” means any of the following: (a) employee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the duties and services required of the employee; (b) employee’s final conviction of a felony; (c) a material violation of our Code of Business Conduct; or (d) employee’s material breach of any material provision of his or her employment agreement which remains uncorrected for 30 days following our written notice of such breach to employee.   If the employment of Messrs. McCollumMr. Garcia terminates for any reason other than death, retirement (either at age 65 or voluntarily prior to age 65), permanent disability, voluntary termination, or termination for cause, he is entitled to each of the following: • A payment equal to one year’s base salary; and • A single lump sum cash payment equal to the value of any restricted shares that are forfeited because of termination. The payout is contingent upon compliance with a non-compete agreement and subject to vesting restrictions.

Some of our compensation plans, however, contain change-in-control provisions, which could result in payment of specific benefits.   HALLIBURTON - 2016 Proxy Statement 45 Back to Contents Under the Stock and Incentive Plan, in the event of a change-in-control, the following will occur automatically:   • any outstanding options and stock appreciation rights shall become immediately vested and fully exercisable;     • any restrictions on restricted stock awards shall immediately lapse;     • all performance measures upon which an outstanding performance award is contingent are deemed achieved and the holder receives a payment equal to the maximum amount of the award he or she would have been entitled to receive, pro-rated to the effective date; and     • any outstanding cash awards, including stock value equivalent awards, immediately vest and are paid based on the vested value of the award.   Under the Annual Performance Pay Plan:   • in the event of a change-in-control during a plan year, a participant will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the maximum dollar amount he or she would have been entitled to for the year, prorated through the date of the change-in-control; and     • in the event of a change-in-control after the end of a plan year but before the payment date, a participant will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the incentive earned for the plan year.   Under the Performance Unit Program:   • in the event of a change-in-control during a performance cycle, a participant will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the maximum amount he or she would have been entitled to receive for the performance cycle, pro-rated to the date of the change-in-control; and     • in the event of a change-in-control after the end of a performance cycle but before the payment date, a participant will be entitled to an immediate cash payment equal to the incentive earned for that performance cycle.   Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in the event of a change-in-control, unless the successor corporation assumes or substitutes new stock purchase rights:   • the purchase date for the outstanding stock purchase rights will be accelerated to a date fixed by the Compensation Committee prior to the effective date of the change-in-control; and     • upon such effective date, any unexercised stock purchase rights will expire and we will refund to each participant the amount of his or her payroll deductions made for purposes of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan that have not yet been used to purchase stock.   POST-TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PAYMENTS   The following tables and narratives represent the impact of certain termination events or a change-in-control on each element of compensation for NEOs as of December 31, 2013.2015.       Termination Event           Termination Event           Name     Payments   Resignation ($)   Early Retirement w/o Approval ($)   Early Retirement w/Approval ($)   Normal Retirement ($)   Term for Cause ($)   Term w/o Cause ($)   Change in Control ($)     Payments     Resignation ($)       Early Retirement w/o Approval ($)       Early Retirement w/Approval ($)       Normal Retirement ($)       Term for Cause ($)       Term w/o Cause ($)       Change in Control ($)   David J.

