Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On September 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of Cameron International Corporation ("Cameron") elected R. Scott Rowe, 43, as President and Chief Operating Officer.  On September 11, 2014, Cameron issued a press release announcing that Mr. Rowe will assume the newly created position effective October 1, 2014.  Mr. Rowe has served as the Chief Executive Officer of OneSubsea, Cameron's joint venture with Schlumberger Limited ("Schlumberger"), since 2014. From 2012 to 2013 Mr. Rowe served as President of Cameron's Subsea Systems division and from 2010 to 2012 as President of Engineered and Process Valves business in Cameron's Valves and Measurement segment. Jack B. Moore will remain Cameron's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Rowe will be succeeded in his role as CEO of OneSubsea by Mike Garding, Schlumberger's President of Completions.

Mr. Rowe will receive an annual base salary of $600,000 and be eligible for a target annual incentive compensation under Cameron's Management Incentive Compensation Plan of 85% of his salary with the actual payment based on Cameron's performance against annual goals established by the Compensation Committee.  In addition, Mr. Rowe will be granted long-term incentive awards with a value of $2,200,000 for the 2015 annual grant cycle in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, performance restricted stock units, and restricted stock units.  The terms of these grants other than the exercise price of the stock options, which will be equal to the fair market value of Cameron's common stock on the date of grant, are described in Cameron's proxy statement for its 2014 annual meeting of stockholders dated March 31, 2014. Mr. Rowe will be eligible to participate in all other compensation and benefit plans available to Cameron executives.  These compensation and benefit plans are described in the proxy statement referenced above.  Cameron previously entered into a Change-in-Control agreement with Mr. Rowe with a multiplier of two in substantially the same form filed as Exhibit 10.11 to the 2013 Form 10-K.

Additionally, effective January 2015, James E. Wright will retire as President of Cameron's Valves and Measurement Group.  He will be succeeded in this role by Douglas E. Meikle, 52.  Mr. Meikle has served as Vice President, Operational Excellence on Cameron's executive leadership team since 2013.  Prior to that time Mr. Meikle served as Chief Executive Officer of Stork Technical Services and Regional Vice President for Europe & Eurasia for Halliburton.
