Proxy Statement Summary

Corporate Responsibility at Civeo

Our business is hospitality. We help our guests maintain healthy, balanced and productive lifestyles while working away from home. Our responsibility is to provide a comfortable and safe living environment while minimizing our environmental footprint and supporting the communities in which we live and work. Just as important as what we do is the manner in which we operate. As a global leader in workforce accommodations, we hold ourselves to a high standard when it comes to safety, the environment and our active involvement in the community. It's just what we do.



OUR PEOPLE			• In 2020, we reached 9% Indigenous employment in Canada despite challenging market conditions that resulted in reduced hiring in the region. Approximately 11% of our total new hires in Canada were of Indigenous background during 2020. • In 2020, we achieved 4.5% Indigenous employment in Australia. • Since 2014, we have had a program to facilitate mentoring relationships between experienced leaders in Civeo and employees who are at the early stages of their careers.


SAFETY			• Our safety culture is driven by our leaders, in conjunction with active employee engagement - we are focused on "Making Zero Count." • We implemented a number of initiatives to protect the health of our staff, guests and communities during the Covid-19 pandemic – including health screening questionnaires, increased sanitation, takeaway food service, mandatory physical distancing, roster changes and work from home protocols. • We sheltered approximately 1,500 people from Fort McMurray during the 2020 floods, without compromising any COVID-19 protocols. • We responded to and safely restored operations in the Lake Charles area twice after 2020 hurricanes. • As of December 2020, we had worked a complete year without a Lost Time Incident across all Canadian and U.S. operations.


COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS			• Since 2013, we have supported more than 20 schools across New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia with our School Mates Grants. These contributions enhance learning and educational experiences for students. • Civeo has partnered with Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas to help foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills in Houston students. • Civeo partnered with Whitehaven Coal and local businesses in Narrabri, New South Wales, Australia to assist the town’s elderly and disabled citizens with free deliveries of groceries and essential items. • We are working with Inclusion Alberta, a family-based non-profit federation, to provide a place to work for community members with disabilities.


INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT			• In 2020, we purchased more than C$39 million in goods and services from the Indigenous business community, representing 25% of our total Canadian local spending. • In Australia, through our membership with Supply Nation, a non-profit organization committed to supplier diversity and Indigenous business development, we have spent approximately A$1.4 million annually with Indigenous-owned and operated companies. • We partnered with Woollahra Group and Fortescue Metals Group in April 2020 to deliver 1,300 Covid-19 care packages to remote Indigenous communities in Western Australia’s Pilbara Region. • We maintained Gold level certification in Canada’s Progressive Aboriginal Relations program.
			Increased our Canadian Indigenous supply chain spend by 6% in 2019 versus 2018

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP			• At several villages in Western Australia, we have removed single use plastics from our operations, including disposable plates, cups, containers and straws. • Our state-of-the-art Canadian laundry facility uses approximately 35% less water than a conventional laundry facility. • At Coppabella Village in Queensland, treated greywater is used as a recycled source of irrigation water for the village’s landscaping.


SHAREHOLDER ENGAGEMENT			• During 2020, we met with shareholders representing 69% of our fully diluted shares regarding the Company's operations, financial results and strategy. • During 2020, we met with shareholders representing 51% of our fully diluted shares regarding executive compensation and efforts to efficiently manage the Company's balance sheet.

Proxy Statement Summary



PROPOSAL 2 Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.			See page 30

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 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 continued success and provides an element of compensation that is not at risk 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"), 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.

Changes to Executive Compensation in 2020 and 2021

In light of the market environment in early 2020, including the near term outlook for oil and gas activity, Mr. Dodson volunteered for a 20% interim annualized salary reduction to $600,000, with a corresponding reduction to his potential bonus under the Company's Annual Incentive Compensation Plan (“AICP”) for 2020, effective as of April 2, 2020. In addition, Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone both agreed to reduce their base salaries from April 2, 2020 through September 30, 2020 by 10%, with a corresponding decrease to their potential bonuses under the AICP. Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone both received increases to their base salaries on October 1, 2020 to return to the base salary in place prior to the reduction. No reductions to Mr. McCann’s salary or target AICP were made in 2020.

Previously, we have granted performance-based awards to our named executive officers ("NEO"). However, in 2020, given the number of shares available under the EPP, the Company's stock price at the time and feedback from the Company’s largest investors regarding potential dilution, the Compensation Committee determined that it was in the best interest of Civeo's shareholders not to issue share awards to NEOs or other employees. NEOs received a cash-based retainer in lieu of a performance award. The award, which will be paid in cash, vests in February 2023. If performance shares had been granted in 2020, the current economic value of those performance shares, as of March 24, 2021, would be approximately 166% of the cash retainer value at target performance without considering any outperformance by the Company under the relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) and financial metrics of contemplated 2020 performance share grants. We have returned to a more traditional performance-based awards for 2021.

Based in part on the feedback from our shareholder engagement efforts, in 2021, the Company altered its performance goals utilized under the Company’s AICP. Historically, the financial metric for AICP has been EBITDA. The Company continues to believe that EBITDA is an appropriate financial metric for Civeo as it is a commonly used financial measure for valuation and benchmarking in the oilfield services industry and it is closely correlated with cash flow from operations. For 2021, the Company will also use free cash flow as the financial metric under the AICP, given the Company’s current focus on generating cash flow and reducing leverage. The weighting for the CEO will be changed to 80% free cash flow and 20% safety. The performance goals for the Company’s other NEOs will also be similarly revised to include a cash flow metric.

Furthermore, beginning in 2021, for any future equity grants, the Compensation Committee has committed to cap all future performance shares at 100% payout (Target) if Civeo's TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance. Also, the Compensation Committee has committed that, beginning in 2021, all future performance share grants will require relative TSR at the 55th percentile to achieve a target payout. In previous performance share grants, relative TSR at the 50th percentile was required for target payout. Finally, in addition to requiring executives to maintain minimum share ownership levels, the Compensation Committee has also adopted a holding period requirement subsequent to vesting of Civeo shares


			2021 Proxy Statement			7

Proxy Statement Summary

granted as long-term compensation for NEOs. NEOs must hold at least 50% of the net vested Civeo shares (after reduction for tax withholding) for twelve months subsequent to the date of vesting.



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 55

The Audit Committee of our board of directors has determined that the accounting firm of 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, 2021. 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 Ernst & Young ("E&Y") for 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):


	2020 ($)	2019 ($)
Audit Fees	1,660	1,772
Audit-Related Fees	—	—
Tax Fees	—	—
All Other Fees	5	5
TOTAL	1,665	1,777



PROPOSAL 4 Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

The board of directors recommends a vote of ONE YEAR for this proposal.			See page 58

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-when-on-pay” proposal, provides shareholders with the opportunity to vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the frequency with which we should conduct the say-on-pay vote. You are given the option of selecting a frequency of every one, two or three years, or abstaining.

Corporate Governance



PROPOSAL 1 Election of Directors

Two 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Civeo’s board of directors has nominated C. Ronald Blankenship and Charles Szalkowski for election to the two 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 2024, 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 and Charles Szalkowski are “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 areas and businesses 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.

