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

 

(e)           On May 2, 2013, at the Fluor Corporation (“Fluor”) annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the stockholders approved the Fluor Corporation Amended and Restated 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan (the “Restated Plan”), which amends Fluor’s 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan (the “Original Plan”).  The Restated Plan, among other things, adds 12,000,000 shares to the Original Plan, increasing the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock in respect of which awards may be granted from 11,000,000 shares to 23,000,000 shares, plus the number of shares that are subject to outstanding awards under prior plans but which are not thereafter issued upon exercise or settlement of such awards.

 

In addition to the share pool increase, the Restated Plan also changes the share counting formula under the Original Plan such that stock awards, other than stock options and stock appreciation rights, that are granted after March 7, 2013 reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the Restated Plan by 2.25 times the number of shares subject to such award.  Stock options and stock appreciation rights will continue to be counted on a share-for-share basis.

 

The Restated Plan also increases, for awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum amount payable pursuant to an incentive award under the plan to any participant for any one year to $10,000,000, the maximum number of shares that may be subject to stock options or stock appreciation rights granted to any one participant in any one year to 1,125,000 shares, and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights granted to any one participant in any one year to 375,000 shares (with each of these limits doubled with respect to awards to newly-hired employees in connection with the commencement of their employment).  The Restated Plan also contains certain other administrative changes.

 

The Restated Plan has a number of special terms and limitations, including without limitation:

 

·                  the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Restated Plan must equal or exceed the underlying stock’s fair market value, based on the closing price per share of Fluor’s common stock (or, at the administrative committee’s discretion, an average selling or closing price during a specified period that is within thirty days before the grant date through thirty days following the grant date), at the time the stock option or stock appreciation right is granted, subject to a limited exception for certain stock options assumed or substituted in corporate transactions;

 

·                  stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Restated Plan may not be “repriced” without stockholder approval;

 

·                  shares retained by or delivered to Fluor to pay the exercise price of an outstanding stock option, unissued shares resulting from the net settlement of a stock option or stock appreciation right, and shares purchased by Fluor in the open market using the proceeds of option exercises do not become available for issuance as future awards under the Restated Plan;

 

·                  shares retained by or delivered to Fluor to pay the withholding taxes related to (i) any stock option or stock appreciation right vesting on or after March 7, 2013 or (ii) any award vesting prior to March 7, 2013 do not become available for issuance as future awards under the Restated Plan;

 

·                  stock-based awards under the Restated Plan are subject to either three-year or one-year minimum vesting requirements, subject to exceptions for death, disability, termination of employment or upon a change of control;

 

·                  the Restated Plan prohibits the payment of current dividends on unearned performance awards or dividend equivalent rights on stock options or stock appreciation rights;

 

·                  non-employee directors may not participate under the Restated Plan; and

 

·                  stockholder approval is required for certain types of amendments to the Restated Plan.