Upon resignation, the following actions will occur for a NEO’s various elements of compensation:   • Severance Pay.No severance would be paid to the NEO.     • Annual Performance Pay Plan.No payment would be made to the NEO under the Performance Pay Plan.     • Restricted Stock.Any restricted stock holdings would be forfeited upon the date of resignation. Restricted stock holdings information can be found in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End 20132015 table.     • Stock Options.The NEO must exercise outstanding, vested options within 30-90 days after the NEO’s resignation or the options will be forfeited as per the terms of the stock option agreements. Any unvested stock options would be forfeited. Stock option information can be found in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End 20132015 table.     • Performance Units.The NEO would not be eligible to receive payments under the Performance Unit Program.     • Nonqualified Plans.Under all circumstances, the NEO is entitled to any vested benefits under the applicable nonqualified plans as shown in the 20132015 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table. Payments from the Halliburton Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Halliburton Company Benefit Restoration Plan are paid out of an irrevocable grantor trust held at State Street Bank and Trust Company. The principal and income of the trust are treated as our assets and income for federal income tax purposes and are subject to the claims of our general creditors to the extent provided in the plan. The Halliburton Elective Deferral Plan is unfunded and we make payments from our general assets. Payments from these plans may be paid in a lump sum or in annual installments for a maximum ten yearten-year period.     • Health Benefits.The NEO would not be eligible for the $12,000 credit to assist in paying for retiree medical costs because the NEO resigned from employment with us.   Early Retirement.A NEO becomes eligible for early retirement by either attaining age 50 or by attaining 70 points via a combination of age plus years of service. Eligibility for early retirement does not guarantee retention of stock awards (lapse of forfeiture restrictions on restricted stock and ability to exercise outstanding options for the remainder of the stated term). Early retirement eligibility is a condition that must be met before the Compensation Committee will consider retention of stock awards upon separation from employment. For example, if a NEO is eligible for early retirement but is leaving us to go to work for a competitor, then the NEO’s stock awards would not be considered for retention.   Early Retirement (Without Approval).The following actions will occur for a NEO’s various elements of compensation:   • Severance Pay.No severance would be paid to the NEO.     • Annual Performance Pay Plan.No payment would be made to the NEO under the Performance Pay Plan.

The credit is only applicable if the NEO chooses Halliburton retiree medical coverage. This benefit is amortized as a monthly credit applied to the cost of retiree medical coverage based on the number of months from the time of early retirement to age 65.

Monroe, Suite 5, Chicago, IL 60606, have notified us that they intend to present the resolution set forth below to the Annual Meeting for action by the stockholders. Their supporting statement for the resolution and the Board’s statement in opposition are set forth below. As of November 29, 2013, the Sisters beneficially owned 200 shares of our common stock. One other organization is a co-sponsor of this proposal. We are not responsible for the content of the resolution or supporting statement. The Board recommends a voteAGAINST the proposal for the reasons set forth below. Proxies solicited on behalf of the Board will be voted AGAINST this proposal unless stockholders specify a contrary choice in their proxies. The Sisters’ proposal is as follows: “RESOLVED, that shareholders of Halliburton Company (“Halliburton”) urge the Board of Directors to report to shareholders, at reasonable cost and omitting proprietary information, on Halliburton’s process for identifying and analyzing potential and actual human rights risks of Halliburton’s operations and supply chain (referred to herein as a “human rights risk assessment”) addressing the following: • Human rights principles used to frame the assessment • Frequency of assessment • Methodology used to track and measure performance • Nature and extent of consultation with relevant stakeholders in connection with the assessment • How the results of the assessment are incorporated into company policies and decision making The report should be made available to shareholders on Halliburton’s website no later than October 31, 2014. SUPPORTING STATEMENT, As long-term shareholders, we favor policies and practices protecting and enhancing the value of our investments. There is increasing recognition that company risks related to human rights violations, such as litigation, reputational damage, and project delays and disruptions, can adversely affect shareholder value. Investors need full disclosure of such risks to be able to take them into account when making investment decisions. Halliburton, like many other companies, has adopted a code of conduct addressing human rights issues. (Human Rights Policy Statement,http://www.halliburton.com/en-US/about-us/corporate-governance/halliburton-human-rights.page?node-id=hgeyxt6w.) But adoption of principles is only the first step. Companies must also assess the risks to shareholder value posed by human rights practices in their operations and supply chain in order to effectively translate principles into protective practices. The importance of human rights risk assessment is reflected in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (the “Ruggie Principles”) approved by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011. The Ruggie Principles urge that “business enterprises should carry out human rights due diligence ... assessing actual and potential human rights