Proxy Statement Summary



PROPOSAL 2 Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.			See page 31

Compensation Program Components

This section outlines each of the components of our compensation program. Overall compensation consists of base salary, annual performance incentive awards and long-term incentive awards.

Base
Salary

Annual Incentive Compensation
Plan ("AICP")

Long-Term
Incentive Plan ("LTIP")

Base salary recognizes the job being performed, executive seniority and tenure and the value of that job in the competitive market. Base salary must be sufficient to attract and retain the executive talent necessary for our success and provides a fixed element of compensation to avoid fluctuations in compensation that could distract our executives from the performance of their responsibilities.

Civeo’s LTIP, established under the Equity Participation Plan ("EPP"), provides an additional incentive to executives to grow shareholder value through ownership of Civeo common shares or incentive awards directly linked to Civeo’s share price and supports our efforts to attract and retain highly qualified executives to grow and develop Civeo in our competitive and cyclical industry.



PROPOSAL 3 Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as Civeo’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.			See page 59

The Audit Committee of our board of directors has determined that the accounting firm of Ernst & Young ("E&Y") is independent from the Company and once again selected E&Y as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2024. E&Y has conducted the examination of the Company’s financial statements since the year ended December 31, 2010.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees

The following table shows the aggregate fees billed by and paid to E&Y for 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Proxy Statement Summary



PROPOSAL 4 Approval of an Amendment to the Articles to Declassify the Board and Phase-In Annual Elections

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.			See page 62

Under Civeo's Articles, the board of directors is currently divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible. Each year, directors comprising one of the classes are elected at the annual general meeting of shareholders, to hold office for a three-year term.

If approved by shareholders, the proposed Declassification Amendment would amend Articles 14.2, 14.6, 14.10 and 14.11 of our Articles, as set forth in Appendix A, to declassify our board of directors and phase-in annual director elections. We are asking that shareholders pass a special resolution to approve the Declassification Amendment. Our board of directors believes that the proposed amendments to our Articles set forth in the Declassification Amendment are in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders.



PROPOSAL 5 Approval of an Amendment to the Articles to Eliminate the Terms of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.			See page 64

Civeo's Articles currently contain specific special rights and restrictions attaching to the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”). In particular, the existing special rights and restrictions restrict the pool of Class A Preferred Shares and Class B Preferred Shares (an series thereof) available for issuance by Civeo. The Preferred Shares were initially issued in 2018 in connection with the acquisition by Civeo of Noralta Lodge Ltd., and the special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred shares were structured to account for particular transaction considerations. In December 2022, the holders of the Preferred Shares converted all remaining Preferred Shares into common shares. Following such conversion, no Preferred Shares remained outstanding.

If approved by shareholders, the Preferred Share Amendment would amend Article 27 of our Articles to remove Schedule A. The amendment will have the effect of eliminating the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares, and will return the shares constituting such series to the general pool of preferred shares of such series that are available for issuance. Overall, this will provide Civeo with more flexibility without having any material impact on the existing shareholders. We are asking that shareholders pass a special resolution to approve the Preferred Share Amendment. The proposed amendments comprising the Preferred Share Amendment are set forth in Appendix A. Our board of directors believes that the proposed amendments to our Articles set forth in the Preferred Share Amendment are in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders.

Corporate Governance



PROPOSAL 1 Election of Directors

Three directors have been nominated for election at the annual general meeting to serve as Class I members of Civeo’s board of directors. Based on the recommendation of our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee, Civeo’s board of directors has nominated C. Ronald Blankenship, Michael Montelongo and Charles Szalkowski for election to the three expiring Class I positions on the board of directors currently held by them, to hold office for three-year terms expiring at the annual general meeting of shareholders in 2027, and until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Shareholder nominations will not be accepted for filling board of directors seats at the annual general meeting because our Articles require advance notice for such a nomination, the time for which has passed. Our board of directors has determined that C. Ronald Blankenship, Michael Montelongo and Charles Szalkowski are each “independent,” as that term is defined by the applicable New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listing standards. See “Board of Directors Structure—Director Independence” for a discussion of director independence determinations. See “Director Biographies” for a brief biography of all directors, including the director nominees.

Each of the nominees is a current member of the Civeo board of directors. Each of the nominees has consented to being named as a nominee in this proxy statement and to continue serving as director if re-elected at the annual general meeting. Although management does not contemplate the possibility, if any nominee withdraws or otherwise becomes unable to serve as a director at the time of the election, the shares represented by proxies will be voted for the election of a substitute nominated by the board of directors to replace such nominee.



Civeo’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the director nominees named above. The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote all proxies received in favor of the election of the nominees named below, except in any case where authority to vote for the directors is withheld.

Board of Directors—Skills and Experience

Qualifications of Directors

When identifying our directors appointed to our board of directors, the following are considered:

•the person’s reputation and integrity;

•the person’s qualifications as an independent, disinterested, non-employee or outside director;

•the person’s skills and business, government or other professional experience and acumen, bearing in mind the composition of the board of directors and the current state of Civeo and the accommodations industry generally at the time of determination;

•the number of other public companies for which the person serves as a director and the availability of the person’s time and commitment to Civeo; and

•the person’s knowledge of the major geographic areas in which we operate or another area of our operational environment.

Other factors considered include the diversity of the board of directors, including the optimal enhancement of the current mix of

educational backgrounds, business industry experience and knowledge of different geographic markets, services and products.

Further, in considering nominees for director, diversity of viewpoints, expertise and experience are taken into account as well as gender, ethnicity and background. We believe that the above-mentioned attributes, along with the leadership skills and other experience of the Civeo board of directors described below, provide Civeo with the perspectives and judgment necessary to guide its strategies and monitor their execution.

We believe the breadth and variety of business experience of each of our directors and director nominees identified in the following table make each of them well qualified to serve on our board of directors.

Board of Directors—Refreshment/Succession Planning

In selecting nominees for the board of directors, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee considers, among other things, the diversity of the board of directors in terms of educational background, business industry experience, and knowledge of different geographic markets and the accommodations industry. Further, in considering nominees for director, diversity of viewpoints, expertise and experience are taken into account as well as gender, ethnicity and background. These factors are considered by the board of directors when identifying individuals for board membership. In the case of each current director being considered for renomination, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee took into account the director’s history of attendance at board of directors and committee meetings, the director’s tenure as a member of the board of directors and the director’s preparation for and participation in such meetings.

Because Civeo operates across the globe and serves customers and guests from different nations and backgrounds, we have always sought directors who, in addition to their integrity, experience, and acumen, have diverse backgrounds and points of view. Through purposeful refreshment, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee is committed to seeking highly qualified women and individuals from ethnically diverse groups to include in the pool of potential director candidates and has provided this instruction to the third-party search firm that it uses to assist in the identification of potential director candidates.

•The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee may seek referrals from other members of the board of directors, management, shareholders and other sources.

•The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee also may, but need not, retain a professional search firm in order to identify, recruit and evaluate qualified candidates for the board of directors.

Consideration of Diversity and Other Relevant Factors

•The board of directors and the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee are committed to actively seeking new and diverse members whose expertise lend to the greater needs of the board of directors. In that regard, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee considers race and gender of prospective director candidates, as well as the factors identified above, in order to achieve an overall variety and mix of diversity among our directors. The effectiveness of this policy is assessed in connection with the board of directors’ annual evaluation.

Assessment of the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee

•The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the candidate’s experience, independence and understanding of the Company’s business.

Interviews

•The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee conducts an interview with each candidate.

•Further interviews are conducted with other directors as well as senior management.

Recommendations

•After the assessment and interview process, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee submits a recommendation of nominees to the board of directors, and the board of directors selects the nominees.

The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee will consider recommendations from various sources, including from shareholders, regarding possible candidates for director. To submit a recommendation to the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee, a shareholder should send a written request to the attention of Civeo’s Corporate Secretary at Civeo Corporation, Three Allen Center, 333 Clay Street, Suite 4980, Houston, Texas 77002. The written request must include the nominee’s name, contact information, biographical information and qualifications, as well as the nominee’s written consent to serve, if elected, and any other information the shareholder may deem relevant to the committee’s evaluation. The request must also disclose the number of common shares beneficially owned by the person or group making the request, the period of time such person or group has owned those shares and the nature of any arrangement or agreement between the shareholder making a nomination and other parties with respect to the nomination. Candidates recommended by shareholders are evaluated on the same basis as candidates recommended by our directors, executive officers, third-party search firms or other sources. These procedures do not preclude a shareholder from making nominations in accordance with the process described below under “Future Shareholder Proposals.”

Civeo’s Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect our belief that directors should not be subject to term limits or age-based limits. While such limits could facilitate fresh ideas and viewpoints being consistently brought to the board of directors, we believe they


16

Corporate Governance

are counterbalanced by the disadvantage of causing the loss of a director who over a period of time has developed insight into our strategies, operations and risks and continues to provide valuable contributions to board of directors deliberations. Civeo has been a separate public company since May 2014, and during that time, 16 different individuals have served on our now 9-seat board of directors. As a result, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee has concluded that the Company has experienced an adequate turnover and refreshing of its board of directors. All of the departed board members left in good standing without any disagreements with the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices, but voluntarily resigned either because of professional time commitments, retirement or, in one case, a job opportunity in South Asia, or because particular shareholders who had proposed them as directors had changed their ownership positions in the Company. The board of directors regularly evaluates committee composition and whether to add new directors.

Director Resignation Policy

We have adopted a director resignation policy, which is included in Civeo’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The director resignation policy provides that, if a director receives a greater number of “withheld” votes than votes “for” his or her election, that director is required by our Corporate Governance Guidelines to tender his or her resignation to the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee for consideration. The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee will recommend to the board of directors the action, if any, to be taken with respect to the resignation. Any such resignation shall not be effective unless and until the board of directors chooses to accept the resignation in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines. While not necessarily resulting in a resignation, the offer will provide the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee the opportunity to consider the appropriateness of continued membership on the board of directors of the director who tendered resignation and make a recommendation to the board of directors as to the director’s continued service on the board of directors. In making this recommendation, the Committee will consider all factors deemed relevant by its members including, without limitation, (1) the underlying reasons why shareholders may have “withheld” votes for election from such director, if known; (2) the length of service and qualifications of the director whose resignation has been tendered; (3) the director’s past and potential future contributions to us; (4) the current mix of skills and attributes of the directors on the board; (5) whether, by accepting the resignation, we will no longer be in compliance with any applicable law, rule, regulation, or governing instrument; and (6) whether accepting the resignation would be in our best interests and those of our shareholders.

Civeo’s Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that, if a director changes his or her employer or otherwise has a significant change in job responsibilities during his or her tenure as a director, that director is required to inform the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee of the change and tender his or her resignation to the board of directors for consideration. Such resignation shall not be effective unless and until the board of directors chooses to accept the resignation. The board of directors, through the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee, shall review the matter in order to evaluate the continued appropriateness of such director’s membership on the board of directors and each applicable committee under these circumstances, taking into account all relevant factors and may accept or reject a proffered resignation.

Board of Directors—Role and Responsibilities

Overview

The basic responsibilities of our board of directors are to (1) supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company; (2) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company; and (3) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Oversight of Enterprise Risk

Risk oversight is a responsibility of the board of directors. The board of directors has delegated responsibility for monitoring certain enterprise risks to its standing committees. The board of directors and its committees utilize our Enterprise Risk Management process to assist in the oversight of our risks. Management and employees are responsible for day-to-day risk management, and management conducts an extensive risk assessment of our business annually. The risk assessment process is global in nature and has been developed to identify and assess our risks, including the nature, likelihood of occurrence, materiality and anticipated timing of impact of the risk, as well as to identify steps to mitigate and manage each key risk. Our key business leaders, functional heads and other managers are surveyed and/or interviewed to develop this information.

The results of the risk assessment are reviewed with the Audit Committee and with the full board of directors annually. The centerpiece of the assessment is the discussion of our key risks, which include strategic, operational, human capital, regulatory, cybersecurity and other risks and the factors discussed above. As part of the process for evaluating each key risk, a senior manager is identified to manage the risk, monitor potential impact of the risk and execute initiatives to mitigate the risk. In addition, the oversight of each key risk is allocated to a board committee or the entire board for oversight and monitoring.

Cybersecurity Risk Oversight Strategy

Cybersecurity risks are continuously monitored and evaluated by management through an internal compliance program with oversight by internal audit. Civeo engages a variety of cybersecurity partners to perform penetration testing and quarterly audits on our cyber security profile. In order to promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management, management has also implemented a variety of required programs to both test and train our employees on cybersecurity fundamentals, including both annual and ongoing information security awareness training.

In 2023, the Company conducted a cyber breach simulation exercise with the assistance of a third party cybersecurity consultant. The exercise focused on incident management and communication processes. Company business functions, executive management and members of the board of directors participated. The goal was to identify opportunities for greater efficiency, coordination, and alignment.

The board of directors reviews the Company's cybersecurity risk posture, strategy and execution on at least an annual basis while the Audit Committee receives cybersecurity updates quarterly. Executive management regularly meets with the Audit Committee to discuss cybersecurity risks, review quarterly cyber metrics and oversee progress against our annual action plans. In addition to scheduled meetings, the Audit Committee and executive management maintain ongoing dialogue regarding emerging or potential cybersecurity risks.

For more information on our cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance, see "Item 1C. Cybersecurity" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Management Succession Planning

The Compensation Committee periodically reports to the board of directors on succession planning. The board of directors works with the Compensation Committee to evaluate potential successors to the Chief Executive Officer, as well as other key executive positions. Additionally, the Audit Committee annually reviews the Company's succession planning for accounting and finance personnel.

Oversight of Human Capital Management

Attracting, retaining and mentoring the talent needed to address the needs of our business is the basis of our human capital strategy. The board of directors and the Compensation Committee regularly discuss, prepare and advance the Company’s succession plan. The board of directors regularly interacts with the Company’s senior team, to enhance its full view of the Company’s talent pool and the necessary development needs of each high potential employee. We strive to offer competitive compensation, benefits and services that meet the needs of our employees, including short and long-term incentive programs, various defined contribution plans, healthcare benefits, and wellness and employee assistance programs.

Oversight and Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are an essential part of our company's success. Our diversity helps us service our employees, clients and communities better, leading to greater success for everyone. Management has full support from our board of directors to advance diversity and inclusion initiatives across the business including our relationships with our Indigenous partners.

As a company, we recognize the importance of a diverse workforce represented by people from different backgrounds, experiences and ways of looking at the world. In Canada, we are committed to hiring Indigenous Peoples and expanding our Indigenous workforce to 10%. In 2023, we reached 7% Indigenous employment in Canada despite challenging market conditions that resulted in reduced hiring in the region. Approximately 6% of our total new hires in Canada were of Indigenous background during 2023. In addition, our Indigenous Procurement Policy in Canada helps foster strong community relationships while ensuring a local and diverse supply chain of business partners. In 2023, we purchased more than C$64 million in goods and services from the Indigenous business community, representing 27% of our total Canadian local spending. In Australia, all of our food suppliers are Australian companies and, where possible, are based locally. Through our membership with Supply Nation, a non-profit organization committed to supplier diversity and Indigenous business development, we were able to direct approximately A$12.3 million in 2023 into Indigenous-owned and operated companies, representing a 29% year over year increase, and we are always looking for more opportunities to partner with these businesses.

Role in Corporate Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship

Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Civeo has adopted a Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”), which requires that all directors, officers and employees of Civeo act ethically at all times. This Code of Conduct is available at Civeo’s website civeo.com by first clicking “ESG”, then selecting "Governance Documents" from the "Governance" drop-down menu, and then "Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics."

Substantially all of our employees are required annually to complete online training which includes a review of our Corporate Code of Conduct and an acknowledgment that the employee has read and understands the policy.

Financial Code of Ethics for Senior Officers

Civeo has adopted a Financial Code of Ethics for Senior Officers (the “Financial Code of Ethics”) that applies to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer and other senior officers (“Senior Officers”). The Financial Code of Ethics is available at Civeo’s website civeo.com by first clicking “ESG”, then selecting "Governance Documents" from the "Governance" drop-down menu, and then “Financial Code of Ethics for Senior Officers.”

Ethical principles set forth in the Financial Code of Ethics include, among other principles, matters such as:

•Acting ethically with honesty and integrity;

•Avoiding conflicts of interest;

•Complying with disclosure and reporting obligations with full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures;

•Complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations;

•Acting in good faith, responsibly with due care, competence and diligence;

•Respecting confidentiality of information acquired in the course of his or her work; and

•Responsibly using and maintaining assets and resources employed or entrusted to the Senior Officer.

