As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of Schlumberger Limited (“Schlumberger”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2013, Satish Pai, formerly Schlumberger’s Executive Vice President, Operations, changed roles and assumed the position of Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer.

In connection with Mr. Pai’s changed role, Schlumberger and Mr. Pai entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) dated June 11, 2013 to be effective as of July 1, 2013 setting forth certain terms of Mr. Pai’s employment with Schlumberger through June 30, 2015 (the “Term”).

Under the Agreement, Mr. Pai will receive payments and benefits consisting of (1) €400,000, to be paid no later than January 31, 2014; (2) €308,180, being equal to the Supplementary French Defined Benefit Pension Plan earned and valued as of June 2013, to be paid no later than January 1, 2017; (3) cash in an amount equal to accrued and unused vacation as of June 30, 2013; and (4) reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred in the normal course of performing his duties under the Agreement.

During the Term, Mr. Pai will generally continue to vest in stock options previously granted to him under Schlumberger’s stock option plans in accordance with the terms of those plans and any applicable agreement. If Mr. Pai is terminated other than for cause or upon his employment with an unauthorized competitor, he will have the period to exercise previously granted stock options provided under the respective plan rules, to the extent that such stock options were exercisable as of the date of his termination.

The Agreement contains certain provisions that would apply in the event of termination of Mr. Pai’s employment. The Agreement also contains confidentiality, return of property and noncompetition covenants.
