Stock-based Compensation Plans

12. Stock-based Compensation Plans

Schlumberger has three types of stock-based compensation programs: (i) stock options, (ii) a restricted stock, restricted stock unit and performance share unit program (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”), and (iii) a discounted stock purchase plan (“DSPP”).

Stock Options

Key employees may be granted stock options under Schlumberger stock option plans. The exercise price equals the average of the high and low sales prices of Schlumberger stock on the date of grant.  The maximum term is 10 years, and the options generally vest in increments over five years.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions and resulting weighted-average fair value per share:

Stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable as of December 31, 2020 had no intrinsic value.  

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was  $4 million and $15 million, respectively.  There were no stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Restricted Stock

Schlumberger grants performance share units to its executive officers.  The number of shares earned is determined at the end of each performance period based on Schlumberger’s achievement of certain predefined targets as defined in the underlying performance share unit agreement.  In the event Schlumberger exceeds the predefined target, shares for up to the maximum of 250% of the target award may be awarded.  In the event Schlumberger falls below the predefined target, a reduced number of shares may be awarded.  If

Schlumberger falls below the threshold award performance level, no shares will be awarded.  As of December 31, 2020, 3.8 million performance share units were outstanding assuming the achievement of 100% of target.

All other restricted stock awards generally vest at the end of three years or vest ratably in equal tranches over a three-year period.

Restricted stock awards do not pay dividends or have voting rights prior to vesting.  Accordingly, the fair value of a restricted stock award is the quoted market price of Schlumberger’s stock on the date of grant less the present value of the expected dividends not received prior to vesting.

Discounted Stock Purchase Plan

Under the terms of the DSPP, employees can choose to have a portion of their earnings withheld, subject to certain restrictions, to purchase Schlumberger common stock. The purchase price of the stock is 92.5% of the lower of the stock price at the beginning or end of the plan period at six-month intervals.

The fair value of the employees’ purchase rights under the DSPP was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions and resulting weighted-average fair value per share:
