Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 14, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (“Occidental”) increased the size of the Board from 11 to 12 directors in order to elect Jack B. Moore, former Chairman of the Board of Cameron International Corporation (“Cameron”), to the Board.
Mr. Moore, 62, served as Chairman of the Board of Cameron from 2011 until it was acquired by Schlumberger in April 2016. He joined Cameron in 1999 and served as Chief Executive Officer from 2008 to 2015 and as President from 2008 to 2014. Prior to joining Cameron, he held various management positions at Baker Hughes Incorporated, where he was employed for 23 years.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Moore and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director. Pursuant to the Company’s compensation program for non-executive directors, Mr. Moore received the following: (i) a pro rata portion of the 2016 equity award granted to non-employee directors, consisting of 1,940 shares of common stock, and (ii) a pro rata portion of the 2016 retainer paid to non-employee directors. At this time, Mr. Moore has not been appointed to any committee of the Board.
In 2015 and 2016, subsidiaries of Occidental engaged in transactions with subsidiaries of Cameron in the ordinary course of business for a range of oilfield services in support of Occidental’s oil and gas segment. As a result, the following information with respect to such transactions is required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K: gross payments to subsidiaries of Cameron, which include amounts for which Occidental is reimbursed by certain joint venture or working interest owners, were approximately $71.9 million in 2015 and $32.5 million in 2016 to date.
