Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 4, 2021, The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of Nabors Industries, Inc. (the "Company") adopted new forms of performance-based restricted stock unit agreements to be used in the award of 2021 performance share units to Mr. Anthony Petrello, the Company's Chairman, CEO and President (the "CEO PSU Agreement"), and Mr. William Restrepo, the Company's CFO (the "CFO PSU Agreement," and together with the CEO PSU Agreement, the "PSU Agreements"), pursuant to the Amended and Restated Nabors Industries Ltd. 2016 Stock Plan. Amounts earned under the CEO PSU Agreement up to target performance level may be settled in the Company's common shares, in cash, or in a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee, while amounts earned above target performance level may be settled only in cash. All amounts earned pursuant to the CFO PSU Agreement may be settled in the Company's common shares, in cash, or in a combination of both, at the discretion of the Committee. All amounts under the PSU Agreements that are settled in cash shall be payable promptly following the Committee's determination that such amounts have been earned, while amounts under the PSU Agreements to be settled in shares will vest in three equal annual installments, subject to the officer's continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

In addition, the Committee and Mr. Petrello agreed that the grant of Mr. Petrello's TSR Shares (as defined in his employment agreement) for 2021 shall be reduced by 50 percent, and that the maximum value that may be received by Mr. Petrello upon vesting of such TSR Shares shall under no circumstances exceed five times the fair market value of the award on the date of grant (as determined in accordance with his employment agreement).

The descriptions of the new forms of PSU Agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of PSU Agreements which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.
