The following is the text of the website that is being maintained at http://www.KBRexchange.com in connection with Halliburton’s offer to exchange up to an aggregate of 135,627,000 shares of KBR common stock which it owns for outstanding shares of Halliburton common stock, as described in more detail in the Prospectus—Offer to Exchange.

The Exchange Offer
The final exchange ratio is 1.5905.
The final exchange ratio is 1.5905 because the maximum exchange ratio (as described below) is in effect. Accordingly, the exchange offer has been automatically extended by its terms until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 2, 2007.
Halliburton is offering to exchange up to 135,627,000 shares of KBR common stock in the aggregate for outstanding shares of Halliburton common stock, as described in more detail in the Prospectus-Offer to Exchange for the exchange offer (the “Prospectus—Offer to Exchange”). The exchange offer was designed to permit holders of Halliburton common stock to exchange their shares for shares of KBR common stock at a 7.5% discount to the calculated per-share value of KBR common stock, subject to a maximum limit of 1.5905 shares of KBR common stock for each share of Halliburton common stock (the “maximum exchange ratio”), as described in the Prospectus—Offer to Exchange. Stated another way, for each $1.00 of Halliburton common stock accepted in the exchange offer, the terms were designed so that the tendering holder would receive approximately $1.08 of KBR common stock, based on calculated per-share values, subject to the maximum exchange ratio.
The exchange offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 2, 2007, unless the offer is extended or terminated.
The per-share value of Halliburton common stock and the per-share value of KBR common stock used for purposes of calculating the exchange ratio equals the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price (“daily VWAP”) for Halliburton common stock or KBR common stock, as applicable, for March 27, 2007, March 28, 2007 and March 29, 2007 (the “valuation dates”). Stated another way, the final calculated per-share value for each stock was calculated by adding the daily VWAP of the applicable stock for each of the valuation dates and then calculating the average by dividing the resulting total by three. The maximum exchange ratio is in effect because the final calculated per-share values of Halliburton common stock and KBR common stock would have resulted in an exchange ratio that is greater than the maximum exchange ratio and, accordingly, the final exchange ratio has been fixed at the maximum exchange ratio.
If the exchange offer is oversubscribed and Halliburton cannot accept all tenders of Halliburton common stock at the exchange ratio, then all shares of Halliburton common stock that are validly tendered will generally be accepted for

 


 

exchange on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of shares tendered. We refer to this as “proration.” Stockholders who beneficially own “odd-lots” (that is, less than 100 shares of Halliburton common stock) other than through custodial accounts with Computershare or HBOS Employee Equity Solutions and who validly tender all their shares will not be subject to proration if they so request. Proration for each tendering stockholder will be based on the number of shares of Halliburton common stock tendered by that stockholder in the exchange offer, and not on that stockholder’s aggregate ownership of Halliburton common stock.

Exchange Ratio Calculation Formula
The following formula was used to calculate the number of shares of KBR common stock that each tendering stockholder will receive for shares of Halliburton common stock that are validly tendered and accepted in the exchange offer.
                             
Number of shares of
KBR common stock
  =   Number of shares of
Halliburton common
stock validly
tendered and
accepted
  x   the lesser of:  
1.5905
(the
maximum exchange
ratio)
  or   100% of the final
calculated per-share value
of Halliburton common stock
 
divided by
 
92.5% of the final calculated
per-share value of KBR
common stock
Table of Final Calculated Per-Share Values
This table shows historical daily VWAP on each of the valuation dates, the final calculated per-share values for shares of Halliburton common stock and shares of KBR common stock, and the final exchange ratio.

Glossary
calculated per-share value: The per-share value of Halliburton common stock and the per-share value of KBR common stock used for purposes of calculating the exchange ratio equals the arithmetic average of the daily VWAP for Halliburton common stock and KBR common stock, as applicable, on the NYSE for the valuation dates.
daily VWAP: VWAP for the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as is the official open of trading on the NYSE), and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time (or such other time as is the official close of trading on the NYSE), as calculated by Xignite, Inc., except that the data used to make that calculation will take into account only those adjustments to reported trades made by 4:10 p.m., New York City time. The daily VWAP calculated by Xignite, Inc. may be different from volume-weighted average prices calculated by other sources or investors’ or other security holders’ own calculations of volume-weighted average prices.
exchange ratio: The number of shares of KBR common stock that will be exchanged for each share of Halliburton common stock accepted in the exchange offer. The final exchange ratio has been published by press release and is available on this website and from the information agent, Georgeson Inc., at 1-866-313-3046 (toll-free in the United States), 1-212-805-7144 (elsewhere) or 1-212-440-9800 (banks and brokers).

 


 

maximum exchange ratio: The number of shares of KBR common stock each tendering Halliburton stockholder will receive is subject to a maximum exchange ratio of 1.5905 shares of KBR common stock for each share of Halliburton common stock accepted in the exchange offer. IF THE MAXIMUM EXCHANGE RATIO IS IN EFFECT, TENDERING HOLDERS WILL RECEIVE LESS THAN $1.08 OF KBR COMMON STOCK FOR EACH $1.00 OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK ACCEPTED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER (BASED ON THE CALCULATED PER-SHARE VALUES OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK AND KBR COMMON STOCK, AS APPLICABLE, DURING THE VALUATION DATES), AND SUCH HOLDERS COULD RECEIVE MUCH LESS. STATED ANOTHER WAY, IF THE MAXIMUM EXCHANGE RATIO IS NOT IN EFFECT, THE FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE EXCHANGE RATIO CONTEMPLATES THAT, FOR EACH SHARE OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK ACCEPTED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER, TENDERING HOLDERS WILL RECEIVE A NUMBER OF SHARES OF KBR COMMON STOCK CALCULATED AT A 7.5% DISCOUNT TO THE PER-SHARE VALUE OF KBR COMMON STOCK. HOWEVER, IF THE MAXIMUM EXCHANGE RATIO IS IN EFFECT AND A TENDERING HOLDER STILL DECIDES TO TENDER ITS SHARES OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK, A TENDERING HOLDER WILL EXCHANGE ITS SHARES OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK FOR SHARES OF KBR COMMON STOCK AT A DISCOUNT OF LESS THAN 7.5% TO THE PER-SHARE VALUE OF KBR COMMON STOCK AND, DEPENDING UPON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DECREASE IN MARKET VALUE OF KBR COMMON STOCK RELATIVE TO THE MARKET VALUE OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK DURING THE EXCHANGE OFFER PERIOD, TENDERING HOLDERS MAY BE EXCHANGING THEIR SHARES OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK FOR SHARES OF KBR COMMON STOCK WITHOUT ANY DISCOUNT, OR EVEN AT A PREMIUM, TO THE PER-SHARE VALUE OF KBR COMMON STOCK (I.E., IF THE DECREASE IN MARKET VALUE OF KBR COMMON STOCK RELATIVE TO THE MARKET VALUE OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK IS SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH, TENDERING HOLDERS COULD RECEIVE LESS THAN $1.00 OF KBR COMMON STOCK FOR EVERY $1.00 OF HALLIBURTON COMMON STOCK ACCEPTED IN THE EXCHANGE OFFER).
valuation dates: March 27, 2007, March 28, 2007 and March 29, 2007.
VWAP : The “volume-weighted average price” per share of the applicable stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the period specified, as calculated by Xignite, Inc.
