Communications with the Public, Investors and the Media<br />

Communications with Investors<br />

We are committed to complying with applicable<br />

regulations regarding the selective disclosure <strong>of</strong><br />

material nonpublic information. The Company<br />

has authorized only a small group <strong>of</strong> individuals to<br />

communicate information about the Company to the<br />

investment community. Any requests for information<br />

from investors, analysts or similar persons should<br />

immediately be directed to Investor Relations.<br />

Communications with the Public and the Media<br />

Our communications with the public must be honest<br />

and straightforward. Ethical Behavior is a core value<br />

at <strong>Halliburton</strong>. To ensure that our communications<br />

are always accurate and consistent, a limited number<br />

<strong>of</strong> individuals within the Company are responsible<br />

for communicating on our behalf. Only those<br />

individuals with authority to speak publicly on the<br />

Company’s behalf may do so. If you do not have<br />

this authority and are approached by a member <strong>of</strong><br />

the public or the media, please refer them to your<br />

supervisor or to Corporate Affairs as quickly as<br />

possible.<br />

The Internet<br />

You should use the Internet responsibly at all times<br />

regardless <strong>of</strong> whether your activities are for<br />

personal or business use.<br />

Never disclose confidential information, such as<br />

customer information, or proprietary information,<br />

such as trade secrets, learned through the course<br />

<strong>of</strong> your work at the Company. Disclosure <strong>of</strong> such<br />

information may result in disciplinary actions<br />

including termination <strong>of</strong> employment.<br />

Am I allowed to access the Internet for personal use while I am at work?<br />

Your computer is a tool provided by the Company for you to do work on the Company’s behalf.<br />

Likewise, the electronic network by which you send and receive emails and access the Internet is a<br />

corporate asset meant to be used in conducting the Company’s business.<br />

Though occasional and reasonable personal use <strong>of</strong> email and the Internet is permitted, you must<br />

exercise good judgment in not abusing the privilege. You must avoid excessive personal use <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Internet while at work. Additionally, accessing inappropriate content on the Internet using the<br />

Company’s computers is prohibited.<br />
