On August 31, 2026, SLB Limited (“SLB”) issued a press release announcing that it has signed an agreement to acquire Kelvion, a global provider of thermal management and heat exchange technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, SLB will acquire Kelvion from Apollo-managed funds – the majority owner – and funds advised by Triton, which holds a minority interest, for approximately $3.4 billion in cash and will assume approximately $0.7 billion of debt.

A copy of the press release is included with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference. In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99) will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor will it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K and the Exhibit 99 attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which include any statements that are not historical facts. Such statements often contain words such as “expect,” “may,” “can,” “believe,” “predict,” “plan,” “potential,” “projected,” “projections,” “precursor,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “expectations,” “estimate,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “ambition,” “goal,” “target,” “scheduled,” “think,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “see,” “likely,” and other similar words. Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain, including statements regarding the benefits of the proposed transaction between SLB and Kelvion; the anticipated timing of such transaction; information regarding the businesses of SLB and Kelvion, including expectations regarding outlook and all underlying assumptions; SLB’s and Kelvion’s objectives, plans and strategies; information relating to operating trends in markets where SLB and Kelvion operate; projections of results of operations or of financial condition for SLB and Kelvion; and all other statements other than statements of historical fact that address activities, events or developments that SLB or Kelvion intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. Such statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made based on information currently available to management. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and which may cause SLB’s or Kelvion’s actual results and performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that may impact future results and performance include, but are not limited to: the terms and timing of the proposed transaction between SLB and Kelvion; the ability to operate the SLB and Kelvion respective businesses, including business disruptions; difficulties in retaining and hiring key personnel and employees; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction; the ability to satisfy closing conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction; the ability of SLB and Kelvion to integrate the business successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies and value creation from the proposed transaction; the ability to secure government regulatory approvals on the terms expected, at all or in a timely manner; changing global economic and geopolitical conditions; the results of operations and financial condition of customers and suppliers; general economic, geopolitical, and business conditions in key regions of the world; foreign currency risk; inflation; changes in monetary policy by governments; tariffs; pricing pressure; weather and seasonal factors; unfavorable effects of health pandemics; availability and cost of raw materials; challenges in the supply chain; changes in government regulations and regulatory requirements; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