Corporate Governance

Board of Directors — Refreshment/Succession Planning

In selecting nominees for the board of directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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. We currently have a search ongoing to identify and recruit a highly qualified diverse candidate whose skills and characteristics strengthen the entirety of our board of directors.

DIRECTOR NOMINATION PROCESS



			Candidate Search						2 new directors were added in the last 5 years Timothy O. Wall Ronald Gilbertson (resigned in 2019)
			• The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek referrals from other members of the board of directors, management, shareholders and other sources. • The Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
			• The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the candidate’s experience, independence and understanding of the Company’s business.

			Interviews
			• The Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee submits a recommendation of nominees to the board of directors, and the board of directors selects the nominees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations from various sources, including from shareholders, regarding possible candidates for director. To submit a recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a shareholder should send a written request to the attention of Civeo’s 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.”

Corporate Governance

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 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. Nonetheless, our board of directors is committed to adding new directors to infuse new ideas and fresh perspectives in the boardroom. Civeo has been a separate public company since May 2014, and during that time, 14 different individuals have served on our now 7-seat board of directors. As a result, the Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 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.

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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration. The Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Civeo board of directors and its committees utilize our Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) process to assist in the oversight of our risks. Management and employees are responsible for day-to-day risk management, and management conducts a 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.


			2021 Proxy Statement			15

Corporate Governance

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.

Cybersecurity Risk Oversight Strategy

Cybersecurity risks are continuously monitored and evaluated by management in partnership with internal audit. Civeo engages a variety of cybersecurity partners to perform and mediate penetration testing, as well as perform quarterly audits on our cyber security profile. Management has also implemented a variety of required programs to both test and train our employees on cybersecurity fundamentals.

The Audit Committee reviews quarterly cyber metrics and oversees progress against our annual action plans, including status of projects to improve our cybersecurity defenses. Annually, the board of directors reviews the Company's cybersecurity strategy and execution.

Corporate Governance

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 reviews annually 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 believe we provide a competitive and well rounded compensation package that attracts and retains exceptional talent.

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. During 2020, we formed a Diversity and Inclusion Committee to help us serve our employees, clients and communities better as we strive to build a culture of inclusion. In Canada, we are committed to hiring Indigenous Peoples and expanding our Indigenous workforce, excluding corporate staff, to 10%. In 2020, we reached 9% Indigenous employment, excluding corporate staff, in Canada despite challenging market conditions that resulted in reduced hiring in the region. Approximately 11% of our total new hires in Canada were of Indigenous background during 2020. 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 2020, we purchased more than C$39 million in goods and services from the Indigenous business community, representing 25% 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 have been able to direct approximately A$1.4 million each year into Indigenous-owned and operated companies, 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 & 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 web site www.civeo.com by first clicking “Corporate Governance” under the “Investor Relations” heading and then “Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.”

Substantially all of our employees are required to complete online training on a regular basis. That training 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 www.civeo.com by first clicking “Corporate Governance” under the “Investor Relations” heading and then “Financial Code of Ethics for Senior Officers.”


			2021 Proxy Statement			17

Corporate Governance

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;

• Promoting honest and ethical behavior by others in the work environment;

• 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 environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) principles are essential to our success. 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 camps and villages. In 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic required even greater attention to health and safety protocols.

Beginning in early 2020 and continuing through the filing of this proxy statement, the board of directors has been highly engaged with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of management about the impact of COVID-19 and our response and plans. Since the COVID-19 pandemic developed, the board of directors has received frequent updates on the impact to the company’s employees, operations and clients and reviewed with management the safety protocols in place to protect the health of our employees and guests while maintaining continuity of service to our clients. This board oversight has included COVID-19 situation updates at each board meeting beginning in mid-March 2020 through the filing of this proxy statement. These updates addressed the impact on our employees, operations, financial results and supply chain as well as media engagement and related legal and regulatory matters. Management also is engaged with the board of directors on identifying and addressing strategic risks and opportunities arising out of COVID-19. During the pandemic, we adjusted our planned in-person meetings of the board of directors to hold them virtually to ensure continued effective functioning of the board of directors.

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
69% During 2020, we conducted shareholder engagement with shareholders representing 69% of our fully diluted shares regarding the Company’s operations, financial results and strategy.			51% Management, the chair of the board of directors and several of the Company’s directors engaged with shareholders representing 51% of our fully diluted shares outstanding to solicit shareholder input and feedback with respect to our efforts to efficiently manage its balance sheet including opportunities to (i) reduce aggregate leverage and (ii) extend the maturity of the Company’s current credit facility or (iii) refinance the credit facility.

Note - fully diluted shares include common shares outstanding as well as common shares assumed to be converted from preferred shares on an as converted basis.

Corporate Governance

Board of Directors—Structure

The Civeo board of directors is divided into three classes, each of roughly equal size. There are currently two directors of Class I, three directors of Class II and two directors of Class III. 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 and Szalkowski, as Class I directors, will have terms expiring in 2024. The directors designated as Class II directors have terms expiring in 2022, and the directors designated as Class III directors have terms expiring in 2023.

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 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, Martin A. Lambert, 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.

Board of Directors and Committee Meetings

During 2020, the Civeo board of directors held ten meetings, the Audit Committee held eight meetings, the Compensation Committee held eight meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings and the Finance and Investment Committee held two meetings. Each of the directors attended 100% of the meetings of the board of directors and the committees on which he or she served. 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 the committees on which they serve. All of our directors attended the 2020 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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. [add discussion of operational reviews, site visits]

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Civeo has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to best ensure that the board of directors has 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 ensure that the interests of the board of directors and management are aligned with the interests of the shareholders. Civeo’s Corporate Governance Guidelines are available at www.civeo.com by first clicking “Corporate Governance” under the “Investor Relations” heading and 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 were no transactions or relationships required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K during the past two fiscal years.

Our board of directors has adopted 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 person 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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.


			2021 Proxy Statement			23

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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our board of directors. Any member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 Nominating and Governance 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.

Noralta Acquisition

On April 2, 2018, we acquired the equity of Noralta Lodge Ltd. ("Noralta"), located in Alberta, Canada (the "Noralta Acquisition"). The total consideration, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement, included (i) C$207.7 million (or approximately US$161.2 million) in cash, (ii) 2.7 million of our common shares, of which 1.1 million shares are held in escrow and will be released based on certain conditions related to Noralta customer contracts remaining in place, and (iii) 9,679 Class A Series 1 Preferred Shares (the “preferred shares”) with an initial liquidation preference of $96.8 million and initially convertible into 2.4 million of our common shares.

During the second quarter of 2020, $5.0 million in cash was released to us from escrow to cover certain agreed upon indemnification claims. During the first quarter of 2019, $2.1 million in cash was released to us from escrow to cover certain agreed upon indemnification claims. During the fourth quarter of 2018, $10.4 million in cash, 0.2 million common shares and 637 preferred shares were released to us, and $1.2 million in cash, 15 thousand common shares and 55 preferred shares were released to the sellers, from escrow to cover purchase price adjustments related to employee compensation cost increases. During the third quarter of 2018, $3.6 million in cash was released to us from escrow to cover purchase price adjustments related to a working capital shortfall at closing.

