Direct Registration is a method of recording shares of stock in book-entry form. Instead of being represented by a physical share certificate, your SLB shares are held directly in your name and recorded electronically in "book-entry" in our records, which are maintained by Computershare. Shares held in book-entry have all the traditional rights and privileges of shares held in certificate form.
What are the benefits of book-entry?
- Eliminates the risks and costs associated with the storing certificates and replacing lost or stolen certificates.
- Permits electronic share transactions between your broker or dealer and Computershare.
Can I exchange my stock certificate for book-entry shares?
You can direct that existing physical certificates be converted to book-entry shares at any time by sending your physical share certificates along with a letter of instruction to Computershare. No endorsements on the certificates are required. The method of delivery of certificates is at your election and risk. If delivered by mail, we recommend registered, insured mail for at least 3% of the market value. A Direct Registration Transaction Advice ("Advice") will be mailed to you promptly upon deposit of your shares.
Can I get a stock certificate for my book-entry shares?
You can request a physical share certificate representing all or a portion of your book-entry shares at any time. To request a certificate for your book-entry shares, you may call Computershare, visit their website, or prepare a written instruction and mail it to Computershare.
How do I transfer my shares to or from my brokerage account?
Have your broker request that your shares be sent to them through the Depository Trust Company's Direct Registration System. You may need to supply your broker with a copy of your latest Advice and the following information:
- Your Computershare account number (on your Advice)
- Your Social Security Number
- Computershare's DTC number, 7807
- The number of whole shares you wish to move from your Computershare account to your brokerage account
You can also instruct your broker to transfer whole shares from your brokerage account to a book-entry account maintained at Computershare.
How can I sell my Direct Registration shares?
The use of Computershare's sales facility is completely voluntary and you may sell your book-entry shares through Computershare at any time. Computershare cannot accept instructions to sell shares on a specific day or at a specific price. You may sell your shares as a market order or batch order. A market order sale is a request to sell shares promptly at market price. Market order sales are only available at www.computershare.com/investor through Investor Centre or by telephone.
A batch order sale is an accumulation of all sale requests submitted together as an aggregated request. Sale instructions for batch orders received by Computershare will be processed no later than five business days after the date on which the order is received, assuming the market is open for trading. All sales requests received in writing will automatically be treated as a batch order sale. Batch orders are submitted on each market day, assuming there are sale requests to be processed.
Note: The proceeds you receive will be reduced by a sales fee of $15.00 and $0.12 per share for a batch order sale, and $25.00 and $0.12 per share for a market order sale.
The price per share you receive will be the average price per share of all SLB shares sold by Computershare for holders of book-entry shares on the day your shares are sold. The proceeds you receive will be reduced by a sales fee of $15.00 and trading fees of $0.12 per share. The net proceeds from the sale will be mailed to you within approximately 7-10 days of the date of sale.
To authorize the sale, you can access your account via the Internet at the website listed on your Advice, by calling Computershare at the telephone number appearing on your Advice, or in writing. For security reasons, your telephone transactions will be recorded.
Please contact our transfer agent, Computershare, at 1-877-745-9341 or 1-781-575-2707 for shareholders located outside the United States. They will be happy to provide you with the necessary documents and instructions.
If your stock certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, you should notify Computershare immediately so that a Stop Transfer can be placed on the certificate. Lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates must be replaced under an open-penalty indemnity bond for which the insurance carrier charges a premium. Computershare will be happy to assist you in obtaining the necessary forms.
If you own your shares in book-entry form, please promptly notify Computershare of a change in your mailing address, to reduce the possibility of a delay in receiving your dividend checks and other important shareowner mailings. You can change your address by using your dividend check, the tear off portion of your account statement, or by calling and speaking with a customer service representative.
When a stockholder owns shares in more than one account, or when stockholders live at the same address, duplicate mailings may result. If you receive duplicate reports, you can help eliminate the added expense by requesting that only one copy be sent. To eliminate duplicate mailings, contact Computershare, our transfer agent and registrar, at the address and phone number listed above.
SLB shareholders who own shares through a brokerage or bank arrangement must contact their broker or bank for all account information.

Dividend Information
SLB has paid a quarterly dividend since 1957. Starting in 2016, SLB's quarterly dividend announcement has been included in its quarterly results press release. Please click here for our most recently declared dividend.