impacts, integrating and acting upon the findings, tracking responses, and communicating how impacts are addressed.” (http://www.business-humanrights.org/media/documents/ruggie/ruggie-guiding-principles-21-mar-2011.pdf) Halliburton’s business—providing products and services to companies, including national or state-owned oil companies (“NOCs”), that explore, develop and produce oil and natural gas—exposes the company to significant human rights risks. As Halliburton admitted in its most recent 10-K, “NOCs often operate in countries with unsettled political conditions, war, civil unrest, or other types of community issues. These types of issues may also result in similar cost overruns, delays, and project losses.” (10-K for 2012, at 12) Halliburton does business in areas and countries like Middle East, North Africa, Azerbaijan, Colombia, Nigeria and Russia, where human rights abuses have occurred. (See id.at 9). Halliburton has also been embroiled in human rights controversies. For example, Halliburton subsidiary KBR has faced federal charges of knowingly violating the Trafficking Victims Protection Act for labor trafficking in Iraq. Human rights risk assessment and reporting would help companies to identify and mitigate such risks and shareholders to understand their potential effect on shareholder value. We urge support for this proposal.” The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal. Our statement in opposition is as follows: We have adopted policies and practices that support and promote the legal and ethical treatment of our employees, customers, contractors, and suppliers. Also, we have created a network of reporting options to allow our employees and third parties to report any suspected or real violation of our policies, practices or law. As an additional level of protection, we have an audit program that reviews our business and employment activities on a regular basis. Furthermore, we have adopted a policy statement on human rights, which is set forth below and is included in our Corporate Sustainability Report that details our commitment to human rights. The policy statement and the report can be found on our website atwww.halliburton.com. Halliburton Human Rights Policy Statement: Halliburton operates in approximately 80 countries around the world, with stockholders, customers, suppliers, and employees that represent virtually every race, national origin, religion, culture, custom, political philosophy, and language. This diversity embodies Halliburton’s belief in the dignity, human rights, and personal aspirations of all people as the foundation of our culture of business excellence. HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement 49 Back to Contents Halliburton and its board of directors support universal human rights as defined by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We respect the sovereignty of governments throughout the world and we believe it is the primary responsibility of local government to safeguard and protect the basic human rights of their citizens. We have historically demonstrated our commitment to human dignity, human rights, and fairness in our employment practices, non-discrimination policies, minimum age requirements, fair compensation policies, and our policies on health, safety, and security for our employees. Halliburton clearly communicates its support for these issues in our Code of Business Conduct. Our Code, business values, and culture reflect a fundamental respect for human rights and freedoms. Halliburton supports these beliefs and core values by requiring compliance with laws, regulations, and customs in all locations where we do business. However, we also expect our employees to abide by both the letter and spirit of our Code of Business Conduct and other Company policies and processes, in all of their business activities. To ensure compliance with these standards of conduct, we provide training and conduct audits, and we make available various avenues for reporting violations, including our Ethics Helpline. We believe that our policy statement, coupled with our continuing efforts to maintain and enforce these policies through our Code of Business Conduct, are sufficient and that further assessment and reporting are not appropriate. The Board of Directors recommends a vote AGAINST the Sisters’ proposal. Proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted against the proposal unless instructed otherwise.

Development of management.           The Lead Director will communicate the evaluation to the Chief Executive Officer.           While the Lead Director communicates the evaluation to the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee meets in an independent session to review the performance evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer and the market study conducted by an independent, outside compensation consultant. Based upon such review, the Compensation Committee will generate the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation recommendation for the upcoming fiscal year. The Compensation Committee will then present its recommendation to the non-management Directors when they reconvene in an executive session.   2.

HALLIBURTON -20142016 Proxy Statement A-1 Back to Contents Board Structure A.

The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is responsible to stockholdersshareholders for the overall management and functioning of Halliburton. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on an annual basis the Board will consider whether it is appropriate that the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer be the same individual and, if it determines that it is no longer appropriate, will take the necessary steps to have a different individual appointed to each of the positions.     B. Lead Director: If the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by the same person, the independent members of the Board will, after considering the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, annually elect an independent Director to serve in a lead capacity.