Holders of the preferred shares are entitled to receive a 2% annual dividend on the liquidation preference, paid quarterly in cash or, at our option, by increasing the preferred shares’ liquidation preference. The preferred shares are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $39.60 per preferred share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments (the “Conversion Price”). We have the right to elect to convert the preferred shares into common shares if the 15-day volume weighted average price of the common shares is equal to or exceeds the Conversion Price. Holders of the preferred shares have the right to convert


24

Corporate Governance

the preferred shares into common shares at any time after two years from the date of issuance, and the preferred shares mandatorily convert after five years from the date of issuance. The preferred shares also convert automatically into common shares upon a change of control of Civeo. We may redeem any or all of the preferred shares for cash at the liquidation preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The preferred shares do not have voting rights, except as statutorily required.

In connection with closing of the Noralta Acquisition, we entered into the registration rights, lock-up and standstill agreement, dated April 2, 2018 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Torgerson Family Trust (“Torgerson Trust”) and 989677 Alberta Ltd. (collectively, the “Restricted Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, for a period of 18 months following the closing, the Restricted Shareholders agreed not to transfer any of their common shares without our prior written consent, with certain limited exceptions for permitted transfers. Following such 18-month period, the Restricted Shareholders are permitted to transfer common shares under Rule 144 or an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), subject to a limitation restricting transfers during any 90-day period of more than 10% of the common shares (including common shares received upon conversion of the preferred shares) received by the Restricted Shareholders in the Acquisition. In addition, no Restricted Shareholder may transfer any common shares or preferred shares to any competitor of Civeo or any person, whether individually or as part of a group, that would then have the right to vote more than 10% of the common shares then outstanding, other than transfers in an underwritten public offering or in a market transaction pursuant to Rule 144. The Restricted Shareholders also agreed to be subject to customary standstill restrictions, including a restriction on additional purchases of common shares, and a restriction on voting common shares that limits the voting by such holders of common shares (including common shares held in escrow) in excess of 15% of the voting power of the outstanding common shares, which will be voted consistently with all other shareholders. The transfer, standstill and voting restrictions terminate at such time as the shares beneficially owned by the Restricted Shareholders no longer constitute at least 5% of our common shares then outstanding (calculated assuming conversion of all of the outstanding preferred shares) or upon a bankruptcy or change of control of Civeo.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we filed a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act covering the public offering of the registrable securities held by the Restricted Shareholders, which became effective on September 5, 2019. In addition, the Restricted Shareholders have customary “piggy-back” rights with respect to public offerings of common shares by Civeo.

The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the Restricted Shareholders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

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 will, 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 form 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 director compensation.

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


Component			Non-Employee Director Compensation
Annual Cash Retainer (1)			$65,000
Annual Equity Retainer (2) (3)			Stock award equal to $125,000
Chair of the Board Retainer (4)			Annual retainer of $75,000, paid quarterly 50% in cash and 50% in fully vested common shares
Committee Chair Annual Cash Retainer			Audit - $27,500 Compensation - $23,000 Nominating and Corporate Governance - $18,000 Finance and Investment - $18,000
Committee Member Annual Cash Retainer			Audit - $18,000 Compensation - $13,000 Nominating and Corporate Governance - $13,000 Finance and Investment - $13,000

1. Effective as of April 1, 2020, in light of the then current market environment including the near term outlook for oil and gas activity, the non-employee directors voluntarily agreed to an annual retainer reduction to $52,000, a 20% reduction, effective as of April 1, 2020. The retainers were reinstated to $65,000 as of January 1, 2021.

2. Newly elected non-employee directors receive restricted stock 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 stock awards valued at $125,000 at each annual shareholders’ meeting after which they continue to serve. The non-employee directors’ restricted stock awards are valued on the award date based on the closing share price 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.

Commencing with annual grants made in 2019, our non-employee directors were permitted to elect to receive their annual restricted stock 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.

3. Effective as of April 1, 2020, in light of the Company's then current stock price and the desire to limit shareholder dilution, the non-employee directors replaced the annual stock award for 2020 with an additional cash retainer of $100,000, which will be paid on the date of the 2021 annual shareholders’ meeting. The annual stock awards are expected to be reinstated at the 2021 annual shareholders meeting.

4. Effective as of April 1, 2020, in light of the then current market environment including the near term outlook for oil and gas activity, Mr. Navarre also voluntarily agreed to reduce the additional Chair retainer to $60,000, a 20% reduction, to be paid quarterly 100% in cash, effective as of April 1, 2020. The retainer was reinstated to $75,000 as of January 1, 2021.

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.


26

Corporate Governance



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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews compliance with share ownership guidelines.

Director Compensation Table

The table below summarizes the compensation paid by Civeo to non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020:


Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash		Share Awards (1)		Total
Richard A. Navarre	$	122,625	$	9,419	$	132,044
C. Ronald Blankenship	$	104,250	$	—	$	104,250
Martin A. Lambert	$	91,250	$	—	$	91,250
Constance B. Moore	$	95,750	$	—	$	95,750
Charles Szalkowski	$	91,250	$	—	$	91,250
Timothy O. Wall	$	81,250	$	—	$	81,250

(1) The amounts in the “Share Awards” column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted in 2020 calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation. Please see Note 18 to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Civeo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for information regarding the assumptions relied upon for this calculation. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. These amounts reflect our future accounting expense for these awards, and do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the directors. Mr. Navarre’s share award total includes $9.419 of Civeo common shares as part of his fees as Chair of the Board, which vested on the grant date. As of December 31, 2020, none of the directors held unvested equity awards.

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 stock awards, after payment of applicable taxes, valued at five times the annual retainer amount until retirement or until leaving the board of directors. 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 are expected to be in compliance with the guidelines within the five-year period for compliance.

As of March 24, 2021, all non-employee directors were in compliance with the guidelines as demonstrated in the chart below:


	Ownership in Shares		Compliance Y/N
Non-employee directors	Target Ownership	Current Holdings
Richard A. Navarre	18,678	27,176	Yes
C. Ronald Blankenship	18,678	21,297	Yes

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 2015 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 2022 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 2021 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. The board of directors could, if it concluded it was in our best interests to do so, choose not to follow or address the outcome of the advisory resolution. Decisions regarding the compensation and benefits of our named executive officers remain with our board of directors and the Compensation Committee. We expect, however, that 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 ("NEO") for 2020. Our NEO’s for 2020 were:

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

• Carolyn J. Stone, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer;

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

• Allan D. Schoening, Senior Vice President, Canada.

Executive Overview

Civeo achieved its safety, operational, strategic and financial goals in 2020 while successfully navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and the global downturn in the oil market. The pandemic caused significant dislocations and demand destruction in the global oil market, negatively impacting our North American customers’ operations and spending, and therefore our occupancy. Our Canadian operations experienced a 32% decline in billed rooms in 2020 compared to 2019. In order to keep our locations open and operating, as well as keep our guests and employees safe, we implemented strict safety protocols. These measures include stringent screening for all individuals that enter our facilities, strict social distancing practices, enhanced cleaning and deep sanitization, the suspension of all nonessential employee travel, and work-from-home policies.