Senior Officers must also comply with the Code of Conduct.

Board of Directors Oversight of Commitment to ESG and Sustainability

We believe that sound corporate citizenship and attention to ESG principles are essential to our success. Oversight of ESG matters is directly assigned to our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee. Please see "Board of Directors - Committees - Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee" for further information with respect to the Committee's responsibilities.

Even though ESG topics have been increasingly capturing attention from shareholders and potential investors, they have long been of concern to Civeo and our guests, customers, employees, contractors, creditors, management and board of directors. We are committed to operating with integrity, contributing to the local communities where we operate, promoting diversity, developing our employees, focusing on sustainability and being thoughtful environmental stewards.

Our customers are often involved in significant projects in remote areas where environmental impacts are carefully monitored; where safe food storage and preparation, clean water and careful handling of waste are critical; where medical care may be inaccessible; and where our diverse guests and staff members measure their work shifts in weeks, in sometimes difficult weather, and thus may feel somewhat confined into relatively small communities at our lodges and villages.

Recently, to lend a more formalized structure to our ESG efforts, we have established a global Steering Committee at the Executive Management level. The Steering Committee, led by our CEO and composed of members of our Executive Management team, is charged with the development of our ESG Roadmap. The ESG Roadmap specifies strategies, and the accompanying actions, linked to measurable Key Performance Indicators. Supporting the ESG Steering Committee are separate Working Groups made up of the appropriate technical experts in the areas of 'Environmental', 'Social' and 'Governance', who are responsible for execution of the respective strategies. The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee provides oversight to the Steering Committee.

As noted above, through the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee, our board of directors provides oversight of management’s efforts around these ESG topics and is committed to supporting Civeo's efforts to operate as a sound corporate citizen. We believe that an integrated approach to business strategy, corporate governance, and corporate citizenship creates long-term value.

Shareholder Engagement

Through the year, we meet with analysts and institutional investors to inform and share our perspective, and to solicit their feedback on our performance. This includes participation in investor conferences and other formal events, and group and one-on-one meetings throughout the year.


SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH

Board of Directors—Structure

Currently, the Civeo board of directors is divided into three classes, with three directors in each class. The members of each class serve for three years following their election, with one class being elected each year. The directors designated as Class I directors will have terms expiring at the annual general meeting this year. If elected at the annual general meeting, Messrs. Blankenship, Montelongo and Szalkowski, as Class I directors, will have terms expiring in 2027. The directors designated as Class II directors have terms expiring in 2025, and the directors designated as Class III directors have terms expiring in 2026. At the annual general meeting, the board of directors is seeking shareholder approval of the proposed Declassification Amendment, which, if approved, would have the effect of declassifying our board of directors and phasing in annual director elections. Our board of directors believes that the proposed amendments to our Articles set forth in the Declassification Amendment are in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders. For additional information on the Declassification Amendment, see page 62.

Board of Directors Leadership

Our board of directors is led by our independent Chair of the Board, and the Chief Executive Officer position is currently separate from the Chair role. The Chair presides over board meetings and executive sessions of the independent directors, works with management and the independent directors to approve agendas and schedules, and is available to engage directly with shareholders where appropriate. The board of directors maintains the flexibility to determine whether the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated, based on what it believes is in the best interests of the Civeo at a given point in time. We believe the separation of these two positions is appropriate corporate governance for us at this time because it promotes a strong independent leadership structure. In addition, we believe this structure facilitates effective oversight of management and enables the board of directors to fulfill its risk oversight responsibilities.

Director Independence

Under rules adopted by the NYSE, our board of directors must have a majority of independent directors. To qualify as “independent” under the NYSE listing standards, a director must meet objective criteria set forth in the NYSE listing standards, and the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us).

The Civeo board of directors reviews, as appropriate, material or relevant direct or indirect business relationships between each director (including his or her immediate family) and our company, as well as each director’s relationships with charitable organizations, to assess director independence as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE. The NYSE listing standards include a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of Civeo and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with Civeo. In addition, as further required by the NYSE, the Civeo board of directors has made a subjective determination that each independent director has no material relationship with Civeo (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Civeo). When assessing the materiality of a director’s relationship with us, the board of directors considers the issue not merely from the standpoint of the director, but also from the standpoint of the persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation.

The Civeo board of directors has determined that, except for Bradley Dodson, our President and Chief Executive Officer, all of Civeo's current directors (Richard A. Navarre, C. Ronald Blankenship, Jay K. Grewal, Martin A. Lambert, Michael Montelongo, Constance B. Moore, Charles Szalkowski, and Timothy O. Wall) qualify as “independent” in accordance with the applicable NYSE listing standards.

Executive Sessions

Our independent directors regularly meet in executive session with no members of management present, generally at each board of directors and committee meeting. Our Chair of the Board, Richard Navarre, who is an independent director, or each Committee Chair, who is independent, presides at these sessions.

Commitment to Good Governance Practices

Corporate Governance Highlights

Board of Directors and Committee Meetings

During 2023, the Civeo board of directors held six meetings, the Audit Committee held seven meetings, the Compensation Committee held five meetings, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee held four meetings and the Finance and Investment Committee held three meetings. In total, each director attended 100% of the total meetings of the board of directors. Additionally, each director attended 100% of the total committee meetings for which he or she served, with the exception of one director who attended 87.5% of the total committee meetings. While we understand that scheduling conflicts may arise, we expect directors to make reasonable efforts to attend the annual general meeting of shareholders, meetings of the board of directors and meetings of the committees on which they serve. All of our directors attended the 2023 annual general meeting of shareholders.

Board of Directors—Performance Evaluations

Annually, the board of directors conducts a self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. The Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee receives comments from all directors and reports to the board of directors with an assessment of the performance of the board of directors and each individual director. The assessment focuses on the board of directors and each individual director's contribution to Civeo and specifically focuses on areas in which the board of directors or management believes that the board of directors and each individual director could improve.

Additionally, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee leads the board of directors in the annual performance review of each of the board's committees. As part of this process, the chair of each committee reports to the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee Chair who then reports the results of the self-evaluations to the full board of directors about the committee’s annual evaluation of its performance and evaluation of its charter.

Corporate Governance

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

Each new director must participate in the Company’s orientation program, which is conducted in a reasonable period of time after the meeting at which such director is initially appointed. This orientation includes presentations by senior management to familiarize new directors with the Company’s operations, its strategic plans, its significant financial, accounting and risk management issues, its compliance programs, its Code of Conduct and its Financial Code of Ethics, its principal officers, and its internal and independent auditors. In addition, the orientation program includes visits to Company headquarters and, to the extent practical, visits to various operational sites of the Company.

In addition, training sessions by outside experts are periodically conducted during meetings of the board of directors related to, among other things: U.S. securities law; risk assessment, insurance and management; investor perspective on ESG practices and trends; and macro-economic trends in the U.S. and global economies. Directors also attend continuing education seminars and webcasts hosted by outside experts such as the National Association of Corporate Directors in order to stay current with best practices and evolving trends. Finally, management regularly provides the board of directors with published articles and white papers authored by outside experts on topics ranging from shareholder activism, ESG trends, proxy advisory firm ratings, guidance and proposed regulations. During 2023, certain directors completed a two-hour cybersecurity training. Additionally, during 2023, certain directors visited various operational sites of the Company in the Australian Bowen Basin.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Civeo has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide the board of directors with the necessary authority and practices in place to make decisions that are independent from management, that the board of directors adequately performs its function as the overseer of management and to align the interests of the board of directors and management with the interests of the shareholders. Civeo’s Corporate Governance Guidelines are available at civeo.com, by first clicking “ESG”, then selecting “Governance Documents” from the "Governance" drop-down menu, then “Corporate Governance Guidelines.”

Communications with Directors; Accounting and Auditing Concerns

Shareholders or other interested parties may send communications, directly and confidentially, to our board of directors, to any committee of our board of directors, to non-management directors or to any director in particular by sending an envelope marked “confidential” to such person or persons c/o Civeo Corporation, Three Allen Center, 333 Clay Street, Suite 4980, Houston, Texas 77002. Any such correspondence will be forwarded by the Corporate Secretary of Civeo to the addressee without review by management.

The Audit Committee has established procedures to receive, retain and treat complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions

There are no transactions or relationships required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K since the beginning of the last fiscal year.

Our board of directors has adopted written procedures for approving related-party transactions. We review relationships and transactions in which we are a participant to determine whether our directors and executive officers or their immediate family members and our 5% beneficial owners have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Corporate Secretary’s office is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors, executive officers and 5% beneficial owners with respect to related party transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether a related party has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. As required under the rules of the SEC, any related party transaction will be disclosed in filings we make with the SEC when required, including disclosure in our proxy statements.

Our Code of Conduct prohibits conflicts of interest. Any waivers of these guidelines must be approved by the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee of our board of directors or by our full board of directors. Our prohibition on conflicts of interest under the Code of Conduct extends to related-party transactions. Under the Code of Conduct, conflicts of interest occur when private, commercial or financial interests prevent a director or employee from fulfilling his or her duties to Civeo.


			2023 Proxy Statement			25

Corporate Governance

We have multiple internal processes for reporting conflicts of interests, including related-party transactions. For example, under the Code of Conduct, all employees are required to report any conflict of interest to their supervisors. Any transaction involving related parties must be reported in writing by our division executives as part of their quarterly representation letters. This information will then be reviewed by disinterested members of our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee, our board of directors or our independent registered public accounting firm, as deemed appropriate, and discussed with management. As part of this review, the following factors will generally be considered:

•the nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction;

•the material terms of the transaction, including, without limitation, the amount and type of the transaction;

•the importance of the transaction to the related party;

•the importance of the transaction to us;

•whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in Civeo’s best interest;

•whether the transaction might affect the status of a director as independent under the independence standards of the NYSE; and

•any other matters deemed appropriate with respect to the particular transaction.

Ultimately, all material related-party transactions must be approved or ratified by the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee of our board of directors. Any member of the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee who is a related party with respect to a transaction would be recused from the review of the transaction.

In addition, we annually distribute a questionnaire to our executive officers and members of our board of directors requesting certain information regarding, among other things, their immediate family members, employment and beneficial ownership interests. This information is then reviewed for any conflicts of interest under the Code of Conduct.

We also have other policies and procedures to prevent conflicts of interest, including related-party transactions. For example, the charter of our Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee requires that the members of such committee assess the independence of the non-management directors at least annually, including a requirement that it determine whether or not any such directors have a material relationship with us, either directly or indirectly, as further described above under “Management—Director Independence.”

To establish restrictions with regard to corporate participation in the political system as imposed by law, the following guidelines are contained in our Code of Conduct:

•None of Civeo’s funds, assets or services will be used for political contributions, directly or indirectly, unless allowed by applicable foreign and U.S. law and approved in advance by our board of directors.

•Any contributions by Civeo to support or oppose public referenda or similar ballot issues are only permitted with advance approval of our board of directors.

•Employees, if eligible under applicable foreign and U.S. law, may make political contributions through legally established Civeo-sponsored-and-approved political support funds. Any such personal contribution is not a deductible expense for federal or other applicable income tax purposes and is not eligible for reimbursement by Civeo as business expense. To the extent permitted by law, Civeo’s resources may be used to establish and administer a political action committee or separate segregated fund. All proposed activities shall be submitted for the review of, and approval by, the board of directors prior to their implementation.

Director Compensation

Process

Our non-employee directors receive compensation for their services on the board of directors. The Compensation Committee conducts annual reviews of director compensation, engages Mercer, LLC ("Mercer"), the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant, to provide market data bi-annually related to director compensation, and makes a recommendation to the board of directors regarding the form and amount of director compensation. Director compensation should be adequate to compensate directors for their time and effort expended in satisfying their obligations. The Compensation Committee does, however, consider that directors' independence may be jeopardized if director compensation and perquisites exceed customary levels, if the Company makes substantial charitable contributions to organizations with which a director is affiliated, or if the Company enters into consulting contracts with (or provides other indirect forms of compensation to) a director or an organization with which the director is affiliated.

Directors who are also our employees do not receive a retainer or fees for service on our board of directors or any committees. Accordingly, Mr. Dodson, a director of Civeo and Civeo’s President and Chief Executive Officer, does not receive separate director compensation.

The table below summarizes the components of 2023 compensation paid by Civeo to non-employee directors:


Component			Non-Employee Director Compensation
Annual Cash Retainer			$75,000
Annual Equity Retainer (1)			Share award equal to $125,000 that vest annually
Chair of the Board Annual Retainer			$85,000 - 50% in cash and 50% in common shares that vest annually
Committee Chair Annual Cash Retainer			Audit - $27,500 Compensation - $23,000 Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating - $23,000 Finance and Investment - $18,000
Committee Member Annual Cash Retainer			Audit - $18,000 Compensation - $13,000 Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating - $13,000 Finance and Investment - $13,000

1.Newly elected non-employee directors receive restricted share awards valued at $125,000 after their initial appointment. In addition, non-employee directors who have served for not less than six months receive additional restricted share awards valued at $125,000 at each annual shareholders’ meeting after which they continue to serve. The non-employee directors’ restricted share awards are valued on the award date based on the closing share price on the award date and vest on the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the next annual shareholders’ meeting date following the date of grant, subject to continued service through such date.

Our non-employee directors are permitted to elect to receive their annual restricted share award in the form of deferred shares, which vest on the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the next annual shareholders’ meeting date following the date of grant, subject to continued service through such date; however, settlement of such deferred shares is deferred until the director’s separation from service.

All of our directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors or committees and for other reasonable expenses related to the performance of their duties as directors, including attendance at pertinent continuing education programs and training. Additionally, we purchase and maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance for, and provide indemnification to, each member of our board of directors.



The Compensation Committee annually reviews director compensation, and uses outside consultants to ensure such compensation is appropriate relative to our peer groups. The review includes, but is not limited to, compensation levels, chair premiums, pay mix and relevant governance trends. In addition, the Environmental, Social, Governance and Nominating Committee annually reviews director compliance with share ownership guidelines.

Share Ownership Guidelines

Non-employee directors are subject to Civeo’s share ownership guidelines pursuant to which they are expected to retain shares from restricted share awards, after payment of applicable taxes, valued at five times the annual retainer amount until retirement or until leaving the board of directors. Unvested restricted shares and deferred shares are counted for purposes of this ownership threshold. Once the ownership guideline is established for a director and communicated, the director has five years to attain the targeted level of ownership. All directors have either attained target level ownership or are expected to attain the targeted level of ownership within the five-year period for compliance.

As of March 18, 2024, all non-employee directors were in compliance with the guidelines as demonstrated in the chart below:


	Ownership in Shares		Compliance Y/N

Executive Compensation



PROPOSAL 2 Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

We are asking that you vote for approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, commonly referred to as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal. As approved by our shareholders at the 2021 annual meeting, consistent with our board of director’s recommendation, we are submitting this proposal for a non-binding vote on an annual basis, and accordingly, unless our board of directors changes its policy, our next Say-on-Pay vote after the annual general meeting is expected to be held at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of shareholders.

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires us to provide an advisory shareholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, as such compensation is disclosed pursuant to the disclosure rules of the SEC. Accordingly, we are providing our shareholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, including under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and the tables and narrative that follow.

We are requesting your nonbinding vote on the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of Civeo’s named executive officers as disclosed in Civeo’s proxy statement for its 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the executive compensation tables and the accompanying narrative discussion.”

As an advisory resolution, our shareholders’ vote on this proposal is not binding on the board of directors or us. Decisions regarding the compensation and benefits of our named executive officers remain with our board of directors and the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee values the opinions of our shareholders, however, and therefore, the Compensation Committee will review the voting results on this proposal and give consideration to the outcome when making future decisions regarding compensation of our named executive officers.



Civeo’s board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the adoption, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers. The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxy FOR the approval of this proposal, unless a contrary choice or abstention is set forth therein or unless such proxy is subject to a broker non-vote with respect to this proposal.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In this section, we describe and discuss our executive compensation program, including the objectives and elements of compensation, as well as determinations made by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors regarding the compensation of our named executive officers ("NEOs") for 2023. Our NEOs for 2023 were:

•Bradley J. Dodson, President and Chief Executive Officer;

•Carolyn J. Stone, Former Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (1);

•Peter L. McCann, Senior Vice President, Australia; and

•Allan D. Schoening, Senior Vice President, Canada

(1) As previously announced, Ms. Stone’s employment was terminated on March 4, 2024. Barclay Brewer, the Company’s Vice President and Controller, was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Executive Overview

In 2023, we executed on our operational, strategic and financial priorities: operating safely, generating significant operating cash flow, reducing our total debt balance and returning capital to shareholders. For the full year 2023, Civeo generated $97 million in Operating Cash Flow and reduced total debt by $66 million to end the year at $66 million of total debt. We also reduced our net leverage ratio to 0.6x at year-end 2023, down from 1.1x at year-end 2022. Due to significant progress made on our debt reduction and the return of $19 million of capital to shareholders we also updated our capital allocation framework in 2023. The new framework was highlighted by the initiation of a quarterly dividend and prioritization of growth opportunities moving forward.

