Halliburton Completes Separation of KBR

Halliburton Company (NYSE: HAL) today announced that it has completed the final separation of KBR Inc. (NYSE: KBR). The two companies now are separate and independent of each other.

“This is a major event for Halliburton, especially its dedicated employees, loyal customers and the shareholders,” said Dave Lesar, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Halliburton. “As a pure oilfield services company, Halliburton now can focus on the global growth opportunities in its core energy services business.”

Halliburton announced its plans in January 2005 to ultimately separate the KBR subsidiary. An initial public offering of KBR common stock was completed in November 2006.

“We wish KBR and its employees well as they move forward as an independent company,” added Lesar.

All of the government services and engineering and construction businesses will remain with KBR.

The exchange offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 2, 2007. Under the terms of the exchange offer, Halliburton has accepted 85,273,184 shares of Halliburton common stock in exchange for the 135,627,000 shares of KBR common stock held by Halliburton. Each share of Halliburton common stock accepted for exchange by Halliburton is being exchanged for 1.5905 shares of KBR common stock.

Because the exchange offer was oversubscribed, Halliburton accepted tendered shares on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered. Stockholders who owned less than 100 shares of Halliburton common stock, or an “odd-lot”, who validly tendered all of their shares, were permitted to elect not to be subject to proration, in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. All shares tendered by eligible electing odd-lot stockholders have been accepted. The final proration factor of 40.651959% was applied to all other tendered shares of Halliburton common stock to determine the number of such shares that would be accepted. Shares of Halliburton common stock tendered but not accepted for exchange will be credited promptly to the tendering holder’s account in book-entry form.

Based on the final count by the exchange agent, Mellon Investors Services LLC, the results of the exchange offer are as follows:

Total number of shares of Halliburton common stock tendered 209,441,458
Shares tendered that were subject to proration 209,220,510
“Odd-lot” shares tendered that were not subject to proration 220,948
Total number of shares of Halliburton common stock accepted 85,273,184

Shares of KBR common stock distributed in exchange for accepted shares of Halliburton common stock will be credited promptly to the tendering holder’s account in book-entry form by the exchange agent. Under the terms of the exchange offer, no fractional shares of KBR common stock will be distributed. Instead, fractional shares will be aggregated and sold, and the net cash proceeds of such sale will be distributed promptly by the exchange agent to tendering stockholders in accordance with their fractional interests in the shares sold.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. served as the dealer managers for the exchange offer.