Despite these headwinds, Civeo’s strategy remained unchanged: operate safely, generate free cash flow and reduce our leverage. In addition to improving our global safety performance in 2020 compared to 2019, we exceeded our 2020 Adjusted EBITDA budget by 12.1%, generated $111 million of free cash flow, reduced total debt by $108 million and reduced our leverage ratio to 2.11 times. The Company’s resilient performance was the result of the global collaboration and leadership of Civeo’s executive, operational and safety teams. The Compensation Committee considered each and all of these achievements to be extraordinary given the 2020 pandemic business environment in which they were accomplished.

Specific 2020 Accomplishments

From an operational standpoint, the Company’s primary focus in 2020 was, and continues to be, the safety and wellbeing of our guests and employees. Operationally, Mr. Dodson and our global leadership team’s effective operations in an unprecedented environment included the following:

• Developed, implemented and maintained global protocols to mitigate the transmission of the COVID-19 virus in our locations;

• Reacted quickly and definitively to the decline in North American occupancy due to the oil macroeconomic environment, reducing overhead and SG&A costs for 2020 by approximately $7.8 million, or 26%, from 2019;

• Successfully integrated the Action Catering acquisition in Australia, including expanding Action’s revenues in 2020 by approximately A$87 million compared to 2019;

• Profitably executed on the Company’s contracts related to LNGC Canada and Coastal Gaslink Pipeline projects; and

• Continued strong safety performance across all regions, resulting in a full year aggregate Total Recordable Incident Rate ("TRIR") of 0.45, compared to 0.56 in 2019.

The Company’s strategic and financial focus remained the same in 2020 as it was in 2019: continue to focus on free cash flow generation and debt reduction. Significant financial achievements in 2020 included:

• Exceeded the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA budget by 12.1%; the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA budget was approved by Civeo’s Board in December 2019 and was unadjusted for the impact of the pandemic;

• Generated $111 million of free cash flow;

• Reduced total debt by $108 million;

• Decreased our leverage ratio to 2.11 times at December 31, 2020 from 2.98 times at December 31, 2019;

• Exceeded the divisional EBITDA budget in both Canada and Australia;

• Extended key client contracts in both Canada and Australia, including four key contracts for the Action Catering business in Australia with expected total revenues of A$135 million;

• Extended the maturity of all our outstanding debt by 18 months to May 2023; and

• Achieved relative total shareholder returns in 2020 in the top quartile compared to our compensation peer group.

Considering the 2020 market environment, in April, Mr. Dodson voluntarily reduced his annualized salary to $600,000, a 20% reduction from his then current salary, with a corresponding reduction to his 2020 target AICP, effective as of April 2, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, the Compensation Committee returned Mr. Dodson’s annualized salary to previously targeted level of $750,000.

Executive Compensation

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 previously as chief executive officers of energy or real estate related 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 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 sector.

CEO and NEO Compensation Mix

This section outlines each of the components of our compensation program. Compensation decisions specific to our named executive officers for 2020 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 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 not at risk 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"), 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 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
Adjusted EBITDA			Adjusted EBITDA is widely recognized as a primary valuation and comparable financial metric used in the industry and, for this reason, was selected as an appropriate financial metric for 2020.
Total Recordable Incident Rate ("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.
Relative Total Shareholder Return ("TSR")			Relative TSR is a valuable metric to assess performance against our peer group over a performance period. This allows the company to ensure we are aligned with shareholder interests.



Adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude impairment charges and certain other items. Please see the Appendix for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP. Adjustments to EBITDA under the AICP also reflect one-time, unanticipated financial events incurred following approval of the 2020 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 2020 were consistent with past practices; none of these adjustments were related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Highlights of 2020 Performance and Impact on Executive Compensation

Despite continuing headwinds faced by the energy sector throughout 2020, 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 and reduce our leverage, a highlight not broadly seen across our sector. In particular, during 2020 we achieved the following:

Reduced total debt by $108 million from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020

Decreased our leverage ratio to 2.11 times at December 31, 2020, from 2.98 times at December 31, 2019

Generated strong free cash flow of $111 million during the year

Extended maturity of current credit agreement by18 months to May 30, 2023

Achieved relative TSR in the top quartile compared to our compensation peer group

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



Executed on the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline ("CGL") contract, on-time and on-budget						Increased integrated services revenues by A$87 million with contract renewals in Australia



Room nights increased by 15% in Australia in 2020						Continued strong safety performance across all regions, resulting in a 2020 Global TRIR of 0.45

Executive Compensation

Shareholder Engagement and Changes to the Compensation Program

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. Members of the board of directors and management engaged with shareholders holding over 50% of the company’s fully diluted shares in May, June, July and September 2020 regarding compensation practices, dilution related to the Company’s EPP and the Company’s capital structure. In addition, the Company’s management maintains routine dialogue with its investors regarding operations, strategy, total leverage and quarterly financial results. Throughout 2020, management engaged with shareholders holding over 69% of the company’s fully diluted shares.

In May 2020, in response to shareholder engagement and the committee’s continuing efforts to instill best practices, the Compensation Committee made the following changes to the Company’s AICP and LTIP. We believe the following 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:

• With the Company’s stated focus on generating cash flow and reducing leverage, the Compensation Committee changed the financial metric under the AICP from EBITDA to free cash flow for 2021. Historically, the target AICP for the Company’s CEO and CFO was weighted 80% to EBITDA and 20% to safety. In 2021, this weighting was changed to 80% free cash flow and 20% safety. The performance goals for the Company’s other NEOs were also similarly revised to include a cash flow metric.

• For 2021 and subsequent grants, the Compensation Committee has committed to cap all future performance shares at 100% payout (Target) if Civeo's relative TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance.

• The Compensation Committee has committed that all future performance share grants will require relative TSR at the 55th percentile to achieve a target payout. In previous performance share grants, relative TSR at the 50th percentile would result in a target payout.

• Executives are required to maintain minimum share ownership levels (as disclosed on page 47 of the Proxy Statement). The Compensation Committee has also adopted a holding period requirement subsequent to vesting of Civeo shares granted as long-term compensation for the NEOs. NEOs must hold at least 50% of the net vested Civeo shares (after tax withholding) for 12 months after the date of vesting.

• Finally, based on shareholder concerns regarding dilution, we did not issue any equity under the EPP in 2020 and directors did not receive Civeo shares as a portion of their compensation.

Say-On-Pay Vote

At our 2020 annual meeting, we obtained 88.45% 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 2020, and did not make any specific changes to our compensation program subsequent to the final say-on-pay vote.

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 Balanced executive pay mix including long-term incentives, 50% of which are generally performance-based for NEO's, at-risk compensation in relation to 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 Maximum award levels as a cap on performance incentives. Beginning in 2021, there is a cap all future performance shares at 100% payout (Target), if Civeo's relative TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance Civeo's clawback policy allows the Company to recoup incentive-based compensation in the case of a significant or material financial restatement, or a restatement resulting from fraud or other misconduct Share ownership policy that requires NEOs to hold at least 50% of the net vested Civeo shares (after tax withholding) for 12 months after the date of vesting	Buying or selling puts, calls or options in respect of our securities, or pledging shares (including holding shares in a margin account) by directors and officers 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 Severance multipliers in excess of 3x Liberal share recycling in our long-term incentive plan Repricing of stock options or stock appreciation rights without shareholder approval Single-trigger vesting of equity awards upon a change of control 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 named executive officers 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.


