Stock-based Compensation Plans

11. Stock-based Compensation Plans

SLB has three types of stock-based compensation programs: (i) a restricted stock, restricted stock unit and performance share unit program (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”), (ii) a discounted stock purchase plan (“DSPP”), and (iii) stock options.

Restricted Stock

SLB grants performance share units to certain key employees. The number of shares earned is determined at the end of each performance period based on SLB’s achievement of certain predefined targets as described in the underlying performance share unit agreement. In the event SLB exceeds the predefined target, shares for up to a maximum of 250% of the target award may be awarded. In the event SLB falls below the predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be awarded. If SLB falls below the threshold award performance level, no shares will be awarded. As of December 31, 2022, 3.9 million performance share units were outstanding assuming the achievement of 100% of target.

 

All other restricted stock awards generally vest at the end of three years or vest ratably in equal tranches over a three-year period.

 

Restricted stock awards do not pay dividends or have voting rights prior to vesting. Accordingly, the fair value of a restricted stock award is generally the quoted market price of SLB’s stock on the date of grant less the present value of the expected dividends not received prior to vesting.

The following table summarizes information related to restricted stock activity:

Discounted Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of the DSPP, employees can choose to have a portion of their earnings withheld, subject to certain restrictions, to purchase SLB common stock. Until July 1, 2022, the purchase price of the stock was 92.5% of the lower of the stock price at the beginning or end of the plan period at six-month intervals. Effective July 1, 2022, the purchase price of the stock was changed to 85% of the lower of the stock price at the beginning or end of the plan period at six-month intervals.

 

The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the DSPP was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions and resulting weighted-average fair value per share:

Stock Options

Key employees may be granted stock options under SLB stock option plans. The exercise price equals the average of the high and low sales prices of SLB stock on the date of grant. The maximum term is 10 years, and the options generally vest in increments over five years.
