Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On August 27, 2010, pursuant to the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between Smith International, Inc. (“Smith”), Schlumberger Limited (Schlumberger N.V.) (“Schlumberger”) and Turnberry Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), dated as of February 21, 2010, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Smith (the “Merger”) was completed. Upon completion of the Merger, Smith became a wholly owned subsidiary of Schlumberger. A copy of the press release announcing the results of the Smith shareholder meeting is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Smith common stock (other than shares held by Smith or its subsidiaries) was canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.6966 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Schlumberger common stock. In connection with the Merger, Schlumberger issued approximately 176 million shares of its common stock (of which approximately 76 million were issued from its treasury shares), which represents approximately 12.9% of its outstanding common stock after giving effect to such issuance. Smith stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Schlumberger common stock that they would otherwise be entitled to receive in the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Smith on February 22, 2010 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

In connection with the Merger, Smith notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that each issued and outstanding share of Smith common stock was canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of Schlumberger common stock and requested that the NYSE file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to Smith common stock. Smith common stock and the associated preferred stock purchase rights were delisted and removed from trading on the NYSE effective at the close of market trading on August 27, 2010.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Smith common stock, and each outstanding restricted stock unit under Smith’s employee stock plans which was outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement, was canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.6966 fully paid and non-assessable shares of Schlumberger common stock. No fractional shares of Schlumberger common stock were issued in connection with the Merger, and holders of Smith common stock are entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. At the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Smith common stock were converted into options to purchase shares of Schlumberger common stock with the duration and terms of such converted options to remain the same as the original Smith option. All converted Schlumberger options, other than those issued in respect of Smith options awarded after February 21, 2010, are fully vested and exercisable. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding award of restricted stock units granted by Smith under any of its plans on or prior to February 21, 2010, was converted into the right to receive the merger consideration based on the total number of shares of Smith common stock subject to the outstanding award. To the extent the outstanding award is for performance-based restricted stock units, the number of shares subject to the outstanding award was calculated based on the deemed attainment of performance goals at 100% of the target performance level. Any award of restricted stock units made by Smith after February 21, 2010 was converted into an award of Schlumberger restricted stock units in an amount equal to the product of the number of shares of Smith stock subject to the original Smith award and the exchange ratio, with any fractional units rounded to the nearest whole unit. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the rights associated with shares of Smith common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2000, between Smith and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. (successor to First Chicago Trust Company of New York), as rights agent, as amended, were also canceled.

 

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant

On August 27, 2010, as a result of the Merger, Smith became a wholly owned subsidiary of Schlumberger named Smith International, Inc.