			2021 Proxy Statement			35

Executive Compensation

Peer Group and Benchmarking

The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Mercer, uses a peer group of companies with similar customers and activity drivers to Civeo to benchmark executive compensation. The peer group includes companies serving oil and gas, mining and other natural resource companies. 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 2020 peer group based on these metrics* (US dollars in millions).

COMPENSATION PEER GROUP

In late 2019, Mercer reviewed Civeo’s peer group of companies used for 2020 benchmarking purposes to assess the ongoing competitiveness and suitability of Civeo’s compensation programs and practices. Following that review, Mercer recommended that Pioneer Energy Services Corp. be removed as a result of its delisting from the NYSE. Further, Mercer recommended that Quintana Energy Services Inc. be added to the peer group based on its serving the oil and gas industry and comparability with other companies in the peer group. The Compensation Committee approved these changes to the peer group, and it was used by the Compensation Committee for compensation evaluation purposes for 2020.

In late 2020, Mercer reviewed Civeo’s peer group of companies used for benchmarking purposes to assess the ongoing competitiveness and suitability of Civeo’s compensation programs and practices. Following that review, Mercer recommended that Unit Corp. and Quintana Energy Services Inc. be removed as both companies were taken private. Further, Mercer recommended removing Basic Energy Services, STEP Energy Services and Source Energy Services as a result of its significantly lower small market capitalization. Further, Mercer recommended that Badger Daylighting Ltd., Enerflex Ltd., McGrath RentCorp, North American Construction Group and Target Hospitality Corp. be added to the peer group based on most of the added companies serving the oil and gas industry and their comparability with other companies in the peer group. The Compensation Committee approved these changes to the peer group, and it was determined that, unless otherwise determined in subsequent peer group evaluations, this new peer group is intended to be used by the Compensation Committee for compensation evaluation purposes for 2021.


			2021 Proxy Statement			37

Executive Compensation

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 uniform in design and operation 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 the Compensation Committee’s independent consultant, 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, 50% of which are generally performance-based for named executive officers, to more closely tie executive compensation to 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. Beginning in 2021, the Compensation Committee capped all future performance shares at 100% payout (Target), if Civeo’s relative TSR over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance.

In summary, although a portion of the compensation provided to our named executive officers is based on our overall performance or division performance, we believe our compensation programs do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking by our named executive officers (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.

Compensation Program Components

This section outlines each of the components of our compensation program. Compensation decisions specific to our named executive officers for 2020 for each of these components are discussed in greater detail under 2020 Executive Compensation. 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 not at risk to avoid fluctuations in compensation that could distract our executives from the performance of their responsibilities. Base salaries for named executive officers 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, internal equity and changes to job scope and responsibility. In general, base salaries are targeted at median levels compared to comparable positions within the peer group but vary from this reference point when and where deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.

In light of the market environment in early 2020, including the near term outlook for oil and gas activity, Mr. Dodson volunteered for a 20% interim annualized salary reduction to $600,000, with a corresponding reduction to his potential bonus under the AICP for 2020, effective as of April 2, 2020. In addition, Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone both agreed to reduce their base salaries from April 2, 2020 through September 30, 2020 by 10%, with a corresponding decrease to their potential bonuses under the AICP. Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone both received increases to their base salaries on October 1, 2020 to return to the base salary in place prior to the reduction. No reductions to Mr. McCann’s salary or target AICP were made in 2020.

Base salaries, as in effect on December 31, 2020, and target AICP levels for 2020, are set forth below for each named executive officer. The base salary for Mr. Dodson reflects a reduced salary for the majority of 2020. Mr. Dodson's salary was returned to $750,000 in January 2021.

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 named executive officers.

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 2020, 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 less than 85% 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 budgeted safety and financial performance objectives. Overachievement is 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 overachievement level, 100-200% of the target amount is paid out proportionately.

The performance metrics for our AICP consist of financial metrics, typically budgeted EBITDA, as adjusted where deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee, and safety performance.

The maximum AICP overachievement percentage permitted under the AICP is capped at two times the target level to mitigate the potential for excessive risk taking.

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 incentive 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.

Executive Compensation

For AICP purposes in 2020, performance metrics consisted of one financial metric, budgeted EBITDA, and one metric based on safety performance as measured by the 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 entry, target, and over-achievement performance goals were used for determining payouts for our named executive officers under the 2020 AICP (dollars in millions):


	Entry		Target		Over Achievement			Actual Achievement
Consolidated EBITDA Targets (in USD)	$	85.9	$	101.1	$	121.3	$	113.3
Division EBITDA Targets
Canada (in CAD)	$	72.5	$	85.3	$	102.4	$	88.5
Australia (in AUD)	$	71.5	$	84.1	$	101.0	$	106.9
Global TRIR Targets		1.06		0.88		0.70		0.45

The 2020 EBITDA target of $101.1 million was lower than the 2019 EBITDA target of $113.0 million and the 2019 actual EBITDA achievement of $114.6 million due to:

• Decreased U.S. drilling and completion activity experienced in the second half of 2019 and forecasted for 2020;

• Lower Canadian turnaround activity expected for 2020, particularly when compared to actual turnaround activity in the second half of 2019; and

• Changes in exchange rates.

These items were partially offset by higher expected occupancy in the Company’s Bowen Basin villages and the full year inclusion of the Action Catering business acquired in July 2019.

Adjustments to EBITDA under the AICP for 2020 reflected one-time, unanticipated financial events incurred following approval of the 2020 budget. For 2020, specific adjustments included impairment expenses, expenses related to unbudgeted variability in stock-based compensation expense, changes in foreign exchange rates, transaction related costs and certain other costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in 2020 were consistent with past practices; none of these adjustments were related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2020 safety TRIR target of 0.88 was higher than the 2019 target of 0.60 and 2019 actual TRIR of 0.56 primarily due to the acquisition of the Action Catering business in July 2019. Since the Action acquisition was not completed until July 2019, the Action business was not included in the 2019 safety target. Including the Action business in the 2020 target increased the global TRIR target.

In 2020, the following performance results under the AICP were considered for award determination purposes:

• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of USD $113.3 million (112.1% of budget);

• Adjusted EBITDA for our Canadian division of CAD $88.5 million (103.8% of budget);

• Adjusted EBITDA for our Australian division of AUD $106.9 million (127.1% of budget); and

• TRIR safety performance achievement of 200% payout for Consolidated; 200% payout for Canada, 200% payout for the United States and 200% 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 $0.6906 U.S. dollar per Australian dollar, the average exchange rate for 2020. Mr. Schoening’s bonus, which is paid out in Canadian dollars, has been converted to U.S. dollars below at an exchange rate of $0.7463 U.S. dollar per Canadian dollar, the average exchange rate for 2020.

