On March 18, 2022, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of Dril-Quip, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) increased the number of directors of the Company that constitute the entire Board from seven to eight, effective immediately, and appointed Carri A. Lockhart as a director to fill the vacancy resulting from the increase in the size of the Board, effective March 18, 2022. Ms. Lockhart will serve as a Class I director of the Company until the expiration of her term on the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2022, or until her successor is duly elected and qualified. Ms. Lockhart will serve on the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company.
Ms. Lockhart, 50, has served on the corporate executive committee and as Executive Vice President of Technology, Digital and Innovation at Equinor ASA (“Equinor”) since November 2020, with responsibility for enabling Equinor’s energy transition. Previously at Equinor, she was Senior Vice President – Development & Production International Portfolio and Partner Operations from August 2018 until November 2020 and she was Senior Vice President – Development Production Offshore US (which also included Mexico offshore operations) from May 2016 until August 2018. Prior to joining Equinor in 2016, Ms. Lockhart was employed by Marathon Oil Company for over 20 years in various management, operational and technical positions both domestically and internationally, including as Regional Vice President – Eagle Ford, Regional Vice President – Bakken and Regional Vice President – United Kingdom.