A Director will not be considered independent if he or she:   a) Is or has been employed by the Company or any of its affiliates in the preceding five calendar years, or any member of the Director’s immediate family has been employed as an Executive Officer of the Company or any of its affiliates in the preceding five calendar years;         b) Has received in the current calendar year, in any of the immediately preceding three calendar years or during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation or personal remuneration from the Company, other than director’s fees, committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service as a Director (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);         c) Has an immediate family member who has received during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation or personal remuneration from the Company, other than director’s fees, committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service as a Director (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);         d) (i) is a current partner or employee of the Company’s external auditor or (ii) during the past three years, was a partner or employee of the Company’s external auditor and personally worked on the Company’s audit within that time;         e) Has an immediate family member who (i) is a current partner of the Company’s external auditor, (ii) is a current employee of the Company’s external auditor and personally works on the Company’s audit or (iii) during the past three years, was a partner or employee of the Company’s external auditor and personally worked on the Company’s audit within that time;         f) Is a partner, member or officer of, or employed in a similar position with, any entity that provides accounting, consulting, legal, investment banking or financial advisory services to the Company for which such entity receives payments from the Company in excess of $120,000 per year; provided that this provision does not apply to a Director who is a limited partner or non-managing member of, or is employed in a similar position with, such entity and has no active role in providing such services to the Company;         g) Is a current employee, or has an immediate family member who is a current executive officer, of an entity that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount which, in any of the last three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of $1 million or 2% of such other entity’s consolidated gross revenues;         h) Is or has been within the preceding three years part of an interlocking directorate in which the Chief Executive Officer or another Executive Officer of the Company serves on the compensation committee of another entity that employs the Director, or an immediate family member of the Director, as an Executive Officer;         i) Is or has an immediate family member who is currently a party to one or more personal services contract(s) with the Company or any Executive Officer of the Company that provides in the aggregate for payments to the Director or immediate family member in excess of $120,000 per year;         j) Serves or has an immediate family member who serves as an executive officer of any tax-exempt entity that has received the greater of 1% of such tax-exempt entity’s consolidated gross revenues or $120,000 from the Company in any of the three immediately preceding fiscal years; or         k) During the current calendar year or any of the three immediately preceding calendar years, has had any other business relationship with the Company for which the Company has been required to make disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that this Section C.1.k shall not apply if such relationship arose in connection with such Director’s status as a past or current senior executive of a company in the oil and gas industry and such Director satisfies the independence tests set forth above and any other then-current applicable regulatory standards for independence. HALLIBURTON -20142016 Proxy Statement A-2 Back to Contents   2. All Directors complete independence questionnaires at least annually and the Board makes determinations of the independence of its members.         3. For purposes of the foregoing Section C:   a) “affiliate” means any individual or entity that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company;         b) “Company” means Halliburton and includes any parent or subsidiary in a consolidated group with Halliburton;         c) “Executive Officer” has the meaning given to “officer” in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and         d) “immediate family member” includes a person’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law and anyone (other than domestic employees) who shares such person’s home. For purposes of the look-back provision in Sections C.1.a, C.1.c, C.1.e and C.1.i above, “immediate family member” will not include individuals who are no longer immediate family members as a result of legal separation or divorce, or those who have died or become incapacitated. D. Management Directors: The Board believes that management Directors should number not more than two (2). While this number is not an absolute limitation, other than the Chief Executive Officer, who should at all times be a member of the Board, management Directors should be limited only to those officers whose positions or potential make it appropriate for them to sit on the Board.     E. Size of the Board: The Board believes that, optimally, the Board should number between ten (10) and fourteen (14) members. Halliburton’s By-laws prescribe that the number of Directors will not be less than eight (8) nor more than twenty (20).     F. Service of Former CEOs and Other Former Management on the Board: Management Directors shall retire from the Board at the time of their retirement as an employee unless continued service as a Director is requested and approved by the Board.     