Specific 2023 Accomplishments

From an operational standpoint, the Company’s primary focus in 2023 was, and continues to be, the safety and well-being of our guests and employees. Operationally, Mr. Dodson and our global leadership team’s effective operations in a dynamic environment included the following:

•Continued strong safety performance across all regions, resulting in a full year aggregate Total Recordable Incident Rate ("TRIR") of 0.45, which is significantly better than the U.S. accommodation industry average and equal to our TRIR in 2022.

The Company’s strategic and financial focus remained the same in 2023 as it was in 2022: continue to focus on operating cash flow generation, debt reduction and returning capital to shareholders. Significant financial achievements in 2023 included:

•Generated $97 million of Operating Cash Flow, which represents 103% of the Company's consolidated Operating Cash Flow budget;

•Returned 23% of the company's 2023 free cash flow to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends;

•Reduced total debt by $66 million;

•Decreased our net leverage ratio to 0.6 times at December 31, 2023 from 1.1 times at December 31, 2022;

•Successfully sold McClelland Lake Lodge assets for US$36 million, with additional potential associated revenue generating opportunities under consideration; and

•Secured long term contract extensions and expansions with key clients in Australia.

Our Approach to Compensation

Compensation Governance

In keeping with our commitment to strong governance standards across our business, our executive compensation governance framework is built around the following:

•A Compensation Committee comprised of individuals with deep relevant business experience, all of whom have served as chief executive officers of energy or real estate related companies or as executives at hospitality companies. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent in accordance with NYSE listing standards;

•A clearly defined decision-making framework and delegation of authority that ensures all material compensation decisions for section 16 officers (which includes our NEOs), are made solely by the Compensation Committee, whose priority is to ensure our policies and procedures allow Civeo to attract, reward and retain executives who are focused on delivering long-term results for shareholders; and

•Clearly defined compensation policies structured to accommodate circumstances that are characteristic of a cyclical industry.


32

Executive Compensation

CEO and NEO Compensation Mix

This section outlines each component of our compensation program. Compensation decisions specific to our NEOs for 2023 for each of these components are discussed in greater detail following this section. Overall compensation consists of base salary, annual performance incentive awards and long-term incentive awards.



Base Salary	Annual Incentive Compensation Plan ("AICP")	Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP")


Base salary recognizes the job being performed, executive seniority and tenure and the value of that job in the competitive market. Base salary must be sufficient to attract and retain the executive talent necessary for our success and provides a fixed element of compensation to avoid fluctuations in compensation that could distract our executives from the performance of their responsibilities.	The key objective of Civeo’s AICP is to reward the achievement of defined annual financial and safety objectives and to incentivize employee activities that will continually improve Civeo, both on a business unit and company-wide basis.	Civeo’s LTIP, established under the Equity Participation Plan ("EPP"), provides an additional incentive to executives to grow shareholder value through ownership of Civeo common shares or incentive awards directly linked to Civeo’s share price and supports our efforts to attract and retain highly qualified executives to grow and develop Civeo in our competitive and cyclical industry.

Our Variable Compensation Performance Metrics and Their Relation to Our Strategy


Performance Metrics			How The Performance Metrics Tie to Our Strategy
Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR")			Relative TSR is a valuable metric to assess performance against our peer group over a performance period. The intent is to better align executive pay with shareholder interests.
Divisional EBITDA			EBITDA is widely recognized as a primary valuation and comparable financial metric and, for this reason was, with AICP adjustments, selected as an appropriate financial metric for 2023.
TRIR			TRIR is a globally recognized measure of safety performance. Safety is one of Civeo's core values and therefore it is an important measure of Company performance.
Consolidated Operating Cash Flow			After the Company altered its performance goals utilized under the Company’s LTIP in 2021 to include consolidated operating cash flow as a performance metric, based in part on feedback from our 2020 shareholder engagement efforts, the Company has continued to use consolidated operating cash flow as a performance metric under its LTIP given the Company's continued focus on generating cash flow and reducing leverage.



AICP EBITDA Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. AICP EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain other unusual or non-operating items. Please see Appendix B for a reconciliation of EBITDA to GAAP. Adjustments to EBITDA under the AICP also reflect one-time, unanticipated financial events incurred following approval of the 2023 budget, including unbudgeted variability in stock-based compensation expense, changes in foreign exchange rates and certain other unbudgeted costs (approved by the Compensation Committee). The AICP adjustments to EBITDA in 2023 were consistent with past practices.

Highlights of 2023 Performance and Impact on Executive Compensation

Despite continuing headwinds faced by the energy sector throughout 2023, a number of significant financial and operational objectives were successfully completed through Mr. Dodson’s leadership. On the financial front, we continued to strengthen our balance sheet, reduce our leverage and returned capital to shareholders through continued share repurchases and the initiation of a quarterly dividend while navigating a challenging economic landscape. In particular, during 2023 we achieved the following:

Reduced total debt by $66 million from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023

Decreased our net leverage ratio to 0.6 times at December 31, 2023, from 1.1 times at December 31, 2022

Generated $97 million of Operating Cash Flow during the year

Returned 23% of the Company's 2023 free cash flow to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends

Initiated a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share as part the Company's updated capital allocation strategy

The Company achieved continuing improvements in a number of areas of the business including the following:



Successfully sold McClelland Lake Lodge assets for $36 million						Secured a 5-year contract award in our Australia owned-villages valued at approximately A$337 million



Continued strong safety performance across all regions, resulting in a 2023 Global TRIR of 0.45, considerably better than the U.S. accommodation industry average of 4.1						Overall revenues increased 21% in Australia in 2023


AICP EBITDA (in millions)						TOTAL RECORDABLE INCIDENT RATE

Shareholder Engagement

Throughout the year, we meet with our shareholders to solicit their feedback on our performance, capital structure and pay plans as well as to share our perspective. The Company’s management maintains routine dialogue with its investors regarding operations, strategy, total leverage and financial results. Throughout 2023, management engaged with shareholders representing over 58% of our outstanding shares.

Say-On-Pay Vote

At our 2023 annual meeting, we obtained 90.75% approval by our shareholders casting votes on our Say-on-Pay proposal (excluding abstentions). Our Compensation Committee considered this high level of support in making its compensation-related decisions in 2023, and did not make any specific changes to our compensation program as a result of the final say-on-pay vote, but has made the below adjustments to the program commencing in 2024.

Executive Compensation

Changes to the Compensation Program for 2024

With the changes in the Company's primary strategic focus from debt reduction to growth, Compensation Committee has made some adjustments to both the Short Term and Long Term Incentive programs for NEOs for 2024:

•Historically, overachievement for AICP was achieved at 120% of budget. For 2024 and going forward, overachievement will be measured against the greater of (1) 120% of the current year's budgeted EBITDA or (2) the prior year's actual AICP EBITDA performance. Entry will continue to be calculated based on achieving 85% of budgeted EBITDA and target AICP remains unchanged on achieving 100% of budgeted EBITDA. With the change in focus, the over achievement targets were adjusted to encourage year-over-year growth.

•Long Term Incentive awards to NEOs will be changing in two ways. First, the distribution of time based and performance based awards will be changing using a phased in approach. For 2024, the distribution of performance based awards will increase from 50% to 60% and time based awards will reduce from 50% to 40%. For 2025, performance based awards will increase from 60% to 70% and time based awards will reduce from 40% to 30%. Additionally, the performance based awards will now be measured based on 30% relative TSR performance metric and 70% three-year growth in EBITDA, this being a change from 50% relative TSR and 50% Operating Cash Flow in 2023.

We believe these changes further align and directly link our executive compensation program with the Company’s performance and will be in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders.

Executive Compensation

Executive Compensation Best Practices

The following table lists key policies and practices of our executive compensation program, which we believe align the interests of management with those of our shareholders and are best practices in compensation and governance.


What We Do		What We Don’t Do

Use an independent consultant to ensure overall executive compensation is market competitive Provide a balanced executive pay mix including long-term incentives, 50% of which are generally performance-based for NEOs and provide at-risk compensation tied directly to financial and share price performance Rigorous performance measures for executive compensation each year, whether absolute or relative, and set performance goals that we believe are reasonable in light of market conditions Cap payouts under all performance incentives. Beginning in 2021, all future performance share awards are capped at 100% payout (Target), if Civeo's absolute TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance Maintain a clawback policy that allows the Company to recoup incentive-based compensation in the case of a material financial restatement due to material non-compliance with applicable reporting requirements. In addition to minimum NEO share ownership requirements, the share ownership policy requires NEOs to hold at least 50% of the net vested Civeo shares (after tax withholding) for 12 months after the date of vesting	Permit directors or officers to buy or sell puts, calls or options in respect of our securities, or pledge shares (including holding shares in a margin account) Provide excise tax gross-ups in any executive or change of control agreement entered into following our spin-off from Oil States International in May 2014 Apply severance multipliers in excess of 3x Utilize liberal share recycling in our long-term incentive plan Reprice stock options or stock appreciation rights without shareholder approval Provide single-trigger vesting of equity awards upon a change of control Provide unreasonably long terms for options

We expect that over time, the governance landscape will continue to evolve and require both refinement of existing policies and adoption of new ones. Our Compensation Committee is committed to staying current with evolving governance standards and, where it feels that changes are warranted, to respond accordingly.

Design and Structure of Executive Compensation

Our Business and Our Compensation Philosophy

Civeo’s philosophy regarding its executive compensation programs for NEOs is to provide a comprehensive and competitive total compensation program with the following objectives:

To attract, motivate, reward and retain executives with the experience and talent to achieve our short-term goals and objectives and successfully execute our longer-term strategic plans

To reinforce the linkage between individual performance of executives and business results

To align the interests of executives with the long-term interests of our shareholders

To ensure compensation does not promote overly conservative actions nor excessive risk taking

Civeo’s total compensation program uses a combination of base salary, annual performance incentives and long-term equity-based incentives to achieve the four objectives described above. We target peer group median pay levels for all components of executive compensation; however, when warranted in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, awards above or below median levels of our peer group may be approved.

Peer Group and Benchmarking

The Compensation Committee engages Mercer as its independent compensation consultant, which uses a peer group of companies with similar customers and activity drivers to Civeo to benchmark executive compensation. The peer group includes companies in the oil and gas, mining and other natural resource industries. These peers typically will be exposed to the cyclical nature of the natural resources market that impacts Civeo’s business and financial results.

The primary review and selection criteria for the peer group includes the following: revenue size, market value, enterprise value, number of employees, business/operational characteristics and geographic footprint. The graphic below summarizes the 2023 peer group based on certain of these metrics as of December 31, 2023 (U.S. dollars in millions).

COMPENSATION PEER GROUP

In late 2022, Mercer reviewed Civeo’s peer group of companies used for benchmarking purposes and to assess the ongoing competitiveness and suitability of Civeo’s compensation programs and practices. Following that review, Mercer recommended that the current peer group remain unchanged for 2023 with the exception of the removal of Exterran Corporation, as it was acquired by Enerflex Ltd. The Compensation Committee approved the recommendation and used the following peer group for compensation evaluation purposes for 2023.

2023/ 2024

Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd.

Black Diamond Group Limited

Dexterra Group Inc.

Enerflex Ltd.

Forum Energy Technologies, Inc.

Matrix Service Company

McGrath RentCorp

Newpark Resources, Inc.

Nine Energy Service, Inc.

North American Construction Group Ltd.

Oil States International, Inc.

Precision Drilling Corporation

Select Water Solutions, Inc.

Target Hospitality Corp.

TETRA Technologies, Inc.

Total Energy Services Inc.

2024 Peer Group

In late 2023, Mercer reviewed Civeo’s peer group of companies used for benchmarking purposes and to assess the ongoing competitiveness and suitability of Civeo’s compensation programs and practices. Following that review, Mercer recommended that the current peer group remain unchanged for 2024, as the screening process did not identify any existing peers that should be removed or additions that should be considered. The Compensation Committee approved the recommendation to keep the current peer group to be used by the Compensation Committee for compensation evaluation purposes for 2024.

Compensation and Risk Management

Civeo’s compensation programs have been designed to (i) promote financial, operational and organizational growth, while giving due consideration to broader enterprise risk management issues and (ii) maintain a balance between short and long-term incentive compensation, company growth, shareholder returns and risk. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, retains full authority to adjust any aspect of Civeo’s compensation programs.

Our Compensation Committee has reviewed our compensation policies and believes that our policies do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking, and that the level of risk that they do encourage is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Compensation Committee performs this assessment annually.

Our compensation philosophy and culture support the use of base salary, certain performance-based compensation plans and benefit programs that are generally consistent in design and operation with those of our peer companies in the markets where we operate. These compensation policies and practices are centrally designed and administered by the Compensation Committee. The following specific factors, in particular, reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking:

•Our overall executive compensation levels are competitive with the market, based on information provided by Mercer and reviewed by the Compensation Committee;

•Our executive compensation mix is balanced among (i) fixed components including salary and benefits, (ii) capped annual incentives that reward our overall financial and operating performance and (iii) long-term incentives, at least 50% of which are generally performance-based for NEOs, to more closely align executive compensation with shareholder interests and to provide for a substantial portion of at-risk compensation in relation to share price performance;

•We implement what our Compensation Committee believes to be rigorous performance measures for executive compensation each year, whether absolute or relative, and set performance goals that we believe are reasonable in light of market conditions; and

•We have established maximum award levels as a cap on performance incentives. The Compensation Committee caps performance shares at 100% payout (Target), for this portion of the award, if Civeo’s TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance.

In summary, although a portion of the compensation provided to our NEOs is based on our overall performance or division performance, we believe our compensation programs do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking by our NEOs (or other employees) because these programs are designed to encourage employees to remain focused on both our short and long-term operational, financial and safety goals. In addition, we believe that our share ownership, hedging and clawback policies also mitigate risk.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Program Components

This section outlines each of the components of our compensation program for each of our NEOs for 2023. Overall compensation consists of base salary, annual performance incentive awards and long-term incentive awards.

Base Salary

Base salaries form the foundation of Civeo’s compensation program. Base salary recognizes the job being performed and the value of that job in the competitive market. Base salary must be sufficient to attract and retain the executive talent necessary for our success and provides an element of compensation that is fixed to avoid fluctuations in compensation that could distract our executives from the performance of their responsibilities. Base salaries for NEOs are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and, where deemed appropriate, adjusted to reflect competitive market conditions, as well as other internal factors, including performance, seniority, tenure, internal equity and changes to job scope and responsibility. In general, base salaries are targeted at median levels compared to comparable positions within our peer group of companies but vary from this reference point when and where deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.

Base salaries, as in effect on December 31, 2023, and target AICP levels for 2023, are set forth below for each named executive officer. Adjustments to NEO compensation are considered by the Compensation Committee in consultation with Mercer. The Compensation Committee considers market data, executive tenure in the role, performance and other internal equity factors when recommending changes to NEO compensation.


Name	Position	Base Salary (USD) (1)		Target AICP (% of base salary)
Bradley J. Dodson	President and Chief Executive Officer	$	750,000	100%
Carolyn J. Stone	Former Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer	$	425,000	70%
Peter L. McCann	Senior Vice President, Australia	$	299,070	70%
Allan D. Schoening	Senior Vice President, Canada	$	377,961	70%

(1) Mr. McCann is paid in Australian dollars and Mr. Schoening is paid in Canadian dollars. Their respective base salaries have been converted to U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of $0.6646 U.S. dollar per Australian dollar and $0.7411 U.S. dollar per Canadian dollar, respectively, which reflect the average exchange rates for each currency for 2023.

Annual Incentive Compensation Plan

The key objective of Civeo’s AICP is to reward the achievement of defined annual financial and safety objectives and to incentivize employee activities that will continually improve Civeo, both on a business unit and company-wide basis. Awards made under the AICP are designed to represent a material component of target total cash compensation for our NEOs.

