Integration Update — March 9, 2010

Pre-Close Workshops and Webinars

To ensure all BJ Services employees have a clear understanding of the combination process beginning on Day One, all BJ managers will participate in a variety of learning events. Some managers will attend pre-close workshops that will prepare them to present the new organization to their teams. To minimize pre-close disruption to our business, these participants have been kept to a minimum.

Most managers will participate via web-based workshops that will convey the same pertinent information. The intent of these workshops is to inform managers so they can share their knowledge with all employees throughout their respective regions and areas of responsibility.

Welcome Presentations

BJ Services employees will be invited to attend a welcome meeting to hear from senior-level managers about the benefits of the combined organization and what to expect in the early stages of the integration. Employees will also have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session.

The welcome presentation will take one of three forms depending on the size of your location:

•

Town hall meetings: BJ and Baker Hughes management will welcome BJ employees at the larger BJ facilities across the organization, as well as at key regional offices.

•

Local meetings: A local BJ manager and a local BHI counterpart will conduct rollout presentations for employees. Some facilities may hold multiple meetings to ensure that employees, who are on rotation, working on customer jobs, are able to participate in the presentations.

•

Field meetings: BJ Services employees at remote or smaller facilities will be invited to participate in rollout presentations via live webinars.

Additional details about these activities and the Together We Win campaign will be communicated over the next few weeks.

Please Remember

Baker Hughes and BJ Services must continue to operate independently until the merger has been completed.

All Baker Hughes and BJ Services employees must continue to report only to their current supervisor until the transaction closes.

Safety and service quality are our top priorities. Please do your part to ensure that our operations are as safe and environmentally responsible as ever.

For Additional Information

Please feel free to submit questions to your respective HR department. Frequently-asked questions and other communications regarding the integration are available on the transition website, www.premieroilservices.com.