G. Annual Election of All Directors: As provided in Halliburton’s By-laws, all Directors are elected annually by the majority of votes cast, unless the number of nominees exceeds the number of Directors to be elected, in which event the Directors shall be elected by a plurality vote. Should a Director’s principal title change during the year, he or she must submit a letter of Board resignation to the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee who, with the full Committee, shall have the discretion to accept or reject the resignation.     H. Process for the Selection of New Directors: The Board is responsible for filling Board vacancies that may occur between annual meetings of stockholders. The Board has delegated to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee the duty of selecting and recommending prospective nominees to the Board for approval. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers suggestions of candidates for Board membership made by current Committee and Board members, Halliburton management, and stockholders. The Committee may retain an independent executive search firm to identify candidates for consideration. A stockholder who wishes to recommend a prospective candidate should notify Halliburton’s Corporate Secretary, as described in Halliburton’s annual proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers whether to nominate persons put forward by stockholders pursuant to Halliburton’s By-laws relating to stockholder nominations. For each individual nominated in accordance with Halliburton’s By-laws by a stockholder owning at least 1% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Halliburton, the Corporate Secretary will (i) obtain from such nominee any additional relevant information the nominee wishes to provide in consideration of his or her nomination, (ii) report on each such nominee to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and (iii) facilitate having each such nominee meet with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as the Committee deems appropriate.       When it is necessary to add a Director to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the Board, determines the specific criteria for a new Director candidate. After the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies a prospective candidate, the Committee determines the appropriate method to evaluate the candidate. This determination is based on the information provided to the Committee by the person recommending the prospective candidate and the Committee’s knowledge of the candidate. This information may be supplemented by inquiries to the person who made the recommendation or to others. The preliminary determination is based on the need for additional Board members to fill vacancies or to expand the size of the Board, and the likelihood that the candidate will meet the Board membership criteria listed in Section I below. The Committee will determine, after discussion with the Chairman of the Board and other Board members, whether a candidate should continue to be considered as a potential nominee. If a candidate warrants additional consideration, the Committee may request an independent executive search firm to gather additional information about the candidate’s background, experience and reputation, and to report its findings to the Committee. The Committee then evaluates the candidate and determines whether to interview the candidate. One or more members of the Committee and others as appropriate perform candidate interviews. Once the evaluation and interviews are completed, the Committee recommends to the Board which candidates should be nominated. The Board makes a determination of nominees after review of the recommendation and the Committee’s report.     I. Board Membership Criteria: Directors and nominees should possess the following qualifications:   1. Personal characteristics:   a) HighHighest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values;         b) An inquiring and independent mind; and         c) Practical wisdom and mature judgment.   2. Broad training and experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education or technology.       HALLIBURTON - 2016 Proxy Statement      A-3 Back to Contents   3. Expertise that is useful to Halliburton and complementary to the background and experience of other Board members, so that an optimum balance of members on the Board can be achieved and maintained. HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement A-3 Back to Contents   4. Willingness to devote the required amount of time to carrying out the duties and responsibilities of Board membership.         5. Commitment to serve on the Board for several years to develop knowledge about Halliburton’s principal operations.         6. Willingness to represent the best interests of all Halliburton stockholders and objectively appraise management performance.         7. Involvement only in activities or interests that do not create a conflict with the Director’s responsibilities to Halliburton and its stockholders.         The Board evaluates nominees annually for election and reelection, and on an as-needed basis to fill vacancies, to ensure they meet the above criteria. The findings of the reviews and self-assessments conducted in accordance with Sections J and K below will be taken into consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and by the Board in connection with the decision as to who should be nominated for election and reelection. J. Annual Performance Review: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct annual performance reviews of each non-management Director. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will be responsible for determining how to evaluate director performance, each evaluation will include a review of the non-management Director’s:   1. Attendance and participation;         2. Changes in independence;         3. Changes in qualifications, including expertise;         4. Changes in status relating to principal occupation; and         5. Other contributions to the Board and its committees.         