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

Appointment of Director

On November 1, 2011, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Exterran Holdings, Inc. (“our” or “us”) appointed Mark R. Sotir as a director and as a member of the compensation committee of the Board.  The Board determined that Mr. Sotir is independent under applicable laws, regulations, our Corporate Governance Principles and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.    Mr. Sotir was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Janet F. Clark from the Board in September 2011.

Mr. Sotir has been a Managing Director of Equity Group Investments, L.L.C. (“EGI”), a private investment firm, for at least the past five years and serves as a member of the board of directors of certain private affiliates of EGI.  EGI and its affiliates have reported beneficial ownership of approximately 9.9% of our outstanding common stock.  Mr. Sotir holds an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and a B.A. in economics from Amherst College.

Mr. Sotir will receive compensation for his service as a director consistent with that provided to our other non-employee directors, as previously disclosed in our annual proxy statement, and will be eligible to participate in our Directors’ Stock and Deferral Plan. The terms of our Directors’ Stock and Deferral Plan are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.16 of our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 23, 2007.

Adoption of Employment Inducement Plan
 
On November 1, 2011, the Board adopted the Exterran Holdings, Inc. 2011 Employment Inducement Long-Term Equity Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan, which will be administered by the compensation committee of the Board, authorizes the issuance of awards of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance awards to certain newly-hired employees of us or our affiliates.  Up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock is available for issuance under the Plan.

The Plan was adopted by the Board without stockholder approval pursuant to Section 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and is only available to grant awards as a material inducement for individuals to enter into employment with us. Awards under the Plan may only be granted to an individual, as a material inducement to such individual to enter into employment with us, who (i) has not previously been an employee of us or our affiliates or (ii) is rehired following a bona fide period of non-employment with us and our affiliates.

The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on November 4, 2011 and incorporated herein by reference.
