ITEM 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On June 6, 2012, KBR, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) which (i) phases out the Company’s classified board structure and provides for the annual election of directors beginning at the 2012 annual meeting; and (ii) removes outdated and no longer relevant provisions relating to when KBR was a wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary of Halliburton Company, in each case as more fully described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2012.
Pursuant to the amendments, commencing with the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders when the declassification will be complete, all directors will be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting. The amendments do not affect directors elected to three-year terms at the 2010 or 2011 annual meetings, each of whom will be entitled to complete the term to which he or she was elected.
The Company’s stockholders approved the Certificate of Incorporation at its annual meeting, as more specifically described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 21, 2012.
The description of the Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
