ITEM 5.02                          Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)            Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As described in Item 5.07 below, at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of KBR, Inc. (the "Company"), the Company's stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Stock and Incentive Plan").  On March 9, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Compensation Committee") recommended to the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") that it approve the amendment and restatement of the Stock and Incentive Plan, and on March 9, 2016, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Stock and Incentive Plan, subject to stockholder approval at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company on May 12, 2016.  The effective date of the amended and restated Stock and Incentive Plan is May 12, 2016.  The Stock and Incentive Plan was last amended and approved by stockholders at the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Stock and Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is comprised of independent directors.  The Stock and Incentive Plan authorizes the following types of awards to be made to employees, officers, or directors of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as designated by the Compensation Committee: (1) stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock awards, (4) restricted stock unit awards, (5) performance awards, including qualified performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (6) stock value equivalent awards.

The following is a summary of the material changes that are contained in the amended and restated Stock and Incentive Plan as compared to the existing Stock and Incentive Plan.
(i) Increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the Stock and Incentive Plan by 4,400,000 shares from 12,000,000 to 16,400,000.
(ii) Increase the sublimit on the number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the Stock and Incentive Plan in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock value equivalent awards, or pursuant to performance awards denominated in common stock by 4,400,000 from 5,500,000 to 9,900,000.
(iii) Extend the term of the plan from May 17, 2022 until May 12, 2026.
(iv) Impose a limit on the amount of compensation, including cash and equity, that may be paid to a non-employee director in a single calendar year.
(v) Add minimum vesting requirements to stock value equivalent awards and performance awards denominated in common stock consistent with the minimum vesting requirements that apply to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards (vesting in equal annual installments over a period of at least three years).
(vi) Add a limit of 5% of authorized shares that may be granted pursuant to restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock value equivalent awards, and performance awards denominated in common stock with a vesting schedule less than three years.
(vii) Add a prohibition on dividend equivalents for stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Additional details of the Stock and Incentive Plan are included in the Company's 2016 Proxy Statement under the heading "Proposal No. 4 Approve an Amendment and Restatement of the KBR, Inc. 2006 Stock and Incentive Plan."  The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the amended and restated Stock and Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
