Halliburton Announces the Pricing Terms of its Pending Cash Tender Offers

Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) announced today the pricing terms of its previously-announced cash tender offers (each, individually with respect to a series of Notes, a “Tender Offer” with respect to such series, and collectively, the “Tender Offers”) to purchase up to $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Tender Offer Amount”) of its senior notes as identified in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”), as well as the anticipated early settlement date for the Tender Offers on March 5, 2020 (the “Early Settlement Date”), as previously announced. The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated February 19, 2020 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and remain unchanged.

The Tender Offers commenced on February 19, 2020 and are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on March 17, 2020, unless extended by Halliburton or earlier terminated with respect to any Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”). However, because the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Deadline exceeds the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, no tenders of Notes submitted after the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in the Tender Offers.

The following table sets forth the terms of the Tender Offers:

(1) The “Tender Cap” for each series represents the maximum aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of Notes that will be accepted for purchase.

(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of Notes tendered at or prior to 5 p.m., New York City time, on March 3, 2020 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and accepted for purchase.

(3) The “Total Consideration” is based on the applicable fixed spread specified for such series of Notes in the table above over the “Reference Yield” based on the bid side price of the “Reference U.S. Treasury Security” specified for each series of Notes in the table above, and is payable to holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by Halliburton. The Reference Yields listed in the table were determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today, March 4, 2020, by the Lead Dealer Managers (as defined below) for the Tender Offers upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Total Consideration for each series of Notes includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes accepted for purchase by Halliburton. In addition to the Total Consideration, payment for Notes accepted for purchase will include accrued and unpaid interest, rounded to the nearest cent, from the last interest payment date with respect to such Notes to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

Because the principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, Halliburton will accept such Notes for purchase subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels and Tender Caps set forth in the table above and the proration arrangements applicable to the Tender Offers. In addition, because the principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, Halliburton will not accept any Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline. Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. Halliburton expects to purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Early Tender Deadline on the Early Settlement Date, subject to the Maximum Tender Offer Amount, the applicable Tender Caps, the proration arrangements applicable to the Tender Offers and the other terms and conditions to the Tender Offers set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The withdrawal deadline for the Tender Offers was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 3, 2020 and has not been extended (the “Withdrawal Deadline”). Accordingly, previously tendered Notes may not be withdrawn, subject to applicable law. Only holders of Notes that validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration on the Early Settlement Date, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Tender Offers set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Halliburton’s obligation to accept for payment and to pay for any of the Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers is not subject to any minimum principal amount of Notes in the aggregate or of any series being tendered, but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The financing condition described in the Offer to Purchase was satisfied on March 3, 2020, upon Halliburton’s consummation of an offering of senior debt securities in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000. Halliburton reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to amend, extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers at any time in its sole discretion.

Morgan Securities LLC and TD Securities (USA) LLC to act as lead dealer managers in connection with the Tender Offers (the “Lead Dealer Managers”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC to act as co-dealer managers (the “Co-Dealer Managers” and, together with the Lead Dealer Managers, the “Dealer Managers”).