Executive Compensation

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 2020, all named executive officers received equity awards made up of 50% time-based phantom units and 50% cliff-vested cash-based awards. All long-term incentive awards made to employees are generally subject to a three-year vesting period, with time-based awards vesting equally each year from date of grant and cash-based awards vesting on the third anniversary of the grant. 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 2020, Civeo granted a combination of phantom share units and cash-based awards as long-term incentives to its named executive officers 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.

(1) This column shows the full grant date fair value of the phantom share units and time-vested cash retainer as computed under FASB ASC Topic 718—Stock Compensation and granted to the named executive officers during 2020. 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 stock price on date of grant. See Note 18 to Civeo’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional detail regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards.

Cash-Based Awards

Previously, we have granted performance-based share awards to our named executive officers. However, in 2020, given the number of shares available under the EPP, the Company's stock price at the time and feedback from the Company’s largest investors regarding potential dilution, the Compensation Committee determined that it was in the best interest of Civeo's shareholders not to issue share awards to NEOs or other employees. Named executive officers received a cash-based retainer in lieu of a performance award totaling approximately $2.0 million. The award vests and will be paid in 2023 to those participants still employed with the Company. If performance shares had been granted in 2020, the current economic value of those performance shares, as of March 24, 2021, would be approximately 166% of the cash retainer value at target performance without considering any outperformance by the Company under relative TSR and financial metrics of contemplated 2020 performance share grants.

Calculation of our relative TSR is conducted by a third party designated by the Compensation Committee following completion of the three-year performance cycle. Performance share awards granted in 2018 and 2019 will be earned in amounts between 0% and 200% of the participant’s target performance share award, based on the payout percentage associated with Civeo’s percentile performance among the peer group.

If the performance metric yields a payout percentage of 0%, participants will not earn any performance shares for the applicable three-year performance period. Calculation of relative TSR includes all dividends paid over the performance cycle. Between the quartiles, linear interpolation is used for the actual percentile performance. Beginning in 2021, the Compensation Committee has committed to cap all future performance shares at 100% payout (Target), if Civeo’s total shareholder return over the performance period is negative, irrespective of relative performance.

All performance share awards have been approved by the Compensation Committee and the board of directors. For 2019, Mercer was engaged to calculate Civeo’s ranking in regards to the performance awards that were issued in February 2016. For those 2016 performance share awards that vested in February 2019, Civeo was the highest ranked TSR in the group and therefore, a payout of 200% of target was approved. For 2020, Mercer was engaged to calculate Civeo’s ranking in regards to the performance awards that were issued in February 2017. For those 2017 performance share awards that vested in February 2020, Civeo was the 4th ranked TSR in the group and therefore, a payout of 175% of target was approved.

All long-term incentive awards under the EPP are expensed in a manner to comply 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.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation for 2020

During its evaluation of Mr. Dodson’s compensation, the Compensation Committee reviewed (i) performance against the 2020 business plan, (ii) TSR performance against a group of peer companies, (iii) pay levels and compensation trends at peer group companies and (iv) progress against the Company’s strategic plan.

In addition to performance information that supports compensation levels that is included in the proxy statement, the Company provides additional information in the Annual Report on Form 10-K including a performance graph that reflects the company’s relative stock performance against the S&P 500, PHLX Oil Services Sector, the prior peer group and the current peer group to assist shareholders and proxy advisors as they consider a “Say on Pay” analysis. The performance graph covers a five-year period with the first year being 2015.

The following graphic provides information about equity and non-equity awards granted to Mr. Dodson in 2020. Phantom share units and a time-vested cash retainer are included in the LTIP Awarded category below.

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 compensation up to annual limits defined by the IRS. Civeo makes matching contributions under this plan on the first 6% of the participant’s compensation, providing 100% match on the employee’s contribution up to 4% of his or her compensation and a 50% match on the employee’s contribution up to an additional 2% of the employee’s 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 9.5% of base salary (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 to 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.

Dual employment contract provisions for Mr. Dodson provide for income tax preparation services to satisfy his annual filing obligations and for tax equalization for pro rata compensation earned in Canada.

Executive Compensation

Procedures for Determining Compensation

Executive Compensation Decision-Making and Approval Process

All executive compensation decisions for named executive officers 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 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. 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 2020 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 2020:

• 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 2020 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 2020, fees paid to Mercer in the form of commissions by our Canadian insurer and retirement plan fund manager totaled $23,052 and $15,264, respectively, for benefits consulting services provided to our Canadian operations. During 2020, fees paid to Mercer in the form of commission by our U.S. insurers and retirement plan administrator totaled $114,774 and $28,044, respectively, for consulting services provided to our U.S. operations. In the opinion of the Compensation Committee, the scale of these fees ($181,134 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 $55,109 in 2020.

Executive Compensation

Other Items

Executive and Change of Control Agreements

Civeo maintains Executive Agreements with Messrs. Dodson and McCann and Change of Control Agreements with Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone. These agreements are not considered long-term employment agreements and as such, 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” 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 officer based on the executive’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, he is entitled to receive a lump-sum payment equal to 2 times his base salary and annual incentive amount if a qualified termination occurs during the 18-month period following a Change of Control. Ms. Stone’s Change of Control Agreement entitles her to receive a lump-sum payment equal to 1.75 times her base salary and target annual incentive amount if a qualified termination occurs during the 18-month period following a Change of Control. Where a qualified termination occurs outside of the protection period following a Change of Control, Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone and are not entitled to receive any severance payments or benefits.

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 Change of Control and a qualified termination 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 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 Ms. Stone, vesting of all employer contributions to our 401(k) plan to the extent not already vested and (C) for each named executive officer, 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. The executive agreement entered into with Mr. Dodson 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 Mr. McCann, Mr. Schoening or Ms. Stone. See “Potential Payments Under Termination or Change of Control” in this proxy statement for additional disclosures of severance and Change of Control payments for named executive officers.

Civeo’s Executive Agreements have a term of three years, Mr. Schoening and Ms. Stone’s Change of Control Agreements have 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 and Ms. Stone, 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.

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.

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


			2021 Proxy Statement			45

Executive Compensation

Dual Employment Contracts

Mr. Dodson is party to a dual employment contract with Canadian and U.S. legal entities of Civeo. This contract is in place to permit such executive to execute contracts and other legal agreements on behalf of entities in either jurisdiction and to work and perform cross-border services on an uninterrupted basis. The terms of this contract allocates a portion of such executive’s time to services performed in the United States and Canada provide for tax equalization payments intended to put the executive in the same position as if his employment income were all earned in the State of Texas.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

Under Section 162(m) of the Code, a limitation exists on tax deductions of any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation to certain “covered employees” of such corporation exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the previously existing exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for certain “performance-based” compensation was repealed for all but certain grandfathered compensation arrangements that were in effect as of November 2, 2017. However, the rules and regulations promulgated under Section 162(m) are complicated and subject to change. As such, there can be no assurance that any compensation awarded prior to such date will be fully tax deductible.

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.