Under the AICP, the Compensation Committee establishes an incentive target, expressed as a percent of base salary, for each executive officer based upon, among other factors including geographic market differences, the Compensation Committee’s review of publicly available competitive compensation data for each position, level of responsibility and ability to impact or influence business results. For 2023, achieving results which exceeded a minimum, or threshold, level of performance triggered an AICP payout. Performance results at or below threshold (i.e., typically achieving a percentage of 85% or less of the related AICP performance objective) results in no AICP award. A target award is earned when an executive achieves 100% of his or her safety and financial performance objectives. Overachievement is earned when performance results are above 100% of budgeted safety and financial performance, with the maximum being 120%. Where performance results fall between the threshold and target level, a pro rata percentage of the target amount is paid out. Where performance results fall between the target and maximum level, 100-200% of the target amount is paid out proportionately.

Executive Compensation

At the beginning of each year, our Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending for approval by our board of directors, quantifiable corporate performance objectives, including those specific to our Chief Executive Officer. At the end of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews Civeo’s performance results, as well as AICP awards to be paid to each NEO and, in aggregate, to other AICP participants. In its sole discretion, the Compensation Committee interprets all provisions of the AICP and has authority to make positive or negative adjustments in individual, business unit or Civeo’s consolidated results.

The following performance metrics formed the basis for AICP award determinations for our NEOs for 2023:

For AICP purposes in 2023, performance metrics consisted of two financial metrics, budgeted Consolidated AICP EBITDA and budgeted Divisional AICP EBITDA (or, for certain executives, just one financial metric, budgeted Consolidated AICP EBITDA), and one metric based on safety performance as measured by TRIR. Consistent with industry and regulatory standards, the calculation of TRIR is based on the number of recordable safety incidents per 200,000 hours worked. The following threshold, target, and over-achievement performance goals were used for determining payouts for our NEOs under the 2023 AICP (dollars in millions):


	Threshold		Target		Over Achievement			Actual Achievement
Consolidated AICP EBITDA (in USD)	$	79.7	$	93.8	$	112.6	$	119.7
Division EBITDA Targets
Canada (in CAD)	$	57.7	$	67.9	$	81.5	$	95.3
Australia (in AUD)	$	87.7	$	103.1	$	123.8	$	111.2
Global TRIR Targets		0.89		0.70		0.40		0.45

For 2023, specific adjustments to EBITDA included impairment expenses, expenses related to unbudgeted variability in stock-based compensation expense, changes in foreign exchange rates, net gains associated with the sale of the McClelland Lake Lodge and mobile camp demobilization costs that were deferred into future years. The adjustments to EBITDA in 2023 were consistent with past practices.

The 2023 global safety TRIR target was set at a more challenging level by lowering the target to 0.70 as compared to the target set in 2022 of 0.72. The global safety target is a consolidation of the various region specific TRIR goals from Australia, Canada and the United States.

In 2023, the following performance results under the AICP were considered for award determination purposes:

•Consolidated AICP EBITDA of US $119.7 million (127.6% of budget);

•AICP EBITDA for our Canadian division of CAD $95.3 million (140.4% of budget);

•AICP EBITDA for our Australian division of AUD $111.2 million (107.9% of budget); and

•TRIR safety performance achievement of 183% payout for Consolidated; 188% payout for Canada and 177% payout for Australia.

Based on these results, the following AICP payouts were approved by the Compensation Committee. These payouts are stated in U.S. dollars. Mr. McCann’s bonus, which is paid out in Australian dollars, has been converted to U.S. dollars below at an exchange rate of $0.6646 U.S. dollar per Australian dollar, the average exchange rate for 2023. Mr. Schoening’s bonus, which is paid out in Canadian dollars, has been converted to U.S. dollars below at an exchange rate of $0.7411 U.S. dollar per Canadian dollar, the average exchange rate for 2023.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Civeo’s LTIP, established under the EPP, is designed to provide an additional incentive to executives to grow shareholder value through ownership of Civeo common shares or incentive awards directly linked to Civeo’s share price and to support our efforts to attract and retain highly qualified executives to grow and develop Civeo in our highly competitive and cyclical industry. The EPP provides for the grant of any combination of restricted share awards, restricted share units, performance awards, dividend equivalents, phantom share awards, deferred share awards, share payments or options. Broadly speaking, we award three types of long-term incentives to balance liquidity and dilution considerations and to ensure we deliver tax effective incentives to plan participants. These awards may be cash or share settled, depending on their type. For 2023, all NEOs received equity awards made up of 50% time-based phantom share units and 50% cliff-vested performance share awards. All long-term incentive awards made to employees are generally subject to a three-year vesting period, with time-based awards vesting in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant and performance-based awards vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to achievement of the applicable performance goals. All awards are subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee.

In determining the value of award levels, the ratio of long-term incentives as a percentage of base salary is considered relative to a range of factors including market competitiveness, internal equity and individual performance. Generally, long-term incentive award values increase with position responsibility and are intended to comprise a larger component of an executive’s total direct compensation as his or her responsibility increases.

For 2023, Civeo granted a combination of phantom share units and performance-based share awards as long-term incentive awards to its NEOs and other key employees. The value of awards made to individuals in this group took into consideration the following factors:

•Corporate, business unit and individual performance;

•Competitive market practice;

•Executive retention;

•Impact of awards and quantum of awards on dilution and liquidity; and

•Tax considerations in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

LTIP awards approved by the Compensation Committee were made at levels consistent with past practices.


Name	Position	Phantom Share Units	Performance Share Awards at Target	Stock Price at Date of Grant ($)		Valuation(1)
Bradley J. Dodson	President and Chief Executive Officer	40,459	40,459	$	31.05	$	2,811,698

(1)This column shows the full grant date fair value of the phantom share units and performance share awards as computed under FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation and granted to the NEOs during 2023. Generally, the grant date fair value is the amount that Civeo would expense in its financial statements over the vesting schedule of the awards. For purposes of the phantom share units, the value in this column is based upon the closing share price on the date of grant. See Note 19 to Civeo’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for additional detail regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards.

Calculation of our relative TSR is conducted by a third party designated by the Compensation Committee following completion of the three-year performance period and includes all dividends paid over the performance period.

Payouts under the performance shares are capped at 100% payout (Target) for the relative TSR component, if Civeo’s absolute TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance. Starting in 2021, the Compensation Committee added a performance metric, cumulative free cash flow relative to a preset target, to the performance share awards, due in part to the feedback from our 2020 shareholder engagement efforts as well as the Company’s current focus on generating cash flow and reducing leverage. The performance metrics for the 2021 grant were weighted 30% to cumulative free cash flow and 70% to relative TSR. For 2022 and 2023, the Compensation Committee changed this additional financial performance metric to cumulative operating cash flow relative to a preset target. The performance metrics for the 2022 and 2023 grants were weighted 50% to cumulative operating cash flow and 50% to relative TSR.

Performance share awards can be earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, with the payout percentage to be determined based on Civeo’s performance with respect to the applicable performance metrics.

All performance share awards have been approved by the Compensation Committee and the board of directors. Due to the Company's share price and the Compensation Committee's desire to limit shareholder dilution, no performance share awards were granted in 2020; cliff-vesting cash awards were granted to executives. These cash awards vested and were paid in 2023. For those performance share awards that were granted in 2021, the performance period is January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. For those performance share awards that were granted in 2022, the performance period is January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. For those performance share awards that were granted in 2023, the performance period is January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025.

All long-term incentive awards under the EPP are expensed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation”). Except in special circumstances, long-term incentive awards are made to participants in these plans annually.

Other Compensation

Benefit Plans

Civeo’s employee benefit plans are designed from a market competitive perspective with the objective of attracting and retaining talented employees. The Compensation Committee conducts periodic reviews of Civeo’s employee benefit plans to ensure the plans meet these objectives and where, in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion, the Compensation Committee believes changes to these plans are warranted, the Compensation Committee will authorize such changes.

Civeo’s health and welfare benefits are provided to all North American employees, including U.S. and Canada-based executives. These benefits include comprehensive coverage for medical, prescription drug, vision and dental expenses, as well as life insurance, long-term disability, accidental death and dismemberment, business travel, employee assistance and flexible spending accounts. Contributions for these benefits, except the flexible spending account program, are based on a cost-sharing model between the employee and Civeo and are the same for employees and executives. In Australia, health benefits are provided through the government funded program.

Retirement Plans

Civeo offers a defined contribution 401(k) retirement plan to all of its U.S. employees, including its U.S.-based executives. Those participating in the plan can make contributions from their base salaries and cash incentive eligible compensation up to annual limits defined by the IRS. Civeo makes matching contributions under this plan on the first 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation, providing a 100% match on the employee’s contribution up to 4% of his or her eligible compensation and a 50% match on the employee’s contribution up to an additional 2% of the employee’s eligible compensation. A similar defined contribution plan, which uses the same contribution formula, is in place in Canada and is structured pursuant to regulations established by the Canadian Revenue Agency. In Australia, employees and executives must contribute 10.5% of base salary (and may make additional contributions up to an annual capped limit established by the Australia Taxation Office) to a superannuation fund administered by the Government.

Other Perquisites and Personal Benefits

In general, Civeo does not offer any executive perquisites or other personal benefits with an aggregate annual value over $10,000. Some executives are provided paid club memberships, which are used for business purposes.

Procedures for Determining Compensation

Executive Compensation Decision-Making and Approval Process

All executive compensation decisions for NEOs are made on behalf of Civeo solely by the Compensation Committee. Where appropriate, the Compensation Committee engages Mercer to research and make recommendations on issues considered important to executive compensation, as well as to provide the Compensation Committee with insights on evolving compensation trends in relevant industry sectors.

Role of Executive Officers

The Compensation Committee consults our Chief Executive Officer in its determination of compensation matters related to the Company's designated Section 16 officers. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee on matters such as salary adjustments, target annual incentive opportunities and the value of long-term incentive awards for all other executives officers. In making his recommendations, the Chief Executive Officer considers such factors as experience level, individual performance, overall contribution to company performance and market data for similar positions. The Compensation Committee takes the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations under advisement; however, the Compensation Committee makes all final decisions regarding such compensation matters. Our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation is reviewed annually and determined solely by the Compensation Committee, giving due consideration to performance against goals and objectives and other factors the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee engages Mercer as its independent compensation consultant. Subsequent to its initial engagement of Mercer, the Compensation Committee has reviewed and confirmed its selection of Mercer on an annual basis.

Mercer’s role is to advise the Compensation Committee on matters relating to executive compensation and to help guide, develop and implement our executive compensation programs. Mercer reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and any requests management may have of Mercer throughout the course of its engagement must be approved by the Compensation Committee before any work is undertaken. Mercer has performed work for Civeo outside of the scope of its engagement by the Compensation Committee, but the Compensation Committee reviews and approves all such assignments to ensure that the independence of its compensation consultant is not compromised. The Compensation Committee conducted a review of its relationship with Mercer in 2023 and determined that Mercer’s work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest or independence concerns, consistent with the guidance provided under the Dodd-Frank Act and by the SEC and NYSE. In making this determination, the Compensation Committee noted that during 2023:

•Mercer did not provide any services to Civeo or management other than services requested by or with the approval of the Compensation Committee;

•Mercer maintains a conflicts policy, which was provided to the Compensation Committee, with specific policies and procedures designed to ensure independence;

•Fees paid to Mercer by Civeo during 2023 were less than 1% of Mercer’s total revenue;

•None of the Mercer consultants working on matters with us had any business or personal relationship with Compensation Committee members (other than in connection with working on matters with us);

•None of the Mercer consultants working on matters with us (or any consultants at Mercer) had any business or personal relationship with any of our executive officers; and

•None of the Mercer consultants working on matters with us own our common shares.

Since 2015, the Compensation Committee also annually approved the engagement of Mercer to provide benefits consulting services to Civeo. The decision to engage the consultant for these additional services was recommended by management, but approved by the Compensation Committee. During 2023, fees paid to Mercer in the form of commissions by our Canadian insurer and retirement plan fund manager totaled $47,718 and $15,777, respectively, for benefits consulting services provided to our Canadian operations. During 2023, fees paid to Mercer in the form of commissions by our U.S. insurers and retirement plan administrator totaled $115,683 and $30,651, respectively, for benefits consulting services provided to our U.S. operations. In the opinion of the Compensation Committee, the scale of these fees ($209,829 in the aggregate) does not compromise Mercer’s independence with regards to executive and director compensation advisory services it provides directly to the Compensation Committee. This independence is and will continue to be monitored on an ongoing basis. Fees paid to Mercer for compensation consulting services to the Compensation Committee totaled $164,948 in 2023.

Executive and Change of Control Agreements

Civeo maintains Executive Agreements with Messrs. Dodson and McCann and a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Schoening. Ms. Stone was also party to a Change of Control Agreement prior to her termination of employment in March 2024. These agreements are not considered long-term employment agreements. Our U.S. executives are employed “at will” by Civeo. The agreements provide protection in the event of a qualified termination, which is defined as an (i) involuntary termination of the executive officer by Civeo other than for Cause (as defined in each agreement) or (ii) a voluntary termination by the executive for Good Reason during a specified period of time after a corporate “Change of Control” (as defined in each agreement) of Civeo. The triggering events were selected due to the executive not having complete control in either of these circumstances. Executives exercise control over their circumstances when they resign voluntarily without Good Reason or are terminated for Cause. As a result, these events do not trigger any payments.

The Change of Control provisions under both types of agreements are intended to encourage continued employment by Civeo of its executive officers and minimize distractions around related uncertainties and risks created by a proposed Change of Control. Unlike “single-trigger” arrangements that pay out immediately upon a change of control, Civeo’s agreements require a “double-trigger” (i.e., a change of control along with a qualifying loss of employment). Where a qualified termination occurs during the protection period following a Change of Control, the agreements provide for a lump-sum payment to the executive based on the executive officer's base salary and target annual incentive amount in place on the date of termination. Under the terms of their Executive Agreements, Messrs. Dodson and McCann are each entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to two times their base salary and target annual incentive amount if a qualified termination occurs during the 18-month (or 24-month for Mr. Dodson) protection period following a Change of Control. Where a qualified termination occurs outside the protection period following a Change of Control, Messrs. Dodson and McCann will be entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to one year’s base salary and target annual bonus amount as well as other benefits described below. Under the terms of Mr. Schoening’s Change of Control Agreement (and Ms. Stone's agreement prior to her termination), each officer is entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to 2 times his or her base salary and annual incentive amount if a qualified termination occurs during the 18-month period following a Change of Control.

In addition, the agreements provide that all restricted stock awards, restricted share units, performance shares, deferred shares, phantom units, options and other equity-based awards will vest immediately, that all restrictions on such awards will lapse upon a qualifying termination during the protection period following a Change of Control and that outstanding options will remain exercisable for a period of 90 days. The executive officer will also be entitled to (A) in the case of Messrs. Dodson and Schoening (and, prior to her termination Ms. Stone), health benefits until the earlier of (i) 36 months (in the case of Mr. Dodson) or 12 months (in the case of Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone) and (ii) the date the executive began receiving comparable benefits from a subsequent employer, (B) in the case of Messrs. Dodson, and Schoening (and, prior to her termination Ms. Stone), vesting of all employer contributions to our 401(k) plan to the extent not already vested and (C) for each of Messrs. Dodson, McCann and Schoening (and, prior to her termination Ms. Stone), outplacement services equal to a maximum of 15% of the executive’s salary at the time of termination until the earliest to occur of (i) December 31 of the second calendar year following the year of termination and (ii) the date the executive accepts subsequent employment. Where a qualified termination occurs outside of the protection period following a Change of Control, (1) Mr. Dodson’s Executive Agreement provides that all restricted stock awards, restricted share units, performance shares, deferred shares, phantom units, options and other equity-based awards will vest immediately, that all restrictions on such awards will lapse and that he will be entitled to health benefits until the earlier of (x) 24 months and (y) the date the Mr. Dodson began receiving comparable benefits from a subsequent employer and (2) Mr. McCann’s Executive Agreement provides for the full vesting of all restricted stock awards, restricted share units, performance shares, deferred shares, phantom units, options and other equity-based awards to the extent that such equity-based award would have vested over the year following his termination in accordance with their terms. The executive agreement entered into with Mr. Dodson in 2006 while employed by Oil States International Inc. entitled Mr. Dodson to be made whole for any excise taxes incurred with respect to severance payments that were in excess of the limits set forth under the Internal Revenue Code. No excise tax gross-up protection is available to any other named executive officer. See “Potential Payments Under Termination or Change of Control” in this proxy statement for additional disclosures of severance and Change of Control payments for NEOs.

Civeo’s Executive Agreements have a term of three years, Mr. Schoening's Change of Control Agreement has a term of two years and each of the agreements are extended automatically for one additional day on a daily basis, unless notice of non-extension is served by the board of directors. Where notice is served, the agreement will terminate on the third anniversary, or the second anniversary in the case of Mr. Schoening of the date notice was given. To receive benefits under the Executive Agreement or Change of Control Agreement, the executive officer is required to execute a release of all claims against Civeo.

