(d) Election of Directors.
KBR announced the election of Jack B. Moore to its Board of Directors effective January 1, 2012, to fill a vacancy created when the Board of Directors was expanded on December 14, 2011 from eight to nine members. Mr. Moore will serve as a Class III director, with a term expiring at KBR’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Moore is independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Moore has been appointed to serve on the Audit and the Corporate Social Responsibility Committees of the Board of Directors. There are not any related party transactions between KBR and Mr. Moore that are subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The full text of the press release announcing Mr. Moore’s election is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
Mr. Moore holds a B.B.A. degree from the University of Houston and is a graduate of the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School. He serves on the boards of directors of the American Petroleum Institute (API), the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) and the Petroleum Equipment Suppliers Association. He also serves in positions of leadership for the Greater Houston Partnership, Spindletop Charities, Memorial Drive United Methodist Church and The University of Houston C.T. Bauer College of Business Dean’s Executive Board.
On the same date, KBR’s Board of Directors approved an increase (effective January 3, 2011) in the equity compensation to be received by its non-employee Directors to an annual award of shares of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, to a value of approximately $110,000, up from the previous annual awards of approximately $100,000. Like KBR’s other non-employee directors, Mr. Moore will be granted such an award with the number of the RSUs determined by the closing price of KBR’s common stock on January 3, 2012. The restrictions on the RSUs will lapse six months after the grant date. Additionally, the RSUs contain the same acceleration of vesting and forfeiture provisions as all other RSU grants to the other members of the Board of Directors. The full text and a summary of the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended, is included in KBR’s Proxy Statement relating to KBR’s 2007 annual meeting of stockholders, as filed with the Commission on August 15, 2007 (Commission File No. 001-33146).
