<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer
of Listing.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;20, 2008, National Oilwell Varco, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) notified the New York Stock
Exchange (the &#147;NYSE&#148;) that the Company had become aware that Robert E. Beauchamp, a current
director, does not qualify as an independent director as defined in Section&nbsp;303A.02 of the NYSE
Listed Company Manual. While conducting its annual corporate governance compliance review to
confirm the independence of the Company&#146;s directors, the Company became aware that Mr.&nbsp;Beauchamp&#146;s
brother-in-law is the Chief Executive Officer of one of the Company&#146;s vendors, which received
payments from the Company of approximately $3&nbsp;million in 2007. These payments exceed the amounts
permitted under the NYSE&#146;s independence standards in Section&nbsp;303A.02(b)(v).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sections&nbsp;303A.04 and 303A.05 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual require that all members of the
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee, respectively, must be
independent. Due to his lack of independence, Mr.&nbsp;Beauchamp immediately resigned as Chair and a
member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and as a member of the Compensation
Committee in order for both committees to be in compliance with the NYSE&#146;s independence rules
concerning these committees. The Board of Directors has appointed Eric L. Mattson to serve as an
additional member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee and for Roger L. Jarvis to serve
as Chair of that committee, and has appointed Mr.&nbsp;Jarvis to serve as an additional member of the
Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors and the Company believe that both of these
individuals meet the independence requirements of Section&nbsp;303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company
Manual.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company remains in compliance with Section&nbsp;303A.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual which
requires that a majority of the Company&#146;s Board consist of independent directors.