With respect to outstanding performance share awards, in the event a Change of Control of Civeo occurs prior to the end of a performance period, the payout percentage will be determined by the Compensation Committee as if the date of the change of control were the last day of the performance period. In determining the payout percentage, the performance multiplier to be applied will be the percentile performance which is attained through the date of Change of Control. Payout of performance share awards will be made following the completion of the performance period subject to the participant’s continued employment through the end of the performance period. Should, however, the participant’s employment be terminated (1) by Civeo without Cause or by the participant for Good Reason (as defined in the Performance Share Award Program) or (2) as a result of the participant’s death or disability, in either case following a Change of Control and prior to the payout of performance share


			2023 Proxy Statement			45

Executive Compensation

awards, then the participant is entitled to payout of the performance share award under terms provided within the Performance Share Award Program.

In addition, on July 26, 2022, Civeo entered into a retention commitment agreement with Mr. Schoening, which was amended in October 2023 (as amended “Retention Agreement”). The Retention Agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Schoening’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause (as defined in his Change of Control Agreement) at any time prior to December 31, 2024 (the “Retention Date”), then, subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Schoening will receive: (1) a cash lump sum equal to the amount of Mr. Schoening’s base salary that he would have received over the period commencing on his termination date and ending on the Retention Date, (2) a cash lump sum equal to Mr. Schoening’s target bonus for each annual bonus period ending prior to the Retention Date (3) accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards (except that any performance-based equity awards will continue to vest based on actual performance and remain outstanding for the applicable performance period), and (4) continued medical and dental benefits at coverage levels that are at least equal to those provided to Mr. Schoening and his dependents immediately prior to Mr. Schoening’s termination of employment until the Retention Date. The Agreement also provides that if Mr. Schoening’s employment with the Company terminates following the Retention Date, he may elect to enter into a consulting relationship with the Company to provide part-time advisory and support services. During any such consulting period Mr. Schoening’s then outstanding equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. If Mr. Schoening’s consulting relationship is terminated without Cause, all of Mr. Schoening’s then unvested equity awards will immediately accelerate in full. In the event that Mr. Schoening’s employment is terminated in connection with a Change in Control of the Company at any time prior to the Retention Date, the Change of Control Agreement will supersede the Agreement and Mr. Schoening will only be entitled to any payments and benefits due to him under the Change of Control Agreement. Mr. Schoening announced his intention to retire from the Company effective December 31, 2024.

For additional information on non-change of control severance payments available under the Executive Agreements as well as additional information on these benefits, see the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below.

Carolyn Stone Separation

As previously announced, the Company terminated Ms. Stone’s employment without cause effective March 4, 2024. In connection with her termination of employment, Ms. Stone and the Company entered into a Separation, Waiver and Release Agreement (the “Stone Separation Agreement”) pursuant to which she will receive: (i) a lump sum cash severance payment of $690,467.32; (ii) reimbursement of the difference between (a) the amount paid by Ms. Stone for continued medical and dental coverage for herself and her dependents under COBRA, for up to 12 months following the Separation Date; and (b) the contribution amounts paid by active employees for such medical and dental coverage, with such reimbursements to be provided to Ms. Stone by the Company in two lump sum payments within 30 days following September 4, 2024 and March 4, 2025; (iii) outplacement services at an aggregate cost not to exceed $20,000; and (iv) a supplemental lump sum cash payment of $423,650, in recognition of the value of certain outstanding phantom share units and performance share awards that were forfeited upon her termination. The Separation Agreement also includes a general release of claims in favor of the Company and confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants. Ms. Stone forfeited all outstanding, unvested equity awards upon her termination.

Accounting Considerations

All equity awards to our employees, including executive officers, and to our directors will be granted and reflected in our consolidated financial statements, based upon the applicable accounting guidance, at fair market value on the grant date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation.

Policies and Practices

The following are key policies and practices of our executive compensation program, which we believe align the interests of management with those of our shareholders and are best practices in compensation and governance.

Equity Awards Pricing

Civeo’s practice is to price awards at not less than the closing price on the date of grant.

Insider Trading and Hedging Policy

Civeo prohibits directors, officers and other employees from trading Civeo’s securities on the basis of or in the possession of material, non-public information or “tipping” others who may so trade on such information. In addition, the policy prohibits directors, officers and designated managers from trading in Civeo’s securities without obtaining prior approval from Civeo’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Furthermore, Civeo’s hedging policy notes that hedging transactions can be accomplished through a number of possible mechanisms, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds. Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from entering into any hedging transactions involving Civeo securities. Directors, officers, and employees are also prohibited from engaging in short sales or trading in options or other derivative securities related to and pledging or margining Civeo securities.


46

Executive Compensation

Clawback Policy

Under Civeo’s clawback policy, in the event that Civeo is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to Civeo’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws, Civeo will, subject to limited exceptions, recover the amount of any applicable incentive-based compensation received by an executive covered by the policy during the applicable recovery period (generally the prior three completed fiscal years) that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial statements. The clawback policy is intended to comply with, and will be administered and interpreted consistent with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 and applicable NYSE listing standards.

Executive Share Ownership Requirements

Civeo has established executive share ownership requirements to further align the interests of key executives with those of its shareholders. Our Executive Share Ownership Guidelines require our executives to attain ownership of shares equal in value to an amount calculated based on a multiple of the executive’s base salary, as set forth below:


Chief Executive Officer
Other Named Executive Officers
Other Section 16 Officers

Executives who are covered by these guidelines have five years to reach their respective share ownership levels. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee monitors compliance with these guidelines. As of March 18, 2024, all current executive officers were in compliance with the guidelines as demonstrated in the chart below.

Executive Retention and Succession Planning

The Compensation Committee is sensitive to the critical importance of key employee and executive retention, recognizing the costs, potential impacts and replacement challenges that accompany the loss of talented leadership particularly in a difficult market environment. Each year executive retention is carefully considered by the Compensation Committee in arriving at its long-term incentive award determinations for our NEOs, all of which remained consistent with our past practices.

The board of directors and Compensation Committee regularly discuss, prepare and advance the Company’s succession plan. The board of directors regularly interacts with the Company’s senior management team, including senior team members below the named executive officer level, to enhance its view of the Company’s talent pool and the necessary development needs of each high potential employee within the framework of achieving the Company’s strategic goals. In addition, in the past, the board of directors has used outside consultants to assess, benchmark and propose development plans for the Company’s high potential employees. The Company has a plan in place to address interim successor, long-term successor and development and support plans for each. This succession plan is reviewed regularly by both the board of directors and the Compensation Committee for necessary changes and the development progress of potential successors.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with Civeo’s management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this proxy statement. Based on that review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

(1)Compensation reported for Mr. McCann, other than share awards, was made in Australian dollars and is reflected in this table in U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for each year. The U.S. dollar to Australian dollar average exchange rate for 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $0.6646, $0.6947, and $0.7517 respectively.

(2)Compensation reported for Mr. Schoening, other than share awards, was made in Canadian dollars and is reflected in this table in U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for each year. The U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar average exchange rate for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $0.7411, $0.7689 and $0.7979 respectively.

(3)As previously announced, Ms. Stone’s employment was terminated without cause on March 4, 2024, and she was succeeded by Barclay Brewer, the Company’s Vice President and Controller, who was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer.

(4)The amounts shown in this column reflect a one-time cash payment made to each of the NEOs in 2023 in settlement of time-vested cash bonus awards granted in 2020 in lieu of performance shares. Performance shares were not granted in 2020 given the number of shares then available under the EPP, the Company's stock price at the time and feedback from the Company’s largest investors regarding potential dilution. Pursuant to SEC rules, these 2020 awards are required to be shown as compensation for the year earned and paid, whereas the full grant date fair value of performance shares is typically reported as compensation in the year of grant.

(5)This column represents the dollar amounts, for the years shown, of the aggregate grant date fair value of performance shares and phantom share units, as applicable, granted in those years computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation. Generally, the aggregate grant date fair value is the aggregate amount that Civeo expects to expense in its financial statements over the award’s vesting schedule and, for performance share awards, is based on the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions, and does not necessarily correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the NEOs. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. These amounts reflect Civeo’s future accounting expense for these awards and options, and do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the NEOs. See Note 19 to Civeo’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for additional detail regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards. If the maximum performance level were achieved for the performance shares included in this column, the following amounts, including phantom share units, would have been included for Messrs. Dodson, McCann, Schoening and Ms. Stone, respectively in 2023, $3,768,756, $586,721, $853,875 and $1,083,769.

(6)Amounts for “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” were earned for the applicable fiscal year pursuant to Civeo’s AICP and were paid to each of the NEOs in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For a description of Civeo’s AICP, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Program Components—Annual Incentive Compensation Plan.” Ms. Stone's amount for 2022 also includes a project bonus of $30,000.

(7) The amounts shown in the “All Other Compensation” column reflect the following for each NEO for 2023:

Dodson, Schoening and Ms. Stone pursuant to the 401(k) Retirement Plan and Canadian Retirement Plan, as more fully described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis Compensation Program Components—Retirement Plans” and “—Deferred Compensation Plan,” included herein. For Mr. McCann, represents a contribution to his Australian Superannuation fund as required by Australian law. For Mr. Schoening, such amount also reflects additional contributions made to our Canadian Non-Registered Savings Plan in excess of contribution limits applicable to the Canadian Retirement Plan under the Canadian Tax Act.

(b)The amounts shown in the “Other” column for Mr. Dodson include $2,418 in imputed income attributable to life insurance benefits. The amounts shown in the “Other" column for Ms. Stone include $2,402 in imputed income attributable to life insurance benefits.

	Phantom Units	2/23/2023										11,634	$	361,236

(1)The amounts shown in the columns “Threshold”, “Target” and “Maximum” reflect the threshold, target and maximum levels of bonus payable under the AICP (see discussion in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Compensation Program Components—Annual Incentive Compensation Plan”), which is based on an executive’s base salary paid during the year multiplied by the executive’s applicable bonus percentage for that level. The base salary used in this table is the base salary in effect as of December 31, 2023; however, actual awards are calculated based on a participant’s eligible AICP earnings paid in the year. Performance results at or below the threshold level percentage of performance targets established under the AICP will result in no payments being made under the AICP.

(2)The amounts shown in the “Threshold”, “Target” and “Maximum” columns reflect the potential number of shares that may be earned under 2023 grants under our Performance Share Award Program based on our relative TSR and cumulative operating cash flow over the applicable three-year performance period (see discussion in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Program Components-Performance Share Award Programs”). Earned shares will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date.

(3)Amounts included in the “All Other Stock Awards” column reflect phantom unit awards that vest annually at a rate of one-third per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

(4)This column shows the full grant date fair value of performance share awards (at target performance, which was the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date) and phantom unit awards computed under FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation and granted to the NEOs during 2023. Generally, the full grant date fair value is the amount that Civeo would expense in its financial statements over the vesting schedule of the awards. See Note 19 to Civeo’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional detail regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards.

(5)Mr. McCann’s AICP award amounts were paid in Australian dollars and are reflected in this table in U.S. dollars using an average exchange rate for 2023 of $0.6646 U.S. dollar per Australian dollar.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year End

The following table provides information on the holdings of share awards by our NEOs as of December 31, 2023. The NEOs do not have any outstanding options, and Civeo has not issued any options since we spun off from Oil States International in 2014 and became a publicly traded company. The market value of the share awards is based on the closing market price of Civeo’s common shares as of December 29, 2023, the last trading day of 2023, which was $22.85.

Executive Compensation

Stock Vested

The following table provides information for our NEOs for the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 regarding the number of our common shares acquired upon the vesting of stock awards and the value realized, each before payment of any applicable withholding tax. No NEOs have any options outstanding or have exercised any options in the fiscal year. Reported values for the stock awards were calculated based on the number of stock awards vesting multiplied by the closing share price on the date of vesting.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Civeo maintains a non-qualified defined contribution style of plan in Canada in which Mr. Schoening is a participant. The investment alternatives available under such Canadian non-qualified deferred compensation plan during 2023 were the same mutual funds available to all employees under the Canadian non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Selection of these funds are at the discretion of the executive. Payout terms, withdrawals and other distributions are made at the discretion of the executive subject to corresponding plan terms and conditions.

Detailed below is 2023 activity in the Canadian non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan for Mr. Schoening. All amounts listed below for Mr. Schoening have been converted to U.S. dollars using an exchange rate of $0.7411. Messrs. Dodson and McCann and Ms. Stone did not participate in this plan or any other non-qualified deferred compensation plan during 2023.

Executive Compensation

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The table below reflects the amount of compensation that would have been payable to Messrs. Dodson, Schoening, McCann and Ms. Stone in the event of a qualified termination on December 31, 2023, which is defined as (i) an involuntary termination of the executive officer by Civeo other than for Cause or (ii) either an involuntary termination other than for Cause or a voluntary termination by the executive for Good Reason, in each case, during a specified period of time after a “Change of Control” of Civeo. The table below also reflects the amount of compensation that would have been payable to Messrs. Dodson and McCann in the event of a qualified termination not in connection with a “Change of Control” (as defined in their Executive Agreements) and to Mr. Schoening in the event of a termination without Cause not in connection with a Change of Control pursuant to his Retention Agreement. Mr. Schoening’s (and, prior to her termination, Ms. Stone’s) Change of Control Agreements do not provide for any severance benefits on a termination not in connection with a Change of Control. The scope and terms of compensation due to each named executive officer upon non-change of control voluntary terminations, early retirement, retirement, for Cause termination and in the event of disability or death of the executive are the same as for all salaried employees.

The amounts shown in the table assume that such qualified termination was effective as of December 31, 2023 and, therefore, include compensation earned through such time and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives upon their terminations. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from Civeo. For a discussion of the terms of the Executive and Change of Control Agreements and Mr. Schoening's Retention Agreement, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive and Change of Control Agreements.”

For purposes of the Executive Agreements and the Retention Agreement, Cause generally includes conviction of or guilty plea to a felony, dishonesty or breach of trust, commission of any act of theft, embezzlement or fraud regardless of criminal conviction, continued failure to devote substantially all of the executive’s business time to our affairs or unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information. Good Reason includes material reduction in the executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities, material reduction in the executive’s compensation and benefits, failure of a successor to assume the agreement or a relocation of the executive’s principal place of employment more than 50 miles from its previous location.

“Change of Control” includes (i) any person acquiring beneficial ownership of 35% or more of the combined voting power of our capital stock, (ii) turnover of a majority of the board of directors unless such turnover is approved by incumbent directors, (iii) any merger unless our shareholders own at least 50% of the combined voting power of the surviving parent company’s capital stock following the merger, (iv) shareholder approval of a complete liquidation or (v) sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

As previously disclosed, the Company terminated Ms. Stone’s employment without Cause on March 4, 2024. In connection with such termination, Ms. Stone and the Company entered into the Stone Separation Agreement, under which she will receive the payments and benefits set forth above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive and Change of Control Agreements—Carolyn Stone Separation.”

Equity Awards

Civeo phantom unit awards provide that such awards become fully vested on the termination of an employee’s employment due to the employee's death or a disability that entitles the employee to receive benefits under a long term disability plan of Civeo. All outstanding awards would fully vest following a Change of Control where such awards are not assumed or converted following Change of Control. Civeo’s performance share awards provide that in the event a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of a performance period, the payout percentage will be determined by the Compensation Committee as if the date of Change of Control is the last day of the performance period. Payout of performance awards will be made following the completion of the performance period subject to the executive’s continued employment through the end of the performance period. Should, however, the executive’s employment be terminated (1) by Civeo without Cause (as defined above) or by the executive for Good Reason (as defined above) or (2) as a result of the executive’s death or disability, in either case following a Change of Control (as defined above) and prior to the payout of performance share awards, the executive is entitled to payout of the performance share awards under the terms provided within the Performance Share Award Program.

Quantification of Payments

Shown in the table below are potential payments upon the assumed (i) involuntary not for Cause termination of the named executive officer by Civeo on December 31, 2023, other than during the 24-month period following a Change of Control ("NFC" in table below), (ii) involuntary not for Cause termination or termination by the named executive officer for Good Reason, in either case, during the 24-month period (for Mr. Dodson) or 18-month period (in the case of Messrs. McCann or Schoening or Ms. Stone) following a Change of Control, occurring as of December 31, 2023 ("CIC" in the table below), or (iii) termination as a result of death, disability, or qualifying retirement on December 31, 2023, ("DDR" in the table below). None of Mr. Dodson’s potential payments as of December 31, 2023 would trigger a gross-up payment for excise taxes that would be reimbursed under his Executive Agreement.