Clawback Policy

Civeo’s clawback policy allows Civeo to recoup incentive-based compensation from current or former executive officers if the consolidated financial statements of Civeo are materially restated within three years of their initial public release or filing, and the board of directors determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any current or former executive officer has engaged in intentional misconduct, and such misconduct caused or partially caused the need for such restatement. In that case, the board of directors may within 12 months after such a material restatement, require that the executive forfeit and/or return to Civeo all or a portion of the compensation vested, awarded or received under any bonus, equity or other award during the period subject to restatement and the 12-month period following the initial public release or filing of the restated financial statements. The forfeiture and/or return of compensation under the policy would be limited to any portion that the executive officer would not have received if the consolidated financial statements had been reported properly at the time of their initial public release or filing. The clawback policy would not apply to restatements following a change of control, as defined in the EPP, and the policy does not limit the ability of Civeo to otherwise pursue forfeiture or reclamation of amounts under applicable law.

Executive Compensation

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 are 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 24, 2021, all executive officers were in compliance with the guidelines (or, with respect to Ms. Stone, otherwise within the initial five-year period for compliance) 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. For 2019 and 2020, executive retention was carefully considered by the Compensation Committee in arriving at its long-term incentive award determinations for our named executive officers, 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.

Independent Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee engaged Mercer, an independent compensation consultant, to report directly to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves Mercer’s appointment annually. Mercer acted as independent compensation consultant for 2020 and has been approved by the Compensation Committee as its consultant for 2021.

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) This column represents the dollar amounts, for years shown, of the aggregate grant date fair value of performance share, restricted stock award, restricted share unit, deferred share, 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. 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 named executive officers. See Note 18 to Civeo’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional detail regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards. Cash retainers granted as part of the LTIP in 2020 are not considered “Share Awards” and, although considered 2020 compensation by the Committee, are not reflected in the Summary Compensation Table this year per SEC rules.

(1) The amounts shown in the columns “Threshold”, “Target” and “Maximum” reflect the threshold, target and overachievement 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, 2020; 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 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.

(3) 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 named executive officers during 2020. 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 18 to Civeo’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional detail regarding assumptions underlying the value of these awards.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation

Civeo maintains a non-qualified style of plan in Canada in which Mr. Schoening is a participant. The investment alternatives available under the Canadian non-qualified deferred compensation plan during 2020 were the same mutual funds available to all employees under Civeo’s Group RRSP/DPSP Retirement 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 2020 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 an exchange rate of $0.7463. Messrs.

Executive Compensation

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The table below reflects the amount of compensation that would be payable to Messrs. Dodson, Schoening, McCann and Ms. Stone in the event of a qualified termination, 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 be 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). Mr. Schoening’s and Ms. Stone’s Change of Control Agreements do not provide for any severance benefits on a termination prior to 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 30, 2020 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, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive and Change of Control Agreements.”

For purposes of the Executive Agreements, “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 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.

Equity Awards

Civeo’s option agreements provide that, in the event of an employee’s disability, retirement or death, outstanding unvested options will become fully vested and will be exercisable for a period of one year following the employee’s date of termination due to disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code), retirement (on or after attainment of age 65 or, with the Civeo Compensation Committee’s express written consent, on or after the age of 55) or death. Civeo restricted share unit, restricted stock award, phantom unit award, and deferred share agreements provide that awards would become fully vested on (i) the date a Change of Control occurs or (ii) the termination of an employee’s employment due to his 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. In determining payout percentage, the performance metric to be applied will be rank, which is attained through the date of Change of Control. 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, 2020, 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, 2020 ("CIC"in the table below), or (iii) termination as a result of death, disability, or qualifying retirement on December 31, 2020, ("DDR" in the table below). None of Mr. Dodson’s potential payments as of December 31, 2020 would trigger a gross-up payment for excise taxes that would be reimbursed under his Executive Agreement.

(1) Reflects the value of unvested options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, phantom units and deferred share awards as of December 31, 2020 that would be accelerated as a result of the separation event based on Civeo’s share price of $13.90, which was the closing market price of Civeo’s common shares on December 31, 2020. For performance shares, the payout is assumed at target level. Due to the exercise price for the unvested options that would become vested and exercisable on a Change of Control and the price of Civeo’s common shares as of December 31, 2020, the aggregate value of such stock options would be zero. In addition, the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” row would be realized by the named executive officers in the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control (without the occurrence of a qualified termination if the awards are not assumed by the successor in the change of control transaction) or upon the named executive officer’s death or disability, in each case, occurring on December 31, 2020. The treatment of Performance Share Awards during a Change of Control is described more fully under “Compensation Program Components—Performance Share Award Program”.

Executive Compensation

Pay Ratio Disclosure

The 2020 annual total compensation of our median compensated employee was $52,108. Mr. Dodson’s 2020 annual total compensation was $2,970,075 and the ratio of these two amounts was 57:1.

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. As permitted by SEC rules, for our 2020 pay ratio, we have re-determined our median-compensated employee as we have now included the Action Catering employees that were not included in the determination of the median-compensated employee for last year’s disclosure, as permitted by SEC rules. We identified the median-compensated employee from our employee population as of December 31, 2020 using base salary or wages and overtime paid during fiscal 2020, which we annualized for any permanent employee who was not employed for the entire year.

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, 2021 and the internal control over financial reporting of Civeo at December 31, 2021. 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, 2020. Our board of directors is asking shareholders to ratify the appointment of E&Y as Civeo’s auditors for the year ending December 31, 2021 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 2021. If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to appoint another independent registered public accounting firm for 2022. 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 26, 2021.

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, 2021 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 2021. 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 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 in order to ensure 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 2020 and 2019 were pre-approved in accordance with our pre-approval policy. None of the services related to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or 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. Civeo has a policy that the hiring of any alumni of Civeo’s independent accounting firm must be pre-approved by either the Chief Financial Officer or the Vice President, Controller to ensure compliance with independence regulations.

Audit Committee Report

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. 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.

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

• 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 PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communication with Audit Committees” and the applicable requirements of 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, 2020 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, 2020 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.

Respectfully submitted,

Additional Management Proposals



PROPOSAL 4 Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Advisory Votes to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

The board of directors has determined that an advisory resolution on executive compensation that is submitted to shareholders every year is the most appropriate alternative for our Company and, therefore, the board of directors recommends that you vote in favor of an annual advisory resolution on executive compensation. This recommendation is based on our belief that an annual advisory resolution on executive compensation will provide shareholders with a frequent and consistent opportunity to express their views on our executive compensation as disclosed in our annual proxy statements and will allow the Compensation Committee to take our shareholders’ views into account more quickly than a less frequent vote would allow and to evaluate changes in our shareholders’ views over time as our executive compensation program evolves.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon us or the board of directors, and the board of directors could, if it concluded it was in our best interests to do so, choose not to follow or implement the outcome of the advisory vote. In setting the agenda for future shareholder meetings, however, we expect that the board of directors will review voting results on this proposal and give due consideration to the outcome. In future years, the board of directors could also recommend to shareholders that an advisory resolution on executive compensation be submitted to shareholders less frequently than annually.

You are not voting to approve or disapprove of the board of directors recommendation. You are being asked to select from one of the four choices set forth above. The alternative (other than abstention) that receives the most votes will be deemed the advice of the shareholders.