Yes. SLB’s dividends are qualified for U.S. tax purposes, and Schlumberger Limited is a qualified foreign corporation, because SLB shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Yes. Please contact Computershare for details. A form will be mailed to you. Your bank must participate in the US Automated Clearing House System. If your bank is outside the United States, your non-U.S. bank must have a correspondent bank in the United States.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires Computershare to withhold taxes for the applicable rate of backup withholding for U.S. persons without a W-9 tax certification who are not otherwise exempt. Computershare must withhold and pay to the IRS the applicable tax rate of such payments under certain conditions. This is called “backup withholding.” Supplying Computershare with your correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and signing this form will generally allow you to receive your payments without being subject to backup withholding. Failure to supply your TIN, or supplying Computershare with an incorrect TIN, could result in a $50.00 penalty being assessed by the IRS. Receipt of a completed Form W-9 will discontinue backup withholding unless otherwise required.
The United States Internal Revenue Service requires that all non-resident alien investors certify their foreign status by completing Form W-8BEN. Failure to provide a completed Form W-8BEN may result in the imposition of a U.S. backup withholding tax on all payments to your account.
Printable copies of Form W-9 and Form W-8BEN may be downloaded at Computershare. Go to http://www.computershare.com/investor and click on Printable Forms. You may also update your tax status online.
For registered owners of SLB stock, Computershare sponsors and administers DirectStock, an online-only Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. For more information, you may contact Computershare here: www.computershare.com/investor.
For SLB shareholders who own shares through a brokerage or bank arrangement, please contact your broker or bank with respect to any dividend reinvestment elections that may be available to you.

Mergers and Other Corporate Transactions and Notices
Please click here for the IRS Form 8937 that answers this question. We will maintain this form on our website until April 1, 2026.
Please click here for the answer to this question.
SLB has become aware that some members of the public have received unsolicited telephone calls or correspondence concerning investment in debt or notes purportedly issued by SLB or an entity related to SLB, often claiming that the investments will pay above-market rates of interest.
These are typically from overseas "brokers" or "investment advisors" who target unsuspecting people, offering to sell them what often turn out to be non-existent, worthless, fraudulent or high-risk securities. These operations are commonly known as "boiler rooms."
These "brokers" can be very persistent and extremely persuasive.
These types of brokers often state that they are acting on behalf of, or as agent of, the issuer of the purported securities. You should thoroughly investigate any security being offered to you, as well as the person offering to sell you the security, before you decide to make an investment. If you are the recipient of unsolicited investment opportunities and you feel pressured in any way, simply end the call. Investment in any such fraudulent offers is at your own risk.
SLB Russia Operations
When Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, we knew that – because of our size and number of employees in the region – an accelerated exit would have exposed our people, our technology and our business to significant risk. We immediately took voluntary measures to curtail our Russian activity and announced that we would not make any new investments in Russia and would not deploy new technology used in our services business. We have consistently used the international sanctions to guide our actions, including our announcement in July 2023 that we were halting shipments of products and technology into Russia from all SLB facilities worldwide. This follows SLB's previous ban on shipments from the United States, United Kingdom, the European Union and Canada into Russia. We strongly condemn the actions Russia has taken against Ukraine, and our focus remains on the safety and security of our employees throughout the region as well as our technology and assets.
Yes. SLB takes its responsibility to comply with export control and economic sanction laws extremely seriously. We have consistently used the international sanctions, which reflect the delicate balance between promoting global energy security while pushing for an end to the war in Ukraine, to guide our decisions. The increasing sanctions against Russia are complex and dynamic, and we have committed significant resources across the company to ensure we meet or exceed the various international laws. We have robust processes to handle this complexity, which include audits, corrective actions and other continuous improvements.
No. Because of its adherence to international sanctions and its self-imposed restrictions on technology access, SLB's presence in Russia began decreasing after 2022 and continues to decline in 2024. The number of employees, contracts, and revenue have all declined.
No. Activity for the Russia business has declined significantly through 2023, and we expect this trend to continue in 2024. The Russian market remains competitive, as local companies (including the successors to the different service companies who have ceased operations in Russia) continue to bid on work and maximize their own in-country assets while providing services to the Russian customer base.
Russia represents a small, yet declining percentage of SLB’s global revenue. Russia was less than 5 percent of our revenue in 2023, and we anticipate full-year 2024 revenue from Russia to be lower than 2023.
Yes. Our workforce has declined in country since the invasion, and we anticipate that trend will continue. All hiring during 2023 and 2024 was to replace headcount reductions due to attrition and the seasonal slow-down and was not due to new investment in Russia.