Executive Compensation

Pay Ratio Disclosure

The 2023 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee was $54,231. Mr. Dodson’s 2023 annual total compensation was $6,311,862 and the ratio of these two amounts was 116:1.

The SEC’s rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. We identified the median-compensated employee from our employee population as of December 31, 2023 using base salary or wages and overtime paid during fiscal 2023, which we annualized for any permanent employee who was not employed for the entire year.

Compensation actually paid to our NEOs represents the “Total” compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable fiscal year, adjusted as set forth in the table below, in accordance with SEC rules. The dollar amounts shown do not reflect the value of compensation actually received by our NEOs during the applicable year. Instead, the dollar amounts include the values (or changes in value) of unvested and vested equity awards during the applicable year based on year-end share prices, vesting date share prices, various accounting valuation assumptions and projected performance related to our performance-based shares. "Compensation actually paid", determined in accordance with SEC rules, will generally fluctuate due to share price achievement and varying levels of projected and actual achievement of performance goals applicable to our performance-based shares. For a discussion of how our Compensation Committee assesses performance and our NEOs' pay each year, please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in the annual proxy statement for each of 2021 through 2024.

Executive Compensation

Adjustments for stock options are not included as the NEOs do not have any outstanding options, and Civeo has not issued any options since it became an independent, publicly traded company in 2014. Adjustments for pension plans are not included as the Company does not offer a pension plan for which the NEOs are eligible.

(2)TSR represents cumulative TSR on an initial base investment of $100 for the measurement periods beginning on December 31, 2019 and ending on December 31 of each of 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

(3)For each relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR (the "Peer Group TSR") of the PHLX Oil Service Sector Index.

(4)Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Please see Appendix B for further information including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Relationship Graphs

The following provides a graphical depiction of the relationships between compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average of the compensation actually paid to our remaining NEOs, and our cumulative TSR and Peer Group TSR, for each of the four years in the period ended December 31, 2023. TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100, and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.

https://cdn.kscope.io/f299046f04f4a0808d81d2a2e6a0e786-P4P1a.jpg

As seen above, Civeo has delivered strong financial and operational performance leading to cumulative TSR that exceeds its peers, returning 51% from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2023, whereas its peers have average returns of 15% during the same time period.

The following charts compare each of our key financial results to compensation actually paid to our PEO and, on average, to our other NEOs, as compared to the Company's net income and adjusted EBITDA, for each of the four fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 2023.

Audit Matters



PROPOSAL 3 Ratification of Auditors

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation (including approval of the audit fees), retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm that audits our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee has appointed E&Y to audit the consolidated financial statements of Civeo for the year ending December 31, 2024 and the internal control over financial reporting of Civeo at December 31, 2024. E&Y has audited Civeo’s, or its predecessor’s, as applicable, consolidated financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2010 through the year ended December 31, 2023. Our board of directors is asking shareholders to ratify the appointment of E&Y as Civeo’s auditors for the year ending December 31, 2024 and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders and to authorize the directors, acting through the Audit Committee, to determine the remuneration to be paid to E&Y for 2024. If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to appoint another independent registered public accounting firm for 2025. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year.

Representatives of E&Y are expected to be present at the annual general meeting and will be offered the opportunity to make a statement if such representatives desire to do so. The representatives of E&Y will also be available to answer appropriate questions and discuss matters pertaining to the Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm contained in the financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

The Audit Committee engages in an annual evaluation of the independent auditor’s qualifications, performance and independence and periodically considers the advisability and potential impact of selecting a different independent registered public accounting firm. In accordance with SEC rules and E&Y’s policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit the number of consecutive years an individual partner may provide service to us. For lead and concurring audit partners, the maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. We select Civeo’s lead audit partner pursuant to this rotation policy following meetings between the Chair of the Audit Committee and candidates for that role, as well as discussion by the full Committee and with management. The members of the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of E&Y to serve as Civeo’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders.



The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of E&Y as Civeo’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders and the authorization of the directors of Civeo, acting through the Audit Committee, to determine the remuneration to be paid to E&Y for 2024. The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxy in favor of this proposal, unless authority to vote for this proposal is withheld.

Audit Matters

Audit Fees

Audit fees consist primarily of the audit and quarterly reviews of the consolidated financial statements, audits of subsidiaries, statutory audits of subsidiaries required by governmental or regulatory bodies, attestation services required by statute or regulation, comfort letters, consents, assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC, work performed by tax professionals in connection with the audit and quarterly reviews, and accounting and financial reporting consultations and research work necessary to comply with accounting consultations billed as audit services and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”).

Audit-Related Fees

Fees for audit-related services are fees paid for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements not reported above under “Audit Fees” and principally include due diligence in connection with acquisitions, accounting consultations and audits in connections with acquisitions, and internal control reviews.

Tax Fees

Tax fees include professional services provided for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, except those rendered in connection with the audit.

All Other Fees

All other fees include fees for access to an accounting research tool.

Pre-Approval Policy

The charter of the Audit Committee provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for the pre-approval of all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for Civeo by the independent auditors so that the provision of such services does not impair the independent auditor’s independence. The Audit Committee adopted the Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, effective as of May 5, 2014, pursuant to which the Audit Committee has granted general pre-approval of the specified audit, audit-related, tax and other services. The pre-approval policy provides that the Audit Committee must be promptly informed of the provision of any pre-approved services. Services to be provided by the independent auditor that have not received general pre-approval as set forth in the pre-approval policy require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee and must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the Chief Financial Officer or the Vice President, Controller. Any such submission must include a statement as to whether, in such officer’s view, the request or application is consistent with maintaining the independence of the independent auditor in accordance with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee does not delegate to management any of its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by our independent auditors. All services rendered by E&Y in 2023 and 2022 were pre-approved in accordance with our pre-approval policy. None of the services related to the All Other Fees described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the waiver of pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable rules of the SEC.

The board of directors appointed the undersigned independent directors as members of the Audit Committee and adopted a written charter setting forth the procedures and responsibilities of the committee. Responsibilities of the Audit Committee include overseeing the integrity of Civeo's financial statements and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as well as overseeing risks related to the financial reporting process, regulatory compliance, litigation and cybersecurity, among other things. Each year, the Audit Committee reviews the charter and reports to the board of directors on its adequacy in light of applicable NYSE rules. In addition, Civeo furnishes an annual written affirmation to the NYSE relating to Audit Committee membership, the independence and financial expertise of the Audit Committee members and the adequacy of the committee charter.

Audit Matters

During 2023, and earlier in 2024 in preparation for the filing with the SEC of Civeo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Audit Committee:

•reviewed and discussed with management and E&Y (1) the audited annual financial statements and quarterly financial statements, (2) related periodic reports filed with the SEC and (3) quarterly earnings press releases;

•reviewed the overall scope and plans for the audit and the results of E&Y’s examinations;

•met with management periodically during the year to consider the adequacy of Civeo’s internal controls, including Civeo’s internal control over financial reporting and the quality of its financial reporting, and discussed these matters with E&Y and with appropriate Company financial and compliance personnel;

•discussed with Civeo’s senior management and E&Y the process used for Civeo’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to make the certifications required by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in connection with the Form 10-K and other periodic filings with the SEC;

•received the written disclosures and the letter from E&Y required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding E&Y’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence;

•reviewed and discussed with E&Y (1) their judgments as to the quality (and not just the acceptability) of Civeo’s accounting policies, (2) the written communication required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, (3) the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence, (4) the matters required to be discussed by the PCAOB and the SEC, and (5) any issues deemed significant by E&Y, including critical audit matters addressed during the audit;

•based on these reviews and discussions, as well as private discussions with E&Y and Civeo’s internal auditor, recommended to the board of directors the inclusion of the audited financial statements of Civeo and its subsidiaries in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for filing with the SEC; and

•determined that the non-audit services provided to Civeo by E&Y (discussed above under the "Audit Fee Disclosure"), are compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures are discussed above under the Pre-Approval Policy.

Notwithstanding the foregoing actions and the responsibilities set forth in the Audit Committee charter, the charter clarifies that it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that Civeo’s financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for Civeo’s financial reporting process including its system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on those financial statements. Audit Committee members are not employees of Civeo or accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing. Therefore, the Audit Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, that Civeo’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023 and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on Civeo’s financial statements.

The Audit Committee met regularly with management, E&Y and the internal auditors, including private discussions with E&Y and Civeo’s internal auditors, and received the communications described above. The Audit Committee has also established procedures for (a) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by Civeo regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and (b) the confidential, anonymous submission by Civeo’s employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. However, this oversight does not provide us with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our considerations and discussions with management and E&Y do not assure that Civeo’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that the audit of Civeo’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filings with the SEC, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), except to the extent that Civeo specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

PROPOSAL 4 Amendment to Articles to Declassify the Board and Phase-In Annual Director Elections

On December 13, 2023, Civeo’s board of directors unanimously approved, subject to shareholder approval, amendments to Articles 14.2, 14.6, 14.10 and 14.11 of our Articles to phase out the classification of our board of directors over a three-year period starting with Civeo’s next annual general meeting of shareholders, such that all directors are elected on an annual basis starting with the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2027 Annual Meeting”) and to make certain related non-substantive changes to the Articles with respect to the filling of vacancies (the “Declassification Amendment”). We are asking that shareholders pass a special resolution to approve the Declassification Amendment. Our board of directors believes that the proposed amendments to Articles 14.2, 14.6, 14.10 and 14.11 of our Articles set forth in the Declassification Amendment are in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders.

The following description is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix A to this proxy statement, which sets forth the proposed form of Amended and Restated Articles of the Company reflecting the Declassification Amendment, marking those changes specifically (additions to the Articles are indicated by underlining and deletions in the Articles are indicated by strikeouts).

Background of the Declassification Amendment

Under Article 14.2 of the Articles, the board of directors is currently divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible. Each year our shareholders are asked to elect the directors comprising one of the classes for a three-year term. The term of the current Class I directors is set to expire at this annual general meeting. The term of the current Class II directors is set to expire at Civeo’s 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) and the term of the current Class III directors is set to expire at Civeo’s 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”).

Purpose of the Declassification Amendment

Our board of directors regularly reviews the implementation of appropriate corporate governance measures. Most recently, our board of directors conducted a review of our classified board structure. In connection with this review, our board of directors considered the advantages of maintaining the classified board structure, as well as the advantages of declassifying the board. The advantages of the classified board structure include that a classified board may promote board continuity, encourage a long-term perspective by management and the board of directors, and provide protection against certain abusive takeover tactics, including by making it more difficult for one or more shareholders holding a large number of shares to replace the entire board of directors at once.

On the other hand, our board of directors understands that many investors believe that annually elected boards increase accountability of directors to a company’s shareholders. Our board of directors also recognizes that shareholders of public companies generally support shifting from classified boards to the annual election of directors. Following its review and consultation with our shareholders, including ATG Capital Management LLC, our board of directors determined that the Declassification Amendment better aligns our governance with governance practices supported by the investor community. A declassified board will enable Civeo’s shareholders to express a view on each director’s performance by means of an annual vote and will support Civeo’s ongoing efforts to foster “best practices” in corporate governance.

Our board of directors evaluated the Declassification Amendment in light of the considerations described above. Based on these considerations, our board of directors, subject to shareholder approval, unanimously approved the Amended and Restated Articles setting forth the Declassification Amendment, declared the Amended and Restated Articles setting forth the Declassification Amendment advisable and in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders, and unanimously resolved to submit the Declassification Amendment to our shareholders for approval and recommended that our shareholders adopt the Declassification Amendment. Notwithstanding the board of directors approval and recommendation described above, the changes reflected in the Amended and Restated Articles come into force and effect only following receipt of the requisite shareholder approval and delivery of such Amended and Restated Articles for deposit at the records office of Civeo.

Effect of the Declassification Amendment

If the Declassification Amendment is approved by Civeo’s shareholders and implemented by Civeo, it would provide for the annual election of all directors beginning at the 2027 Annual Meeting, and the declassification of our board of directors would be phased in over a period of three years, as follows: (i) the current Class II directors will be elected at the 2025 Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year expiring at the next succeeding annual general meeting of shareholders, (ii) the current Class II and Class III directors will be elected at the 2026 Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year expiring at the next succeeding annual general meeting of shareholders, and (iii) the current Class I, Class II and Class III directors will be elected at the 2027 Annual Meeting to serve for a term of one year expiring at the next succeeding annual general meeting of shareholders. The Declassification Amendment would not shorten the existing terms of our directors. Accordingly, a director who has been elected to a three-year term (including directors elected at this annual general meeting of shareholders) may complete that term. Beginning with the 2027 Annual Meeting, the declassification of our board of directors would be complete, and all directors


62

Audit Matters

would be subject to annual election for one-year terms. As amended, Article 14.2 will further provide that, until the election of directors at the 2027 Annual Meeting, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned in the manner determined by the board of directors in the event of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors.

In order to facilitate the implementation of our board’s declassification, the Declassification Amendment also amends Articles 14.6, 14.10 and 14.11 to provide that (i) while the declassification of our board of directors is being phased in (i.e., until the 2027 Annual Meeting), any director chosen by the board of directors to fill a vacancy on the board of directors (including, without limitation, as a result of a director’s removal by shareholders or the board of directors) will hold office until the next election of the class for which such director whose vacancy is being filled was originally chosen and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, and that (ii) each director so chosen after the election of directors at the 2027 Annual Meeting will serve for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual general meeting and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

If our shareholders approve the Declassification Amendment, it will become effective upon delivery of such Amended and Restated Articles for deposit at the records office of Civeo, which we anticipate doing as soon as practicable following shareholder approval of the Declassification Amendment. As is typical, while our board of directors does not currently expect to exercise this discretion, as part of the adopting resolutions, our board of directors reserved the right to elect to abandon the Declassification Amendment, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Declassification Amendment is no longer in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders. If our board of directors were to exercise such discretion, we will publicly disclose that fact, and our board of directors will remain classified. If our shareholders do not approve the Declassification Amendment, the Amended and Restated Articles will not be delivered for deposit at the registered and records office of Civeo, our board of directors will remain classified and the related changes to the Articles regarding the filling of vacancies will not be made.

Voting Requirements

Pursuant to Section 9.6 of Civeo's Articles, the approval of the Declassification Amendment requires the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.



The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the Declassification Amendment. The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxy in favor of this proposal, unless authority to vote for this proposal is withheld.

PROPOSAL 5 Approval of an Amendment to Articles to Eliminate the Terms of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares

On March 27, 2024, Civeo’s board of directors unanimously approved, subject to shareholder approval, amendments to Article 27 of our Articles to remove the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares and set out in Schedule A to the Articles, particularly to allow the shares of such series to be returned to the general pool of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares available for issuance (the “Preferred Share Amendment”). We are asking that shareholders pass a special resolution to approve the Preferred Share Amendment. Our board of directors believes that the proposed amendment to Article 27 of our Articles set forth in the Preferred Share Amendment is in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders.

The following description is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix A to this proxy statement, which sets forth the proposed form of Amended and Restated Articles of the Company reflecting the Preferred Share Amendment, marking those changes specifically (additions to the Articles are indicated by underlining and deletions in the Articles are indicated by strikeouts).

Background of the Preferred Share Amendment

In April 2018, Civeo amended the Articles to create the Preferred Shares, which were issued in connection with the acquisition by Civeo of Noralta Lodge Ltd. The special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares were structured to account for particular transaction considerations and were restrictive in nature. In December 2022, the holders of the Preferred Shares converted all remaining Preferred Shares into common shares. Following such conversion, no Preferred Shares remained outstanding.

Purpose and Effect of the Preferred Share Amendment

The Articles provide our board of directors with the ability to issue, without shareholder approval, class A preferred shares and class B preferred shares (and any series thereof, including the Preferred Shares), which are subject to limitations, including that the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of such classes and series be pooled, such that no more than 50,000,000 shares, in aggregate, may be issued. Such preferred shares may be issued with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company. The existing rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares prevents any repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired or converted shares from being returned to the pool for future issuance, limiting the pool of shares available for issuance by Civeo. Eliminating the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares would have the effect of returning the shares constituting such series (50,000,000 shares) to the general pool of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares available to be issued under the Articles. Our board of directors believes that eliminating the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares will provide increased flexibility and remove unnecessary provisions from the Articles, while not affecting existing shareholders in any material way.

