On September 14, 2016, Halliburton's Board of Directors amended Halliburton's By-laws to implement proxy access (Section 7).

The proxy access provision permits up to 20 stockholders owning 3% or more of Halliburton's outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in Halliburton's proxy materials up to two directors or 20% of the Board, whichever is greater, provided that the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the By-laws.

The foregoing summary of the amendments to the By-laws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended By-laws attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1.
