1.2017 Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Program Overview

 

The Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Program, a component compensation program established under the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Director & Officer Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Baker Hughes Incorporated 2002 Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 PRSUP”), provides for equity awards for participants if certain performance goals are met during the term of the 2017 PRSUP.

 

The performance goals are related to the Company’s achievement as compared to a peer group of companies. Achievement of the performance goals is measured over multiple performance periods from the beginning of 2017 to the end of 2019. The amount of a Participant’s Final Adjusted Units is determined by multiplying the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Participant under a Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Award by an aggregate preliminary payout percentage referred to as the “Total Unit Modifier.” Twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Modifier is determined based upon one-year performance relative to certain specified performance criteria during each of 2017, 2018, and 2019. The final twenty-five percent of the Total Unit Modifier is calculated at the end of 2019 based upon the cumulative performance of the Company over the three-year performance period 2017 through 2019.

 

 

 

2.Performance Goals for the Performance Period

 

For purposes of determining the amount of a Participant’s Final Adjusted Units under the 2017 PRSUP, the performance goals are based upon the Company’s (1) change in Revenue as compared to the Peer Group, and (2) Return on Capital Employed or ROCE as compared to the Peer Group measured in absolute terms as well as the percentage growth in ROCE as compared to the Peer Group. For each performance goal, if the Company’s performance as compared to the Peer Group is the highest, the Company’s performance rank shall be first.

 

 

 

 

(a)                One Year Performance Periods

 

Revenue Growth. For the 2017 Performance Period, the 2018 Performance Period and the 2019 Performance Period, the Company’s One Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for its 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the One Year Interval Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of the Peer Group.

 

Return on Capital Employed. For the 2017 Performance Period, the 2018 Performance Period and the 2019 Performance Period, the Company’s ROCE for its 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the ROCE for all members of the Peer Group during the applicable Current Period, as an absolute measure. In addition, as a relative measure, for the 2017 Performance Period, the 2018 Performance Period and the 2019 Performance Period, the Company’s One Year Interval Percentage Increase in ROCE for its 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years, respectively, shall be compared against the One Year Interval Percentage Increase in ROCE for all members of the Peer Group.

 

(b)               Three-Year Performance Period

 

Revenue Growth. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year Percentage Increase in Revenue of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year Percentage Increase in Revenue for all members of the Peer Group as of December 31, 2019.

 

Return on Capital Employed. For the Three-Year Performance Period, the sum of the ROCE of the Company for the 2017 Performance Period, the 2018 Performance Period and the 2019 Performance Period shall be compared against the sum of the ROCE

 

 

for each member of the Peer Group for the 2017 Performance Period, the 2018 Performance Period and the 2019 Performance Period, as an absolute measure. For the relative measure in the Three-Year Performance Period, the Three-Year Percentage Increase in ROCE of the Company shall be compared against the Three-Year Percentage Increase in ROCE for all members of the Peer Group as of December 31, 2019.

 

3.Payout Percentage Adjustments Based on Peer Group Ranking

 

For the Revenue Growth metric, the Payout Percentage for an applicable performance period (the 2017 Performance Period, the 2018 Performance Period, the 2019 Performance Period or the Three-Year Performance Period) for each of the three performance goals is 25% times the payout percentage listed below.

 

2017, 2018, 2019, and Three-Year Performance Period
Peer Group Rank in Revenue Growth 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st
Payout Percentage 0% 45% 90% 135% 200%

 

 

The Payout Percentage for ROCE will be based on a combination of the Company’s rank in absolute ROCE as well as the Company’s rank in percentage growth in ROCE.

 

 

The average of the Payout Percentages for the Revenue Growth and ROCE performance for a performance period is used to determine the Average Payout Percentage for the performance period.

 

The sum of the Average Payout Percentages is the “Total Unit Modifier.”

 

The Participant’s Performance Based Restricted Stock Units multiplied by the Total Unit Modifier equals the Participant’s Final Adjusted Units.

 

In the example below, for illustrative purposes, Year 1 Revenue growth rank was 5th and 0% of 25% is 0%. ROCE absolute rank was 2nd and the ROCE rank in Growth was 2nd, so the matrix above indicates a payout percentage of 135%, and 135% percent of 25% is 33.75%. The Average Payout Percentage based upon the performance in Year 1 is 16.88%. The sum of the Average Payout Percentages for each of the performance periods equals the Total Unit Modifier.

 

 

 

 

Note that levels of achievement contained in the foregoing example are not forecasts by the Company of its expected levels of achievement. Rather, the levels of achievement for purposes of the illustrative example were selected at random.

 

 

If the Peer Group is reduced by merger(s) or otherwise during the term of the Three-Year Performance Period the Committee shall make such adjustments to the above unit modifier chart as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Such adjustments shall not increase the amounts that would have been payable under the above unit modifier chart absent such adjustments.

 

For Example:

 

The total award earned is calculated by multiplying the number of Performance Based Restricted Stock Units granted by the Total Unit Modifier. The resulting product, is the Final Adjusted Units. Each Final Adjusted Unit represents a right to receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Assume the following:

 

·A participant was granted 10,000 Performance Based Restricted Stock Units

 

·The Company’s operational performance resulted in a Total Unit Modifier of 111.26%

 

The total award earned = 10,000 x 111.26% = 11,126 Performance Based Restricted Stock Units

 

4.       Peer Group

 

The Peer Group is as follows for the performance periods ending in 2017, 2018, and 2019, and for the Three-Year Performance Period.