Our board of directors evaluated the Preferred Share Amendment in light of the considerations described above. Based on these considerations, our board of directors, subject to shareholder approval, unanimously approved the Amended and Restated Articles setting forth the Preferred Share Amendment, declared the Amended and Restated Articles setting forth the Preferred Share Amendment advisable and in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders, and unanimously resolved to submit the Preferred Share Amendment to our shareholders for approval and recommended that our shareholders adopt the Preferred Share Amendment. Notwithstanding the board of directors approval and recommendation described above, the changes reflected in the Amended and Restated Articles come into force and effect only following receipt of the requisite shareholder approval and delivery of such Amended and Restated Articles for deposit at the records office of Civeo, which we anticipate doing as soon as practicable following shareholder approval of the Preferred Share Amendment.

As is typical, while our board of directors does not currently expect to exercise this discretion, as part of the adopting resolutions, our board of directors reserved the right to elect to abandon the Preferred Share Amendment, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Preferred Share Amendment is no longer in the best interests of Civeo and its shareholders. If our board of directors were to exercise such discretion, we will publicly disclose that fact, and the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares will remain. If our shareholders do not approve the Preferred Share Amendment at the meeting, the Amended and Restated Articles reflecting the Preferred Share Amendment will not be delivered for deposit at the registered and records office of Civeo, the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares will remain and the related changes to the Articles will not be made. If our shareholders approve the Declassified Amendment but do not approve the Preferred Share Amendment at the meeting, the changes to the Amended and Restated Articles reflecting the Declassified Amendment will be effected, and the existing special rights and restrictions attaching to the Preferred Shares will remain.

Voting Requirements

Pursuant to Section 9.6 of Civeo's Articles, the approval of the Preferred Share Amendment requires the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.


Civeo’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Preferred Share Amendment. The persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxy FOR the approval of this proposal, unless a contrary choice or abstention is set forth therein or unless such proxy is subject to a broker non-vote with respect to this proposal.

			2023 Proxy Statement			69

Additional Information

Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by my nominee, when will my nominee vote shares for me?

A: For the annual general meeting, if your shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee of record, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, but not the record holder. This means that you vote by providing instructions to your broker rather than directly to Civeo. Brokers holding shares must vote according to specific instructions they receive from the beneficial owners of those shares. If brokers do not receive specific instructions, brokers may in some cases vote the shares in their discretion, but are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may elect not vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions. If you do not provide voting instructions and the broker elects to vote your shares on some but not all matters, it will result in a “broker non-vote” for the matters on which the broker does not vote and your shares will not be voted on those matters. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the Director Proposal, the Auditor Proposal or the Say-on-Pay Proposal. However, broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote against the Declassification Amendment and Preferred Share Amendment. Your nominee can give you directions on how to instruct the voting of your shares. We encourage you to instruct your nominee how to vote your shares.

Q: Are shareholders able to exercise appraisal rights?

A: Appraisal rights are not available to shareholders in connection with any of the proposals.

Q: Can I change my vote after I grant my proxy?

A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the annual general meeting. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, you can revoke your proxy in one of the following ways:

•filing a written revocation with the Secretary prior to the voting of such proxy;

•giving a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or

•attending the annual general meeting and voting in person.

Your attendance during the annual general meeting will not itself revoke your proxy.

If you have instructed a broker to vote your shares, you must follow the procedure provided by your broker to change those instructions.

Q: What will happen if I abstain from voting and/or withhold my vote or fail to vote?

A: Under applicable local law, if you are a shareholder of Civeo and are present in person or by proxy at the annual general meeting and mark your proxy or voting instructions to “ABSTAIN”, this will have no effect on the Say-on-Pay Proposal, but will have the effect of a vote against the Declassification Amendment and Preferred Share Amendment.

If you are a shareholder of Civeo and are present in person or by proxy at the annual general meeting and mark your proxy or voting instructions to ”WITHHOLD”, this will have the effect of a vote withheld from the applicable director nominee named in the Director Proposal, but will have no direct effect on the election of such director nominee. If you are a shareholder of Civeo and are present in person or by proxy at the annual general meeting and mark your proxy or voting instructions to ”WITHHOLD”, this will have no effect on the Auditor Proposal.

If you are a shareholder of Civeo and (1) are not present in person at the annual general meeting and do not respond by proxy or (2) fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote, this will have no effect on the election of the director nominees named in the Director Proposal, the Auditor Proposal or the Say-on-Pay Proposal, but will have the effect of a vote against the Declassification Amendment and Preferred Share Amendment.

Q: What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?

A: If you are a holder of record of shares of Civeo and sign and return your signed proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the shares of Civeo represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Civeo board of directors with respect to that proposal.

Q: What is the quorum requirement for the annual general meeting?

A: The presence of shareholders, in person or by proxy, holding at least a majority of the outstanding common shares, will be required to establish a quorum. The shareholders present in person or by proxy at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Q: Who is soliciting my proxy?

A: Proxies are being solicited by our board of directors for use at the annual general meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Q: Who is paying for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

A: We are paying the costs of soliciting proxies. Upon request, we will reimburse brokers, banks, trusts and other nominees for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding the proxy materials to beneficial owners of our shares.


70

Additional Information

In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our board of directors, our officers and employees, or our transfer agent, may solicit proxies on our behalf by telephone and we have engaged a proxy solicitor to solicit proxies on our behalf by telephone and by other means. We expect the cost of Okapi Partners LLC, our proxy solicitor, to be approximately $9,000. Broadridge will serve as the inspector of election for the annual general meeting.

Future Shareholder Proposals

To be included in the proxy materials for the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders under SEC Rule 14a-8, shareholder proposals that are submitted for presentation at that annual general meeting and are otherwise eligible for inclusion in the proxy statement must be received by us no later than December __, 2024.

Our Articles provide the manner in which shareholders may give notice of business and director nominations to be brought before an annual general meeting. In order for an item to be properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must be a holder of record at the time of the giving of notice, must be entitled to vote at the annual general meeting and must comply with the procedures set forth in our Articles. The item to be brought before the meeting must be a proper subject for shareholder action (in the case of business other than nominations), and the shareholder must have given timely advance written notice of the item. For notice to be timely, it must be delivered to the Civeo corporate secretary at the principal executive offices of Civeo not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting. Accordingly, for the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders, notice will have to be delivered to us no later than January 15, 2025. If, however, the date of the annual general meeting is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 30 calendar days after the anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the 120th calendar day prior to the annual general meeting or (B) the 10th calendar day following the calendar day on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made by Civeo. The notice must set forth the information required by the provisions of our Articles dealing with business other than nominations and nominations of directors (which includes information required by Rule 14a-19). All notices should be directed to our Corporate Secretary, Civeo Corporation, Three Allen Center, 333 Clay Street, Suite 4980, Houston, Texas 77002. Under current SEC rules, we are not required to include in our proxy statement any director nominated by a shareholder using this process.

Proxies granted in connection with that annual general meeting may confer discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder proposal if a shareholder does not also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2) under the Exchange Act. It is suggested that proponents submit their proposals by certified mail, return receipt requested.

The advance notice provision deadlines set forth above are applicable other than pursuant to (i) a valid proposal made by or at the discretion or request of one or more “qualified stockholders” made pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act; and (ii) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act.


			2023 Proxy Statement			71

Additional Information

Householding

The SEC permits a single copy of the proxy materials to be sent to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each shareholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information shareholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses. A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding.

As a result, if you hold your shares through a broker and you reside at an address at which two or more shareholders reside, you will receive only one copy of the proxy materials unless any shareholder at that address has given the broker contrary instructions. However, if any such beneficial shareholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate set of proxy materials in the future, or if any such beneficial shareholder that elected to continue to receive separate proxy materials wishes to receive a single copy of the proxy materials in the future, that shareholder should contact their broker or send a request to our Corporate Secretary, Civeo Corporation, Three Allen Center, 333 Clay Street, Suite 4980, Houston, Texas 77002, (713) 510-2400.

We will deliver, without charge, promptly upon written or oral request to the Corporate Secretary at the contact information above, a separate copy of this proxy statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

2.2Form of Share Certificate. Each share certificate issued by the Company must comply with, and be signed as required by, the Business Corporations Act.

2.3Shareholder Entitled to Certificate or Acknowledgement. Each shareholder is entitled, without charge, to (a) one share certificate representing the shares of each class or series of shares registered in the shareholder's name or (b) a non-transferable written acknowledgement of the shareholder's right to obtain such a share certificate, provided that in respect of a share held jointly by several persons, the Company is not bound to issue more than one share certificate and delivery of a share certificate for a share to one of several joint shareholders or to one of the shareholders' duly authorized agents will be sufficient delivery to all.

2.4Delivery by Mail. Any share certificate or non-transferable written acknowledgement of a shareholder's right to obtain a share certificate may be sent to the shareholder by mail at the shareholder's registered address and neither the Company nor any director, officer or agent of the Company is liable for any loss to the shareholder because the share certificate or acknowledgement is lost in the mail or stolen.

2.5Replacement of Worn Out or Defaced Certificate or Acknowledgement. If the directors are satisfied that a share certificate or a non-transferable written acknowledgement of the shareholder's right to obtain a share certificate is worn out or defaced, they must, on production to them of the share certificate or acknowledgement, as the case may be, and on such other terms, if any, as they think fit:

2.6Replacement of Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificate or Acknowledgement. If a share certificate or a non-transferable written acknowledgement of a shareholder's right to obtain a share certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, a replacement share certificate or acknowledgement, as the case may be, must be issued to the person entitled to that share certificate or acknowledgement, as the case may be, if the directors receive:

a.proof satisfactory to them that the share certificate or acknowledgement is lost, stolen or destroyed; and

b.any indemnity the directors consider adequate.

2.7Splitting Share Certificates. If a shareholder surrenders a share certificate to the Company with a written request that the Company issue in the shareholder's name two or more share certificates, each representing a specified number of shares and in the aggregate representing the same number of shares as the share certificate so surrendered, the Company must cancel the surrendered share certificate and issue replacement share certificates in accordance with that request.

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

The directors also may elect a vice-chairman to act in the place of the Chairman of the Board upon his or her absence or inability to act.

17.5Meetings by Telephone or Other Communications Medium. A director may participate in a meeting of the directors or of any committee of the directors in person or by telephone if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other. A director may participate in a meeting of the directors or of any committee of the directors by a communications medium other than telephone if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other. A director who participates in a meeting in a manner contemplated by this Article 17.5 is deemed for all purposes of the Business Corporations Act and these Articles to be present at the meeting and to have agreed to participate in that manner.

17.6Notice of Meetings. Other than for meetings held at regular intervals as determined by the directors pursuant to Article 17.1, reasonable notice of each regular and special meetings of the directors, specifying the place, day and time of that meeting must be given to each of the directors by any method set out in Article 23.1 and shall be delivered in person or by telephone or electronic transmission to each director or sent by first-class mail, addressed to each director. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least five days prior to any regular or special meeting. If the notice is delivered in person, by telephone or electronic transmission, it shall be delivered at least two days prior to any regular meeting and 24 hours prior to any special meeting. The notice for special meeting need not specify the purpose or place of the meeting if the meeting is to be held at the corporate headquarters of the Company. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in the notice of such meeting, except for amendments to these Articles, as provided under section 9.5 of the Articles of the Company. A meeting may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if those not present waive notice of the meeting in accordance with section 17.7 of these Articles.

17.7When Notice Not Required. It is not necessary to give notice of a meeting of the directors to a director if:

a.the meeting is to be held immediately following a meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected, or is the meeting of the directors at which that director is appointed; or

b.the director has waived notice of the meeting.

17.8Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice. The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of directors to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any director does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

17.9Waiver of Notice of Meetings. Any director may send to the Company a document signed by him or her waiving notice of any past, present or future meeting or meetings of the directors and may at any time withdraw that waiver with respect to meetings held after that withdrawal. After sending a waiver with respect to all future meetings and until that waiver is withdrawn, no notice of any meeting of the directors need be given to such director and all meetings of the directors so held are deemed not to be improperly called or constituted by reason of notice not having been given to such director.

17.10Quorum. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors is deemed to be set at a majority of the entire Board who are present in person, telephonically or by proxy and those directors may constitute a meeting; however if at any meeting of the Board there is less than a quorum present, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. Subject to any provisions of any law and these Articles, the act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. The directors present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a quorum.

17.11Validity of Acts Where Appointment Defective. Subject to the Business Corporations Act, an act of a director or officer is not invalid merely because of an irregularity in the election or appointment or a defect in the qualification of that director or officer.

17.12Action by Consent of Board. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board and any committee thereof may act without a meeting so long as all members of the Board or committee have delivered, in writing or by electronic transmission, a consent with respect to any Board action taken in lieu of a meeting.

PART 20
INDEMNIFICATION

20.1Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter, a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other unincorporated entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Business Corporations Act, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 20.3, the Company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 20.1 shall be a contract right and shall include, to the fullest extent authorized by the Business Corporations Act, the right to have the Company pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, any advance

payments to be paid by the Company within 20 calendar days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the Business Corporations Act requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in such person’s capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 20.1 or otherwise.

20.2Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 20.1 of these Articles is not paid in full by the Company within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Business Corporations Act for the Company to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the circumstances that the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Business Corporations Act, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

20.3Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Part 20 is not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Notice of Articles, these Articles, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of these Articles shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to indemnification hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

20.4Indemnification of Other Persons. Subject to any restrictions in the Business Corporations Act, the Company may grant rights to indemnification, and rights to have the Company pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition to any person.

20.5Non-Compliance with Business Corporations Act. The failure of a director or officer of the Company to comply with the Business Corporations Act or these Articles does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under this Article 20.

20.6Company May Purchase Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who:

a.is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company;

b.is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of an entity at a time when the entity is or was an affiliate of the Company;

c.at the request of the Company, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of an entity or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

d.at the request of the Company, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;

against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.

20.7Amendment, Repeal or Modification. Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions will be prospective only and would not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.

The mailing of such cheque will, to the extent of the sum represented by the cheque (plus the amount of the tax required by law to be deducted), discharge all liability for the dividend unless such cheque is not paid on presentation or the amount of tax so deducted is not paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

21.13Capitalization of Surplus.

(d) Dividends on the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall accumulate and become Accrued Dividends on a day-to-day basis, whether or not declared (and whether or not permitted to be declared under applicable law), from the most recent Dividend Payment Date, or if there has been no prior Dividend Payment Date, from the Issue Date, until Cash Dividends are paid pursuant to Article 27.1.3(b) in respect of such accumulated amounts or the Liquidation Preference is increased in respect of such accumulated amounts pursuant to Article 27.1.3(c).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares are converted into Common Shares, any Accrued Dividends with respect to such Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall not be permitted to be paid in cash, but shall be added to the Liquidation Preference for purposes of such Conversion.

(ii) To effect an Early Conversion of any Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 27.1.6(a), the holder thereof must deliver to the Company the Share Certificate(s) representing such Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares, together with the Notice in Exhibit A hereto and, if required by clause (iv) of this Article 27.1.6(a) below, pay all transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any.

A holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall not be required to pay any transfer or similar taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of any Common Shares if such holder exercises its conversion rights, but such holder shall be required to pay any transfer or similar tax or duty that may be payable relating to any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of Common Shares in a name other than the name of such holder.

On any Early Conversion Effective Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares so converted and all other rights with respect to the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of holders thereof to receive the number of whole Common Shares into which such of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares have been converted (with cash payment for fractional shares pursuant to Article 27.1.8).

(iv) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon Early Conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such Common Shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Early Conversion Date. Except as set forth in Article 27.1.9(j)(iii), prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time,

on such applicable Early Conversion Date, the Common Shares issuable upon Early Conversion of any Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose, and holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall have no rights with respect to such Common Shares, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Shares or rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Shares, by virtue of holding Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares.

(v) In the event that an Early Conversion is effected with respect to Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares representing less than all the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares held by a holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares, upon such Early Conversion the Company shall execute and instruct its transfer agent to countersign and deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a certificate evidencing the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares as to which Early Conversion was not effected.

(i) The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to cause the outstanding Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares to be converted, in whole or in part, into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate then in effect (“Forced Conversion”); provided, however that, in order for the Company to exercise such right, the Average VWAP of the Common Shares during a 15 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Forced Conversion Notice Date shall be greater than or equal to the Conversion Price then in effect.