The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote that future advisory resolutions on executive compensation be submitted to shareholders annually.

Security Ownership of Management and Certain Beneficial Owners

The following table sets forth information known to Civeo with respect to the beneficial ownership of Civeo’s shares as of March 24, 2021 by:

• each shareholder known by Civeo to own more than 5% of Civeo’s outstanding shares;

• each of Civeo’s current directors;

• each of Civeo’s named executive officers; and

• all of Civeo’s current directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of Civeo that could be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable, and that could be issued upon conversion of preferred shares of Civeo within 60 days of March 24, 2021 are considered outstanding. These shares, however, are not considered outstanding as of March 24, 2021 when computing the percentage ownership of each other person.

To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table or as provided by applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated.

General Information about the Annual General Meeting

The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the annual general meeting. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you. Please refer to the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement and its annexes for more information.

Q: Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A: During the annual general meeting, you will be asked to vote on several proposals, including:

• the election of two persons as Class I members of Civeo’s board of directors: C. Ronald Blankenship and Charles Szalkowski;

• the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of Civeo’s named executive officers;

• the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Civeo’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021 and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders and the authorization of the directors, acting through the Audit Committee, to determine the remuneration to be paid to Ernst & Young LLP for 2021;

• the recommendation, on an advisory basis, as to whether a shareholder vote to approve executive compensation should occur every one, two or three years; and

• the conduct of any other business as may properly come before Civeo’s annual general meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The board of directors knows of no matters, other than those stated in this proxy statement, to be presented for consideration at the annual general meeting.

We encourage you to read this proxy statement carefully, as it contains important information about these proposals and the annual general meeting.

Your vote is important and we encourage you to vote as soon as possible. Even if you plan to attend the annual general meeting virtually, we recommend that you vote your shares prior to the meeting so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.

Q: What vote of shareholders is required to approve the proposals at the annual general meeting?

A: For the Director Proposal and the Auditor Proposal, you may vote either “FOR” or “WITHHOLD.” A plurality of the votes cast by shareholders at the meeting is required to approve the Director Proposal and the Auditor Proposal. Votes cast with respect to the Director Proposal and the Auditor Proposal include only those votes cast “FOR” the proposal, and a vote marked “WITHHOLD” with respect to the proposal will not be voted and will not count for or against the proposal. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of directors. In accordance with our corporate governance guidelines, however, any director who receives a greater number of votes “WITHHELD” from his or her election than votes “FOR” such election is required to tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee following certification of the shareholder vote. For more information, please read “Management-Director Resignation Policy.”

For the Say-on-Pay Proposal, you may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN”. To approve the Say-on-Pay Proposal, the votes cast in favor of the proposal must exceed the votes cast against the proposal.

For the Say-When-on-Pay Proposal, the alternative (other than abstention) that receives the most votes will be deemed the recommendation of the shareholders.

Q: What vote does the board of directors recommend?

A: The board of directors recommends shareholders of Civeo vote “FOR” each of the director nominees named in the Director Proposal, the Auditor Proposal and the Say-on-Pay Proposal. The board of directors recommends shareholders of Civeo vote "ONE YEAR" for the Say-When-on-Pay Proposal.

62

Additional Information

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a registered shareholder of Civeo as of the close of business, U.S. Eastern Time, on March 24, 2021, the record date for the annual general meeting, you may vote online during the annual general meeting (see above regarding how to attend the annual general meeting) or, to ensure your shares are represented at the annual general meeting, you may authorize a proxy to vote by:

• accessing the Internet website specified on your proxy card;

• calling the toll-free number specified on your proxy card; or

• signing and returning your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

A proxy card is being sent with this proxy statement to each shareholder of record as of the record date for the annual general meeting.

If you hold shares in “street name” through a stock brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented at the annual general meeting.

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 you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee of record, your bank, broker or other nominee of record has discretionary voting authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on the Auditor Proposal, even if it has not received voting instructions from you. However, such nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on the Director Proposal, the Say-on-Pay Proposal or the Say-When-on-Pay Proposal without instructions from you, in which case a broker non-vote will result and your shares will not be voted on those matters and will have no effect on the outcome of these votes. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee can include your shares as being present at the annual general meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be able to vote on these matters for which specific authorization is required under the rules of the NYSE. 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

• voting online during the annual general meeting.

Your online 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 fail to vote or I abstain from voting?

A: Under applicable local law, if you are a shareholder of Civeo and (1) vote online during the annual general meeting or by proxy and mark your proxy or voting instructions to abstain, (2) do not vote online during the annual general meeting and do not respond by proxy or (3) fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote, this will have no effect on the Say-on-Pay Proposal or the Say-When-on-Pay Proposal.

If you are a shareholder of Civeo and vote online during the annual general meeting and mark your proxy or voting instructions to withhold, this will have the effect of a vote withheld from the Director Proposal. If you are a shareholder of Civeo and vote online or by proxy during 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 do not vote online during the annual general meeting or respond by proxy, this will have no effect on the Director Proposal or the Auditor Proposal.

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 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, by voting online during the annual general meeting or by proxy, holding at least a majority of the outstanding common shares, will be required to establish a quorum. The shareholders that vote online during the meeting or by proxy at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment,


			2021 Proxy Statement			63

Additional Information

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.

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 2022 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 9, 2021.

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 2022 annual general meeting of shareholders, notice will have to be received by us no later than January 19, 2022. 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 shareholder proposals and nominations of directors. 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 notice of the proposal is not received by us in accordance with the advance notice requirements of our articles discussed above. 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 B usiness Corporations Act ; and (ii) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act .

Additional Information

Householding

The SEC permits a single proxy statement and annual report 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 proxy statement and annual report 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 proxy statement and annual report 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 statement and annual report 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, 2020.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The term EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Civeo Corporation plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The term Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude impairment charges and certain costs associated with Civeo's acquisition of Noralta. 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 2020 were consistent with past practices; none of these adjustments were related to the COVID-19 pandemic. EBITDA and Adjusted 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 and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Civeo has included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental disclosures because its management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted 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 and Adjusted 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 and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss attributable to Civeo Corporation, which is the most directly comparable measure of financial performance calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (in millions) (unaudited):

(1) Relates to asset impairments recorded in 2020, 2019 and 2018. In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our Canadian segment of $38.1 million ($38.1 million after-tax, or $2.71 per diluted share) and a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of long-lived assets in our U.S. segment of $12.4 million ($12.4 million after-tax, or $0.89 per diluted share), which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations.

In the fourth quarter 2019, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of assets in Canada of $0.7 million ($0.5 million after-tax, or $0.04 per diluted share), which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations. In the second quarter 2019, we recorded a pre-tax loss related to the impairment of assets in Australia of $5.5 million ($5.5 million after-tax, or $0.40 per diluted share), which is included in Impairment expense on the unaudited statements of operations. This includes $1.0 million of impairment expense related to an error corrected in the second quarter 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, we identified a future liability related to an asset retirement obligation (ARO) at one of our villages in Australia that should have been recorded in 2011. We determined that the error was not material to our previously issued financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and therefore, corrected the error in the second quarter of 2019.