The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review each evaluation and, if appropriate, discuss the evaluation with the applicable non-management Director. K. Annual Review of Board Composition; Self-Assessment: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct an annual review of the overall composition profile of the Board to determine whether the then-current non-management Directors collectively represent an appropriate mix of experience and expertise. One or more members of the Board shall have significant experience with an energy-focused company, with a manufacturing company in the chemical, energy or materials industry, or in matters relating to health, safety and the environment. In addition, the non-management Directors will conduct an annual self-assessment of the Board, including assessments of the following:   1. General makeup and composition of the Board;         2. Sufficiency of materials and information provided to the Board;         3. Board meeting mechanics and structure;         4. Board responsibilities and accountability; and         5. Board meeting content and conduct. L. Service on Other Public Company Boards: (1) The Chief Executive Officer will not serve on the boards of directors of more than a total of two publicly traded companies in addition to Halliburton, and (2) no other Director will serve on the boards of directors of more than three publicly traded companies in addition to Halliburton, provided, however, that any such other Director may serve on boards of directors of additional companies if that Director served on such boards of directors at the time of the Director’s election to Halliburton’s Board and that Director undertakes not to stand for reelection or appointment to the boards of directors of those additional companies. In evaluating prospective nominees for the Board and the continued service of current Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into consideration the individual’s membership on the boards of directors of other companies in order to ensure that such individual’s service on such other boards of directors does not impair the individual’s ability to devote sufficient time and commitment to serve effectively as a Halliburton Director.     M. Diversity: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for assessing the appropriate mix of skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the needs of the Board at a given point in time and shall periodically review and update the criteria as deemed necessary. Personal experience and background, race, gender, age and nationality are reviewed for the Board as a whole, and diversity in these factors may be taken into account in considering individual candidates.     N. Director Tenure: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, will perform an annual review of each Director’s continuation on the Board in making its recommendation to the Board concerning his or her nomination for election or reelection as a Director. As a condition to being nominated by the Board for continued service as a Director, each incumbent Director nominee shall sign and deliver to the Board irrevocable letters of resignation, in forms satisfactory to the Board. The first resignation letter is limited to and conditioned on that Director failing to achieve a majority of the votes cast at an election where Directors are elected by majority vote. For any Director nominee who fails to be elected by a majority of votes cast, where Directors are elected by majority vote, his or her irrevocable letter of resignation will be deemed tendered on the date the election results are certified. Such resignation shall only be effective upon acceptance by the Board. The second resignation letter is limited to and conditioned on the Director being found to have substantially participated in a significant violation of U.S. federal or state law or to have recklessly disregarded his or her duty to exercise reasonable oversight, as more fully described in Halliburton’s By-laws. Such resignation shall only be effective upon acceptance by the disinterested members of the Board. Each non-incumbent Director nominee shall agree upon his or her election as a Director to sign and deliver to the Board such irrevocable letters of resignation. Further, the Board shall fill vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender the letters of resignation as described above, promptly following their appointment as a Director. The Board’s expectation is that any Director whose resignation has been tendered as described in this section will abstain from participation in both the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s consideration of the resignation, if they are a member of that committee, and HALLIBURTON - 2016 Proxy Statement      A-4 Back to Contents the Board’s decision regarding the resignation. There are no term limits on Directors’ service, other than mandatory retirement. HALLIBURTON -2014 Proxy Statement A-4 Back to Contents O. Director Compensation Review: It is appropriate for executive management of Halliburton, assisted by an independent compensation consultant, to report periodically to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on the status of Halliburton’s Director compensation practices in relation to other companies of comparable size and Halliburton’s competitors.     P. Form and Amount of Director Compensation: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the competitiveness of Halliburton’s Director compensation practices. In doing so, the Committee, with the assistance of an independent compensation consultant, compares Halliburton’s practices with those of its comparator group, which includes both peer and general industry companies. Specific components reviewed include cash compensation, equity compensation, benefits and perquisites. Information is gathered directly from published proxy statements of comparator group companies. Additionally, the Committee utilizes external market data gathered from a variety of survey sources to serve as a reference point against a broader group of companies. Determinations as to the form and amount of Director compensation are based on Halliburton’s competitive position resulting from this review.     