(ii) To convert Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares into Common Shares pursuant to this Article 27.1.6(b), the Company shall give written notice (the “Forced Conversion Notice” and the date of such notice, the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to each holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares stating that the Company elects to force Conversion of such Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 27.1.6(b) and shall state therein:

(A) the number of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares to be converted;

(B) the Conversion Rate on the Forced Conversion Notice Date; and

If the Company validly delivers a Forced Conversion Notice in accordance with this Article 27.1.6(b), the Company shall issue the Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 10 Business Days thereafter (the date of issuance of such shares, the “Forced Conversion Date”).

(iii) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon the Forced Conversion of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be treated as the record holder(s) of such Common Shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Forced Conversion Date. Except as provided under Article 27.1.9(j)(iii), prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Forced Conversion Date, the Common Shares issuable upon the Forced Conversion of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall not be outstanding for any purpose and holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall have no rights with respect to such Common Shares, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers or rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Shares, by virtue of

holding Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares. As Common Shares issued upon a Forced Conversion will be in book entry form, the Common Shares issuable upon Forced Conversion shall be delivered to the converting holder through book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC or the Company’s transfer agent, as applicable, together with delivery by the Company to the converting holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares of any cash to which such converting holder is entitled.

(iv) In the event that a Forced Conversion is effected with respect to Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares representing less than all the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares held by a holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares, upon such Forced Conversion the Company shall execute and instruct its transfer agent to countersign and deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a certificate evidencing the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares as to which Forced Conversion was not effected.

(i) Each Class A Series 1 Preferred Share shall automatically convert on the Mandatory Conversion Date (“Mandatory Conversion”) into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate in effect on such date.

(ii) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be treated as the record holder(s) of such Common Shares as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Mandatory Conversion Issuance Date. Except as provided under Article 27.1.9(j)(iii), prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Mandatory Conversion Issuance Date, the Common Shares issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall not be outstanding for any purpose and holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall have no rights with respect to such Common Shares, including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers or rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Shares, by virtue of holding Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares. As Common Shares issued upon a Mandatory Conversion will be in book entry form, the Common Shares issuable upon Mandatory Conversion shall be delivered to the converting holder through book-entry transfer through the facilities of DTC or the Company’s transfer agent, as applicable, together with delivery by the Company to the converting holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares of any cash to which such converting holder is entitled. The Common Shares will be issued as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the 10th Business Day immediately succeeding the Mandatory Conversion Date (the date of issuances of such shares, the “Mandatory Conversion Issuance Date”). On the Mandatory Conversion Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares so converted and all other rights with respect to the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares so converted, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of holders thereof to receive the number of whole Common Shares into which such of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares have been converted (with cash payment for fractional shares pursuant to Article 27.1.8).

(d) Automatic Conversion on Change of Control

(i) Immediately prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, each Class A Series 1 Preferred Share shall automatically convert (“Automatic Conversion”) into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate in effect on such date (the “Automatic Conversion Time”). Such Automatic Conversion shall be automatic, without need for any further action by the holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares and regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent. Upon the Automatic Conversion of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares pursuant to this Article 27.1.6(d), the Company shall promptly send written notice thereof to each holder of record of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares at such holder’s address then shown on the records of the Company.

(ii) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares issuable upon the Automatic Conversion of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be treated as the record holder(s) of such Common Shares as of the Automatic Conversion Time.

(ii) the number of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares to be redeemed;

(iii) the redemption price as provided in Article 27.1.7(a); and

(iv) the place or places where certificates for such Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(c) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the Redemption Date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in New York City, and having a capital and surplus of at least $50 million and selected by the Board, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the Redemption Date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such Redemption Date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be released to the Company, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

27.1.8 No Fractional Shares

(a) No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon Conversion, whether voluntary or mandatory.

(b) In lieu of any fractional Common Shares otherwise issuable in respect of a Conversion, the Company shall make a cash payment to each holder of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share (based on the Average VWAP of the Common Shares over the five consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the seventh Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable Conversion Date).

(c) If more than one Class A Series 1 Preferred Share is surrendered for Conversion at one time by or for the same holder, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon Conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares so surrendered.

27.1.9 Anti-Dilution Adjustments to the Conversion Rate

The Conversion Rate shall be subject to the following adjustments:

(a) Stock Dividends and Distributions

(i) If the Company issues Common Shares to all holders of Common Shares as a dividend or other distribution, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be divided by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination; and

(B) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination and the total number of Common Shares constituting such dividend or other distribution.

(ii) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(a) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution described in this Article 27.1.9(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the purposes of this Article 27.1.9(a), the number of Common Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares.

(b) Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights

(i) If the Company issues to all holders of Common Shares rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan, shareholder rights plan or share purchase plan or other similar plans) entitling such holders, for a period of up to 45 calendar days from the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such rights or warrants shall be increased by multiplying the Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination and the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and

(B) the denominator of which is the sum of the number of Common Shares outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination and the number of Common Shares equal to the quotient of the aggregate offering price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the Current Market Price.

(ii) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(b) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination. In the event that such rights or warrants described in this Article 27.1.9(b) are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Common Shares are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of Common Shares actually delivered. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than the Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price payable for Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board or an authorized committee thereof, which determination shall be conclusive and final). For the purposes of this Article 27.1.9(b), the number of Common Shares at the time outstanding shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Common Shares.

(i) If outstanding Common Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of Common Shares or combined into a lesser number of Common Shares, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such subdivision or combination; and

(B) the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such subdivision or combination.

(ii) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(c) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(d) Debt or Asset Distribution

(i) If the Company distributes to all holders of Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness, shares, securities, rights to acquire shares of the Company, cash or other assets (excluding: (1) any dividend or distribution covered by Article 27.1.9(a); (2) any rights or warrants covered by Article 27.1.9(b); (3) any dividend or distribution covered by Article 27.1.9(e); and (4) any Spin-Off to which the provisions set forth in Article 27.1.9(d)(ii) apply), the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and

(B) the denominator of which is the Current Market Price minus the Fair Market Value, on such date fixed for determination, of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares, securities, rights to acquire the Company’s shares, cash or other assets so distributed applicable to one Common Share.

(ii) In the case of a Spin-Off, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is the sum of the Current Market Price of the Common Shares and the Fair Market Value of the portion of those shares or similar equity interests so distributed that is applicable to one Common Share as of the 15th Trading Day after the effective date for such distribution (or, if such shares or equity interests are listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, the Current Market Price of such securities); and

(B) the denominator of which is the Current Market Price of the Common Shares.

(iii) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(d) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution. In the event that such distribution described in this Article 27.1.9(d) is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required under this Article 27.1.9(d) during any Settlement Period in respect of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares that have been tendered for Conversion, delivery of the Common Shares issuable upon Conversion shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Article 27.1.9(d).

(iv) For purposes of this Article 27.1.9(d) (and subject in all respects to Article 27.1.9(b)), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company, including Common Shares (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Article 27.1.9(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 27.1.9(d) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Article 27.1.9(d). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the Issue Date, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such distribution with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type

described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Article 27.1.9(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued, and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or purchase; and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

(v) For purposes of Article 27.1.9(a), Article 27.1.9(b) and this Article 27.1.9(d), if any dividend or distribution to which this Article 27.1.9(d) is applicable includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of Common Shares to which Article 27.1.9(a) is applicable (the “Article 27.1.9(a) Distribution”); or

(B) an issuance of rights or warrants to which Article 27.1.9(b) is applicable (the “Article 27.1.9(b) Distribution”), then

(1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Article 27.1.9(a) Distribution, if any, and the Article 27.1.9(b) Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Article 27.1.9(d) is applicable (the “Article 27.1.9(d) Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Article 27.1.9(d) with respect to such Article 27.1.9(d) Distribution shall then be made; and

(2) the Article 27.1.9(a) Distribution, if any, and Article 27.1.9(b) Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Article 27.1.9(d) Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Article 27.1.9(a) and Article 27.1.9(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company:

(I) the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive any Article 27.1.9(a) Distribution or Article 27.1.9(b) Distribution shall be deemed to be the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive the Article 27.1.9(d) Distribution; and

(II) any Common Shares included in any Article 27.1.9(a) Distribution or Article 27.1.9(b) Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Article 27.1.9(a) and Article 27.1.9(b).

(e) Cash Distributions

(i) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of Common Shares (excluding (1) any cash that is distributed in a Reorganization Event to which Article 27.1.10 applies; (2) any dividend or other distribution in connection with the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution

or winding up of the Company; and (3) any consideration payable as part of a tender or exchange offer by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company covered by Article 27.1.9(f)), the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price per share of Common Shares; and

(B) the denominator of which is the Current Market Price per share of Common Shares minus the amount per share of such dividend or other distribution.

(ii) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(e) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. In the event that any dividend or other distribution described in this Article 27.1.9(e) is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or make such other distribution, to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or other distribution had not been declared.

(f) Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers

(i) If the Company or any subsidiary of the Company successfully completes a tender or exchange offer pursuant to a Schedule TO or registration statement on Form S-4 (or any successor form) for Common Shares (excluding any securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Shares), where the cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Shares exceeds the Current Market Price, the Conversion Rate in effect at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of expiration of the tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”) shall be multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of:

(1) the aggregate cash and Fair Market Value on the Expiration Date of any other consideration paid or payable for Common Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; and

(2) the product of (x) the Current Market Price and (y) the number of Common Shares outstanding at the time such tender or exchange offer expires, less any purchased shares; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of:

(1) the Current Market Price; and

(2) the number of Common Shares outstanding at the time such tender or exchange offer expires, including any purchased shares.

(ii) Any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(f) shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 10th Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date but will be given effect as of

9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. In the event that the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Shares pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if the application of this Article 27.1.9(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Article 27.1.9(f). If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Article 27.1.9(f) during any Settlement Period in respect of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares that have been tendered for Conversion, delivery of the related Conversion consideration shall be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Article 27.1.9(f).

(g) Fair Market Value in Excess of Current Market Price. Except with respect to a Spin-Off, in cases where the Fair Market Value of the evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, shares, securities, rights to acquire the Company’s shares, cash or other assets as to which Article 27.1.9(d) or Article 27.1.9(e) apply, applicable to one share of Common Shares, distributed to holders of Common Shares equals or exceeds the Current Market Price (as determined for purposes of calculating the Conversion Rate adjustment pursuant to such Article 27.1.9(d) or Article 27.1.9(e)), rather than being entitled to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate, holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive upon Conversion, in addition to a number of Common Shares otherwise deliverable on the applicable Conversion Date, the kind and amount of the evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, shares of the Company, securities, rights to acquire the Company’s shares, cash or other assets comprising the distribution that such holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares would have received if such holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares had owned, immediately prior to the record date for determining the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive the distribution, for each Class A Series 1 Preferred Share, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the date of such distribution.

(h) Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Shares on any Conversion Date, upon Conversion of any Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares, converting holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares shall receive, in addition to the Common Shares, the rights issued under such rights plan, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the Common Shares, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation of such rights as if the Company made a distribution to all holders of the Common Shares as described in Article 27.1.9(d), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a rights plan that would allow holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares to receive upon Conversion, in addition to any Common Shares, the rights described therein (unless such rights or warrants have separated from Common Shares) shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants that would entitle holders of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares to an adjustment to the Conversion Rate.

(i) Adjustment for Tax Reasons. The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to any other increases required by this Article 27.1.9, as the Company deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Shares resulting from any dividend or distribution of Common Shares (or

issuance of rights or warrants to acquire Common Shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason; provided that the same proportionate adjustment must be made to the Conversion Rate.

(j) Calculation of Adjustments; Adjustments to Threshold Appreciation Price, Initial Price and Share Price

(i) All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a Common Share. Prior to any Conversion Date, no adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent therein. If any adjustment by reason of this Article 27.1.9(j)(i) is not required to be made because it would not change the Conversion Rate by at least one percent, such adjustment shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, however, that on a Conversion Date, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward that has not been taken into account before such date.

(ii) Whenever any provision of these Articles requires the Company to calculate the VWAP per Common Share over a span of multiple days, the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) shall make appropriate adjustments (including, without limitation, to the Fair Market Value and the Current Market Price (as the case may be)) to account for any adjustments, pursuant to Article 27.1.9, to the Conversion Rate that become effective, or any event that would require such an adjustment if the Ex-Date, effective date or Expiration Date (as the case may be) of such event occurs, during the relevant period used to calculate such prices or values (as the case may be).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made if holders of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares may participate, at the same time, upon the same terms and otherwise on the same basis as holders of Common Shares and solely as a result of holding Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares, in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment as if they held, for each Class A Series 1 Preferred Share, a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate then in effect. The Company shall notify holders of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares, in the event they may so participate, at the same time it notifies holders of Common Shares of their participation in such transaction. In addition, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(A) upon the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under any plan;

(B) upon the issuance of any Common Shares or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit, compensation or stock purchase plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(C) upon the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Issue Date;

(D) for a change in the par value of the Common Shares;

(E) for stock repurchases that are not tender offers or exchange offers, including structured or derivative transactions; or

(F) for Accrued Dividends.

(k) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted, the Company shall compute such adjusted Conversion Rates and transmit to the holders of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares a statement setting forth such adjusted Conversion Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based in reasonable detail.

27.1.10 Recapitalization, Reclassifications and Changes of Common Shares

(a) In the event of the following, other than on a transaction which results in a Change of Control (each, a “Reorganization Event”):

(i) any consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than an amalgamation, arrangement, merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation and in which the Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the amalgamation, arrangement, merger or consolidation are not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person);

(ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company;

(iii) any reclassification of Common Shares into securities other than Common Shares; or

(iv) any statutory exchange or arrangement of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition);

in each case, as a result of which the Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, securities, cash or property, each Class A Series 1 Preferred Share outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of the holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Share, become convertible into the kind of securities, cash and other property that such holder of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive if such holder had converted its Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares into Common Shares immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (such securities, cash and other property, the “Exchange Property,” with each “Unit of Exchange Property” meaning the kind and amount of such Exchange Property that a holder of one Common Share is entitled to receive).

(b) For purposes of the foregoing in Article 27.1.10(a), the type and amount of Exchange Property in the case of any Reorganization Event that causes the Common Shares to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election (or of all holders of Common

Shares if none makes an election). The value of a Unit of Exchange Property shall be determined in good faith by the Board or an authorized committee thereof (which determination will be conclusive and final). The Company shall notify holders of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The number of Units of Exchange Property for each Class A Series 1 Preferred Share converted or subject to Conversion or redemption following the effective date of such Reorganization Event shall be determined as if references in Article 27.1.6 to Common Shares were to Units of Exchange Property (without interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon which have a record date that is prior to such Conversion Date, except as provided in Article 27.1.9(j)(iii)).

(c) The above provisions of this Article 27.1.10 shall apply to any shares or capital stock of the Company (or any successor thereto) received by the holders of Common Shares in connection with any such Reorganization Event.

(d) The Company (or any successor thereto) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 20 calendar days) after the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the holders of Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares of such occurrence and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitute the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Article 27.1.10.

27.1.11 Other Provisions.

(a) If any of the Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares are issued in uncertificated, book entry form as permitted by the Business Corporations Act and the Articles of the Company, then within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such uncertificated shares, the Company shall send to the registered owner thereof an Ownership Notice.

(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Common Shares issued upon a Conversion will be listed and posted for trading on each stock exchange on which the Common Shares are then listed and posted for trading.

Appendix B

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The term EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The terms Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain other unusual or non-operating items. Adjustments to EBITDA under the AICP also reflect one-time, unanticipated financial events incurred following approval of the respective year's budget, including unbudgeted variability in stock-based compensation expense, changes in foreign exchange rates and certain other unbudgeted costs (approved by the board of directors). The AICP adjustments to EBITDA in 2023 were consistent with past practices. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income or cash flow measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA as supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA provide useful information regarding its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provide investors a helpful measure for comparing the Civeo's operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Civeo uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA to compare and to monitor the performance of its business segments to other comparable public companies and as a benchmark for the award of incentive compensation under its annual incentive compensation plan.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and AICP EBITDA to net income attributable to Civeo Corporation, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (in thousands) (unaudited):

The term net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as net debt divided by bank-adjusted EBITDA.

Net debt, bank-adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio are not financial measures under GAAP and should not be

considered in isolation from or as a substitute for total debt, net income (loss) or cash flow measures prepared in

accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. Additionally, net debt, bank-adjusted EBITDA and net

leverage ratio may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included net debt,

bank-adjusted EBITDA and net leverage ratio as a supplemental disclosure because its management believes that this data

provides useful information regarding the level of the Company’s indebtedness and its ability to service debt. Additionally,

per Civeo’s credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain a net leverage ratio below 3.0x every quarter to remain in

compliance with the credit agreement.