Q. Changes to Director Compensation: Changes in Director compensation, if any, should come upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, but with full discussion and concurrence by the Board.     R. Annual Meeting Attendance: It is the policy of the Board that all Directors attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and Halliburton’s annual proxy statement shall state the number of Directors who attended the prior year’s Annual Meeting.     S. Director Retirement: It is the policy of the Board that each non-management Director shall retire from the Board immediately prior to the annual meeting of stockholders following his or her seventy-second (72nd) birthday. Management Directors shall retire at the time of their retirement from employment with Halliburton unless the Board approves continued service as a Director.   Operation of the Board Meetings   A. Executive Sessions: During each regular Board meeting, the non-management Directors meet in scheduled executive sessions presided over by the Lead Director. During any year, if there exists a non-management Director who is not independent, the independent Directors will meet in at least one executive session presided over by the Lead Director.     B. Frequency of Board Meetings: The Board has five regularly scheduled meetings per year. Special meetings are called as necessary. It is the responsibility of the Directors to attend the meetings.     C. Attendance of Non-Directors at Board Meetings: The Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel will be present during Board meetings, except where there is a specific reason for one or both of them to be excluded. In addition, the Chairman of the Board may invite one or more members of management to be in regular attendance at Board meetings and may include other officers and employees from time to time as appropriate to the circumstances.     D. Board Access to Management: Directors have open access to Halliburton’s management. In addition, members of Halliburton’s executive management routinely attend Board and Committee meetings and they and other managers frequently brief the Board and the Committees on particular topics. The Board encourages executive management to bring managers into Board or Committee meetings and other scheduled events who (i) can provide additional insight into matters being considered or (ii) represent managers with future potential whom executive management believe should be given exposure to the members of the Board.     E. Board Access to Independent Advisors: The Board has the authority to retain, set terms of engagement, and dismiss such independent advisors, including legal counsel or other experts, as it deems appropriate, and to approve the fees and expenses of such advisors.     F. Conflicts of Interest: If an actual or potential conflict of interest develops because of significant dealings or competition between Halliburton and a business with which the Director is affiliated, the Director should report the matter immediately to the Chairman of the Board for evaluation by the Board. In the case of a significant conflict, the conflict must be resolved or the Director should resign. If a Director has a personal interest in a matter before the Board, the Director shall disclose the interest to the full Board and excuse him or herself from participation in the discussion and shall not vote on the matter.     G. Strategic and Business Planning: Strategic and business plans will be reviewed annually at one of the Board’s regularly scheduled meetings.     H. Agenda Items for Board Meetings: The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer prepares a draft agenda for each Board meeting and the agenda and meeting schedule are submitted to the Lead Director for approval. The other Board members may suggest items for inclusion on the agenda, and each Director may also raise, at any Board meeting, subjects that are not on the agenda.     I. Board/Committee Forward Calendars: A forward calendar of matters requiring recurring and focused attention by the Board and each Committee will be prepared and distributed prior to the beginning of each calendar year in order to ensure that all required actions are taken in a timely manner and are given adequate consideration. The Board or Committee shall annually review the recurring events calendars and may change or revise them as deemed appropriate.     J. Advance Review of Meeting Materials: In advance of each Board or Committee meeting, a proposed agenda will be distributed to each Director. In addition, to the extent feasible or appropriate, information and data important to the Directors’ understanding of the matters to be considered, including background summaries and presentations to be made at the meeting, will be distributed in advance of the meeting. The Lead Director advises management on and approves information distributed to the Directors. Directors also routinely receive monthly financial statements, earnings reports, press releases, analyst reports and other information designed to keep them informed of the material aspects of Halliburton’s business, performance and prospects. It is each Director’s responsibility to review the meeting materials and other information provided by Halliburton. HALLIBURTON -20142016 Proxy Statement A-5 Back to Contents Committees of the Board   A. Number and Types of Committees: A substantial portion of the analysis and work of the Board is done by standing Board Committees. A Director is expected to participate actively in the meetings of each Committee to which he or she is appointed.     B. Standing Committees: The Board has established the following standing Committees: Audit, Compensation, Health, Safety and Environment, and Nominating and Corporate Governance. Each Committee’s charter is to be reviewed annually by the Committee and the Board.     C. Composition of Committees: It is the policy of the Board that only non-management Directors serve on Board Committees. Further, only independent Directors serve on the Audit, the Compensation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance and the Health, Safety and Environment Committees, provided that the Directors may appoint one non-independent Director as a member (but not as the Chairman) of the Health, Safety and Environment Committee as they deem appropriate.     D. Interlocking Directorates: A Director who is or has been within the preceding three years part of an interlocking directorate (i.e.(i.e., one in which the Chief Executive Officer or another Halliburton officer serves on the compensation committee of another entity that employs the Director, or an immediatelyimmediate family member of the Director) may not serve on the Compensation Committee. The composition of the Board Committees will be reviewed annually to ensure that each of its members meet the criteria set forth in applicable SEC, NYSE, and IRS rules and regulations.     E. Committee Rotation: The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, recommends annually to the Board the membership of the various Committees and their Chairmen, and the Board approves the Committee assignments. In making its recommendations to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration the need for continuity, subject matter expertise, applicable SEC, IRS, or NYSE requirements, tenure and the desires of individual Board members.     F. Frequency and Length of Committee Meetings: Each Committee shall meet as frequently and for such length of time as may be required to carry out its assigned duties and responsibilities. The schedule for regular meetings of the Board and Committees for each year is submitted and approved by the Board in advance. In addition, the Chairman of a Committee may call a special meeting at any time if deemed advisable.     G. Committee Agendas/Reports to the Board: Members of management and staff will prepare draft agenda and related background information for each Committee meeting which, to the extent desired by the relevant Committee Chairman, will be reviewed and approved by the Committee Chairman in advance of distribution to the other members of the Committee. A forward calendar of recurring topics to be discussed during the year will be prepared for each Committee and furnished to all Directors. Each Committee member is free to suggest items for inclusion on the agenda and to raise at any Committee meeting subjects that are not on the agenda for that meeting.       Reports on each Committee meeting are made to the full Board. All Directors are furnished copies of each Committee’s minutes.   Other Board Practices   A. Non-Management Director Orientation and Continuing Education: An orientation program has been developed for new non-management Directors which includes: comprehensive information about Halliburton’s business and operations; general information about the Board and its Committees, including a summary of Director compensation and benefits; and a review of Director duties and responsibilities. Each non-management Director is required to annually attend at least six hours (or such greater number of hours as best practices suggest are appropriate) of external or internal director continuing education programs, conferences or similar presentations approved (whether before or after the non- managementnon-management Director’s participation) by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and management shall identify and communicate external and internal training and educational opportunities for non-management Directors’ continuing education in areas of importance to Halliburton, including with respect to duties and responsibilities of directors of publicly traded companies, provided that at least two hours of continuing education shall be devoted to issues relating to health, safety and the environment. Halliburton will provide sufficient internal continuing education programs for the non-management Directors to meet this requirement. Attendance at any approved external program shall count for the requirement, but any associated expenses will be for the account of the individual non-management Director except with prior approval by the Audit Committee.     B. Board Interaction with Institutional Investors and Other Stakeholders: The Board believes that it is executive management’s responsibility to speak for Halliburton. Individual Board members may, from time to time, meet or otherwise communicate with outside constituencies that are involved with Halliburton. In those instances, however, it is expected that Directors will do so only with the knowledge of executive management and, absent unusual circumstances, only at the request of executive management.     C. Stockholder Communications with Directors: To foster better communication with Halliburton’s stockholders, Halliburton established a process for stockholders to communicate with the Audit Committee and the Board. The process has been approved by both the Audit Committee and the Board, and meets the requirements of the NYSE and the SEC. The methods of communication with the Board include mail (Board of Directors c/o Director of Business Conduct, Halliburton Company, P. O.P.O. Box 42806, Houston, Texas 77242, USA)77242), a dedicated telephone number (888-312-2692 or 770-613-6348) and an e-mail address (BoardofDirectors@halliburton.com). Information regarding these methods of communication is also on Halliburton’s website,www.halliburton.com,under “Corporate Governance.” Halliburton’s Director of Business Conduct, a Company employee, reviews all HALLIBURTON -2016 Proxy Statement      A-6 Back to Contents stockholder communications directed to the Audit Committee and the Board. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is promptly notified of any significant communication involving accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters.

A report summarizing all communications is sent to each Director quarterly and copies of communications are available for review by any Director.     D. Core Values: The Board Isis committed to promoting Halliburton’s core values.     E. Periodic Review of these Guidelines: The operation of the Board is a dynamic and evolving process.
